Pros:

Clears up acne; smooths skin; evens skin tone.

Cons:

It's expensive and I go through it quickly.

Clinique Acne Solutions works well for me, but I need to switch some things up to get the best results. Instead of using the medicated moisturizer that comes with the Acne Solutions kit, I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. It's oil-free, light-weight, and it absorbs quickly. This gel has never made me break out or experience flaky skin, as some oil-free moisturizers do. The Acne Solutions cleansing foam and clarifying lotion (toner) do wonders for my skin when I use them consistently twice a day. My only complaint it that the bottles are rather small and I go through the products quite quickly, meaning I have to pay almost $30 a month for skincare (I need to replace the moisturizer far less often.) I love this system; it just needed a few personal touches.

Pros:

None

Cons:

It made my face break out worse than it has in YEARS!!

I heard wonderful things about Clinique, but was SO disapointed to find that it made my Acne SO MUCH WORSE! My skin hasn't looked or felt this bad in years! Proactive works a lot better for me.

Pros:

Nice Packaging,

Cons:

Dries out skin, makes you BREAK OUT MORE.

*I had a couple of small pimples when i started the kit, I wanted something to fade out the old red scars. Heard good things about the product from so many people and close friends... so tried it for almost a month only to have grown a farm of BIGGER pimples clustered around my forehead. I have Not Broken out this bad for almost a year. So disappointed...I had such high hopes in Clinique... Im probably better off with Proactive, even though they're both a Joke.

Pros:

I love everything about the UK version of this range (Anti-Blemish Solutions).

Cons:

The moisturiser in the US version of the range (Anti-Blemish) made my face swell a bit, especially around the eyes, even though I didn't apply it there! It contains benzoyl peroxide and reacted badly for me. The UK moisturiser is fantastic though.

I would recommend the Clinique range, but only for light acne. It's not for moderate or severe acne.

Pros:

It helps for like the first 3 or 4 days -__-

Cons:

IT DRIED MY SKIN OUT LIKE CRAZY! I stopped for a while and decided to try it again but it just dried my skin out! especially the toner. So i stopped using that. The foam cleanser just dries out my face even more. I dont even know what to do now.

DRIES OUT YOUR SKIN AND MAKES YOU BREAK OUT MORE. I guess it doesnt happen to everyone so it can work on others.

Pros:

I used the moisturizing gel and liquid facial soap and it got rid of my redness and most of my pimples almost immediately. The moisturizing gel really works and it made my used to be dry face feel really good and smooth and clean.

Cons:

It can be expensive, and there are some spots where the pimples didn't completely go away.

It works 99% of the time, and it really made my skin feel good.

Pros:

Made my skin feel clean and smooth, less oily.

Cons:

Never completley got rid of my acne. Totally unconsistent. Dries out face horribly for the first week.

Don't use it. This really does not work consistently. It only began to actually CLEAR my face after I'd been using it for a month and now it's gone to pot again. Also, the "moisturizer"is so small and I had to buy it again for $16!! And it is the key ingredient because when I ran out my face was horrible. I would say only to use this if you have light acne.

Pros:

My skin is less oily, and very smooth.
Cleared up most of my acne

Cons:

Still get random little breakouts. nothing too severe.
Takes a while for skin to clear up (couple of weeks)

currently using the REGUALR Clinique 3-step (not the acne solutions) I started breaking out real bad on my forehead in February. Then it spread to my chin. I started using the REGULAR 3-step and my acne is getting a lot better. It also makes my skin a lot smoother and healthier. If the normal 3-step works well, Acne Solutions probably works wonders for even more severe acne

Pros:

Made my skin feel smoother, Cleared up existing acne around chin.

Cons:

Drying, but bearable. Doing nothing to help me with my scarring!!

I don't have alot of acne, just very persistant and constant since I was about 14. I've tried alot of drugstore brands, plus tersasceptic, clindoxyl gel, and differin and nothing helped. I finally broke down and got this clinique system, and I think that it's working more because I am using it twice a day regularly. I hope it continues to work because I am enjoying it's results!!

Pros:

Makes your face feel great! Doesn't take up a lot of time. Works really fast. Gets rid of all whiteheads and blackheads.

Cons:

Doesn't help with inflamed, red pimples. A little pricy. The smell of the toner is very strong.

I used proactiv before this and I like this a lot better. It works great at getting rid of whiteheads and blackheads, but if you're acne is bad, i wouldn't recommend it. I let the soap soak into your skin for about an hour before washing it out at night, and it works a lot better than if you just wash it off fast. Really Great Product!
