Pros:

Acne goes away fast :]

Cons:

I don't really see cons but there is a little of dryness

Some people doesn't read the directions, so they say that their eye lids or eyes are on fire or something;.. You are suppose to avoid the eyes area when applying this product. This product is good for the people who have acnes :]

Pros:

takes care of acne quickly, skin feels smoother, easy to use

Cons:

a little bit drying

Regardless of it's drying effect, the acne system does do what it says, which is to get rid of your acne. I have smoother skin, and everything. I have used Proactiv in the past as well as Neutrogena and Clean and Clear but nothing else has worked for me like Clinique.

Pros:

Every step of the system feels light, and it's easy to follow.

Cons:

Had to add an extra moisturizer some nights.

I have light/moderate acne on my forehead and extremely stubborn moderate acne on my cheek and jawline. I've been seeing a dermatologist since age 12, and I've been on two types of pills, 3 if you count The Pill, Ziana, Differen, Duac, and one other. None of these things cleared my acne. I've also tried ProActive, which tore up my face, and made it painful. Clinique Acne Solutions just feels *healthy* when I'm using it. I've already started noticing less inflammation and small pimples were gone overnight. The spots on my forehead are already on their way out (and it's only been two days!) I can't wait to see full results! P.S. I don't recommend this to people with light acne. It's probably just too much medication, esp. the Benzoyl Peroxide at 2.5%.

Pros:

It made my face bright and they replaced the moisturizer to the moisture surge one because my skin is very dry and it worked very well

Cons:

incredibly expensive for a student like me. I couldn't afford buying it in Japan as the price is twice as expensive.

It didn't work anymore after about 3 weeks

If you're super rich and do not mind that it'll only work for a period of time, use it. It's good. Otherwise, save your money and use baking soda instead. It does the same work.

Pros:

The only acne product that worked for me. My skin is actually clear, not red and oily.

Cons:

can dry your skin despite the clearing moisturizer. Expensive.

I'm 38 years old now. I've had acne since I was 18 years old. Have tried everything such as accutane, murad, proactiv, neutrogena, etc. I will always have one or two huge cysts before trying on this. After trying it for almost one year now, I've never had one huge cyst although I would still get some blackheads and small pimples which don't grow big. What I really like about this product is that my skin doesn't get oily or shiny after a few hours of putting them on my skin. I'll wake up during the night and when I look in the mirror, I could see how clear my skin is, not oily, or shiny like other acne products would do to my skin. I hope this helps. But also, I am taking supernutrition multivitamin for women with organic superfoods and herbs for women, drinking green tea everyday, and eating healthier, organic foods. Once in a while, I'll cheat and eat junk foods. :-) I'm really happy I've found this product because I am tired of trying new stuff.

Pros:

Looking forward to my refund.

Cons:

It irritated my skin, made it burn. I can't smile because my skin is so tight.

My friend used it and she said it worked great for her. We purchased it at the same time. I have been using Clinique's three step for quite some time. I rarely break out and so when i did I started freaking out and told my clinique sales rep that i needed to get rid of the acne - fast. She recommended the acne solutions. I abided and when I used it, my skin started feeling irritated and started burning. My face was so tight, it hurt to laugh. I figured my skin just had to get used to it.. After about four days of using it, my skin has exploded with blotches! From someone who used to have clear, smooth skin... I am extremely upset. I plan on locking myself in my house until a miracle happens and cures my of my wretched skin. No, I'm not vain... it's THAT bad.

Pros:

The system made my skin (the parts unaffected by acne) very soft and smooth.

Cons:

Did not improve my acne AT ALL. The "moisturizer" that comes with drys out skin horribly therefore another moisturizer must be used afterwards.

The guy at clinique I talked to told me only two people had returned these products in the past 5 months so I thought it had to be worth a shot.I've been using the system for 3 weeks now and I swear I still have the SAME pimples and cysts I had when I began. My acne was not horrible before but this has definitely made it noticeably worse. I think the products work well but not for people suffering from acne. If I didn't have acne I would definitely use their three step program for normal skin. But I need something that REALLY treats acne. Bottom line I wouldn't recommend it. I'm going to continue using it for one more week because I had really high hopes; I've come this far I don't want to give up. But if nothing improves in a week I will be returning it.

Pros:

Clears up problem zones pretty well and quickly

Cons:

Doesn't fully clear up all acne

I never really had bad acne, just a few pimples here and there. When I got this system, it cleared up my T-Zone and forehead really quick, and now I never have more than a small pimple or two on my face. It's worth buying! The trick is to use other products with the system like spot clearing gel and face masks.

Pros:

Won't irritate your skin, and won't leave skin feeling 'tight' and dry and THEN oily! It won't irritate your allergies. I've got bad sinus allergies, but this was great! Easy to use; Lasts a long time.

Cons:

Slight medicine smell, goes away after 10 min. Wish the moisturizing toner came in a spill-proof bottle. It's kind of expensive, but IT WORKS and the amount you get lasts for a long time vs. a 30-day amount with other products that don't work.

Face washes usually left my skin feeling tight, then dry, then extremely oily. Also, some caused more breakouts due to fragrances or b/c it over-dried my skin. I had no reactions to this product, and after three weeks, my skin cleared up a good 90%, and is getting better! The slight medicine smell goes away after 10 min, don't be put off by it. I have tried Clearasil-over-dried causing more breakouts and shiny complexion, Clean & Clear-caused my skin to turn red and itchy, Noxema-didn't do anything, etc. and NOTHING has done as good of a job as Clinique. My skin tends to be oily, so I skip its moisturizing lotion and use a matting one instead, but if you have dry to combo skin, use it. It's pricey, but I bought my FULL SIZE kit on Ebay. It's worth the money, and I will stick with this for a long time.
