Most Clinique for Men products are just repackaged women's products and sometimes more expensive. For example the men facial soap comes in 150ml only and retails for the same price as the women liquid facial soap. But the catch is the women one comes in 200ml size. both are the same (i used both before). Even the Clinique SA told me to get the women one as it is more worth it LOL.

The Liquid Face Wash is just average and can be a little drying for some people. The Scruffing lotions are mainly alcohol, witch hazel and salicylic acid and are really overpriced. You could get something similar in ingredients and size for a quarter of the price (RM78, 200ml) at Guardian/Watsons.

The products I like are the M Gel Lotion (same as the women moisture gel) and facial scrub. There are many other products in the men range but those I mentioned above are the ones I have used before. I must stress that everyone skin is different and the products that didn't work for me might work for u and vice versa.

I used Clinique products (men and women) for a year before trying Lab Series and recently Biotherm Homme. My favourite is Biotherm Homme. But nothing beats the Clinique M Gel Lotion.

You have great knowledge of care product. Do you work for this industry or your enthusiasm towards care product?

No la I don't work in the industry.

I just have an interest in taking care of my face as I suffer from acne since my teens. Some guys lucky because they don't have to do much to have good skin unlike me. I do hope one day I can just wash face and be done rather then going through so many steps like now. So far so good, I think I'm getting there.

Haha....Okay then. Btw I just bought my 1st Biotherm product. I choose Aquapower since the sales girl said I don't need T-Pur. I feel different after a week using it. Before this I'm using Clinique.

Yeah Aqua Moisturizer. I bought it one set combine with homme cleanser and I dunno (something like lotion and another one is for hydrating) what its called. Total for 4 bottle Rm388. Clinique doesn't suit me well, my face always dry. For the sample, I got a few but dunno where I put it.

I suggest u try going to any of the Clinique counters and get the SA determine what kind of skin u have. The Clinique SAs can be quite arrogant (especially the older ones) and have this "I know more than u so u shut up n listen". Me and my gf kena few times edi. But they seem to know their stuff. The friendliest and most helpful one is Sally from the Jusco 1U Clinique counter...she doesn't aggressively push products too. There's this really cute and friendly clinique SA at Isetan Gardens..i think her name is May iirc.

Wow...You even memorize their name. For me, Parkson KLCC counter are great. They put all their product on my face and let me walk-walk around KLCC to feel the different. Both Clinique and Biotherm are good.
