If you're lucky, it might work for you.
My friend also has acne and recommended me the Clinique Acne Solutions Clear Skin System. I have oily skin and moderate/severe acne. The person at the counter also said that this kit is great and that just in case it didn't work then I can just get the $36 trial set. I should've been turned off by the price but I was just so excited by the idea that this might finally put a stop to my acne that I bought it without thinking. I used it for 1 1/2 months until I finished it and it ultimately made little difference, maybe broke me out a wee bit. If you're lucky it might work for you. Up to you whether you want to risk $36 because I sure as heck wish I didn't.

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:

It shrunk all my pimples and cleared out most of my blackheads and the cleanser, toner, lotion all felt nice. :)
the lady told me that i will be getting a lot more pimples since my face needs to detox, but i never got more pimplse and it worked fa

Cons:

AT FIRST. But after couple days, it dried my skin like craaazzy (it really burns). The spots where my pimples shrunk are super red and itchy and inflamed. And, the spots where some of my blackheads became large pores.

try not to use it unless you really have oily skin! or use an extra moisterizer! i don't recommend if you have pimples only in the T-zone like me :( i also recommend that you get the starter kit if you have very light, light, or moderate acne because i think your face willl heal fast enough with that amount. DON'T get the big pack, because it will completely dry out your skin.

Pros:

It dried out my acne and made it less visible.

Cons:

It dried out my whole face completely to the point where my skin was flaking off. I decided to take a break from it and start up again later, when I used it a second time, my skin didn't react to it at all and just continued to break out.

Would not recommend this product. Contains too much alcohol.

Pros:

it had nice packaging, it was a brand i had heard if and was well known, i got a refund when i took it back

Cons:

it made my skin worse than before, it dried my skin out so i couldnt even cover it up with makeup, it cost more than most suppposed acne solutions

this really didnt work for my skin and i regret buying it as my skin was awful for weeks however it did work for one of my friends so before buying i recommend getting little tester sizes or atleast check you will be able to return it and get a refund if it doesnt work. i just want to say every product is different for everyones skin and even though there are lots of fantastic reviews on here, which is what convinced me to buy it, IT ISNT A MIRACLE CURE ! but then again what product is

Pros:

You can try all three in the smaller size 3 pack before spending more for th eindividual bottles

Cons:

This really, really dried my skin out which in turn really aggrevated my skin & made me breakout more.

This treatment really did a number as far as drying out my skin to the point where I had big patchy sections on my skin. I reduced the final step to every other day and applied a moisturizer twice daily but I continued breaking out. I had to stop the treatment halfway through because my skin looked horrible. I moved on to Alpha Hydrox oilfree and three days later my skin is noticably clearer w/ no dying at all. I'm hoping this one works and will review it in a few weeks.

Pros:

Brand name, nicely packaged, three different types of face wash.

Cons:

Irritable to skin-- causes itchy, red, and burning.

As soon as I started to use this product my face gradually turned bright red throughout the day. I don't know if I'm personally allergic to a chemical in their cleanser, but my entire face was beat red, itchy, and burning. I had to go to a doctor who recommended aloe vera. I use Clinique makeup and it's great, so I really don't know why this product didn't work for me-- Clinique is supposed to be a pretty high-end cosmetic brand and I was extremely disappointed with the 3-step acne care system. I got my 60$ back immediately after. So, be sure to check the ingrediants before purchase and warning for those with sensitive skin: be careful!

Pros:

smells ok and sometimes it works

Cons:

expensive and only 50% of job done and kind of thin doesetn feel like it works

VERY expensive for about 5 bucks worth of liquid that is basically the same ingrediant as anyhting cheaper and it runs out reallly really quickly nad the worst part is that it only does about 50% of the job and only calms your acne doesetn get rid of
