Pros:

The 3 step and the makeup line are amazing. I have never found anything that compares!..

Cons:

This product is well worth the price but I can't afford it all the time so when I run out, I get frustrated because my skin goes right back and I break out..

It works!! I am turning 30 next week and unfortunately it seems as though my acne has only gotten worse over the years. I have tried meds from dr's, birth control, proactive, murad and everything you can imagine from the grocery store and drug store. Nothing else works to get rid of the large bumps and redness like this does and it doesnt feel greasy. That is a big thing for me. Everything else feels gross on my skin.This totally evens everything out and my skin is smoother When I use these products I gain some confidence back. I dont have to be so worried when I go out to the store or if I am walking around the house on the weekend with no makeup! The make up (corrector stick is awesome!) covers any sort of redness and dries up break outs in one or two days. Now if I could only get a truck load of this stuff sent to my house I would use it forever. It is the only thing I am asking for for Christmas and my birthday. :)

Pros:

i feel my face clean, fresh, old marks from acne (red) are dissapering

Cons:

i live in a hot island with almost every day we have hot temperature ,the moist. cream is a little too irritate for me to use it at day so i use the moisturizer gel from clinique and at night the acne moist.

Since i was 12 i have acne, i went to a dermatologist and help me very well with my problem. I start using clinique products almost 4 years ago and they work well on me. But at this last 2 years im in so much stress so my acne come back badly(now im 24). At january i decide to go to the dermatologist again but the lotion she recommend me didnt work and my acne was worst so i discontinue that product, it was a waste of money :-S so i decide to start a research in the internet to view some reviews from different brands and i find this site and read too many good reviews so i decide to purchase it. The first time i use the products i feel my face so clean and fresh, the next day almost every pimple and marks starts to dissapear, my mom notice that and she didn't knew i was using this product for my acne. Today is almost 5 days of using this products and my old marks from my acne of months are almost gone, the old scars from my acne(5 or 6 yrs ago) are so much better. I feel confident :-D

Pros:

fragrance free, works on acne.
not harsh, doesnt dry out the skin.

Cons:

umm...still get one breakout

my skin didnt totally clear up, but on the most it did. My scars also have faded. It does work if you have moderate acne dont know about severe...cause i have moderate acne. But the thing with this is that it didnt work for my cystic acne, i needed a prescription for that ...but on the whole it did work! :D

Pros:

I've been using hte clinique 3-step program for 2 years and just recently switched to the acne solutions kind. I switched 3 days ago and I have yet to see a new pimple sprout up since starting. My skin also feels super soft!

Cons:

The Step-3 lotion can be drying so I recommend using the dramatically different GEL on top on any dry/tight areas

It works! People also think Clinique is so expensive but really is isn't when you consider how well it work and how long it lasts!!! I bought a $15 bar of the face soap and I've had it for over two years...and I use it twice a day! Right now you can get all three steps of the acne solutions in a kit for $42 which I think is completely reasonable. Clean and Clear and all that kind of stuff may be less expensive but it doesn't last and long and it isn't as effective.

Pros:

My skin feels very clean and fresh after I wash.

Cons:

Not cleared up yet.

I feel like I have to stay loyal to this product for more time. So far it has been a little over a month and I feel like my skin in purging itself. Is that possible?

Pros:

After only one day using the three step program my face reduced in redness, pimples were starting to dry, and my skin was smooth and soft. After using the three step program for a while, my skin tone started to even out and pimples started to fade.

Cons:

The clarifying lotion stings when applying it, however that happens with all acne products.

Overall, a GREAT product. Even though you have to spend more money on it than when you buy something like clean and clear, the three step program doensn't disappoint.

Pros:

Easy to use, great toner, soothing cleanser

Cons:

None really, flaky skin is to be expected

After experimenting I have created my own regimen that works for me. I scrub (very lightly) with St. Ive's every evening because I have very thick oil that mixes with my makeup and ew... Then I use the 3-step program. The cleanser is mentholated and feels soothing. The toner takes some getting used to because it burns and will make your skin flake after a couple of days. I switched out the 3rd step (moisturizing part) for bio-oil. I do this every morning and night. I do it before breakfast to let the oil absorb, then I put my makeup on. After initially breaking out my skin is much much much much better. I also had swollen, red, sensitive patches on my face which the bio-oil took care of. I love you bio-oil. St. I'ves is probably horrible, but I've been addicted for years, so... Hope you all find something that works for you!!!!!!!! *mUaH*
