Pros:

Smells Good

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Made my face itchy

I've had mild acne my whole life. Once I got married, my acne started to go insane, especially around my chin,neck,and cheeks. I read good reviews on this, and started it. My acne has gotten SEVERELY worse since starting and the whole left side of my face is scared....on to something else I guess. My acne has never itched before until this. It's terrible!

Pros:

*smells very nice
*face feels soft
*good toner
* moisturizer is awesome!

Cons:

*very expensive
* didn't help much with acne

i would recommend this for people with normal acne but not for girls like myself. I used it for 3 months and i didn't see any improvements. i thought that because it is sold in the mall and it is expensive it would work wonders but it didn't. =C maybe this product is not meant for severe acne and that is why it didn't work on me!

it starts helping and then your skin breaks out again and you cant get rid of the acne and you try other things

Pros:

Made zits smaller.

Cons:

Dried and irrated skin very expensive. It is too much for its quality.

Not the best it cleanses but doesn't get rid. It upsets me that it started eating at me and hurting my skin.

Pros:

-helps reduce excess oil on your face

Cons:

- dries out your skin
-makes breakouts worst

I started using this product because I have started to breakout a lot more. I tried everything, clean and clear, neutrogena, tea tree from bodyshop.. So I decided to try the clinique acne system. Worst decision of my life! The first few days it helped reduce the size of my pimples but then after a week my skin was 100X worst then it's ever been! I have cystic acne on my chin, near my mouth and they take forever to leave and then come back really quickly! I used to hardly breakout and now its really bad! I am going to stop using clinique and see what happens! this product has ruined my skin

Pros:

Makes your skin feel tighter
Really good for bacne

Cons:

Irritates skin
Drys out skin

I've used the whole kit for about 6 weeks. The first two weeks it seemed to be working. But then my acne started getting worse. A lot. More people started noticing it than ever before. The pimples on my forehead were a lot more red. It did make my skin feel tight but my acne was still there. However, i used the 2nd and 3rd step on my back, and it worked really really good !

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Only worked for a short period of time

I had high hopes for this product as I really like most Clinique items. Unfortunately this was not the case. It seemed to clear up some of my acne for a while, but now has come back worse than before.

Pros:

Cleared up acne within a few days

Cons:

Left my face real dry ,

When I first started using this product I stared clearing up my acne pretty quick , which I thought was great but after using for a few more days it started drying up my face really bad ,and to top it off I started breaking out more . Like I constantly got breakouts . So I just decided to stop using it and now am going to give proactiv a try let's see how that works

Pros:

~it will start working within a week!

Cons:

~the price
~this did not work for me
~It burns your face if you use it 2 times a day sometimes it burns even if you use it once
~makes your face dry

This stuff only worked for me for couple of weeks, then it made me break out even more and in the morning my skin got dry. When i use the cleansing mask, it makes my skin dry within 5 minutes and it's difficult to get off your face and your skin will be dry the entire day. Also, if you go swimming, and you use clinique, it makes your face super dry. And, don't switch back and forth over products because it will make your face even dryer Please don't waste your money on this product.

Pros:

doesn't dry out your face

Cons:

saw no results

I wouldn't recommend this product. I've used other products and seen some type of results after 2 weeks but I haven't with Clinique.
