April 18, 2009

Pros:

It WORKS! brightens and tightens skin, even texture and tone

Cons:

(read bottom line)

This is the most amazing thing I have ever used and I have used a lot (proactive, biore, differin, zianna, etc.) However, 1st step causes skin to be soo clean I am amazed that it doesnt take to much moisture. I can honestly rub my hand accross my face and have the squaky sound. 2nd step- is drying causes face to be red temporarily. 3rd step- very light, needs more moisture. The side effects like redness and irration seem extreme but only last for about 10 minutes, then you get the most amazing skin. I have had moderate to severe acne for the last few years and this is the best thing I have ever. I even was asked to model for a skin care line all thanks to CLINIQUE!!!

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.
February 5, 2009

Pros:

got rid of most of my acne

Cons:

dries skin out a little
still get a couple pimples
a bit pricey

i've tried a lot of things, but this is just about the only thing that keeps my face fairly nice. i don't have as many breakouts, but i still do get a few pimples. if you have the money, i would say give it a try
December 24, 2008

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.
November 9, 2008

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!
November 6, 2008

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.
October 28, 2008

Pros:

My skin feels very clean and fresh after I wash.

Cons:

Not cleared up yet.

I feel like I have to stay loyal to this product for more time. So far it has been a little over a month and I feel like my skin in purging itself. Is that possible?
August 4, 2008

Pros:

Cleared my skin up in a few days, the 3rd step (lotion) is fragrance free and is good if you're sensitive to strong smelling perfumes/lotions.

Cons:

Made my skin really dry (and I have oily skin). Don't apply the lotion twice a day as they suggest! Use once a day or every other day!

I only got the acne clarifying lotion, and use with Clearasil daily face wash. Works really well, but make sure you apply sparingly or you will definitely experience dried out, flaky skin!
