Pros:

It didn't iritate my skin and my skin cleared up within a couple of days

Cons:

None

I usually don't write reviews but I just had to write one on this product because it actually works. I use to have really bad acne. I've used Proactiv, Nature's Cure, AcneFree, Clean and Clear and so much more and none of them worked. But this product works fast and I haven't had a single zit since.

Pros:

Non-drying. Easy to use. Does not smell weird.

Cons:

Expensive and takes 3 months to fully work though I saw some results within days.

If you are patient, it does work. I use these products religiously twice a day everyday - no exceptions! Every month, around my ovulation and period, I get 1-2 almost pimples but they never fully materialize and they are gone within 2-3 days. I'm happy I stuck with this product. It's the first I found that works for me and I think it is because it combines salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Most lines are one or the other and that did not seem to work for me. Good luck on your quest to be acne free!

Pros:

clears up acne

Cons:

price, but worth it

This product is great for us! My 13 year old was prescribed Differin Gel from her dermatologist, her face broke out severely (IB), was swollen, burned and was red. Called dermatologist, he asked to reduce treatment to 3 times a week. Well, my daughter refused to put it on her face again, she was so depressed b/c of the way her face looked. I went out and purchased Clinique Acne Solutions 3 step system for her and honestly, within 3 days, her face was noticeable clearer. Here we are 2 weeks into it and there is a huge difference in her skin. The only thing I would recommed would be to purchase the Cleansing bar instead of the Foam cleaner, due to the soap will last longer. Also, you must use a moisturizer as it does dry out skin. These are small cons to us due to the results she has gotten.

Pros:

- Works fast
- Gentle
- Evens skin tone
- Clears redness
- Shrinks Pores

Cons:

- If you don't use all three steps it doesn't work

This product is by far the best I have ever used. It cleared my acne after years of trying different products. Not only does it clear my acne but it heals my skin so that I won't have such severe breakouts. I recommend this product to anyone who has stubborn acne that just won't seem to go away.

Pros:

-clears acne quickly
-helps control oil and shine
-reduces redness and blemishes
-evens out skin tone

Cons:

-dries out skin so extra moisturizing lotion is necessary

I used pro-active for years and wanted to try a new product to help control my acne. My acne is not terrible; however, since high school I've struggled with a reasonable amount of acne. I was a little apprehensive to try something new, since my skin had adjusted to pro-active. After trying several different brands and having no success, I opted for Clinique Acne Solutions. Within 3 days, my face had already cleared and I was receiving many compliments. I'm very happy with the way my face looks now and I will continue using Acne Solutions. The benzol peroxide in the moisturizer is a little drying, although I use Clinique Age Defernce after to keep my skin hydrated. Great product and I highly recommend to those of you who struggle with adult acne!
