Pros:

got rid of acne on cheek, nose, and forehead
prevented acne from forming
toner/moisturizers protected skin from flaking and kept it moistured
the toner has a really good cell turnover rate, where i just wiped off the dead skin cells
also got rid of some body acne

Cons:

was over my usual budget for acne medication plus another 75 dollars for brown spot serum (which I don't see progress)

I'm very happy with my results, however I didn't really have severe acne to begin with so I don't know how it'd work for people with that. I had mild acne along my cheeks and it took care of that. Overall I reccommend to all my friends, however warn them that it's really expensive. I don't think it's useful as a body acne med., but it did reduce some of it. I use the Clinique Acne solution line with PanOxyl foaming cleanser and the St. Ives Apricot blemish scrub, it's really works for me and now has became my regular skin routine. I totally reccomend it for people that are willing to splurge on their skin, and i t's worth it.

Pros:

cleans my face
clears whiteheads/ blackheads
shrinks pimples
easy to use

Cons:

does not smell pleasant (not bad either)
has not completely cleared my acne

clears acne but does not seem to prevent it. I have only been using it for about a week so i dont know if it will start. it is great becuase it is the only thing that i use.... so i dont have to worry about other products irritating my face because these were meant to go together. clears acne very well!

Pros:

Really Works!
Smells OK

Cons:

A little drying
Itchiness around my chin/neck

OK, so I have SUPER sensitive skin, and typically all acne medications burn me and leave dry welts. I have only used this for 2 days, but WOW over-night the first night was already a HUGE difference! Day 2, even more of a difference. So far I am really impressed. My chin/neck area is super itchy though so that is a neg. for me. I guess I need to avoid that area. I hope this holds up to the test for the next few weeks. Also note, so far I am only using it at night. I may even switch to every other night just to play it safe. But I would def. recommend trying this product so far!!

Pros:

It really clears the acne. Every day I wake up, I see differences. It also takes out the redness and the size of the acne overnight. Also does not irritate my skin.

Cons:

It dries you're skin out if you use the moisturizer on the non-breakout spots. Moisterizer also may flake it you scratch it.

This is amazing for me because it really WORKS! I just put it on at night and when I wake up to go use it again, it seems like a miracle has happen to my face! The giant pimples vanish and shrink, and it reduces the redness/ noticability of the acne as well. The moisturizer is a bit drying, and it will burn you're skin if you use it where you don't need it (I just out it on my forhead, where all the acne is) but overall, it works amazing. Also don't scratch anything, because the moisterizer will flake and turn white (but this can be combatted by putting some lotion on over it). CLINIQUE IS THE BEST BOTTOM LINE!!!

Pros:

clears acne, makes skin feel smooth and leaves you with a brighter more even complexion

Cons:

a bit drying

hands down, the best acne product i have ever used and will only use. I have tried so many products that made my skin clear within the first week and then from there it all went downhill. This product after the first week and beyond keeps your skin clear. My skin is sensitive so i only use at night, but that still gets the job done. I was so self-conscious about my face and borderline depressed, if anyone reads this and feels the same way i definitely encourage you to go buy this stuff right now. I saw an improvement within two days, crazy i know but it's the truth. Clinique is amazing, i cant possibly thank them enough!
