Pros:

This product has saved me tons of heartache in searching for another solution to my acne. I started using this product about two years ago and there is no looking back. I couldn't leave the house to run to the store without make-up before.

Cons:

It is a bit pricey, but now i just time it with clinique bonus time and it seems like a great treat.

My complexion is completly clear now and has been since i started using it. For those of you who had terrible outbreaks with it, it sounds ike maybe an allergic reaction, also it may take up to 6 weeks for your skin to cleanse itself and for the product to work its magic. I highly reccomed this to anyone having acne troubles. I had tried everything including Acutane which is really harsh and quite dangerous. I had struggled with acne since my teens and now i don't have to worry about it. My only wish is i'd found it sooner.

Pros:

Seems to brighten skin. Reduced break-outs, recudes the healing time acne. My skin is oily, so I don't find it drying like others. It's very nice, just remember to use it regularly.

Cons:

Kinda expensive, but it works. 70 CDN for the three step (full size) kit.

It's good, just know that it is a strong solution and it will take a few weeks for a true result.

Pros:

COMPLETELY got rid of acne within a week!!
Easy 3 step system, nice clean scent, good price
makes skin feel very clean

Cons:

All 3 steps caused slight drying, no big deal

I had moderate acne, mostly on my forehead and occasional pimples everywhere else. It said to use twice a day, which i did for a week. After a week, any acne was completely gone, including those annoying blackheads you get on your nose. At this point, I started to only use it once a day (before bed) just to maintain my results. I did experience some drying around my nose and mouth, but nothing too bad. PLEASE TRY THIS!

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:

It works well for me!

Cons:

A Lil Pricey

For being a 23 year old male and dealing with Acne since 18....Im seeing results!!! I've been using Clinique now for almost a week and i honestly am seeing results. From starting out years ago with Clearasil (sp?) etc then to Proactiv (which caused me to breakout even more) Dr. Murad, then on Minocyclene and then used Aveda (Outer Peace Acne Kit *caused me to break out in paupils which hurt*) then Dr. Wexler Acnescription (Which was good but then the moisturizer and peel caused me to sting everyother day I used it) and now using Clinique Im seeing results!! I use the 3 kit system but i bought the bigger bottles. I do the regimen as it says use the pump wash then the lotion exfoiliater, then a not even a pea size of the BP (in the morning cause I react to BP i get too dry) then i use the Moisture Surgeâ„¢ Extended Thirst Relief to help relieve my dryness and blot off the excess then use the acne solutions concealer stick to help minimize my blemishes etc.

Pros:

Immediately cleared up my acne, controls oil, made my skin like SILK! Still going strong after three months! I'm 46,w/ super oily skin, have tried it all, even dermatologists' stuff, have NEVER used anything better! My skin looks completely awesome!

Cons:

Zero!

If you have oily skin/acne, run to the store and buy this line! Worth every penny!!!

Pros:

This one actually works pretty well. Stay religious to it and it will work for you too(i.e. - 2 times a day). The mixture of benzoil peroxide and salycic acid works great.

Cons:

Face feels tight and dry after, but just use a small amount of moisturizer and you should be fine. Have slight spots that come up every so often, but no major breakouts.

I've tried proactive, murad and all kinds of bits and bobs of acne care. This one is the best of all of them that's why i'm writing this little message. I've never wanted to go to the dermatologist and never have; finding this product will keep me from going. Very happy with it.

Pros:

It leaves my skin feeling awesome...I love how smooth it is. I love Clinique products due to the allergy testing and fragrance free qualities.

Cons:

Initial flare up...but that happens with any skin care switch.

As long as you use the products twice a day and follow with an eye cream (Clinique All About Eyes) and a booster moisturizer (Clinique Super Defense) your skin will not dry out or become irritated. Any consultant will tell you that. Plus Super Defense promotes good wrinkle prevention.

Pros:

Skin is very clean. ns you see the left over dirst the most on step 2. Pimples do go way and it does prevent them.

Cons:

It will dry your skin unless you purchase their Dramtically Different Moisturizing Gel and apply it a a 4th step. :)

It is Awesome!!
