Pros:

Works wonders for the first 2 weeks
Easy to use
Doesn't burn/peel/dry out skin

Cons:

After 2 weeks it stopped working and I am back where I started
The lotion is very irritating when you have any inflammation
Costly

It does work but it doesn't last unfortunatly, I am waiting till it runs out then moving on to a new product.

Pros:

Not too pricey (compared to Proactiv and some of the more recognized products)
Long-lasting
Makes skin feel fresh

Cons:

Doesn't wash off makeup

I bought Clinique because it was recommended by several friends who also have acne. I am using several things and it has only been ONE week and I have noticed improvements in my skin overall. If I am wearing make-up: Remove it with Cetaphil Use the three step system Moisturize with Ponds Clarant B (redness remover) I am also taking DIM supplements because I already know my acne is due to imbalanced hormones (tested by my doc) and I didn't want to take birth control so I tried some natural alternatives to balance the hormones. It could be a combination of everything but my face does feel healthier and although I broke out slightly in the first couple of days, everything looks like it's healing and I don't have new breakouts. Clinique doesn't smell fancy, but hey- it's medicine. My skin is pretty tough so it doesn't burn at all for me, but it is drying so I always use a moisturizer after. Also- after a week's use, it looks like I barely put a dent into the amount, so I think this will easily last me two months if not more.

Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Totally ruined my skin. Before I used this I had about 5 pimples. When I stopped (3 days later), my whole forehead was covered in them, I had a cyst/nodule on my chin and cheek which I have NEVER had before using this. The only way I was able to get rid of the nodules was by using drawing salve to draw out the infection. It's now been 6 months since I stopped using it and I'm just now getting rid of the white bumps it left all over my cheeks.

It may work for some people, but it without a doubt made my skin worse than it's been in my life. Be careful with this.

Pros:

Works well, cleared up a lot of my pimples (mainly on my forehead area)
Makes your skin feel fresh
I like the tight feeling when you use it lol

Cons:

Um still some pimples but much much less and its hardly noticable.
The toner burns a little bit on pimples (especially if you pick your skin)

Good product, I definitly would recommend it. Goes well with the anti-blemish foundation they have to. To get good results use it twice a day (as recommended) I use it once a day coz I'm lazy... but i still get good results. :) Mine was only really expensive because Australia is silly and everything costs a lot for some reason..

Pros:

Fresh face
Reduced redness for a bit
Dried out zits

Cons:

Broke out
Dry, flaky skin
Didn't get rid of red spots after zits

I WOULDN'T recommend this product for anyone with sensitive skin. This may work for people who have skin that can tolerate the ingredients of the Clinique Acne Solutions; however, I have a very sensitive face, and the products made my skin worse than before I started the regimen. My face became very irritated and stressed out from the products and I am currently recovering from the harsh week.

Pros:

Controls oil
Clears acne fast
Reduces redness
Skin feels clean

Cons:

A bit drying
Clarifying lotion smells a bit strong

I love this product. Worth every penny, I bought the foaming cleanser and clarifying toner and use the dramatically different moisturizing lotion in stead of the acne solutions lotion. Ive been suffering from acne for years and finally found a solution!

Pros:

nothing much

Cons:

clinique is not a company that should be in acne care

Clinique sort of portrays themselves as a company that caters to the middle age working woman who still wants a little color. Look at their makeup - it's all very neutral and packaged very un-trendy. Acne is mainly a problem for teens and 20 somethings so either they are marketing this towards older people with acne, or they are out of touch with younger people's skin. I know people with good skin that have used their products and found that it was too heavy or broke them out.

Pros:

Cleared my stubborn acne in about 2 weeks!!
Leaves skin soft
Controls Oil

Cons:

Slightly pricey
Drying at first

Amazing!! I'm sooo happy with this product. At first i was hesitant because I have tried proactiv, countless perscriptions, and every other acne kit out there so as a last resort when trying to cure acne given to me by Bare Minerals foundation I decided to give this a shot. The first few days I used this it dried out my skin and burned when I used it so I was ready to give up but about 4-5 days of continued use my skin became very soft and I started to notice a big difference (and so did my family!), now its only been 2 weeks but so far it's working amazingly, i'd highly reccomend it.

Pros:

Clears up redness
Big acne improvement
Clean, Fresh feeling after washing
Soft skin
Blackheads shrinking :)

Cons:

I was stupid and used the drying out moisturizer all over my face... It dried every inch of my face out and caused it to become flaky. Just use the moisturizer, a pea size amount, on trouble areas. Otherwise, I used another lotion on my face.

I use to only get one zit per month, but lately I have been getting 2-3 per week. I was so depressed because of it and I thought I was ugly. I know now that I was stupid and shouldn't let skin problems run my life like that. This clinique face care gave me confidence because my face cleared up quickly. It has only been a week, but even so, my face has changed for the better. Now all I need is to find a great moisturizer.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This stuff just smelled awful and dried out my skin . It really did nothing for my acne!

Well all i can say is that I'm disappointed in Clinique. I was so down in the dumps about my acne and i spent A LOT of money on all of this for nothing . I really used it all unti it was finished, I gave it a good 2 months chance with no result at all .It smelled bad too ... soooo bad. I could have bought a bar of dove soap (would have smelled way better) and expected it to clear my face. I guess thinking something is better just because its expensive was not true in this case.
