Pros:

clears skin
doesn't leave scars
doesn't dry out skin to bad

Cons:

smells bad

I think that this product works great and would buy it again and again. The only problem i had was the smell of the product, it was terrible. I'm 13 and have tried everything including proactiv and it dried out my skin really bad, but this didn't. Ilike it very much and will use it for a long time.

Pros:

This stuff is amazing. I saw results literally overnight. It's allergy free, fragrance free, and genuinely works on acne better than anything else I've ever tried.

Cons:

It will dry your skin out. Your skin will be smooth, but certain areas will dry out. Alleviate this with some Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (by Clinique also). It will help.

There is no other product line on the market that will work as well as this Solution Set. It's a little pricey, but well worth it. I've been using it for less than 2 weeks, and my skin is soft, smooth, and problem free.

Pros:

Made skin smooth....

Cons:

Too smooth. It severely dried out my skin to the point that it felt like it would rip if I smiled or frowned! It also made my skin incredibly red and itchy. The moisturizer does not moisturize at all!!!

It hurts! For the first couple days that I used the line I was very optimistic because of how tight and smooth my skin felt. I did not notice that it was making the acne better but I figured it would take time so I continued to burn the crap out of my skin for a couple more weeks. After two weeks or so and tons of whining that my face hurt I cut back on how often I was using the products which helped the redness and burning to subside but never helped the original problem....my acne! I continued to use it because I had heard great reviews in a couple magazines but it never did work! I have used items I purchased at Walmart that were more effective and would suggest saving your money for some pretty smelling shampoo! :)

Pros:

Excellent fresh feeling after using the cleanser. Seems to prevent breakouts and keep reddness down.

Cons:

The moisturizer runs out faster than the cleanser and the toner.

Overall, Clinique makes really good quality products from what I can see. The Acne Solutions is no exception. It is good for those of us with oily skin as it seems to keep the oily spots under control throughout the day. Also, would be good for sensitive skin too.

Pros:

fast, balances skin, reduces redness, for the first time ever i'm getting compliments on my skin

Cons:

alittle pricey but more than worth it and it lasts a very long time one pump of each is all you need.

i used the 3 step acne kit and had fast results but plateued. My skin wasn't bad but wasn't clear. REcently i decided to just use the mild liquid cleanser for oily skin and moisturing gel (amazing stuff) my skin cleared quickly, I'm not afraid to go out with no makeup on anymore. And when i added the total turnaround to my night routine my scars started fading while helping to clear the small pimples that are left. Skip the toner and expect great results!

Pros:

Makes the skin feel smooth and cleaner than ever before

Cons:

Smell but then you get used to it. Expensive too.

I have used this product religiously for 4 months now. My skin has never felt this good. Last year, I had a sudden series of breakouts, almost once every week. I used neutrogena which worked initially but then I got sensitive to it. Then I tried proactiv, which completely worsened my skin. After that I stopped using everything. My friend recommended Clinique acne solutions. At first, I was very skeptical. Once I started using it...everyday was a new day for my skin. The first 2 weeks my face went dry but then I used the superdefense combination oily moisturizer which really helped for the dryness. From then on my skin was smooth, well conditioned and healthy. Now I use all facial products from clinique. It's been a couple of months since I got any big, ugly acne. As long as you are not sensitive to this product, there is no reason why it won't work for you.

Pros:

Very refreshing
and I'll let you know more as I continue the use of the product

Cons:

No concerns yet,
I'll let you know if any come up

I am in grade 11 and I have had acne since the minute I stepped foot into highschool - I used many, many products and nothing seemed to work - I used the Clean and clear line for a very long time and it seemed to treat my acne but it did not help to prevent it - I wanted something that would do both - A few people reccomended Clinque so I booked an appointment with a specialist who worked there at the bay in a mall close to my house. She examined my skin and advised I used the Clinque Acne Line. This all happend today. I have washed my face twice already since - Once in the morning and once in the evening and so far - nothing wrong has happend - but I will keep you all updated becaues I know how it feels to have acne - it sucks - and if i find a product that helps me, i will make sure it finds its way into the hands of other people so that they can get the same help i did. Wish me luck. I'm just trying to stay positive and have faith that Clinque will clear up my skin.

Pros:

When it "finally" worked, it made my skin soft and supple. My skin looked glowy and dewy for a while.

Cons:

Made my skin feel very dry, it was as if I was wearing a mask...this was even after I used the moisturizer. This system also made my skin very flaky for a very looong time.

Do not use if you can get a hold of more affordable Acne Systems like PROACTIV. I had thought that it worked fine for the first few weeks of using it, because my ACNE did go away, but the dryness and the flakiness certainly did not. Save your money.

Pros:

evens skin tone, controls oil, controls acne, leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed!

Cons:

havent experienced any yet!

I tried proactive, countless over-the-counter cleansers, and nothing ever worked! Then a friend recommended Clinique and so far, it has done a better job in just 4 days than any of the other products I used for months at a time!
