I'm not fond of Clinique. The majority of their skincare is alcohol-based. Their foundations break ME out, and I can wear almost anything. Have them test on you, then wear it for the remainder of the day. Usually, if you're going to break out in some sort of rash, it happens almost immediately. I wait a whole day, just to be safe. It gives you the chance to wear it in almost all enviroments to seehow it reacts on your skin.
Just because they're dressed like your gynecologist doesn't mean that they know what they're talking about.
