Pros:

clearing my skin :)

Cons:

very expensive

ive just recently switched from proactiv to the clinique three step, and i have to say the difference for me is quite remarkable, the redness in my spots is nearly completely gone, my face already feels a lot smoother. All in all im glad i spent the extra money on this, especially if it keeps working the way it has been already. I also got a free mascara and 'take the day off' makeup remover. :)

Pros:

still waiting for a complete effect

Cons:

drying and peeling of the sceen

i first started this last week pf april 2010 due to my forehead and chin acne problem.during my 1st -2nd week usage, my acne really worsen up but on the 3r-4th week it made a lot of improvement--my acne was ALMOST gone on my problematic areas such as the forehead and my chin.However, bigger acne started apprearing on my cheeks, am gonna try to hang on to this product coz im sure that id see the result in about a week or so

Pros:

Not sure if there are any besides Clinique has a good return policy.

Cons:

Expensive, too harsh, and made my blemishes worse. This is supposed to be for any skin type but mine is sensitive and it was not good.

Quit using it and swtiched to Olay foaming face wash for sensitive skin, 50/50 solution cider vinegar for exfoliant, and BP for spot treatment. My skin is getting better but there is an aftermath. I still use Clinique's moisturizing gel but am looking for something else. I would not recommend clinique. This is the 2nd skincare line I have tried and the longer I used, the worse my skin became.

Pros:

This product has saved me tons of heartache in searching for another solution to my acne. I started using this product about two years ago and there is no looking back. I couldn't leave the house to run to the store without make-up before.

Cons:

It is a bit pricey, but now i just time it with clinique bonus time and it seems like a great treat.

My complexion is completly clear now and has been since i started using it. For those of you who had terrible outbreaks with it, it sounds ike maybe an allergic reaction, also it may take up to 6 weeks for your skin to cleanse itself and for the product to work its magic. I highly reccomed this to anyone having acne troubles. I had tried everything including Acutane which is really harsh and quite dangerous. I had struggled with acne since my teens and now i don't have to worry about it. My only wish is i'd found it sooner.

Pros:

smells nice

Cons:

EVERYTHING! please don't buy this product. I was trying to clear up some pimples, so I used this product and it gave me terrible acne all over my face.

I've stopped using it, and am planning to return it for my full refund asap.
October 24, 2009

Pros:

Seems to brighten skin. Reduced break-outs, recudes the healing time acne. My skin is oily, so I don't find it drying like others. It's very nice, just remember to use it regularly.

Cons:

Kinda expensive, but it works. 70 CDN for the three step (full size) kit.

It's good, just know that it is a strong solution and it will take a few weeks for a true result.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Dryness
Doesn't work

After reading other reviews about this product, I was REALLY disappointed when it didn't do a single thing for me except for dry out my skin. If anything, I think it made my acne worse. :(
August 28, 2009

Pros:

Ive just started using the product and it really refreshes my skin unlike the other products that drys it out.

the 2nd step lotion is awsome....when i use a cotton ball and wipe my face with it...i COULD see all the dirt and bad stuff on it.

Cons:

dont buy the big packs..very expensive.I got the small one with the 3 step and everything in it

Its awsome...oh and dont use the product independent follow the 3 steps and it will be great

Pros:

It makes your skin VERY smooth. It also made my acne appear less harsh.

Cons:

Doesn't really prevent zits. Chocolate is my poison when it comes to my face and it didn't prevent them.

Like all acne products, it depends on the person and how often you use them. I've been on mine for about 3 weeks and I've been bad and get lazy and won't wash my face for 2 days or so. But I think if you keep using it religiously I think you will have good results. I've tried other ones and this regimen seems to be working the best for me. I wish people would take that into consideration. That not all acne products work for everyone.

Pros:

it really works well with acne, after a few days i could see my forehead clear up and most of my blackheads. I also have super dry skin and it is super gentle and doesnt dry me out.

Cons:

i still get few breakouts, its a little costly, but ts pretty much worth the price.

its good for acne and gentle on skin, i use it with the 7-day scrub cream and its great:]
