Pros:

Works wonders for the first 2 weeks
Easy to use
Doesn't burn/peel/dry out skin

Cons:

After 2 weeks it stopped working and I am back where I started
The lotion is very irritating when you have any inflammation
Costly

It does work but it doesn't last unfortunatly, I am waiting till it runs out then moving on to a new product.

Pros:

Not too pricey (compared to Proactiv and some of the more recognized products)
Long-lasting
Makes skin feel fresh

Cons:

Doesn't wash off makeup

I bought Clinique because it was recommended by several friends who also have acne. I am using several things and it has only been ONE week and I have noticed improvements in my skin overall. If I am wearing make-up: Remove it with Cetaphil Use the three step system Moisturize with Ponds Clarant B (redness remover) I am also taking DIM supplements because I already know my acne is due to imbalanced hormones (tested by my doc) and I didn't want to take birth control so I tried some natural alternatives to balance the hormones. It could be a combination of everything but my face does feel healthier and although I broke out slightly in the first couple of days, everything looks like it's healing and I don't have new breakouts. Clinique doesn't smell fancy, but hey- it's medicine. My skin is pretty tough so it doesn't burn at all for me, but it is drying so I always use a moisturizer after. Also- after a week's use, it looks like I barely put a dent into the amount, so I think this will easily last me two months if not more.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This stuff just smelled awful and dried out my skin . It really did nothing for my acne!

Well all i can say is that I'm disappointed in Clinique. I was so down in the dumps about my acne and i spent A LOT of money on all of this for nothing . I really used it all unti it was finished, I gave it a good 2 months chance with no result at all .It smelled bad too ... soooo bad. I could have bought a bar of dove soap (would have smelled way better) and expected it to clear my face. I guess thinking something is better just because its expensive was not true in this case.

Pros:

- cleared some of my acne

Cons:

- very expensive for not much product
- very drying
- still experienced breakouts

I just used the moisturizer for the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. It definitely was NOT moisturizing, but it made a noticeable difference with my acne. It's way more economical and effective just to use a separate BP and moisturizer, though.

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:

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.

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
