Pros:

I have tried it all - Proactiv, Murad, Clearasil, and Purpose and was not satisfied with any. Clinique worked right from the start. I did not purchase the "step 2" clarifying lotion, as it contains alchohol. Just use Step 1 and Step 3!!!!

Cons:

No cons. The scent is mild and contains no fragrance additives. It lathers, but is not creamy like Clearasil Ultra. The moisturizing lotion (step 3) goes on light. Purchase the oil free sun screen and you'll be all set.

I do not have bad acne, but do experience the periodic big breakout and the "in betweens". I would consider myself to have oily skin. I am male (34 years of age). You can purchase at any department store or order from [link removed]. On a side note, I supplement with the Proactiv Refining Mask - use it periodically at night (just leave it on, do not rinse).

Pros:

this stuff is so amazing. i just got it on sunday and already i see a HUGE different in my face. my acne is almost gone and it makes my face feel really soft. ive tried a whole bunch of stuff but this actually worked.

Cons:

don't really like the smell and the clarifying lotion burns..only for a sec though.. so i can deal with it. also pretty expensive. but its well worth it

just try it..even though half the reviews on here are bad doesnt mean its not gona work for you. i was sketchy about this stuff but im glad i bought it. its the best acne treatment ive ever used.

Pros:

It didn't iritate my skin and my skin cleared up within a couple of days

Cons:

None

I usually don't write reviews but I just had to write one on this product because it actually works. I use to have really bad acne. I've used Proactiv, Nature's Cure, AcneFree, Clean and Clear and so much more and none of them worked. But this product works fast and I haven't had a single zit since.

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:

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:

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!
