Pros:

Not a harsh scrub,
Dries zits and pimples super fast,
Makes skin feel amazing,
Easy to do day and night
Many many more!

Cons:

Dries skin out, recomend using the acne gel moisturizer, also a great product!

I used other brands for my acne, mainly scrubs and other products that used fragrances and high percentages of Benzoyl Peroxide. The foam doesn't irritate my skin and most importantly it doesn't hurt if you rub too hard. The 2nd step (the astringent) really cleans your face and you feel how clean it really is, almost a tingly feeling. At first it stung but now my face is used to it. I used to mix products to increase results but now this is all I use! Along with the Dark Spot Remover and the Acne Solutions foundation and powder, my skin is looking the best it has in years! Also, very inexpensive in comparison to Estee Lauder or other brands, so glad I discovered Clinique!

Pros:

Cleared my acne in two weeks!
Brightens the skin

Cons:

Definitely dries out the skin initially when you're trying to get used to the product
I recommend using the moisture surge gel after the three step process to lock in moisture

Don't give up! I almost did because my skin was hurting so much, but I didn't and now my skin is almost clear. I'm hoping this will hold out for me because I am so far satisfied with the results.

Pros:

I've only been on this for 5 days and my skin has cleared up somewhat. But I'm assuming its a little too soon to tell. Definitely noticed my pimples dried up after only one day!

Cons:

Very drying and stings my cheeks. I tried to put the regular moisturizing gel over it but its not helping all that much.
Noticed some nodule pimples on my cheek after this but I'v heard it gets worse before it gets better.

Clinique definitely has the right ingredients to combat moderate acne. However I don't think that purely drying out the skin is the best solution to getting rid of acne. When your skin is overly dry it will react by creating more oil to make up for this deficiency, (hence the hard pimples below the surface I have found on my cheeks).. I'm still going to continue to ride out the next few weeks perhaps my skin will become used to it. Good luck!

Pros:

This product is amazing
It cleans your face
It makes your skin soft
And clears up acne

Cons:

Absolutely nothing bad about this product

And money is no object

I have used this product "the three step" for about a week. It really works I couldn't believe it. It's like magic to me I've tried everything like proactive and clear and clear ect. Also dint use home remedies like baking soda and tooth paste it just dries out your skin more. The first night I used this I used all three steps + the " yellow" moisturizer surge ***because the step three kinda dries out your skin*** and when I woke up it was amazing it was so soft and cleared up a little it prevented more pimples from forming . The first step really helps with cleaning your skin and the second step really helps make your skin soft and the last step helps misturizes your skin. A week later my skin is clearer and no new pimples have formed it's great my face is literally almost clear it helps with everything and is really quick. I am a 14 year old boy. I know that clinique is for girls but I had no other choose. My mom went out and bought it for me and I'm glad she did. If your a young boy and have any type of acne go gets this or have ur mom go get it no one will now you r using a kinda girls face soap I use it and no one knows not even my family but the only thing they do noticed is my face clearing up. So go get it my acne use to destroy my life I use to not want to leave the house because of acne and now my probes are gone. And now I can be around my family, friends and my girl friend with out them looking at my acne. My girl friend use to hate looking at my acne and she wanted me to do something about it and I did and now she never wants to leave me alone And remember acne is known to strip paint off the wall!!!

Pros:

Cleared up acne/acne scars
Expensive

Cons:

Made skin dry (however, I now use it with the acne even better moisturizer and love it.. stays nice all day)

Product works. It is pricier than most Drug store products, however the results I received with the product was well worth it. I stuck with using it and am so glad I did. It cleared up my acne, and I have been using the Even Better Moisturizer (to even my skin tone from old acne scars) and I just love the results. Well worth it. The starter kit I started with was 40.00 (for the trial sized bottles)... however the 1st step ran out kind of fast (I like to really lather..). The full sized bottles individually are about 18-20.

Pros:

Acne disappears right before your eyes (not literally but y'all know what i mean),
very easy regiment,
not so harsh that it hurts or burns sensitive skin,
helps reduce oily skin, tho it does dry out your skin but thats what its supposed to do!:),
leaves skin feeling smooth and soft,
and it is just amazing!

Cons:

Now people usually put pricey in this slot but I'm not gonna say so, I have tried other things through dermatologists and a facialist and they gave me Raya products and Repechage products which are very very pricey and hard to get ahold of, but this is a very reasonably priced product especially for the amazing outcome.
Like I said it does dry out skin, but i used the moisture surge in place of the acne solution moisturizer every other day. Which helps tremendously!

I HIGHLY recommend this product, I am almost 20 years of age and I graduated from Cosmetology School and am waiting to take my State Board to start in a Salon, and I wanted my face to be clear for my interview..and it is most definitely getting there! :) I know the price I paid was high but I went all out and got the amazing Face Mask, Acne Solutions Spot Gel, as well as the Acne Solutions Foundation. I also recommend the Acne Solutions Foundation also, it also helps with acne BIG time, and it is VERYY important to be careful what foundation you use, it can alter you regiment, you can be using the best product in the world (which is this one!:)) but be applying a foundation that puts back all the bacteria and junk gunk and funk that you're trying to get rid of. Your skin is very very VERY important and you only get to take care of it once, so take great care of it! :) GoodLuck!:) Hope this helped!

Pros:

IT WORKS!!!
Gives you super glowing skin without makeup!!!

Cons:

Bit costly...
The foaming wash is not very effective in removing makeup or moisturizer.

This is the first proper acne treatment I've ever used and I wasn't expecting such good results. But it worked wonders for my skin. I always dreamed of having clear skin and now my skin is now so clear and glowing that I don't need to put any makeup on to cover my flaws. All my friends keep praising me for the lovely skin I have now. The only problem is that if you skip your routine for a couple of days your skin starts getting acne again...So you have to follow the routine religiously. I wish it also helped develop some immunity against acne too when you're not using it.

Pros:

- cleared some of my acne

Cons:

- very expensive for not much product
- very drying
- still experienced breakouts

I just used the moisturizer for the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. It definitely was NOT moisturizing, but it made a noticeable difference with my acne. It's way more economical and effective just to use a separate BP and moisturizer, though.

Pros:

Works amazingly!
Reduces oil on face.
Clears up acne (even the left over bump).
Doesn't dry out skin.
Leaves it feeling soft and fresh.

Cons:

A little pricey.

I love this product! I started using Proactiv for about 2 or 3 months, and it wasn't doing anything to my skin. So, I decided to get this product because I heard such good things about it and all those reviews were correct! I completely and totally recommend Clinique Acne Solutions! :D
