Pros:

Cleared my skin rather quickly and made it look more healthy and even toned.

Cons:

Doesn really prevent breakouts around "that time of the month"

I have been using the clinique acne line for about a month and my skin doesnt break out as often and looks healthier and more even toned. I tend to breakout around my period time and it doesnt really prevent that but it helps clear it quickly.

Pros:

the exfoliating part is prob. the only thing i like because it gives your skin a refreshing, tingling feeling.

Cons:

i have never broken out this much living on this earth for 26 years!!!!!!!

i've never really had an acne problem. got pimples every now and then but my face has always been smooth without any noticeable problems. but i was in paris for awhile over the summer and started to get pimples on the sides of my face and also some places around my face. soon as i got back, i spoke to a spokeswoman for clinique and advised me to do the 3 step program daily. so i have been using it day and night for about a week and 1/2 now, and i have been getting pimples on places of my face that i have never ever gotten. AND, on top of that, they wont stop multiplying! it's seriously AWFUL! i made an appt. to see the deramtologist, because i literally do not want to leave my house.....

Pros:

Clears acne, smooths and softens skin.

Cons:

Stinks, pricey, and is not intended to aid in scarring, thus need another product. Tip--ask for sample.

Ok, I'm back giving my review again. It's been over a month now using Clinique. My acne did clear out, but then I put on some make up I got from Walmart--Iman I think its called and broke out real bad this past Friday. I put on the spot treatment, and that helped reduce the break out but didn't eliminate it. When to DIllards today and talked with the rep, she put on an acne fighting foundation and told me to call her to see how it worked. So, now I've did my acne solution regime cleaned everything off, and guess what, my break out cleared up even with the makeup on. She explained to me how the products work together between the different lines in clinique and said i could bring in the stuff from walmart to see what can help or hurt my progress. So far, clinique is doing its thang!

Pros:

Nothing!!!

Cons:

Dried my skin out like crazy.
Gave me more pimples, EVEN AFTER I'VE STOPPED USING IT.
Darkened my skin.

For the first few days, I used the 3 steps in this regime and after 2 days, I noticed my face got darker and my skin was peeling. When I lifted my eyebrows, I can see lines of wrinkles because my skin was so dry. When I wash my face, my face stings and the pain lasts for more than an hour. Even putting on another moisturizer burns my skin. So I decided to stop for a while and start again, this time stopping the acne solutions moisturizer all together. For the first week after starting again, nothing happened to my skin. But at the start of the second week, MY SKIN BROKE OUT LIKE CRAZY. I used to have acne only on my forehead but it spread to my cheeks. I read somewhere that breaking out is supposed to happen, so I continued. I JUST KEEP BREAKING OUT THROUGH THE 3RD N 4TH WEEK, EVEN AFTER STOPPING USE!!! Now my entire face looks like sh*t, and I don't even wanna go out of the house. No amount of concealer will conceal my acne now!

Pros:

Less acne break out, smoother brighter skin.

Cons:

Stinky fragrance, face feels a bit tight afterwards, does not treat acne scars.

I was skeptical after a week with no results at all, ready to quit. Meet up with the rep that sold me the products last week and discussed that acne not clearing up and was asked how much water do I drink per day. Suggested that I increase my water intake to help the skin. So--its 18 days since I started using this product and I am happy with the results thus far. Drinking more water has helped, and acne has tremendously reduced. I also was given a sample of toner that is specifically for clearing acne scars. Just wish it didn't stink. Overall--I'm not ready to give up on Clinique just yet.

Pros:

I've only been using clinique acne solutions for a week, and I love it. I love the way the product gives your face a clean feeling. The smell is great too. I also have used the spot treatment which is amazing.

Cons:

It leaves my face a little dry so I make sure to use a good moisturizer.

I've tried proactive, murad, and countless over the counter products. Proactive dried the heck out of my face. Murad gave me cysts that were painful and left scars. Clinique makes my face feel good. I also love their oil free make-up products. =]

Love the Acne Clinque products. I have been struggling with acne for over 8 years and have tried everything, even things my doctor prescribed. I am now acne free thanks to Clinique Acne Solutions Products. I recommend it to all my friends and family.

Cons:

Does not really treat existing acne scars.

Love it and will be using it for a long time. Highly recommended!!!!

Pros:

Works within the first few days, little or no fragrance, easy to use, not too much drying, spot treatment with 3-step is fantastic, cleanser not gritty and feels very refreshing, clarifier gets rid of makeup and dead skin, works better than Proactiv

Cons:

A little expensive compared to normal cleansers and toners, takes a little time to use all the steps in the morning

This product works great and is definitely worth the price. I've been using it day and night for about 3 days, and I've seen immediate results. I had slightly oily skin, and my problem areas were cheeks- sides that I slept on, and my forehead where my bangs are. The cleanser is great, and foamy and refreshing, and doesn't feel heavy. The clarifying lotion gave immediate satisfaction, because when you use it on the cotton ball, you could always see the dead skin and makeup it took off. The moisturizer is nice, cuts the drying of the clarifier, and the spot treatment worked great. I only used it at night on a few problem areas, and by morning, they either shrunk or were completely gone (make sure you pull your hair back!) . It makes my skin feel and look smooth, and so clean.
