Clinique : Acne Solutions Cleansing Bar

As a 35 year old woman, I have tried many acne products, This is the best one that I have ever used. I was starting to break out on very bad on my neck and chest after being in the sun or working out. This soap works great! So great, that I just had to write a review (my first review ever!)

It works really well. It cleans out the skin without over-drying it or causing irritation. After I wash my face with this bar, my pores become visibly smaller. It is suitable for all climates all year-round. No need to change it because it's very humid in the summer. :-) Your skin will become dry if you don't follow it with a moisturizer, I've been using Clinique's "Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel." I started out with moderate acne throughout the month and now I have very light acne (about 3 zits per month) during the week before my period ONLY! Another advantage of this product is that it lasts forever! I have been using the same bar for 6 months now and it'll probably last another 4 months.

Pros- o Works amazingly o Better then the foaming cleanser o Cheeper then the foaming cleanser o Lasts forever ( at least 6 months or more ) Cons- o A little drying without a moisturiser I have been on the Clinique 3 step treatment since July 2013. All I can say is the cleanser and toner is absolutely amazing but the moisturiser treatment is really a disappointment. It made my skin more oily and worse. I stopped using that after two weeks and started using the dramatically different moisturising gel. It works perfectly and helped clear my acne in a week. I then started using the soap bar only a few weeks ago as I released that the foaming cleanser was a lot more expensive and I went through it in just over a month. This soap Bar lasts forever. Im so happy. It does dry out your skin a little if you don't use moisturiser but thats what its designed to do. Its made my skin better. I don't really have breakouts anymore only one or to on my chin area monthly. I honestly have never been so happy with a product. I recommend this product ( as well as the toner and dramatically different moisturising gel ) to anyone suffering from acne. THANK YOU CLINIQUE!

I've tried others, I ALWAYS wind up coming back to this. It consistently keeps my acne to a minimum without backfiring and causing more acne a week or so later, it just keeps working. It's actually milder than their "mild" bar, which is good, because that bar can be a little too drying. I recently started using a Clarisonic and chose to use this as my cleanser choice. The Clarisonic can drive your cleanser deeper into your pores and this one I trusted not to cause any clogging. I can also use this occasionally on my back and shoulders with a back brush and it keeps my skin looking healthy, clear and polished. I really love this soap. I highly recommend it.

Tried Cetaphil and it did NOT stop the breakouts. My skin must be addicted to this bar. Have used it for 3 years and will continue to keep breakouts at bay!

i used this as part of a 3 step program, and i felt and saw the difference after the first use. i hate to sound like an add but its true.I have been on the pill for 7 years for acne and wanted to come off it, but my skin flaired up, and didnt get any better over the next few months. the lady at the clinique counter gave a sample of the 3 step acne solutions program to try, as i was sceptical and didnt want to pay the money and risk it not working. it worked so well, my acne began to dry up and the redness reduced after the first use, and it just keeps getting better. it didnt dry the rest of my skin out at all, it felt soft and smooth, and my friends noticed the differnce after day 2. i cannot rave highy enough over this product! i would reccomend this to any one.
