Pros:

Works very well if you are consistent with it.

Cons:

Doesn't do well when you sweat a lot. I'm in texas and it's hot so sweating is inevitable especially when i do sports and work out quite a bit.

This product starting out did dry out my face and i had to use a lotion to cause it from flaking...don't use the oily lotions or you'll break out even more. Now it is just fine, have the occasional breakout after sweating...the next day i pay for it. I don't have a good daily face wash, but stick to this stuff morning and at night right before you go to bed. Be religious to it and you should be fine.

Pros:

Smells great, feels great, reduces redness, eliminates blackheads.

Cons:

Irritates skin at first (give its a week or two)

This product is amazing. Yes, it irritates your skin at first, but any Acne Treatment is going to do that. The point is that it trains your skin to behave. It does take a week or two to kick in, but once it does it's worth it. I noticed a large decrease in blackheads the most. Which means it's getting the deep stuff right away. LOVE THIS STUFF. BUY IT!

Pros:

definately reduced spots at first
good price, no side effects, good for sensitive skin
over the counter so its wasy to get a hold of

Cons:

after using it regularily for around 6 months it dosn't seem to be doing anything anymore

i started using the cleansing foam, the clarifying lotion and the clearing moisuriser and was really happy with the results,my skin was never completely clear but there was a huge improvment. i have had bad reactions to other acne facewashes from nutrogena and clean and clear, and was happy that i didn't get a rash or anything. it dosn't dry out my skin and it's agood price. i am now using the cleansing bar soap instead of the foaming cleanser and it worked just as well at first but now my face is back to how it was before and i am looking into alternatives. i really like this product and would recommend it, just dont be surprised if it stops working. hopefully its just me!

I havent found anything that leaves my skin feeling as clean and smooth. And.. ive tried everything =P i deffinitly reccomend making the investment How it works as good for u!

Pros:

Clears acne, reduces oiliness and shine

Cons:

can make skin a bit dry in the winter, the counters can't keep the line in stock

The 3 step acne line is fabulous. Although I still get the occassional breakout, it is a rarity compared to before. My skin tone is more even and bright. I have tried many products including proactiv and this is better by far.

Pros:

Easy to use, gentle on sensitive skin, money back guarantee

Cons:

Can run out quickly, a little expensive

I love this treatment. I'm 22 and I've used tons of different things including prescriptions of Differin and Tetracycline, also ProActiv and Dan's regimen. Clinique has worked the best for me. It hasn't completely cleared up my skin, but it is a major improvement from what it was. It makes my skin very soft and has gotten the oil under control. The pimples that I do still get are easily covered and usually just around the time of my period. I run out of the BP lotion about every month, but the rest of the line lasts quite awhile. I would highly recommend these products to anyone with stubborn acne. I wish I would have found it sooner before wasting my money on prescriptions and over the counter junk. Try it!

Pros:

This product has dramatically cleared up my face. It has even almost completely gotten rid of all the black heads on my nose. I can't wait to look in the mirror and use it everyday and see the progress. I've tried many things and this is the best.

Cons:

It really dries out your skin and makes it sting, but its worth it. During the day I use hydrating cream instead of the BP lotion that comes with the kit. It makes my skin look and feel great during the day. At night I use the entire 3 steps.

This product works.

Pros:

*Cleared skin some what
*Got rid of razor burn!! (the alcohol in the toner)

Cons:

*Made skin flake and dry
*Kinda pricey

Being a 20 year old male trying to get rid of off and on acne, i new many people who had clinique, so i got the acne package the starter kit for 40 bucks, i only use it for a week and a half and i know thats not enough time it did kinda work having breakouts on my jawline and from shaving but my skin started peeling and i think there was too drying between the toner and the foam wash the bp lotion is awesome thow!!! it goes on so much nicer than any other bp lotion i have ever tried BP is really the way to go it can be really drying as well thow I had read reviews on line about there mild toner which has no alcohol and there mild face liquid face wash thats really gentle. I'm using those with the BP for now will repost to let you know. **1 1/2 weeks use ace getting better but still breaking out, way less flakiness thow and hardly any irritation!
