Pros:

-exfoliated wonderfully
-makes my face feel smooth

Cons:

-smelled odd

I used this Clinique 7 Day Scrub in turn with Epiduo gel for about a month and it didnt clear up my acne all the way and i still got very frequent breakouts. I started using this with Differin and Benzaclin, both prescription acne creams, about 3 weeks ago, after my doctor recommended it for me. I have barely any pimples on my face, maybe a couple on my forehead, but the rest have dissappeared !!!

Pros:

Acne is clearing already!
Redness is gone
face dosnt hurt

Cons:

Price
Toner stinks

I JUST started using this and I can already see a huge improvement. I started breaking out horrible in December and its lasted until now. Ive tried everything, just recently I was using Murad and lots of homeade masks but it was just getting worse. But with the Clinique I can go almost the whole day without my face throbbing and itching, the redness ahs gone down so much its ridiculous! I actually woke up and smiled today :) This is only the first week so I pray the results only get better, good luck to all of you trying it I really hope it works for you!

Pros:

Cleared up skin

Cons:

Can't find any!

I had a really hard time with acne, and felt like I had tried everything! From Proactiv to home remedies, I just couldn't seem to find anything that worked. Once I started using Clinique, I saw a difference right away in both my acne, and the overall texture of my skin. While I sometimes still have one or two pimples that pop up once in a while, I just put some of my spot healing gel on it, and the zit is gone within a couple days. I will say, the price is not the most desirable...but once I started seeing results I really didn't care! I could not be happier with this product, I have been recommending it to all my friends and they have all seen results as well. Try it!! You will LOVE your skin!!

Pros:

Works fast, they guarantee it so you really have nothing to lose

Cons:

Nothing

This is the best acne product out there. I have tried everything...prescription creams, antibiotics, proactiv, skinID, Aveda, natural remedies...you name it. Nothing seemed to work for me. I have been trying to find something that works like this for 12 years. I read all the reviews and decided all of that positive feedback might be worth a try. Boy, it was. If you don't use a moisturizer along with it, it will dry you out. I use Clinique's Moisture Surge and I only use the acne solutions clearing moisturizer at night. Well worth it, and now I finally feel comfortable in my own skin.

Pros:

Cleared my acne

Cons:

Drying

I have oily, sensitive skin & have been breaking out from almost every skin care product I tried. My mother actually called me & told me to try this out, & I thought "I doubt it's going to work, but I'll give it a try." Within a week, my acne cleared up. I mean, that's fast. I was so happy. The only problem I had was that it was so drying, to the point where my face felt stiff. It says to continue using it even after your acne is gone, to prevent acne, but I don't think I will. I just hope my acne doesn't come back after I stop using this kit.

Pros:

Cleared up face

Cons:

Dried my face up, Didn't work as well as the first time I used it

I first started using this product about 6 months ago. It worked really well, cleared up everything within 4 days. However, my face got so dry from it that I had to stop using the product because not even regular moisturizer helped. Once I started again, It didn't work as well as it originally had

Pros:

None

Cons:

Break out 5x more in 2 week time period.

I went to get this , after I hear of all the good reviews of the product at [link removed] or w/e. I found out that Clinque FILTERS their reviews,which pisses me off "98% recommend this item." Acne.org is more accurate, and this product is terrible.

Pros:

It really helped my acne

Cons:

Took 6 weeks to work, made my four head a little dry.

Overall this worked for my acne. At first my skin was very sensitive when I used it. I have been using it for 4 months now, and the past 2 months my skin has been better then ever. I usually I break out really bad during my period, and I haven't had one pimple. I used their moisturizer only on my problem areas like my chin, nose and right between my eye brows. The only bad thing about this product is that it leaves my forehead very dry, so I use my own moisturizer for my forehead and cheeks.

I noticed an improvement in my skin within a week. I love Clinique. My skin looks and feels amazing. This is the first product I've tried that didn't require a perscription. I would recommend this to anyone. You really don't have anything to lose. You can return the product for a full refund if purchased from a department store. Although you won't need to. Clinique has a lot of amazing products!

doesn't dry out your face

I wouldn't recommend this product. I've used other products and seen some type of results after 2 weeks but I haven't with Clinique.
