it works!
February 25, 2009

Pros:

The price of the starter kit is on par with other similar products, and if you purchase at Clinique Bonus time, free gifts are always thrown in. My skin is very oily, and it reduces oil in just one day. Everything is clearer within 2 days.

Cons:

I wish the starter kit lasted long than one month, but that's not really the product's fault.

The package says to use it in the morning and in the evening, and that's the best way. If you use more frequently, you'll get dry skin. Less frequently, and it might not work for you. Do not put the toner or the lotion near the eye area - dryness will occur, and they weren't really intended for that area anyway.

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:

this product works very well. from reading reviews before i tried it i was worried it would mess up my skin because usually things just never work out for me. but this product is amazing and works better than anything else ive ever tried.

Cons:

dry skin

great product.
August 21, 2007

Pros:

The product is easily attainable, and theres always an skin expert behind the counter! You can figure out exactly the products YOU need to best suit YOUR skin.

Cons:

With some people your skin will initially worsen, which causes some to discontinue use, however this is a normal skin reaction.... your skin has to get used to the product, and after a few days, your skin will be gorgous!

All of my life I've searched for a product that actually works on my acne....I've tried everything over the counter, proactive, acne free, just about the entire shelf at any drugstore, I even went to a dermatologist, and still didnt get the results that I have seen with Clinique's products! Nothing compares! The best part is, everything is allergy tested and fragrance free, so it's sooo safe to use! My dermatologist recommended me to use all of their makeup as well, and i could kiss her for it!!!! My skin is the best its ever been! I get compliments on how beautiful my skin is.....and everytime I tell them... All Thanks to Clinique!

Pros:

Better than other brands of Acne skin solutions. Left my skin feeling clean, fresh and smoother than it had been in a long, long time. Plus, my mom uses Clinique and even she knows that it is a trusted, classic brand that's been around for years.

Cons:

none.

Went to [link removed] and signed up for the Clinique Beauty Boot Camp. It was quick, painless and I knew I had nothing to loose by joining. I'm excited because they are offering one of the largest product giveaways ever including a tour of the teen vogue offices and a day spent hanging out with Emmy Rossum. I love her, shes sooo adorable. They are also giving away tons of free Clinique acne solutions product and I could definitely use some free products!

Pros:

Eveything about it! Started to use it for my super oily skin and moderate teen acne. My skin is now super soft and smooth.

Cons:

Nothing at all! (except the price but is worth every penny.)

Used it after I tried Netrogena and clean and clear which worked but not as much as Clinique 3-step acne system. My skin looks amazing and I use the TURNAROUND CONCENTRATE which is the best combination EVER! Recommed to any one!
May 11, 2008

Pros:

See my review of Proactiv-Clinique's skin care line is the only thing that has ever helped me, and I spent so much of my life miserable and uncomfortable b/c of huge cystic acne and huge oily pores. Their stuff actually works, even if you're lazy an

Cons:

None, really. I didn't like the emergency gel lotion, so I use the salicylic spot treatement instead. Which is also a good cleanser if you don't feel like washing your face at night (feels like you just had a facial afterwards.)

These are my skin problems-which are happily in check- Clinique helped me with: Oily Oily t-zone prone to black heads and horrific cystic acne and occassional nodules and milia. I use the entire pore minimizer line, and the t-zone treatment actually for once controls the oil and makes your skin feel supple and clean. Acne spot solutions and the post blemish formula. And the #2 3 step solutions. The DDMG actually moisturizes w/out making your skin feel oily and makes it feel velvety.

Pros:

MAKES MY SKIN SOFT AND NOT AS OILY AS IT USED TO BE

Cons:

I KIND OF WISH IT WAS ALL IN ONE....BUT 3 STEPS ISNT THAT BAD

I HAVE TRIED PROACTIVE, BENZACLIN, MURAD, DIFFERIN, ETC AND NOTHING WORKED LIKE THIS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ON IT THAT LONG BUT I SEE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE NO MORE BIG UGLY PIMPLES. JUST A FEW SMALL ONES.
January 11, 2008

Pros:

Extremely effective, would recommend to anyone suffering from acne!!

Cons:

The exfoliation level can be drying, just apply an oil free moisturizer on top and you will be fine!

I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on numerous acne systems. This is the one that has worked best for me and anyone I've recommended it to. It's funny how people say that they have used this for a year, seeing as how it has only been available for about 5 months. I would know, I work for Clinique.
