Pros:

Really Works! Clears and softens skin.

Cons:

will leave skin dry, but can fix with other clinque products.

This stuff is FABULOUS!. I developed acne after having my first child at 23 and it got worse when I had my second at 25. I have tried Proactive, Dr. Murads, Nuetragena, and everything else the world offers. Like other I was skeptical, but the lady at Sephora said to try the 30 day and I could bring it back if I didnt like it. I am glad I did, because this is the clearest my skin has been in years. I did notice the drying so I stopped and talked with one of the reps at Dillards and she had me try the #2 lotion (its yellow). I use that everymorning under my makeup and only put it on my neck at night. She also told me about the acne spot treatment. You put a tiny dot on a Qtip and put it on any zits you feel are about to appear and it zaps 99% of them away. I was so happy with these I went and got the dark spot correcting serum for my scars and "historical acne" marks, this stuff is great too! I have been using that for the last 3 weeks and my husband asked me the other day what I was using, because I looked like the old me without any makeup on. Needless to say I am now a clinque girl! It has completely cleared my acne and my completion is smoothing out with the Even Better formula!. I recommend this to anyone with acne issue. Its definitely worth a try and most places will take it back if it doesnt work out for you.

Pros:

Amazing moisturizer
Toner makes your skin feel clean
Fast results

Cons:

Only works for a few months
Skin gets immune to it

Im 21 I've had acne since I was 14. I tried the 3 step system for combination skin wasn't expecting dramatic results but i was pleasantly surprised. It really worked. My skin used to have redness and pimples all over my cheeks and it cleared 80% of it. Theres a big problem though... The effect was only for 4 months after my skin just got used to it and my acne came back. It's worth trying but keep in mind that it will only temporarily control acne

Pros:

-It cleared my forehead, right cheek, and neck
- Made the blackheads in my nose minimize :)
- My face is not as oily
- more confidence

Cons:

- Left cheek still have 4-6 pimples( really small ones tho)
- The price in the long term

So i been suffering from acne for the past 7 years . I've used proactiv(waste of money), Murad(completely ruined my skin, i beilieve my acne got severe after murad 4 years ago.), exposed(its ait), a lot of over the counter products (none worked), many antibiotics, dan's regime, retin a, climandicin, ziana (complete ruin my skin as well 4 months ago). The only think that worked for me was the ratin a, bactrim, and clindamacin regime, it controled my acne for almost a year but stopped working :( Anyways I been using Clinique acne solution for 3 weeks now and it has def cleared me up. I think its a great product and u guys should give it a try. Im also taking bactrim once a day to help the clinique. My acne went from severe moderate to light moderate which is a huge improvement. I also use concha nascar bleach cream for my scars for one hour at night and it has helped me with my scars.. Overall clinique might be price but it might help your acne get it under control, try with an anti biotic for even better results. .Good luck and ill keep u guys posted :) oh And i use it day and night.. also use a different moisturizer during the day.. I use cera vu.. hope it keeps working..

Pros:

Cleared up skin

Cons:

Can't find any!

I had a really hard time with acne, and felt like I had tried everything! From Proactiv to home remedies, I just couldn't seem to find anything that worked. Once I started using Clinique, I saw a difference right away in both my acne, and the overall texture of my skin. While I sometimes still have one or two pimples that pop up once in a while, I just put some of my spot healing gel on it, and the zit is gone within a couple days. I will say, the price is not the most desirable...but once I started seeing results I really didn't care! I could not be happier with this product, I have been recommending it to all my friends and they have all seen results as well. Try it!! You will LOVE your skin!!

Pros:

Really Works!
Smells OK

Cons:

A little drying
Itchiness around my chin/neck

OK, so I have SUPER sensitive skin, and typically all acne medications burn me and leave dry welts. I have only used this for 2 days, but WOW over-night the first night was already a HUGE difference! Day 2, even more of a difference. So far I am really impressed. My chin/neck area is super itchy though so that is a neg. for me. I guess I need to avoid that area. I hope this holds up to the test for the next few weeks. Also note, so far I am only using it at night. I may even switch to every other night just to play it safe. But I would def. recommend trying this product so far!!

Pros:

clears acne, makes skin feel smooth and leaves you with a brighter more even complexion

Cons:

a bit drying

hands down, the best acne product i have ever used and will only use. I have tried so many products that made my skin clear within the first week and then from there it all went downhill. This product after the first week and beyond keeps your skin clear. My skin is sensitive so i only use at night, but that still gets the job done. I was so self-conscious about my face and borderline depressed, if anyone reads this and feels the same way i definitely encourage you to go buy this stuff right now. I saw an improvement within two days, crazy i know but it's the truth. Clinique is amazing, i cant possibly thank them enough!
