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

Pros:

If you can get the right combination of products this is good. The bar soap is horrible. Stay away from it

Cons:

Stay away from toners 1-4 stick with the mild. It has no alcohol and a good ph.

My recommendation for anyone would be to use a makeup remover from the line, then the mild liquid soap, mild clarifying lotion, and the benzoyl peroxide gel or the evening treatment with salycic acid. Daytime sheild during the day.

Pros:

i have been dealing with mild acne on and off for about 3 years. i have tried everything including proactive,murad, and numerous other over the counter medications.i started using clinique a month ago and my skin is clear and blemish free.it's great.

Cons:

it is a bit pricey. i went into sephora and wound up spending $80.00 on clinique products. i bought the daytime shield lotion, cleanser,perfectly real makeup, and a brush. however, they work wonderfully together and my skin looks gorgeous.

the acne solutions line is the best treatment in my opinion but probably won't work for everyone. it is very gentle and doesn't dry my skin out. it is worth the money.

Works amazing for me!

Hi all! I don't usually write reviews but I know the bane of trying to find honest reviews, especially when trying to cure our face. So I am going to be as accurate as possible!

For years, I tried most stuff for my face (products to natural ingredients) and found a routine that finally works for my face after 2 years of really bad acne. So, I  thought of sharing.

When I got this kit, I used it diligently. I usually leave the foam on my face for 2 minutes before washing it off. 

Then I dab about 2 pumps of the toner and wipe my face with it. 

For daytime, I use Clinique moisturiser (but honestly there are better ones out there, I rate the moisturiser 3/5). It does work well when I am putting makeup though. 

At night, I'll use a "heavier" moisturiser since the toner can be a little drying for the face. I like to add a pump of argan oil for extra moisturising effect.

I don't usually use the toner every day, instead I alternate every 2-3 days. But I definitely used the cleanser everyday. 

My face has improved tremendously. I hardly get breakouts (especially on period) and on occasions, pimples do appear but they go away really quickly. 

I really recommend people trying this kit to help our faces get better. Highly recommended! For those going through the process of finding your routine, don't give up. I know it's tough but it will get better, I promise :)

Love some products, not others.
I really like the foaming facial cleanser and toner. They last a very long time (which is good for the high price). But definitely didn't like the moisturiser and had to change that for something else. Would choose the foaming facial cleaner over the 'new' cleansing gel any day. Facial cleanser and toner I've been using as my main solution for a few years now, and can say they never irritated my skin like most products did, plus keeping down the spots.

Amazing, however, don't use it like this..
This face wash works so well. At first uses, it cleared my acne and left me feeling fresh everyday. But I had constantly been harshly rubbing my face when using the toner as I felt like it would remove a larger percent of the dirt. I also used it day and night everyday making my skin extremely dry. Due to this, I developed an allergy to this set, my eyes get puffy (r e a l l y puffy), and it makes my face red and itchy. It hurts so much yet I continue the use of it ~ It does work, just don't use it the way I did

A fine product, but not worth the money

Pros:

Works fine
Not particularly irritating

Cons:

Expensive
Only the clarifying lotion is worth it
Not exceptional

I use only the clarifying lotion. It works alright, and doesn't leave my skin irritated or dry even if I use it twice in a day, as long as I follow it with moisturizer (I use an oil-free neutrogena moisturizer with SPF rather than this one). The clarifying lotion is, in my opinion, the only part of this system that is a good amount of product for your money; at my mall I can buy it separately, but that might not be offered everywhere. It doesn't work better or worse than any other cleanser I've tried.

Pros:

Got the result after first use
Cleaned out my acne

Cons:

Very drying
Skin became very oily after couple months of continuos using
Got acne scars

I really liked when I first purchased it. I got horrible breakouts and couple of blemishes so the Clinique helped to calm my skin and kept acne under control. After couple of weeks of using it, I started getting acne scars. I never had acne scars in my life. I guess this product was way too harsh on my sensitive skin. After using the product for 3 months I didn't notice any improvements on skin, I've decided to stop using it.

Pros:

-It smells great.
- I love the way it feels on my skin

Cons:

- my face broke out more since I've been using it
- it's expensive

Before using this system, I had periodic break outs but they weren't too bad. Once I started using it (and continued to use it for 4 months) I found my skin was continually breaking out.
