Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Only worked for a short period of time

I had high hopes for this product as I really like most Clinique items. Unfortunately this was not the case. It seemed to clear up some of my acne for a while, but now has come back worse than before.

Pros:

Works Quickly

Cons:

Dries Skin Out

Clinique Acne Solutions works amazing, but it definitely dries skin out. I spoke to a woman at the Clinique counter at Macy's and she told me to replace Step 3 (Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer) with Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion. But this is only recommended for people who get moderate breakouts. I only break out when I have midterms and finals or when I have my period. Other than that, I'm likely to have about one teeny-tiny pimple. Other than that, I say wait out the "drying-period" and after about a couple of months, Acne Solutions stops drying out your skin as much. Make sure you put on plently of SPF, because Acne Solutions makes it more likely for you to get a sun or wind burn.

Pros:

Begins working quick.
100% Money back guarantee.

Cons:

Slightly dries skin.
Smells ... different?

So, i have tried several acne products, including proactiv, murad, acnefree, artistry, and the list goes on. But, I have never used a product that produces results so quick. After the first day, there was a significant reduction in redness, inflammation, and oil production. However, after the second week, it seems like the results have plateaued; my skin has stopped clearing up. In fact, i'm beginning to see new pimples in places I haven't ever gotten pimples before. The consultant at Macy's told me that I might break out more before my skin completely clears up. I was debating on whether or not I should return it, but after calling the consultant, she convinced me to give it a month or two. Hopefully, it will work out like she said it would. I'm going to give it a chance, hoping it will work the way it initially did!

Pros:

helps my acne

Cons:

too expensive

i only bought the moisturizer because it is the only thing contains benzoyl peroxide. and i have to say it works for me even though i use very small amount. it works slowly so you have to give it time. i would definitely repurchase it since it works. one thing bad about it is the price. the moisturizer which is the only thing work for me costs $$17. too expensive and the i think it's only 2 oz. i may buy dan's treatment since i know benzoyl peroxide works for me. give it a try and take some time. oh another thing is once you use this you cannot quit it, because once you quit, you acne comes back!

Pros:

Made the pores on my nose slightly smaller.

Cons:

Made everything else ten times worse!

This stuff really did a number on my skin. When I ordered it, I was having a particularly bad stress and hormone related break out, but by the time it arrived in the mail, I only had 3 very small pimples left. I had read so many rave reviews about it, that I decided to try it anyway, hoping that it would at least keep my breakouts to a minimum. Boy was I wrong! The morning after I first used it, my three small pimples were almost gone, however; in a few days, I broke out in horrible cysts all over my cheeks, chin, jaw, neck, and even forehead (FYI, I have NEVER, in my entire life, had a cyst on my forehead. NEVER!). Some of the reviews have said not to give up on it, as you may breakout worse at first, and so I planned to keep using it for a month, but I just washed my makeup off and found three more shiny new cysts. In the one week that I have been using this kit, I have developed more than 10 brand new cysts! This is the worst my skin has been, maybe ever, at least since I was a teenager. Enough is enough! I will definitely be sending it back!

When I first started using this product I stared clearing up my acne pretty quick , which I thought was great but after using for a few more days it started drying up my face really bad ,and to top it off I started breaking out more . Like I constantly got breakouts . So I just decided to stop using it and now am going to give proactiv a try let's see how that works

Pros:

Makes your completion evenly tonned

Cons:

expensive
dries out skin

I never had huge problems with my skin untill i started working at a pizzeria. I worked there for 9 months and by the end of it, my skin looked horrible. It was red, blotchy and I had little pimples and huge systic ance all over my cheeks. I always had used proactive but it stopped working for me so I tried Clean and clear advantage, facial scrubs, Acne Free, I've tried Zap it, every facial cream you can imagine, i've even tried baking soda and lemon juice on my pimples. Nothing worked, and all the washing left my skin extreemly red and blotchy. I went to the bon ton to check out clinique and the sales lady told me it would work for me, she said that at first my skin would get worse but after about a month it would get beter. I have been using clinique for 2 1/2 months now, I bought the mask, the little gel for hard to get rid of zits, and all the makeup that would "Help". For the first two weeks my skin was clearing up nice. Then, All of a sudden I had huge break outs for the next 3 weeks. It was so bad when I smiled my facehurt and I was so ashamed that I sat in my room for a week taking benadril and sleeping, watching TV, and washing my face. I had at least 5 huge systic acne pimples n each cheek, by my chin and all over my forhead. Now, I still keep getting pimple after pimple and now I have scars all down both sides of my face. I keep waking up in the morning hoping that clinique will start to help, but I've come to the conclusion it won't. This product was a waste of my time and money, and an extreem disapointment. The only thing it did for me was make my skin less blotchy, but I'd rather have blotchy skin then red scars all over my cheeks. It also left my skin extreemly dry, and now when i put on cover up all you can see is skin flaking which looks worse with my acne. I hate clinique, it ruined my skin. Be careful using this!

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..
