Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft, lightly cleanses and is very nice to use, not as expensive as say Proactiv

Cons:

Does not help with clearing acne one bit

I bought this in hopes that unlike Proactiv, it would be less drying and smelly and work better. I didn't feel any dryness and it smelled pleasant, but it didn't seem to do much. My skin was in a stagnant state for around a week and then my skin worsened. I went to the Clinique stand at David Jones and told them what was happening, and they said to give it six more weeks and it would definitely work. It didn't. With the worst skin I had ever had in my life, I returned to Proactiv and although harsh, it cleared up my skin instantaneously. There is no gentle way to treat acne.

Pros:

Clears skin quickly
Makes skin feel clean
Softens skin
Fragrance Free

Cons:

Drying
3rd Step Runs out Quicker than the others
Price

From the first day I have used Clinique, my face has cleared up. I dont have very many pimples to begin with so this was able to clear almost all of them away in one day. The price isnt terrible, but it is a little expensive if you are buying it every month. It dried out my skin quite a bit so I have been using another moisturizer(Garnier Nutritionist Moisture Rescue Gel Cream). I would definitely reccomend it to people with light to moderate acne.

Pros:

AMAZING!!!!!!
reduced pimple size, redness, scarring in just one day!!!!!

Cons:

A bit drying, but nothing a little moisturizer couldn't fix; toner stings a tiny bit, but I suspect that will go away once my skin becomes accustomed to it

Its amazing I have Asian skin that's super sensitive, prone to scarring and turns red whenever it's irritated But this system didn't make my skin red and it actually decreased the redness. My dad actually commented on how much clearer my skin looked after one use. Also scars faded, especially when I used the clinique even better moisturizer

Pros:

Less expensive than equally effective kits
Controls oil well
Wonderful at clearing acne

Cons:

Leaves skin a little dry, may need additional moisturizer
Still a little pricey

I have pretty terrible, oily skin and seem to build up "resistances" to products so I've had to switch ever few months. I use Clinique foundation and they were having a sale on the Acne Solutions kit so I gave it a try. The results are wonderful. I've never been able to stick to a kit so long and have such clear skin. It works especially well on the T zone. My only complaint is it can be slightly drying sometimes, but I use another Clinique moisturizer when I need it. It's a little pricey, but cheaper than other products and one full kit lasts a long time.

Pros:

Feels clean after first use.

Cons:

Doesn't control oily skin.
Burns.
Been using for a week and I haven't noticed a difference, I've only noticed more breakouts.

It's okay if you want the fresh clean feeling but honestly just go with proactiv this stuff probably only works for certain skin and stress types.

Pros:

Worked amazing for my skin!
90% of my acne disappeared!
Made my skin just look BEAUTIFUL.
Tightened my skin.
Made my pores look small.

Cons:

The first week I used this, it made my skin feel like it was on FIRE.
Nothing for post acne marks.
A little drying.

The very first time I used this line, it made me want to cry! It stung so bad and made my face feel like it was sun burnt for an hour! After my skin got used to how strong was, it just worked amazing. I've only been using it for about a week and a half now, & more than 90% of my acne is gone. I used to have pretty severe acne too. Another bad thing about it though, is that it really drys out your skin. The first couple days, I tried using my usual moisturizer to top the moisturizer that it came with, and it didn't work so well, because it made my skin really oily. I recommend this to anyone that's okay with going through the first week of hell. (:

Pros:

clears my skin, feels refreshing

Cons:

nothing!

Clinique 3 step acne system works wonderes!! I've used everything on my skin, i've tried every store product, i've even recently used Proactiv. Proactiv made everything WORSE!! my skin had never looked worse. I was horribly broken out all over my chin and jawline. I felt like thats all people could see, and i know my friends would never judge me, but i felt so low in my self confidence. I work in the beauty industry, doing hair, so i need to project an image of self confidence and clear skin is important. I've used Clinique before, but it was before they had the acne system, and even just the regular Clinique 3 step worked great. But the acne system works even better than anything i've ever used!! I've been using it for 5 days and already i've seen a major improvement in my skin. Proactiv could never work this fast, i dont care what they say. Clinique has already cleared up a good portion of my chin and jawline, decreased the redness, and even though it's slightly drying, it's made my skin look much better. Proactiv dried my skinh out so bad it was hurting. THANK YOU CLINIQUE for helping me improve my image! I feel so much better now that my skin is clearing. I will never switch to anything else! Clinique is the best!

Pros:

cleared up acne right away, and after a full month skin was completely clear

Cons:

drying!

The system really helped my blemishes, however I noticed after a few days that it was way too drying for my skin, and I had oily skin before I started this system! I use this morning and night, but after the moisturizer I have to apply a good amount of cetaphil lotion all over my face, and heavily on my eyes and neck to keep my skin moisturized and not super dry; there is no way I could use this line without applying cetaphil afterwards. Overall, this line is pretty amazing, I have no more blemishes and I actually have to worry about making sure my skin is moisturized enough now; before I had to worry about how my skin was too oily! By using this line I have gone from oily skin to combo/dry skin because of the products' drying power. I recommend this! Just know you will have dry skin with continued use!

Pros:

Cleared skin pretty well
None peeling/drying
Reduced Redness
Can feel it working

Cons:

Makes skin feel a little tight

This product is great! i've been using it for a week and i can see/feel the difference already. It dramatically reduced the oiliness of my skin and makes it feel clean. While my face does feel a little tight till about noon i think that may go away as my skin gets used to it. There is NO peeling, dryness, and the one scar i had is going away. Even this one pimple i've had for months, even Differin couldn't make go away, is going away because of this! It really is an amazing product. I use it with a moisturizer and the spot healing gel for emergencies, which seems to be doing it's job well. I would recommend this product to anyone with light-moderate acne. it's a lifesaver!
