Pros:

After trying many products, I bought this system, I live in the UK where it is called 'anti blemish' solutions. It is lovely to use, makes my skin so soft and spots appear flatter, I have noticed a difference in the oil production on the surface of my skin, and its definitely made my acne less inflamed. I also the sacyclic acid spot treatment gel on a couple of the big spots I have and that leaves a nice tingly feeling. My skin is definitely clearer and I've only been using it for a week.

Cons:

Smells a bit strange. but nothing to bad.

This has definitely worked for me, and it was well worth the investment in my opinion.

Pros:

-Cleared the majority of my acne
-Doesn't smell or contain unnecessary ingredients
-Gentle
-Don't have to use much

Cons:

- Slightly expensive
-Didn't clear all of my acne..
-You have to adjust the recommender regime to fit your skin.

I like the products. I have combination skin with pimples that used to pop up all over my forehead and cheeks. Since I started using the product (Almost a year ago) I have seen a major decrease in the large breakouts. I still get smaller pimples but when I use Clinique's spot treatment, they go away pretty quickly. I haven't gotten a big, ugly breakout since last summer :) I think a lot of people start using a product and expect it to work right away...that's not the case. You have to give the product time & use it in a way that works for you. I use the cleanser (1 pump) morning and night, the toner (I think it's called clarifying lotion) twice a day, and the moisturizer at night in the needed spots. I use the spot treatment when necessary. It's a little expensive, but it the best thing I've found so far.

None.

This product is worth the money. I love clinique and all their products have been good to me. If you don't like it, or think it didn't work for you, take it back for a refund!

Pros:

Works well, not so abrasive to skin, nice and gentle.

Cons:

Price, but worth it = )

I have been using Clinique for 2 years now. I used to use Proactive, Murad and was on Minocyclene for a while but didn't get results. I use The Cleansing Bar in the mornings and The Foam Cleanser at Night. I then use the Clarifying Lotion (day and night) and apply the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (Mornings) and at night I apply sparingly the Clearing Moisturizer (Benzoyl Peroxide), as it does dry my skin just a tad. I also use the concealer when I do have a few that need to be consealed or use the spot healing gel. I also use the Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed powder to help for the more than a few breakouts to help conceal for all over coverage than applying more than needed consealer or spot healing gel. Yes, as a guy I will wear makeup to hide it, honestly because it's so light my friends don't even know I am wearing it. I also use 2 days a week the Oil-Control Cleansing Mask.

Pros:

none

Cons:

no effect, expensive, wierd smell for clarifying lotion

I have just used the clarifying lotion and soap; both to no effect. I have used them for more than six months now, but there has still been no change in my acne. that was about forty dollars down the drain, all for wierd smelling liquid and regular soap.

Pros:

Easily accessible (carried at a variety of locations)

Cons:

Overly irritating, left me with extremely dry skin and inflamed acne.

I've been trying to transition off ProActive for a few months now (though that system has actually worked very well for me). I thought I'd give this stuff a try considering all the rave reviews it seemed to be getting here and knowing that Clinique has a good reputation, but this line was just way too harsh. It definitely did not agree with my skin (sensitive, oily). While on this product my skin completely dried up and NOT in a good way. It left my face feeling tight, irritated, dry, inflamed and uncomfortable. I stuck with it thinking things may get better, but decided to cease use after my generally mild acne became increasingly worse (bordering on moderate). It also left patches of my skin darker than usual, which worried me. I only used these products for about 3 weeks. I probably should have stuck with them longer, but I could tell that they were not doing my skin any good. I'm someone who is all up for trying new things, but I sincerely wish I had not tried this line.

Pros:

I really like this product.
The moisturizer really dried out my skin when I used it all over, so now I only use it on my trouble spots (my forehead). I have little to no pimples at all on the lower half of my face, so I only use the cleanser and a bit of toner.
The moisturizer dried me out so much I had to use a separate moisturizer (Cetaphil), which is a lifesaver. I am now waiting for future results!
My skin now feels soft and clean.

Cons:

I still have breakouts on my forehead and a little bit on my chin, but I'm going to continue using it for a few months to see any possible changes.

I definitely recommend it, although if you have combination skin, do not use the moisturizer all over your face. The cleanser is lovely, it makes my skin soft and doesn't dry me out at all. The toner is nice as well, I'm not sure what it's doing but I'm sure it's doing something! The moisturizer is great on my forehead, but NO WHERE ELSE.

Pros:

This is an awesome product! It is a little pricey to buy the items seperate, but it is well worth it. I have actually paid more for other products that didn't work as well. I would definitely recommend this product. A lot of stores are sold out of the clearing moisturizer because it works so well, but I just ordered mine from [link removed] and it was already shipped out this morning!

Cons:

None that I've seen yet...

Awesome product.
