AnswerHello Sarah,
Please excuse the delay in my response to your question. I've spent quite some time trying to review the clinique products you mention, only to find out that clinique does not list the full ingredient list on any of its products. As a holistic beauty care expert, I would recommend you to throw away your clinique products and never buy anything from this brand anymore. It may sound rather radical to you, but you should never trust a company which withholds information from you, as it is highly suspicious... and potentially dangerous for your health.
I understand you'd like me to give you a quick and easy solution because you're so busy and have no time. But the truth is that I can't because there's no such thing as a quick and easy solution for breakouts, except doing a real thorough detox for 3 weeks. You can find more about it here:

Instead of giving you the name of a magical product, which doesn't exist, I'm going to suggest simple steps which will heal these breakouts.
Unfortunately, there is no elegant way to totally conceal breakouts and women who try to do it end up looking like bad clowns. Instead, I would really suggest you find a good natural cleanser, and do regular gentle exfoliation and facial masks with green clay. Here is an article which will guide you to heal your breakouts:

Try a few good natural moisturizer without any petrochemicals in them (like dimethicone, PEG, carbomer and the like): just visit your health food store or something like Sephora and try one moisturizer on each cheek and see how it feels). Using too much foundation will only make things worse. So my advise is to tell your daughters that your body is only doing something natural, because it's reacting to something which it doesn't like and that while you're trying to fix it, you'd appreciate if they were restraining from making you feel bad about the spots (this is only a suggestion); meanwhile, try NOT to use foundation, maybe just a concealer from Lavera or Dr Hauschka. Try to give your skin a break
If you are taking a birth control pill, or other medications, you may want to ask your doctor if your breakouts could come as a side effect of the medications you take. In this case, he should be able to change your prescription for something which will be better tolerated by your body.
I hope you find this answer helpful.
Have a beautiful day,
Take good care
