Pros:

Um..None

Cons:

Expensive
Doesnt Work
Have the shake the toner before each use

After using Proactiv Extra Strength for the past 5 years I noticed that my skin was becoming immune to it and I was breaking out more and more. I decided to try Clinque's Acne Solutions because I read some reviews on the Clinque site and it sounded like it could work. I was mistaken! My face got so much worse! I had 6-10 LARGE INFLAMED pimples around my nose and mouth. Then I got all my baby acne back. My forhead was covered in tiny whiteheads. I hadnt had those in years! After using for a month I decided to go back to Proactiv and WITHIN THREE days, my skin looked noticeablely better. I will never stray from Proactiv again!

Pros:

Doesn't make my skin break out more

Cons:

Doesn't ever completely go away

This product is not consitent at all. I've been using it for a while now and it made a slight difference in the begining. This is the best product I've used so far but it still never gives me completely clear skin. I'm gonna keep trying it for another month and then I'm giving up hope..

Pros:

Purchased it from Dillards, and the rep did a skin test and explained to me how clinique was different from Proactiv and Nutrogena the two products I've used in the past. Which aided in me choosing to buy it and try it today.

Cons:

Price got me ..its a bit pricy. If you buy the sample size it was 39.00 for a month and for the full size it was $9 bucks more. If I like it, that means I would end up spending almost almost $90 bucks if I got the trail size.

Proactive didn't work well for me--made me try out and itch ( tried for 6 months). Currently using neutrogena--but its not preventing acne. So i'll be back to give updates in two weeks on how Clinique works for me. Rep at store made a follow up appointment, and told me that if it doesn't work I can return the product--so nothing to loose really.

Pros:

The price of the starter kit is on par with other similar products, and if you purchase at Clinique Bonus time, free gifts are always thrown in. My skin is very oily, and it reduces oil in just one day. Everything is clearer within 2 days.

Cons:

I wish the starter kit lasted long than one month, but that's not really the product's fault.

The package says to use it in the morning and in the evening, and that's the best way. If you use more frequently, you'll get dry skin. Less frequently, and it might not work for you. Do not put the toner or the lotion near the eye area - dryness will occur, and they weren't really intended for that area anyway.

Cons:

completely dried out my skin to the point i had blotchy red marks all over my cheeks, the driest part of my face. and constant stinging of the face with out even touching.

start with small applications to let ur skin adust to the amounts of acid, if skin is sensitive.

Pros:

I got my money back, easy return

Cons:

I reacted TERRIBLY to this

I used this last night and my face tarted itching right away. I woke up this morning with a HUGE swollen eyelid, I had to ice it to make it go down. My whole face was red, itchy, and irritated.

Pros:

WORKS!

Cons:

NONE!

After one week, my face is completely clear! I noticed results after only one day. I recommend using moisture surge with it because it can be drying. Also to decrease the drying effect, I only use it in the morning and it works great!

Pros:

it made my skin less red and the acne less noticeable, albeit the acne never actually going away.

Cons:

the acne stayed, if not more appeared, and it made my skin dry and blotchy, staying even when i used the dramatically different moisturizing gel as others have recommended on here.

i suppose its only my skin, because some positive reviews are on here, stating the miracle like results from this product. overall, it doesn't seem to be working for me, but i will continue use and if my skin quality seems to change, i will post another review stating so. i suggest the trial kit first, and stick with it for the entire month, because it does take a while to start working.
