Pros:

Fast results, very easy to use.

Cons:

Smells a little like paint & the moisterizer makes skin feels dry.

I have very mild acne. I am 24, I have had cleared skin all throughout my like until about 5 months ago. I guess stress just took a toll on me. My friend recommended the 3 step system from clinique, so I went out & tried it. The lady at the counter said I should get the regular kind considering I don't have full blown acne. It worked well the fist 2 weeks but then I would breakout with 1 to 5 pimple a week. So I just purchased the acne 3 step system starter kit & so far I can see a tremendous change. Yes, it does make my face dry & stings just a little bit (because my skin is very sensitive) but not as bad a proctive did. For the dryness I would use the moisterizer for dry skin. & Afterwards I would use the spot treatment & then the acne treated concealer. Right now it's working wonderfully for me!

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:

great!! clears everything, wakes you up in the morning, skin feels softer and smoother, smaller pores, less oil

Cons:

it kinda smells like wet paint.

It's amazing. I have used this product for around 4 or 5 months now, and my skin has NEVER looked better. It clears everything, removes all oil and makeup, and it's even gentle around the delicate eye area. It's a tad on the pricy side, but seeing as i pretty much swear by everything clinique, i was expecting that. I first got this product by winning it through the clinique beauty boot camp giveaway. And within the SECOND week i began to see noticible results, by the end of the first month, my skin was flawless. I've found that this prouduct works best when you start with the clinique rinse off foaming cleanser to remove excess makeup ($17.50 5 fl. oz.) then use TWO pumps of foam on a WARM damp washcloth. PAT dry. Then follow with a generous amount of clarifying lotion, followed by lots of the moisturizing cream. then, i like to follow with the clinique dramatically different moisturizer($23 4.2oz)and all about eyes rich($27.50 .5 oz)This combined gives the BEST results I've ever

Pros:

Very easy to use~~

Cons:

Might be a few flaws with the system...

I am just 16 and I heard about the Clinique 3 Step System.. I have quite oily acne skin and I tried the Clinique 3 Step (Oily Formula) and right now, I have to say that my acne isn't really going away...But I have only used it only for about a week or so...So I would have to wait alittle more to see full results...But I have to say that I am hoping :) But my skin always feels good and smooth after use of the 3 Step System.

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:

This product has dramatically cleared up my face. It has even almost completely gotten rid of all the black heads on my nose. I can't wait to look in the mirror and use it everyday and see the progress. I've tried many things and this is the best.

Cons:

It really dries out your skin and makes it sting, but its worth it. During the day I use hydrating cream instead of the BP lotion that comes with the kit. It makes my skin look and feel great during the day. At night I use the entire 3 steps.

This product works.

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:

*Cleared skin some what
*Got rid of razor burn!! (the alcohol in the toner)

Cons:

*Made skin flake and dry
*Kinda pricey

Being a 20 year old male trying to get rid of off and on acne, i new many people who had clinique, so i got the acne package the starter kit for 40 bucks, i only use it for a week and a half and i know thats not enough time it did kinda work having breakouts on my jawline and from shaving but my skin started peeling and i think there was too drying between the toner and the foam wash the bp lotion is awesome thow!!! it goes on so much nicer than any other bp lotion i have ever tried BP is really the way to go it can be really drying as well thow I had read reviews on line about there mild toner which has no alcohol and there mild face liquid face wash thats really gentle. I'm using those with the BP for now will repost to let you know. **1 1/2 weeks use ace getting better but still breaking out, way less flakiness thow and hardly any irritation!

Pros:

Effectively clears up skin with continuous use. When I started I had noticed a difference within a few days. Results to more even skin tone and surface, superior oil control.

Cons:

Again this is not a cure, still get some small spots but they go away quickly. Skin can feel a little dry, especailly in winter months.

As a student it is expensive but they recently started a package which is cost effective. I fully recommend this line to anyone who has not had sucess with other products. I've used Garnier, Proactiv, and perscriptions yet this product has proven, for me, to be the most effective.
