i got this as a gwp. while the clinique counter lady reccomended me to get this stuff before, i never have had enough money for it (its like $30-something). i have used samples before, but hadnt in a while. i have really broken out lately, and i decided to try it again cuz it was in my gwp. i put some on before bedtime, 2 nights in a row..and my face looked wonderful (although results DID show up the first night too)!! my face wasnt flaky where it would usually be which was a miracle to me hehe. i definitely reccomend this, and if you have really oily skin like me, try the oil-free turnaround cream.
