Pros:

Less acne break out, smoother brighter skin.

Cons:

Stinky fragrance, face feels a bit tight afterwards, does not treat acne scars.

I was skeptical after a week with no results at all, ready to quit. Meet up with the rep that sold me the products last week and discussed that acne not clearing up and was asked how much water do I drink per day. Suggested that I increase my water intake to help the skin. So--its 18 days since I started using this product and I am happy with the results thus far. Drinking more water has helped, and acne has tremendously reduced. I also was given a sample of toner that is specifically for clearing acne scars. Just wish it didn't stink. Overall--I'm not ready to give up on Clinique just yet.

Pros:

I've only been using clinique acne solutions for a week, and I love it. I love the way the product gives your face a clean feeling. The smell is great too. I also have used the spot treatment which is amazing.

Cons:

It leaves my face a little dry so I make sure to use a good moisturizer.

I've tried proactive, murad, and countless over the counter products. Proactive dried the heck out of my face. Murad gave me cysts that were painful and left scars. Clinique makes my face feel good. I also love their oil free make-up products. =]

Pros:

maintains cleared acne

Cons:

severe drying around mouth and along jawline
a little pricey

I have tried so many different acne products (Neutrogena, Clearasil, Differin, Duac, Biore, AcneFree, etc.). I am 19 and nothing has worked. I thought I would try Clinique because I am pretty desperate. After a week, my acne has worsened a little, but according to the experts, that is because the medicine is taking different things out of the skin. Step 1 (foaming face wash) smells chemically harsh, but it is light and soft. Step 2 (clarifying lotion) stings a little and sometimes burns, but it is an exfoliator, so I guess that makes sense. It is also a little drying. Step 3 (Clearing moisturizer) is very drying, which bothers me. It is a moisturizer after all. I am still optimistic because it does take time (up to 4 weeks) to see the best results. *crosses fingers*

Pros:

Is the only thing that keeps my skin clear at all times. I only use the cleanser and the moisturizer.

Cons:

With the new formulation from last spring it has bleached my eyebrows red and then on to blonde. I have dark hair and olive skin, so it is pretty obvious. I went to the makeup counter and the recommendation was to put sunscreen on my eyebrows!!

Still trying to use it but am really avoiding my hairline and eyebrowns. Need to find something else that works as well

Pros:

It reduced the redness and size of my acne within three days.

Cons:

It's expensive and can dry your skin out if not careful.

This product is pretty expensive for us normal people, but it does work fairly well. If you don't use moisturizer, it WILL dry your skin out a lot. Also, I put it a little too close to my eyes and woke up the next morning with eyes swollen to the size of my fist. Be careful with this product and it can work.

Pros:

less inflamation and softer skin.

Cons:

soap was too soft, hard to contain, and it didn't control my acne at all.

it would probably work fine for people with less acne.

Pros:

Reduced redness in just one night!

Cons:

I have not been using this product very long, so I will have to re-submit a review when I know more about my results

During high school I didn't have many breakouts. When I entered my 20's, the frequency of my breakouts increased a lot. I used ProActiv for a while but it stopped working after 6 months or so, then I tried several over the counter products, but they just didn't seem to work- finally I went to my dermatologist and he recommended Differin*. I used Differin* for 3.5 months, hoping it would work, and although it cleared up the larger cyst acne on my chin- it made my skin very irritated and red... so one day I decided to go to Clinique* (several of my friends use it and like so I thought, why not?) The lady at the counter noticed how irritated and dry my skin was, and gave me a sample of their Redness Reducer and Intense Moister Therapy. The next morning, almost all the redness had been reduced!! There were still some smaller blemishes, but the irritation has disappeared! Now she is working with me on a day by day level to help me find the right 3-step solution... Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Makes skin smooth and refreshing, less red and clears breakouts fast! It smells pretty good, too!

Cons:

Of coures, the price. But honestly if it makes your skin clear then it's worth it! Other than that: NONE!! :)

I just bought this kit yeserday and I already notice results! My skin is smooth and less oily and way less red than a few days ago. My zits are smaller and less inflammed. I just have to say: this product is not for all skin types. Find out what skin type you have, then do a little research on medication that is right for your skin type. Otherwise I would highly recomend this product to anyone that thought all hope was lost! Don't give up!!
