Pros:

clearing my skin :)

Cons:

very expensive

ive just recently switched from proactiv to the clinique three step, and i have to say the difference for me is quite remarkable, the redness in my spots is nearly completely gone, my face already feels a lot smoother. All in all im glad i spent the extra money on this, especially if it keeps working the way it has been already. I also got a free mascara and 'take the day off' makeup remover. :)

Pros:

Cleans skin for a day or two, then stops working

Cons:

Burns
Drys skin
A lot of redness
Painful
Irritation

Do not buy it. I used it, and for the first day or so it got rid of a few blemishes, but the redness and irritation it caused was not worth it. It stopped working after a week and it still burned.

Pros:

Easy to use, see fast results -- within a week or two, great for sensitive skin, reduces redness on the face.

Cons:

Pricey...but sometimes you get a free gift with purchase. I did! ;)

I bought this product for my 15 year old son a couple of weeks ago and it has done wonders to his face. Everyday his acne is disappearing. My son's acne is around his chin, forehead and sideburns area of the cheeks. His acne was becoming severe. This product has stopped the acne from becoming worst. His face is not completely clear but his acne is now controlled! I was very skeptical about purchasing Clinique's products for my son because Clinique mainly targets women however I'm glad I did. My son has used many other different products and non have work as good as this one.

Pros:

Gentle
Works amazing
Hypoallergenic

Cons:

Little Pricey
Moisturizer dries out skin a bit

I've been using Clinique Acne Solutions for about a month now. All I can say is that I love it. I have dry and sensitive skin, and I can safely say that I have not experienced any irritation from this product. No, my acne hasn't cleared up all the way, but it has cleared my complexion up significantly. I've seen noticeable differences and I don't mind paying the price for something that works. The only drawback is the moisturizer. I tend to only use it on breakout spots (like my cheeks). The bottom line is to try it! I'm sure you'll love the results.

Pros:

Easy to use.

Cons:

I started breaking out a lot so I decided to use a more expensive product than what I normally would pay for.

I would have to say that it did not do anything for my skin. I still broke out all the time and the product ran out really quickly. I've been using the product for 4-5 weeks now and I do not see any difference at all and I'm still breaking out. This is the worst break outs I've had since middle school.

Pros:

Redness of acne is almost all gone
Flattened my acne

Cons:

Not very much in there
Burns a little at first but you know its working
A little pricey but not too bad

I really enjoy using this product, only been on it for a week but my friends even notice a difference in my acne. I would reccomend it

Pros:

REDUCED MY ACNE! :)

Cons:

Redness of cheeks & quite pricey

Wow, i bought this product YESTERDAY! i used it last night, this morning, & tonight and i must say this stuff is amazing. My cheeks have always been very sensitive to acne washes, so the redness this product causes is very typical to my skin. I avoided putting the 3rd step on my cheeks tonight & focused putting it on my chin (which is breaking out HORRIBLY!), therefore the redness has reduced dramatically. I recommed the 3rd step only ONCE a day to avoid irritation. I have struggled w/acne since I was 13 years old & I am now 18. I have tried nearly everything, proactive, acne free, neutrogena, & other washes I received from the dermatologist. The only product that has worked for me was proactive, but it stopped working after a year. I love clinque make-up so I gave this product a shot. My acne reduced after 1 day!!! it's so great. The bumps are nearly flat now! I'm also using Clinique's acne solutions liquid makeup & acne solutions cleaning concealer. Not only is it covering up embarrasing acne, but HEALING it as well. It gives your face a very natural look, without the caking & piling of makeup look. Despite the cost, these products have given me great results so far & i hope to see even more progress in my fight against acne :) The cost is totally worth it :)

Pros:

Non drying and doesnt leave skin feeling oily
Definate reduction in no of pimples, redness and oilyness after a few days

Cons:

Slightly more expensive than lower end products such as clearisil. I always buy clinique when bonus time is on though as I use the free gifts so it doesnt seem so pricey then.
Not a miracle worker
Will not remove make up- I use clinique take the day off and another cleanser first and use this system on a clean make up free face.

I started using this one week ago. I have been using lots of different brands over the past 8 years for my acne such as neutrogena, simple, clearisil, clarins and none of them have worked. I have used the clinique 3 step system for normal skin in the past and that was ok but didnt make a difference. Anyway my friend told me good things about the blemish solutions range so I decided to give it ago. I saw a noticeable difference in my skin after a few days of using it....it has been less oily, has calmed some of the pimples and reduced some of the redness. Brands such as clearisil have made my skin flake in the past and red but this kit didnt make it red or dry at all. However, it hasnt worked miracles yet and I have still had a few new pimples appear but there is a definate difference. Im going to continue using it and I will be buying another set if it continues to work as well as it is doing now.
