Pros:

Eveything about it! Started to use it for my super oily skin and moderate teen acne. My skin is now super soft and smooth.

Cons:

Nothing at all! (except the price but is worth every penny.)

Used it after I tried Netrogena and clean and clear which worked but not as much as Clinique 3-step acne system. My skin looks amazing and I use the TURNAROUND CONCENTRATE which is the best combination EVER! Recommed to any one!

DRIES OUT FACE, MADE ME BRAKE OUT MORE ..

DO NOT SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY ON A PRODUCT THATS NOT WORTH IT! NOW I USE CLEAN AND CLEAR AND MY FACE LOOKS MUCH BETTER, BUT I STILL HAVE THE HIDIOUS SCARS FROM THE GREAT PIMPLES THAT CLINIQUE ACNE SOLUTIONS CAUSED ME!

Pros:

The cleanser feels great on my skin and the toner is gentle and doesn't dry out my skin. The spot healing gel works wonders!

Cons:

None

This is a fabulous product. The moisturizer is unnecessary I purchased this product at Nordstrom and the woman who sold it to me told me the moisturizer was not necessary, and she was correct. It is slightly pricey but I highly recommend it considering all the acne products I have tried. In all honesty this product is great but pricey, if you can not afford it proactiv is about half the price, many people say bad things about it but when i used it, it worked well in my opinion I just don't like the roughness of the cleanser making me switch to Clinique.

Pros:

- Noticeably less pimples in the first few days of usage
- Pores on my nose are almost completely invisible

Cons:

- Cleansing Foam dries your skin. If you don't use any lotion, you'll need to, and even when you do it's still dry.
- Everything except the cleansing foam burns and it feels like your face is on fire in addition to the dryness.
- E-X-P-E-N-S-I-

Not worth it. I'm only 15, so I haven't tried that many things, although this by far did work the best for what I've tried (Clearasil does not work with a crap), however, within five days of use, I quit because it simply dried my skin out too much. There were less bumps, however, but the redness did not fade. By the end of the day, my face was cracked all over and looked a mess, and I had to use tweezers to peel most of it off. Each day! I wouldn't recommend this to anybody unless they are absolutely desperate and have no other options.

Pros:

Really does work for most pimples, can get your money back if it doesn't work for you.

Cons:

Can be drying if you aren't careful.

I tried this VERY reluctantly after a friend recommended it. I am very pleased with the results, although it's not a miracle cure (but then again, what is?) It is a little slower for pimples under the skin, but for those that are already "erupted", it will get them gone amazingly quickly. It also does a decent job of controlling oil. Probably the best product I've ever used and I've used a lot. For those worried about the price, keep in mind you do not need to use tons of it. Just put a light even layer over your face and don't spot treat too much or you will get all dried out. These bottles last forever. Also, most Clinique counters will give you your money back if you try it for a month and aren't happy, which is a definite plus!

Pros:

Great product, works well

Cons:

smell

It's a great product, it combines the active ingredients of both Proactiv and Tri-Clear, it leaves your skin dry and reduces shine. The only thing is that it smells of witch hazel, which i think smells like BBQ sauce or a dog's rawhide bone YUCK!!

Pros:

I have nothing good to say about this product.

Cons:

My acne wasnt that bad to start out with. I have a few here and there. My sister bought me this acne set for christmas. I been using it for two week now and it seem like all it doing is breaking me out more. I want to return it. Not worth my money

dont waste your money or chance on this product. It doesnt work for anything.

Pros:

It was free through the Clinique/alloy beauty boot camp

Cons:

I just started using it yesterday and I already had a very red itchy rash on my neck and cheeks. I had a party to go to today and it was not fun to look like this. Also, it dried out the skin under my eyes and the moisturizer was actually flakey.

Terrible products!!! Very harsh on my skin. Clinique skin care products are terrible. I'm going back to my Paula's Choice...it works really well and it is gentle. As I sit here writing this, my neck and face are itching very badly from the rash it gave me. Don't try it, even if it is free.

Pros:

Made the pores on my nose slightly smaller.

Cons:

Made everything else ten times worse!

This stuff really did a number on my skin. When I ordered it, I was having a particularly bad stress and hormone related break out, but by the time it arrived in the mail, I only had 3 very small pimples left. I had read so many rave reviews about it, that I decided to try it anyway, hoping that it would at least keep my breakouts to a minimum. Boy was I wrong! The morning after I first used it, my three small pimples were almost gone, however; in a few days, I broke out in horrible cysts all over my cheeks, chin, jaw, neck, and even forehead (FYI, I have NEVER, in my entire life, had a cyst on my forehead. NEVER!). Some of the reviews have said not to give up on it, as you may breakout worse at first, and so I planned to keep using it for a month, but I just washed my makeup off and found three more shiny new cysts. In the one week that I have been using this kit, I have developed more than 10 brand new cysts! This is the worst my skin has been, maybe ever, at least since I was a teenager. Enough is enough! I will definitely be sending it back!
