Pros:

cleared acne after a couple of days.

Cons:

Dried out skin a lot and now it hurts to put lotion on face

use, but not everyday. or use everyday but only once a day. apply lots of lotion that isn't the one they give you in the three step system.buy the trial system not the full package, it's cheaper and it doesn't make you feel bad for spending as much,

Pros:

The new formulation works much better. Super soft skin. Only takes about 5 minutes start to finish. Purging has not been terrible. Skin is clearing.

Cons:

Does nothing for discoloration. It will dry you out if you use it everyday.

I used the older Clinique acne line and I was not pleased. When they launched the new line I was hesitant but I like everything else from them and I knew I could bring it back. The cleansing foam is not just a make-up remover like the old one. It leaves your skin feeling very soft. The clarifying lotion is very gentle and it has an oil absorbing powder in it so NO SHINE throughout the day which I think is a miracle. Then there is the clarifying moisturizer. I only use it at night or else it drys me out. I use the gel moisturizer by them during the day with Clinique clarifying foundation. There is a definite improvement in my skin even though I am still in the purging process. You can tell stuff is coming up and out but my skin is not unbearable.

Pros:

If you can get the right combination of products this is good. The bar soap is horrible. Stay away from it

Cons:

Stay away from toners 1-4 stick with the mild. It has no alcohol and a good ph.

My recommendation for anyone would be to use a makeup remover from the line, then the mild liquid soap, mild clarifying lotion, and the benzoyl peroxide gel or the evening treatment with salycic acid. Daytime sheild during the day.

Pros:

i have been dealing with mild acne on and off for about 3 years. i have tried everything including proactive,murad, and numerous other over the counter medications.i started using clinique a month ago and my skin is clear and blemish free.it's great.

Cons:

it is a bit pricey. i went into sephora and wound up spending $80.00 on clinique products. i bought the daytime shield lotion, cleanser,perfectly real makeup, and a brush. however, they work wonderfully together and my skin looks gorgeous.

the acne solutions line is the best treatment in my opinion but probably won't work for everyone. it is very gentle and doesn't dry my skin out. it is worth the money.
