I am not a big fan of Clinique's 3 step system. The thing they don't tell you is that the 3 step system requires 2 other steps. That soap isn't designed to remove makeup, so you have to buy a makeup remover. The dramatically different moisturizer isn't a true moisturizer & they recommend getting ANOTHER moisturizer in addition to it. So it can get quite complicated.

I am the manager of an Estee Lauder counter and I LOVE our skincare. For normal combination skin (which is what I am) I would use the Perfectly Clean cleanser & Toner...then I usually follow with Idealist (but you can skip this if desired), then a moisturizer...my absolute favorite is the Future Perfect. it's a new one. I really have seen a difference in my skin since I've been using our products. I also use an eye creme...it's never too early to start. I use Advanced Night Repair Eye recovery.
