If you are patient, it does work. I use these products religiously twice a day everyday - no exceptions! Every month, around my ovulation and period, I get 1-2 almost pimples but they never fully materialize and they are gone within 2-3 days. I'm happy I stuck with this product. It's the first I found that works for me and I think it is because it combines salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Most lines are one or the other and that did not seem to work for me. Good luck on your quest to be acne free!

yo. i cant say i love this product. i mean it is pretty good when it comes to cleaning off make up but other than that its okay. i have genetic acne so i dont think any product will work for me . my skin looks bumpy. and i guess clinique got rid of some of that bumpness but it stopped working after like a month. i dont think its worth the money it works just as well as any other drug store product

I've had moderate acne for most of my adult life, and I found this product about a year ago, I have tried other brands, but always come back to this one.

These are small versions of larger products, I wouldn't recommend for daily usage but maybe two or three times a week, it might dry up your skin too much.

Last moth a tried Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Trifix lotion with horrible results, I broke up like I hadn't in years, after a couple of weeks of that, I stopped and immediately returned to Clinique's system, I won't be making the same mistake again.

Like suggested in acne.org, I sometimes use the wash as shaving cream and the lotion as aftershave, the moisturizer is good, but it's more like cream, so I still use another more potent moisturizer on top of it (Action by Anthony Logistics), this combo is working great.

So in conclusion, A++ products, highly recommended!

This product is great for us! My 13 year old was prescribed Differin Gel from her dermatologist, her face broke out severely (IB), was swollen, burned and was red. Called dermatologist, he asked to reduce treatment to 3 times a week. Well, my daughter refused to put it on her face again, she was so depressed b/c of the way her face looked. I went out and purchased Clinique Acne Solutions 3 step system for her and honestly, within 3 days, her face was noticeable clearer. Here we are 2 weeks into it and there is a huge difference in her skin. The only thing I would recommed would be to purchase the Cleansing bar instead of the Foam cleaner, due to the soap will last longer. Also, you must use a moisturizer as it does dry out skin. These are small cons to us due to the results she has gotten.

i would recommend this for people with normal acne but not for girls like myself. I used it for 3 months and i didn't see any improvements. i thought that because it is sold in the mall and it is expensive it would work wonders but it didn't. =C maybe this product is not meant for severe acne and that is why it didn't work on me!

It's not an overnight cure but it will work if you stick with the routine. Do not mess with the routine for the first couple of weeks and you will be just fine. I can go out without makeup now and I couldn't before. However I still get break outs

I don't write online reviews ever. But I had to make an exception here in the event that I can help someone out, goodness knows I would have appreciated it!

Here's my story, I've battled acne for over 15 years (I'm 30 now). I went through two 5 month doses of Accutane as a teenager which cleared things up for a few years, but once out of college, my acne flared up again and seemed to get worse every year. From age 24 to 30, I tried a number of acne-fighting lines: Pro-Activ which worked for a few months then turned my skin scaly and red, Aveda's Acne line which didn't do much, multiple different prescriptions (oral and topical) from the dermatologist, and then Acne.org. Dan's regimen worked on to an extent, but my already sensitive skin became red and flaky, which would have been manageable, but I still had pimples...so it didn't seem worth it to me.

Looking to change things up once again, I perused lots of reviews online and settled on trying Clinique as a last ditch effort before heading back to the derm and requesting Accutane. And I'm so glad that I did! I use the Clinique regimen in the morning, and the Acne.org face wash and BP at night, and within 3 weeks, my face became 100% clear...I'm seriously amazed. Now that I've been using this regimen for a while, I've added Clinque's "dramatically different moisturizing gel" in the summer, and Clinique's "moisture surge" in the winter. I finally have skin I feel proud of. It's soft and blemish free which is something I haven't been able to say in a long time. And even better, I've been able to slowly add in anti-aging creams without the fear of breaking out. I can't recommend this line enough, and if you try it, I hope it works the same for you!

I used this for about a year, it seemed to work better than my spot treatments, but my acne wouldn't go away. I finally gave in and visited a derm. I wish I had done that sooner. If your acne is mild I can see how this might work, but if you try it for awhile and it's not working, move on asap and see a doctor. They can prescribe you more effective treatments.

I bought this merely out of desperation, but i was really disappointed as i really wanted to like this stuff. The foam in the cleanser doesnt cleanse well since its too light.

The toner is really harsh and drying because of the high alcohol content and really irritates sensitive skin. Even using the moisturizer didnt help. Skin still felt greasy and flaky.

It works really well. I've been using it for almost 4 years now, and I have severe acne, the kind that hurts like a beeznatch. At first it sucks, because it brings out ALL the pimples that have been hiding for a while, but after it clears all those up, you're skin is really nice.

Skin is soft, clear and honestly, after 2-3 months, if you ever have to use a heavy concealer and walk out of your house wearing anything but a light powder ladies, it will never work for you. The salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are the only over the counter products that work for me, and the toner has witch hazel, which is mother nature's gift to acne prone skin. It's very soothing and if you stick with it, redness=0.

I'm basing price on buying all three big bottles for each month or a little over, but for the starter kit it's about 45.00 (way too overpriced for little bottles)
