Pros:

It feels really good on the skin! I like the packaging a lot and I actually lilke the feeling of the toner. It prevents acne very well.

Cons:

It takes a long time for any acne scarring to go away. It can be very drying, so an additional moisturizer is needed. It's a tad bit on the expensive side, but then again clear skin is priceless.

It prevents acne very very well, but it takes a long time to heal existing acne. It's actually cheaper than proactiv and it's funner to use. The moisturizer, step 3, is drying, but you're only supposed to use it on your acne spots, so you need an additional oil free moisturizer elsewhere.

Pros:

-cleared my moderate acne when many perscriptives wouldn't
-improves skin texture over time
-eliminates shine

Cons:

-slight initial inflamatory reaction to using this product that went away after 2 days(redness, drying, etc.)

As a beauty fan, having a clear complexion was really desirable to me but was impossible owing to my moderate acne in itself, and the many blemishes that would come with it. Clinique made all that change. The results were visible the very next day. The blemishes would clear out without overdrying, my skin broke out much less, and the redness in my skin was almost completely eliminated. In addition, this product worked to prevent acne, oil and shine over time. Now, when talking about an anti-acne product, it is important to have one's expectations in check. Acne can be controled, not cured. What 'cures' or 'eliminates' it, according to the research I've done is age, since acne is in part a function of hormones. In the meantime, it is important to control acne and the damage it can impart on the skin. Clinique works wonderfully to do just that. Bottom Line: Stock up like you're about to go hibernate!!! :)

Pros:

i feel my face clean, fresh, old marks from acne (red) are dissapering

Cons:

i live in a hot island with almost every day we have hot temperature ,the moist. cream is a little too irritate for me to use it at day so i use the moisturizer gel from clinique and at night the acne moist.

Since i was 12 i have acne, i went to a dermatologist and help me very well with my problem. I start using clinique products almost 4 years ago and they work well on me. But at this last 2 years im in so much stress so my acne come back badly(now im 24). At january i decide to go to the dermatologist again but the lotion she recommend me didnt work and my acne was worst so i discontinue that product, it was a waste of money :-S so i decide to start a research in the internet to view some reviews from different brands and i find this site and read too many good reviews so i decide to purchase it. The first time i use the products i feel my face so clean and fresh, the next day almost every pimple and marks starts to dissapear, my mom notice that and she didn't knew i was using this product for my acne. Today is almost 5 days of using this products and my old marks from my acne of months are almost gone, the old scars from my acne(5 or 6 yrs ago) are so much better. I feel confident :-D

Pros:

Made skin smooth-Cleared my acne within 2 months-reduced the redness

Cons:

It would get dry if I don't put on lotion after the whole 3 step. I recommend if your face gets really dry to use the moisture surge (its from clinique also). This really helped with the dryness.

Before Cliniques Acne Solutions, I have used ProActive, Acne Clear, had chemical peels(mircodermabersion), spent bookoo bucks on acne gels (Tazorac, and Differen), and nothing has worked better than Clinique. I was very skeptical at first because I used their 3step system before (not the acne solutions) and it didn't work on my skin. I finally decided to try the acne solution and its really working. I'm feeling more and more confident about myself as my skin is clearing up more and more.

Pros:

It works... at least for me. I used it for a while and it did clear up my skin quite well.

Cons:

I'm a top ramen and ham sandwhich college student and I couldn't afford the 60 a month. Plus and I would always run out of the cleanser first which was so annoying and it did kind of dry my skin out.

It is expensive but totally worth the money (if you have it). It drys out the skin but if you use the moisterizer you should be fine. I also used it with the clarifying makeup which is the only makeup that covers my acne really well without causing me to breakout more.

Pros:

Helped dry up my pimples and oil. You can buy a trial size of the 3 products for $40, which is not bad at all for Clinique.

Cons:

Dried out my skin, to the point that it was itching and burning. My face was flaky after a couple of days of using it. I was also getting hives because my skin was so irritated. No fragrance either, and I thought it smelled horrible.

I would NOT recommend this is you have sensitive skin! The Clinique rep that sold this to me said it was fine for sensitive skin, but I don't know where she got that from. I had to stop using it after the third day because my skin was on fire and it felt so tight and irritated. The products are pretty strong and I don't see how someone could possibly use them every day. It would maybe work for someone with thicker, non-sensitive skin, but this was not for me.
