Pros:

Fast Results, easy application, fragrance free

Cons:

a little drying, bleaches fabrics

I've only been using this for a week [am & pm] and I'm already seeing lots of results. After a day all pimples were flattened. I currently don't have any acne. I used to have serious blackhead problems on my nose, but now they're almost completely gone. I have sunburn right now, so I don't know if my redness is gone. The lotion lightly bleaches fabrics, so let it dry before putting your face on your pillow. I did have some drying, but it wasn't too bad. I just lightly applied another moisturizer in the afternoon. It can be a bit pricey, but after digging around online you can find a reasonable price. 30$ isn't too bad for 3 products that work.

Pros:

Treats breakout well and stops future breakut from erupting.

Cons:

Benzol Peroxide found in moisturizer is abit too harsh for sensitive skin.

Basically Clinique 3-step system start with cleanse, tone and moisturize. The basic science behind Clinique 3-step is Exfoliation. Lead by one of the best dermatologist in America, Dr David Orentreich, believes that exfoliation is KEY to unclog pores to prevent build-up of dirt and bacteria, hence no more acne! Once exfoliation is done, the primary ingredients (Benzol Peroxide & Salicylic Acid) gushes into the pores to clean all the sh*t up! Next thing you know it... clear skin! Well the best thing about Clinique is totally hypoallegenic and fragrance free. The bad thing... perhaps the chemicals used are abit too harsh. I have tried many facial products over the past 2 years (Proactiv, Dr Murad, Malin & Goetz & many more) all failed to stop my breakout from occuring. However Clinique managed to put my breakups under control. I'ms glad I have found Clinique! I will 100% recommend this product to everyone who is seeking for a clearer,better and more youthful skin.

Pros:

Works Quickly, Not too harsh.

Cons:

Drying the first few days, pricey but well worth it.

I've been using this 3-step system for just about a week now and I've seen a dramatic change in the way my face looks. I've gotten many compliments already! I look forward to continue using this product for even better results! :)

Pros:

None

Cons:

Severe rash from using it just once
Dries skin out severely
Too expensive for the result I got

I had used Clinique Acne solutions in the past and it worked great - they must have changed the formula. I bought this on Monday, used the three steps before bed Monday night. Tuesday morning my face felt a little dry and was red, as if I had a slight sunburn. As the day wore on, it got redder, felt tight and itchy and started to burn. Wednesday morning my face is very red, tight and itchy. This is worse than the reaction I got with Proactiv, which I used three times. With Proactiv I ended up in emergency after my eyes started to swell shut. I would not recommend this product if you have sensitive skin. The combination of salicylic acid in the cleanser and toner with the benzoyl peroxide in the moisturizer is a deal breaker for me. I will be asking for a full refund ASAP.

Pros:

cleared my skin without irritating it

Cons:

u need to use the moisturizing gel from clinique after the 3 steps so it wont over dry your skin.

i really like this kit! i got the smaller travel sized kit and it came with the spot treatment gel and i got it at sephora for $29.00 which is good :) it had made a huge difference in my skin, it mad all my pimples go away after 2 days! i just hope it keeps working this well after time. so far i love it!

Pros:

Works well for mild-moderate acne

Cons:

Too harsh for sensitive/ post accutane skin

The three-step skin care works really well for mild to moderate acne but failed with me when my skin got severe. All of cliniques products work for sensitive skin and the moisturizer is oil-free and also fights the acne.

Pros:

Um..None

Cons:

Expensive
Doesnt Work
Have the shake the toner before each use

After using Proactiv Extra Strength for the past 5 years I noticed that my skin was becoming immune to it and I was breaking out more and more. I decided to try Clinque's Acne Solutions because I read some reviews on the Clinque site and it sounded like it could work. I was mistaken! My face got so much worse! I had 6-10 LARGE INFLAMED pimples around my nose and mouth. Then I got all my baby acne back. My forhead was covered in tiny whiteheads. I hadnt had those in years! After using for a month I decided to go back to Proactiv and WITHIN THREE days, my skin looked noticeablely better. I will never stray from Proactiv again!

Pros:

-Moisturizer was amazing!
-Cleared up my skin quickly for a few weeks

Cons:

-EXPENSIVE
-Didn't keep my skin clear for long

I found that the cleanser worked for a few weeks, and then my acne reappeared. I wouldn't waste your money on the entire kit, because as a whole, it won't help anymore than cheap drugstore products. That being said, Clinique moisturizer is wonderful!! I highly recommend spending the money on it and pairing it with inexpensive cleansers (like Proactiv!!).
