Askmewhats Reviews: Clinique's Turnaround Concentrate

You know why I've been reviewing a couple of Clinique products? Well aside from the fact that their 3 step skincare system works so well for me, I like it that the company gives importance to testers. I love how they package their testers in cute packaging and I love it that their testers can last for at least 2 weeks or more.

I have a sample of the Clinique's Turnaround Concentrate which I've been meaning to try when I read raves about this. I am glad this came along with the Clinique Sample Kit, I seriously bought full size of skincare products after trying out testers!

Pros

• easy to use, not too liquidy or creamy, texture is just right
• makes my skin very soft
• no breakouts
• no weird scent
• absorbs to the skin easily
  

Cons

• the "brightness" won't be seen at once, so please, be patient lol
• quite pricey
  

Overall

I've stressed this before and will be stressing this again. This is a kind of product that you see results after weeks or more. Do not expect overnight changes! I find that most products takes it effect on me at least 2 weeks after of constant use. The first time I've used this product, I thought it didn't do anything for my skin, but after weeks and weeks, I've finally realized how smooth my skin is! The brightening effect I still haven't seen but definitely, I got lesser breakouts.

I've been using my Clinique's 3-step system and so far, I think my skin has reached it's saturation point, meaning, I can't seem to find any differences or changes anymore. I've found my skin getting flaky and dry again for the past weeks. So I've tried incorporating this after my 3-step Clinique Skin Care System and it works really well! I woke up the next day with lesser flakes and after a week of usage, I'm back with the skin I'm loving! *knocks on wood*

Tips

• use this twice daily, morning and evening after your skincare system
• apply just a thin layer will be enough
• do go to Clinique counters to have your skin type checked before purchasing any products
  

Will I repurchase?

Seriously? If it goes on sale! I will definitely add this up to my skincare. I've been using it til now combining this with different skincare program and it still works! Doesn't cause me problems.

Where to purchase and how much?

Do you seriously think serums or concentrates are helpful to your skincare regimen? In my case, I can live without it but its an added luxury to have the extra step. I know my oily skinned friends are hesitant to add any additional step to their regimen so please be careful in putting any stuffs...if you see any signs of allergies or negative reactions, STOP using the product..IMMEDIATELY :)

Keep smilin'
Stay happy
