Pros:

•It does clear up SOME acne in the first week.
•It's all in smaller sized bottles so it is easy to carry places.
•It is a great thing to buy if you are just going to try it because you spend LESS money than buying each of the items separately.
•If you get a blemish on your skin and it pops up it usually takes the blemish about a day or two to go away. (That is way faster than any other product I have Used.
•It doesn't make my skin red or irritated like other products.

Cons:

•It doesn't really help with stress acne.
•The Moisturizer comes out way too fast so every time I go to moisturize I always end up using too much.
•The cleanser doesn't take off all of your make up so I have to use use another product by clinique to get my make off.
•You have to use more off the cleanser then recommended.

I have only been using this product for about a week. I love it all. But it does not seem to help stress blemishes... It has cleared up the dried up acne that I have had on my forehead for about a year, now almost all of that is gone. I have only been using this for a short time so I will give it a while longer and then review it again. I would recommend this to anyone!

Pros:

Definitely keeps my acne under control (note: don't expect perfectly clear skin with this product, but all my friends keep commenting on how much nicer my skin is these days!)

Cons:

Skin gets red immediately after use; moisturizer stains clothing/towels so be careful.

This product does wonders for my skin (but ONLY when used in conjunction with birth control). For some reason, only being on birth control or only using the product do not help (yes, I've tried doing both for at least 3 months each). Using the pill and Clinique together give me the best results. It's expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. Also be sure to be consistent with use; use all three steps twice a day or else you may get a flare up. Also, you shouldn't expect drastic improvement with any acne product for at least 8 weeks (which is how long it takes a pimple to form under your skin). I've noticed a lot of people put up product reviews after only using a product a week or a few days. Be realistic; this won't happen overnight.

Pros:

cleared up my skin quickly & has kept it clear. tone is improved, shine is deminished, & the post blemish treatment fades red marks in no time. the spray for body is effective as well.

Cons:

dries out your skin if you use it more than the twice a day recommendation. the foam cleanser doesn't remove stubborn dirt or make up.

I work on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier & even though I'm careful not to touch my face, it accumulates a film of grease & dirt. I do have to use a baby wipe to remove the worst of the dirt, but Clinique Acne Solutions keeps my skin glowing & clear through the longest, dirtiest, deployment.

Pros:

Smooths Skin, Nice Packaging, Foaming Cleanser Feels Clean, Reduces Redness and Prevents Inflamation

Cons:

None

I bought this product a week ago, (only the cleanser), and I started noticing results immediately! My skin is 100 x's smoother, softer, and clearer. My "stubborn" pimples are almost completely gone. And it's only been one week! Amazing product. The Clinique representative that sold me the product gave me a sample of the moisturizer. I've been using my own astringent with these products. For those of you who say the three-step makes your skin too tight, try using the Biore brand astringent. It literally refreshes your skin, while letting your pores breathe. Amazing results, guaranteed. =) PS- I use the cleanser, toner, and moisturizer in the morning, and only the cleanser at night. Hope it works for you!

Pros:

My skin looks rejuvenated. I would dare to say I breakout 1/10 (at least) as much as I used to. Even my scars are fading.

Cons:

Extremely drying. I suggest adding 'Clinque Moisture Surgeâ„¢ Extended Thirst Relief' to your routine, but only when absolutely necessary.

I have been battling with acne (cysts, blackheads, whiteheads...) for almost 10 years exactly and this product (so far!) works amazingly. I am still getting the odd 'new comer' but for the most part, it's working!!!

confused
i started using this 3 days ago and i don't know what to think about it. it's getting the pimples that i wanted to go away, to go away but i'm also getting a few other pimples? is this supposed to happen. i'm gonna keep on using this till it's finished just to see if it actually does work. update: did not work as good as i thought it would. it made the pimples on my forehead that i wanted to go away, go away but other than that it made me break out more on other spots. Right now i am using Cetaphil facial wash and Witch Hazel and let me tell you those 2 things are tha bomb. com lol. it's a whole lot cheaper than this product tho.

It was my savior until
I started Clinique when I was a broke 14 year old whose face was an oily sheen dotted with yellow bumps and her pulled fully back into a pony tail showing my mess of a face for all to see. It started as a gift- the set which lasted me about 3 months and boy were those months the best. My face was less oily and less covered in this yellow dots. But then I finished it and I didn't have the money for it. 3 years by and I had enough money to cover Clinique for the next 3 years- there was improvements, not the greatest, but improvements nonetheless. Eventually I decided to drop because the price was so expensive and my skin had become accustomed- it was like throwing money into the drain basically. Overall, it really helped my mild/mod acne during my HS/College years.

Crappy
I have hormonal acne that isn't SEVERE but it's pretty bad, and I started using Clinique about a year ago and I purchased the Acne Solutions line as well as foundation and powder. I was using nothing but Clinique on my face. Face wash, toner, mosterizer, foundation and powder. I will say that it did clear my skin for about a good 3 months, however after that it went right back to how it was before if not worse. I continued to use all of the products in hopes that it was just a phase and I think my body just got to immune to it and stopped working. I have always wanted to try all natural products so now I am using African Black Soap, as well as a moisturizer that is natural. It seems to be working well and clearing my acne slowly but surely. I still use the foundation and powder from Cliniqu because its fragrance free, however I will probably find something new once my face clears. It's too pricy and I have the makeup specifically for oily skin, and my face is still super oily. I wouldn't waste money on this.

Made acne 10times worse!
I used this product about 3 or so months ago. I had high hopes, thinking you get what you pay for so this must be good. I got the trail kit and was so excited to get home and try it. After the first day of use I didn't notice much except that my skin dried out a bit.. By day 3 my skin was so dry and I had developed cystic acne all over my cheeks and chin! It was way worse than when I began! And not only that but my skin was soo dry and raw! Makeup made it look worse, I didn't want to go to work because my face was so bad. So my advice is save your money and don't waste your time on this product.. I am still recovering from it.

Do not use this product if you have Acne.
I purchased the large 3 step products and the clay mask. I had finally got my acne looking better after my holiday and not wearing make up for 4 weeks. After one week of using these products my skin is the worst its been in months! I am so upset. I have breakouts all over my chin, raised lumps all over my forhead and cystic acne all up my cheeks. My skin is more oily than before i started this. Absolutely gutted as they recommend this for me. I have stopped the range bit know that it will now take a long time to get my skin back to normal! Very unhappy!
