Pros:

•It does clear up SOME acne in the first week.
•It's all in smaller sized bottles so it is easy to carry places.
•It is a great thing to buy if you are just going to try it because you spend LESS money than buying each of the items separately.
•If you get a blemish on your skin and it pops up it usually takes the blemish about a day or two to go away. (That is way faster than any other product I have Used.
•It doesn't make my skin red or irritated like other products.

Cons:

•It doesn't really help with stress acne.
•The Moisturizer comes out way too fast so every time I go to moisturize I always end up using too much.
•The cleanser doesn't take off all of your make up so I have to use use another product by clinique to get my make off.
•You have to use more off the cleanser then recommended.

I have only been using this product for about a week. I love it all. But it does not seem to help stress blemishes... It has cleared up the dried up acne that I have had on my forehead for about a year, now almost all of that is gone. I have only been using this for a short time so I will give it a while longer and then review it again. I would recommend this to anyone!

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft, and refreshed. Reduces redness. Odorless. After first use pimples begin to disappear.

Cons:

Burns nose a bit, the price is high.

I have had moderately severe acne for awhile now, and last Sunday I purchased this system. I began to use it Monday morning and noticed that my skin was softer right after I did the three step process. I have now been using it for three days and most of my redness is gone, and my pimples are clearing up. I'll admit it does burn my nose a little and it's a bit pricy, but I already love it! Many people have noticed a difference and keep asking me what my secret is! This system does work.

Cons:

Moisturizer burns horribly, my breakouts are worse, and my skin feels like sandpaper.

I have sensitive, oily skin and have been using this product for about a month now. I've learned to avoid using the moisturizer on my cheeks because the burn stings far too much. It's a worse burn than any other product. When I was still using the moisturizer, I was appalled at how my skin dried up. My skin felt like sandpaper. My blemishes haven't reduced at all. I'd say from all the positive reviews, maybe try it- but it didn't work at all for me.

Pros:

Not sure if there are any besides Clinique has a good return policy.

Cons:

Expensive, too harsh, and made my blemishes worse. This is supposed to be for any skin type but mine is sensitive and it was not good.

Quit using it and swtiched to Olay foaming face wash for sensitive skin, 50/50 solution cider vinegar for exfoliant, and BP for spot treatment. My skin is getting better but there is an aftermath. I still use Clinique's moisturizing gel but am looking for something else. I would not recommend clinique. This is the 2nd skincare line I have tried and the longer I used, the worse my skin became.

Pros:

Skin cleared up after 2 weeks a little

Cons:

Made more complexion greasy, flaky, peel more, and breakout

This product is too expensive for what it dishes out. Made my skin overall worse.

Pros:

It defenitely works! I just got it yesterday and i used it in the morning and before i went to bed! My skin totally looks a lot better! My mom told me that i look beautiful! I havent seen my face this clear in a long long long long time! Im sooooooooooo excited to use it tonight i cant wait to go to school and show people how good i really look!

Cons:

The price is really the only thing thats the problem. It was about $71 but thats because i bought some extra stuff too.

Overall this product works really well, i tried clearasil and clean & clear but that didnt work very well. I had flaky, dry, irritated skin all the time, and now my skin is soft and smooth on only the 2nd day! I love this product and i would definitely recommend clinique for makeup products, and skin care products. Its always been a big help to me and i'm sure it would be for you too. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! take my advice and at least consider buying this! It works really well and i'd really like everyone else that struggles with stress related acne and other, similar types to be astonished by this product and releaved as much as i was.

Pros:

It works
No extra chemicals, gunk on your face
IT HAS WORKED FOR ME

Cons:

I spend too much money at the Clinique counter!
A little inconvenient to buy

Bottom Line: I'm 25 years old, I've had stress related acne (hard red bumps all over my cheeks) breakouts/scars for over 8 years now. I have literally tried everything. Everything at the drugstore, expensive, cheap, 3-step, 5-step, all natural, gentle scrubbing, reading reading reading reviews on different products, many products off of acne.org, Proactiv, twice a month microdermabrasion facials, blu-light, expensive laser treatments. Literally for me to have clear skin is priceless. Bottom line: this is the ONLY product I have used that makes me happy. My skin isn't perfect, I still gets bumps, but drastically less than I did before. If I run out and use other product that I have lying around I tend to break out again. But for the most part my skin is mostly clear and I'm much more confident. Regimin: I use the regular cleanser to wash makeup off my face at the end of the day, then the foaming cleanser, then the astringent, and spot treat with the salicylic spot treatment. I haven't used the moisturizer in this kit, but the yellow daily moisturizer is really light and refreshing. I also use Clinique foundation because it doesn't have a lot of additives and I think my CoverGirl makeup was contributing to my breakouts. The only con: it's a little inconvenient to go to the mall to buy more, plus the sales ladies are so good and they always have specials that I spend more than I plan on every time! But you can order online and you can have them send you new product every 30 days etc. whatever you choose. Again bottom line from a girl that has tried EVERYTHING you have nothing to lose to try it. I was always the 2% statistic that products didn't work for and I'm happy with these products. Please give Clinique a chance!
