Pros:

Skin cleared up after 2 weeks a little

Cons:

Made more complexion greasy, flaky, peel more, and breakout

This product is too expensive for what it dishes out. Made my skin overall worse.

Pros:

clear the acne initially

Cons:

then getting pimple, after pimple and pimple again
make the skin so dry especially at the edge of lips

did not work for me at all. i really regret bought this. the salesgirl said the acne appears and appears because of purging effect. then, i wait and wait till 6 months, there was no improvement of disappearing acne and scars. so i started to quit use this 3 step anti blemish solution. i'm back using loreal white perfect facial cleanser and just use clinique compact powder for make up. no foundation because my skin is sensitive to foundation. i also take vitamin E and vitamin C from Shaklee for the internal treatment for my skin. now, i feel much better.

Pros:

None

Cons:

This stuff just smelled awful and dried out my skin . It really did nothing for my acne!

Well all i can say is that I'm disappointed in Clinique. I was so down in the dumps about my acne and i spent A LOT of money on all of this for nothing . I really used it all unti it was finished, I gave it a good 2 months chance with no result at all .It smelled bad too ... soooo bad. I could have bought a bar of dove soap (would have smelled way better) and expected it to clear my face. I guess thinking something is better just because its expensive was not true in this case.

Pros:

Return Policy (90 days at the Bay,) full size lasted me 4 months so far. $17.50/month

Cons:

It's expensive, doesn't clear up skin, makes pores larger, gave me blemishes, DOES NOT HELP TEENAGERS WITH EXISTING ACNE!!!!!!I have to wake up 10 minutes earlier in the morning because that's how long it takes to use this system

Okay, so i've used this thing for 4 months now. I was so excited when i got it because Clinique is supposed to be a good brand. My face was absolutely horrible when I first bought this. The lady told me my face would clear up in 2 or 3 weeks. The time went by, nothing cleared. Then i was told up to 8 weeks. still nothing. Then the same lady told me nothing can clear up skin completely (so then why should i spend this much money on something that is doing the exact same thing as something for $5? My results are the exact same as when i was using Clean&Clear) May help some people, not me. I broke out more in areas that were once clear. I have scars all over my face. Don't use this if u have existing acne. Which is completely absurd since it's supposed to clear it up. I'm going to try it for 2 more months because i heard ur supposed to stick with a product for 6 months before switching. DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY OR YOUR TIME! GO TO THE DERMATOLOGFIST INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope! didn't work
This didn't do anything for me and I returned it - the store was very gracious to take it back even though I had used most of it...but I was told I could return it if it didn't work so I did

Pros:

- Works fast
- Non-perfumed
- Good organised as a kit
- May reduce acne

Cons:

- Dries out the skin over time
- Turns skin into a sheet of paper
- Too harsh lotion

I was using the 3 steps about six months and at the beginning it was Ok, though it doesn't clear up my face but reduced the pimples, I had to deal with 2-3 a week. Over time my skin began to turn red gradually and after that I noticed that it is so dry that I need more of the 3 step which made my face glowing but didn't effectively moisturize it. After a few months my face felt as if I had leather instead of skin, and I began also getting bigger red bumps. Then I stopped it and decided to try another system. Unfortunately, now I have to take some break because of the overdriness and the destructive causes of the natural balance of the skin, because over time that's what this product has done. I now only wash my face twice a day with Cetaphil and treat the pimples locally, but I am feeling better, because after all I love my skin and want to give her love. I recommend the product if you want to try the Clinique system, but I would not recommend it for long-term use and be kept as an effective regiment.
