Pros:

AMAZING!!!!!!
reduced pimple size, redness, scarring in just one day!!!!!

Cons:

A bit drying, but nothing a little moisturizer couldn't fix; toner stings a tiny bit, but I suspect that will go away once my skin becomes accustomed to it

Its amazing I have Asian skin that's super sensitive, prone to scarring and turns red whenever it's irritated But this system didn't make my skin red and it actually decreased the redness. My dad actually commented on how much clearer my skin looked after one use. Also scars faded, especially when I used the clinique even better moisturizer

Pros:

Cleard up my acne right away, I havent had any new breakouts since i started using it.

Cons:

My eyelids are on FIRE! I think its my skin trying to adjust to something new.

Clinique products are amazing. Im a die hard Clinique freak and i love everything they have, so im convinced that this is going to work.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I'm almost convinced this product gave me Perioral Dermatitis. Aftter 4 days of using it, my skin became very dry and itchy, and I broke out in a rash all over my eyelids, mouth, and jawline. My skin is now bumpy and red

I'm going to see my doctor ASAP to get treatment for my Perioral Dermatitis.
November 10, 2009

Pros:

After the first few days my skin seemed clearer. But for some reason i got about five new pimples. So i guess i'll wait and see what it does for me in the next month or so.

Cons:

It makes my skin feel a bit tight. I wouldnt say my skin is softer. My skin i still gets oily just the same as before i started using this product.

i dont think its really worth it, for now at least. Just like every other acne treatment like proactive and all, they all DO NOT WORK! After im done with this product im going to a doctor! If it doesnt help of course. Good luck to who ever is using it. Also, keep in mind that certain things work better for certain skin types.

Pros:

keeps skin tone consistant- if moisturizer isn't used

Cons:

dries out skin and acne multiplies and multiplies

I at first bought the first two steps and used those what happened was they worked together to keep my skin from breaking out any worse. Then I decided to buy the moisturizer because I thought that would make a differance and would clear skin up. No, that was the last thing it did, it dried up my skin and gave me breakouts in places on my face where i had never had them before. The product isnt really worth the money

Pros:

makes skin soft

Cons:

made acne wayy worse!

I used to have about 4 pimples (small) on only my forehead i switched to this and have like 5 on my cheeks and like 10 grouped together on my forehead and 1 on my chin. its AWFUL. but i'veonly used it for almost 2 weeks and i hear it better. I sure hope so!

Pros:

love the gel spot treatment ans basically the whole line!!!

Cons:

mostly none! but somtetimes i wake up with some SMALL whiteheads that i have to pop but they never get inflamed or anything.

i used soooo many different acne lines and they just didnt work nearly as well or as quickly as clinique does.
September 7, 2009

Pros:

Less Oily

Cons:

Acne still hanging around

Of all the products that I have used (and its been a lot) I like this line from Clinique. I have oily skin and using this product line I do not experience the oily skin like I did before. I have not experienced any drying. If you can afford it I would recommend it. Its great! Course what works for one individual will not necessarily work for other. Best of luck!

Pros:

Nice packaging.

Cons:

Made my skin break out, EVEN WORSE, even after 2 weeks. Made skin dry, irritated some, very expensive.

Go for something stronger, and less expensive.
August 7, 2009

Pros:

Pretty packaging lol, Nice foamy wash,Easy to use, Keeps excessive oil under control.

Cons:

Made skin feel extremely tight and dry, the smell gets annoying, did not help my acne very much. Expensive...

I have been using the Acne Solutions Foaming Wash, medicated toner, & medicated moisturizer. I started out twice a day like they say to but it OVERDRIED my face so badly. I literally couldn't smile or talk after using it for a while because my face felt soo tight, it would crack and get flaky. I reduced to once every other day but it still gives a tight feeling after each use. I am really disappointed and so is my mom because she had a lot of hope in Clinique because its her favorite brand. There's just too much harsh stuff going on because everything is medicated...BUT the spot treatment is my favorite. It works well, some pimples are reduced in size overnight and thats the only thing I liked from this system.
