Pros:

Excellent fresh feeling after using the cleanser. Seems to prevent breakouts and keep reddness down.

Cons:

The moisturizer runs out faster than the cleanser and the toner.

Overall, Clinique makes really good quality products from what I can see. The Acne Solutions is no exception. It is good for those of us with oily skin as it seems to keep the oily spots under control throughout the day. Also, would be good for sensitive skin too.

Pros:

Makes the skin feel smooth and cleaner than ever before

Cons:

Smell but then you get used to it. Expensive too.

I have used this product religiously for 4 months now. My skin has never felt this good. Last year, I had a sudden series of breakouts, almost once every week. I used neutrogena which worked initially but then I got sensitive to it. Then I tried proactiv, which completely worsened my skin. After that I stopped using everything. My friend recommended Clinique acne solutions. At first, I was very skeptical. Once I started using it...everyday was a new day for my skin. The first 2 weeks my face went dry but then I used the superdefense combination oily moisturizer which really helped for the dryness. From then on my skin was smooth, well conditioned and healthy. Now I use all facial products from clinique. It's been a couple of months since I got any big, ugly acne. As long as you are not sensitive to this product, there is no reason why it won't work for you.

Pros:

Very refreshing
and I'll let you know more as I continue the use of the product

Cons:

No concerns yet,
I'll let you know if any come up

I am in grade 11 and I have had acne since the minute I stepped foot into highschool - I used many, many products and nothing seemed to work - I used the Clean and clear line for a very long time and it seemed to treat my acne but it did not help to prevent it - I wanted something that would do both - A few people reccomended Clinque so I booked an appointment with a specialist who worked there at the bay in a mall close to my house. She examined my skin and advised I used the Clinque Acne Line. This all happend today. I have washed my face twice already since - Once in the morning and once in the evening and so far - nothing wrong has happend - but I will keep you all updated becaues I know how it feels to have acne - it sucks - and if i find a product that helps me, i will make sure it finds its way into the hands of other people so that they can get the same help i did. Wish me luck. I'm just trying to stay positive and have faith that Clinque will clear up my skin.

Pros:

evens skin tone, controls oil, controls acne, leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed!

Cons:

havent experienced any yet!

I tried proactive, countless over-the-counter cleansers, and nothing ever worked! Then a friend recommended Clinique and so far, it has done a better job in just 4 days than any of the other products I used for months at a time!

Pros:

Clinique acne system worked great for me. As an athlete I have had pretty bad acne for about 3 years now. I recently tried clinique and it cleared acne around jaw, mouth and forehead. worked wonderful

Cons:

I use the Foam Cleanser, the bar of soap and toner and mosturizer everyday, and everything but the cleanser twice a day(as directed by assistants) made my face really really dry, checking with consultant today about it. i will give feedback

worked realy well, except dryness. i would highly recommend this to any athlete, the main thing the constultants told me was people who wear a foundation when wearing make up need to make sure to wash it off at night before you go to bed. **At night i used- 1. Foam Cleanser 2. Mild Bar of Clinique acne soap 3. Toner 4. Moisturizer **Morning i used- 1. Mild Bar of Clinique acne soap 2. Toner 3. Moisturizer

Pros:

The foam soap works well and so does the clarifying lotion

Cons:

The new moisturizer with benzoyl peroxide made my skin dry, flaky, itchy & red. I returned it for the regular Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel.

Clinique recently changed their Acne Solutions line to include benzoyl peroxide (instead of the Salicylic Acid they used to use). I preferred the old formulas on almost everything and am currently looking for a new brand to use. It's a shame because my skin is so acne prone and the now discontinued products worked perfectly for me. :(

Pros:

clearing my skin :)

Cons:

very expensive

ive just recently switched from proactiv to the clinique three step, and i have to say the difference for me is quite remarkable, the redness in my spots is nearly completely gone, my face already feels a lot smoother. All in all im glad i spent the extra money on this, especially if it keeps working the way it has been already. I also got a free mascara and 'take the day off' makeup remover. :)

Pros:

it really works well with acne, after a few days i could see my forehead clear up and most of my blackheads. I also have super dry skin and it is super gentle and doesnt dry me out.

Cons:

i still get few breakouts, its a little costly, but ts pretty much worth the price.

its good for acne and gentle on skin, i use it with the 7-day scrub cream and its great:]

Pros:

Reduces redness, skin feals clean, light acne scars are starting to fade, clears up acne!

Cons:

A bit expensive, makes skin a bit dry but I recommend using Clinique's dramatically different moisturizing GEL after using the three step system, it works very well!

It is well worth a try! Nothing has ever worked like this for me. My skin is no longer red and is free of acne. Sure I sometimes get one or two pimples but they are gone the next day. It is by far the best product I have ever used.
