I've been using Clinique stuff forever and it doesn't seem to be working for my skin anymore. I've no idea what to switch to and don't want to waste loads of money on new products that turn out to be rubbish. I want some sort of wash off cleanser, toner and moisturizer and I've no idea whether I should be using anti wrinkle cream (does it actually work??). Oh, and I'm 35 and thinking maybe I should switch to more organic type products...

Anyway, I'd really appreciate suggestions!

I will be watching this thread with interest as I am exactly the same but 32 What Clinique skin type are you? I have tried Liz Earle cleanse and polish which is lovely but your skin doesn't feel as clean as it does with Clinique (but that is possibly a good thing)

I've not used Clinique stuff but I like Origins and decleor and they are both good at giving out samples to try things before making a purchase. The Dr Andrew somebody or other stuff for Origins is lovely, as are the Decleor face oils.

Elemis is quite nice, I'm a Clinique fan myself but i'm slowly branching out into more Elemis products.

I lied about Clinique (was thinking of Clarins). I don't like Clinique skin care at all, although I love their makeup. The Olay Regenerist stuff is nice. What's your skin like? The Origins wash-off cleansers are pleasant but can be a bit drying. The Olay wash, it's called Repolisher or something (has tiny exfoliating beads in) is pretty good too.

I have used Clinique for ages but then started using cheapo L'Oreal cleanser for mature skin which was good.

When I am feeling flush I buy REN- in fact I am a REN convert. The cleansers are sooo gentle and you can wash off or wipe off- around £16 but lasts for months and months.

I also use REN day time moistursier for dry skin and their frankisence repair night serum, and Omega 3 oil night stuff- all absolutely great and no nasties or artificial anything in them.
