If you are experiencing an increase in breakouts we do also recommend incorporating Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel into your routine to spot-treat stubborn blemishes and apply in the areas that are prone to acne, preventing future breakouts.

Hi, I recently purchased the 3 step acne solutions, and I'm just curious, is it okay for my face to feel completely dried out? Is there something I should be putting on after the 3 steps? Should I not be using the 3rd step all over my fave and just in needed spots? Not sure which step is making my face feel so dry. Thanks! Thank you!

- Q
I've been using 7 day scrub, acne solution cleansing foam, Clinique clarifying lotion 3, and the dramatically different moisturizing gel (in order) and I'm finding myself breaking out a little more than usual. Is this normal? I'm 1 week in (using Clinique products) I don't want to give up because I do believe one must use something faithfully to see results. Is it possible my skin is purging?
- Asked by Nen
- Official Answer By Clinique USWe are so glad you got your hands on the Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System to help clear breakout. Anytime you are treating breakout, you'll want to avoid a physical exfoliant such as Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula. This can spread acne bacteria while you are trying to clear breakout. Keep it put back, as you may start using it again once the breakout is clear! Was this answer helpful to you
