Yesterday I bought Acne Solutions from Clinique and today I will begin using it for a month or 2 or perhaps 1 depending on my skin's reaction. I have a dry and sometimes oily skin due to combing my hair before my forehead's skin causing it to suffer because of not being able to hydrogen leading to small breakouts sometimes. I have a few blackheads and redness on my forehead and a bit along my face. Not much though, I'd just like to get rid of them. I will update to you as soon as my products are depleted. May it be positive, Clinque... may it be.

Pros:

Works in 4 weeks just as it says. Love the foam it's soft and helps x2

Cons:

Worsens during first week. Tonic stings a little and lotion bothers a bit.

Your acne will worsen during the first week but 90% of your acne will be gone in 4 weeks and completly gone after 2 months or less!!!!!! BUT LISTEN IT WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU USE IT CONSTANTLY AND READ DIRECTIONS OR IT WILL BE MESSED UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So buy it IF you are going to use it CONSTANTLY !!!!!!!

Pros:

See my review of Proactiv-Clinique's skin care line is the only thing that has ever helped me, and I spent so much of my life miserable and uncomfortable b/c of huge cystic acne and huge oily pores. Their stuff actually works, even if you're lazy an

Cons:

None, really. I didn't like the emergency gel lotion, so I use the salicylic spot treatement instead. Which is also a good cleanser if you don't feel like washing your face at night (feels like you just had a facial afterwards.)

These are my skin problems-which are happily in check- Clinique helped me with: Oily Oily t-zone prone to black heads and horrific cystic acne and occassional nodules and milia. I use the entire pore minimizer line, and the t-zone treatment actually for once controls the oil and makes your skin feel supple and clean. Acne spot solutions and the post blemish formula. And the #2 3 step solutions. The DDMG actually moisturizes w/out making your skin feel oily and makes it feel velvety.

Pros:

MAKES MY SKIN SOFT AND NOT AS OILY AS IT USED TO BE

Cons:

I KIND OF WISH IT WAS ALL IN ONE....BUT 3 STEPS ISNT THAT BAD

I HAVE TRIED PROACTIVE, BENZACLIN, MURAD, DIFFERIN, ETC AND NOTHING WORKED LIKE THIS. I HAVEN'T BEEN ON IT THAT LONG BUT I SEE A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT. I HAVE NO MORE BIG UGLY PIMPLES. JUST A FEW SMALL ONES.

Pros:

Actually works, no added fragrance which is bad for my sensitive skin, does not dry out skin, and Clinique doesn't test on animals :)

Cons:

The moisturizer does have a light medicine smell from the benzoil peroxide BUT it does go away fast

I'm 30 years old and I have I have tried SO MANY products for my acne, incuding organic products, and nothing had worked better than this. I'm sensitive to smells and my skin is just sensitive in general and I was hesitant to use these products because they do have benzoil peroxide in them (I haven't reacted well to it in the past), but I think that they have the combination right! My skin does not get dried out and flaky, it never feels tight, it doesn't burn...it just feels very comfortable and my acne has cleared up a noticable amount in just a few weeks. I use it twice a day religiously. The lady at the counter said I may need a regular moisturizer if my skin gets too dry, but that hasn't happened yet. I feel like it's a miracle product!

Pros:

-Toner dries out zits well
-moisturizer feels nice and light on skin.
-didnt clog pores

Cons:

-waay too drying.
-The cleanser didnt really clean my face properly -toner is too harsh for sensitive skin due to the high alcohol content.
-moisturizer doesnt do much
-PRICEY

I bought this merely out of desperation, but i was really disappointed as i really wanted to like this stuff. The foam in the cleanser doesnt cleanse well since its too light. The toner is really harsh and drying because of the high alcohol content and really irritates sensitive skin. Even using the moisturizer didnt help. Skin still felt greasy and flaky.

Pros:

Extremely effective, would recommend to anyone suffering from acne!!

Cons:

The exfoliation level can be drying, just apply an oil free moisturizer on top and you will be fine!

I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on numerous acne systems. This is the one that has worked best for me and anyone I've recommended it to. It's funny how people say that they have used this for a year, seeing as how it has only been available for about 5 months. I would know, I work for Clinique.

Pros:

it cleanse your face but it does nothing else. it didn't work for my acnes

Cons:

i would recommend anyone to not use it, it is too expensive and it doesn't work at all

it doesn't work at all. i have been using it for two years and it didn't help at all.
September 3, 2007

Pros:

It helped clear my skin, but ive been using it for three weeks.. and hasnt totally cleared it.

Cons:

No help with scarring, dried my skin out to the point that it was flaking, brings out the pimples at first. Astringent stings.

You have to be consistent with any product you use.. there is going to be pros and cons with every product despite what reviews say.. may it be fragrance or the stinging of the product.. There is also emergency benzoyl cream. its 17.50 canadian i highly recommend you purchase this product.. it works very well.
