Pros:

I purchased the starter set for my teenage daughter. Used twice a day, her skin totally clears up in 2-3 days. Works great and is easy.

Cons:

Nothing major. Can get some flakiness but with ANY acne product, you HAVE to use daily sunscreen to help with flakiness. If still an issue, just use the BP lotion every other day.

I've worked in the cosmetic/skincare business in the past and this is far the most simple and effective system to use. This works really well. Part of clearing the skin is flakiness but it goes away and you gotta use sunscreen or you will stay flaky.

Pros:

Clinique acne system worked great for me. As an athlete I have had pretty bad acne for about 3 years now. I recently tried clinique and it cleared acne around jaw, mouth and forehead. worked wonderful

Cons:

I use the Foam Cleanser, the bar of soap and toner and mosturizer everyday, and everything but the cleanser twice a day(as directed by assistants) made my face really really dry, checking with consultant today about it. i will give feedback

worked realy well, except dryness. i would highly recommend this to any athlete, the main thing the constultants told me was people who wear a foundation when wearing make up need to make sure to wash it off at night before you go to bed. **At night i used- 1. Foam Cleanser 2. Mild Bar of Clinique acne soap 3. Toner 4. Moisturizer **Morning i used- 1. Mild Bar of Clinique acne soap 2. Toner 3. Moisturizer

Pros:

Cleared up my face completely! I had the worst acne anyone could imagine. I was on a antibiotic called Tetracycline but not anymore! Thanks to this Clinique system my face is completely acne-free (just a few scars still).

Cons:

I have nothing to complain about.

Anyone who has tried everything that didn't work, try Clinique Acne Solutions. You will see the difference right away. It keeps your skin feeling oil free like it's not going to break out. I've tried going to an estician for facials, pro-active, Tetracycline, Retina-Micro but nothing has worked as successfully as Clinique Acne Solutions. I'm telling you, this stuff works and this is coming from someone who had given up and figured nothing took away acne!!!!!! Try it! And it's only $50 bucks with tax I mean c'mon! I would literally pay over $100 for this stuff - that's how good it works! :)

Pros:

Return Policy (90 days at the Bay,) full size lasted me 4 months so far. $17.50/month

Cons:

It's expensive, doesn't clear up skin, makes pores larger, gave me blemishes, DOES NOT HELP TEENAGERS WITH EXISTING ACNE!!!!!!I have to wake up 10 minutes earlier in the morning because that's how long it takes to use this system

Okay, so i've used this thing for 4 months now. I was so excited when i got it because Clinique is supposed to be a good brand. My face was absolutely horrible when I first bought this. The lady told me my face would clear up in 2 or 3 weeks. The time went by, nothing cleared. Then i was told up to 8 weeks. still nothing. Then the same lady told me nothing can clear up skin completely (so then why should i spend this much money on something that is doing the exact same thing as something for $5? My results are the exact same as when i was using Clean&Clear) May help some people, not me. I broke out more in areas that were once clear. I have scars all over my face. Don't use this if u have existing acne. Which is completely absurd since it's supposed to clear it up. I'm going to try it for 2 more months because i heard ur supposed to stick with a product for 6 months before switching. DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY OR YOUR TIME! GO TO THE DERMATOLOGFIST INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

It made SO much of my acne clear up!!!

Cons:

Does not cure or prevent acne 100 percent...but what does?

I used so many products including Proactive, nuetrogena acne skin care, home remedies, and even detox dieting. Then my friend told me how her Clinique Clarifying lotion (II) worked for her and I gave it a try. I saw results immediatly the next day and since then used it twice a day. I had a big cluster of small annoying pimples around my chin and cheeks and huge cystic pimples all over my chin and jawline, it was so embarrassing. Now my those small cluster of pimples are COMPLETELY gone and my cystic acne has gone away too (I get a little from time to time but nothing like it use to be). I feel I owe a lot to this product. Everyone's face is different but it is worth a try. Also, inform your doc or derm if your skin condition is not good, because some people's acne is actually a skin bacteria infection (aka staph infection) that can be treated by certain anti-biotics. Best wishes and never give up!

Pros:

the face wash is really refreshing

Cons:

One of the products gave me a red, itchy rash all over my face. Toner smells like straight alcohol.

I've heard this product works great for many people, but I'm fair with sensitive skin and ended up with a red, itchy rash all over my face after two days of use. I know it wasn't the benzoyl peroxide because I use spectragel now and it's fine. If you're going to try this product, be sure to get the trial kit and make sure you can return it, just in case. Their all about eyes gel works wonders though, for anyone with tightness around the eyes.

Pros:

NO MORE CLOGGED PORES!!! No more greasy skin.

Cons:

None noticed yet.

I started using this after Proactiv, Murad, Neutrogena, retin-A and the Benzoil Peroxide offered from Dan @ acne.org. None cleared my pores and stopped my acne that well. I am in my late thirties and have been fighting acnes since my teens. My clogged pores (on my chin, hairline, chin line) have only been bad the last few years. I am guessing it is the combination of the salicylic acid AND benzoil peroxide that works for me. I have slightly greasy skin. I was totally skeptical as I have tried other Clinique product with NO LUCK. This actually worked for me.

Cons:

My face had moderate acne breakouts and became extremely worse after two weeks of using the products.

I used the three step products and they made my acne way worse. I paid for the expensive brand name and I should have stuck with the drug store brands.

Pros:

Good fragrance, very effective, good for sensitive skin

Cons:

Will dry skin out if you do not use another moisturizer!!

I have tried EVERYTHING short of going to the dermatologist... The same thing happened at first as what happened with the other products: my acne got a little worse... HOWEVER this actually cleared it up. I also use the Dramatically different lotion, 7 Day scrub, and acne spot healing gel and I only use clinique make up... since I've switched to this, my skin has gotten SO much better! even though it's a little pricey, it's worth it for great skin! there is also a starter kit which is smaller and less expensive, basically so you can see if it works for you, but my skin didn't really get dramatically better until after i had started my second set, so give it time.
