Pros:

-Saw results after one day of use
-Works fast
-Clears skin and keeps it clean
-Simple and easy

Cons:

-If you skip using it for a day the acne will come back.
-Dries out skin in places around the nose and mouth if you don't use the moisturizer, and if you use products other than this.

Really good and worth its price to the last penny. I fell head over heels in love with this product when I started using this. I'm teenager so my acne is pretty bad but its not totally severe. I've used every single acne product you can think of and none of them have worked like this. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get rid of acne forever! :)

Pros:

Works fast, they guarantee it so you really have nothing to lose

Cons:

Nothing

This is the best acne product out there. I have tried everything...prescription creams, antibiotics, proactiv, skinID, Aveda, natural remedies...you name it. Nothing seemed to work for me. I have been trying to find something that works like this for 12 years. I read all the reviews and decided all of that positive feedback might be worth a try. Boy, it was. If you don't use a moisturizer along with it, it will dry you out. I use Clinique's Moisture Surge and I only use the acne solutions clearing moisturizer at night. Well worth it, and now I finally feel comfortable in my own skin.

I don't have major acne, but I tend to breakout from time to time. This system is amazing and very effective. My skin was clear within a week's time of using the products. I've used Proactiv, which takes a very long time for me to see results, after three weeks I was through with that! The only thing about the Clinique Acne system is it's very drying, which I don't mind in this humid weather, and the moisturizer doesn't have spf. So I don't really use the products unless I'm having breakout (like now) and my skin's already clearing up.

Pros:

It works! This product is a dream for adult acne.

I developed cystic acne around my mouth and chin at 24, two years ago. I constantly had three-six large cysts - before one would disappear another would come up in almost the very same spot. I went on Diane 35 to combat the acne and began using prescription benzoyl peroxide creams. Diane 35 reduced the size and number of the cysts, but I still broke out. I went off the Diane 35 and looked for other solutions. To my amazement, since I began using Clinique my skin has completely cleared! It looks better now than that of my non-acne prone friends. My scars are finally healing and I feel confident enough to go out without makeup on! It is important to use all three steps. I apply the acne solutions mosturizer only to those areas that are prone to breakouts. This helps to reduce the cost of the product too. At first my skin was too dry, but I spoke to the Clinique rep and they recommended that I use the dramatically different moisturizing gel on top of the acne solutions mosturizer if I was drying out. Since my skin is now totally clear, I use this all over my face twice every day as a fourth step. While my breakouts were still disappearing, I used the it only as needed to prevent dryness. I think the price is a small one to pay for great skin! If you wait until Clinique bonus time to stock up, you get lots of free makeup. Clinique is also great about returns and stands by their products, so if this doesn't work for you, you can take it back. One final thing: I like the soap bar a lot more than the foaming cleanser. It does a better job of taking off my makeup, it's cheaper and it lasts longer too. I've been using my current bar for six months and I've still got another month or two to go.

Pros:

Not a harsh scrub,
Dries zits and pimples super fast,
Makes skin feel amazing,
Easy to do day and night
Many many more!

Cons:

Dries skin out, recomend using the acne gel moisturizer, also a great product!

I used other brands for my acne, mainly scrubs and other products that used fragrances and high percentages of Benzoyl Peroxide. The foam doesn't irritate my skin and most importantly it doesn't hurt if you rub too hard. The 2nd step (the astringent) really cleans your face and you feel how clean it really is, almost a tingly feeling. At first it stung but now my face is used to it. I used to mix products to increase results but now this is all I use! Along with the Dark Spot Remover and the Acne Solutions foundation and powder, my skin is looking the best it has in years! Also, very inexpensive in comparison to Estee Lauder or other brands, so glad I discovered Clinique!

Pros:

- reduces oiliness
- reduces redness
- peels dead layers of skin
- washes off make-up completely

Cons:

- expensive
- requires patience to work

I've only seen results after 9 weeks of using this product.have spent a fortune thus far but I've just started to see my cystic acne clear up. I was just about to stop using Clinique,bt jst like the lady at the counter said "be patient".I love this product and don't see myself using anything else.It's not a mgic potion, your hormones also play a huge role in acne, especially with me being 24 and suffering since I was 18.It does get much worse before it starts to get better, you just need to hang in there. Think of it as an investment in your skin, you have to live with your face for the rest of your life, make the sacrifice and get Clinique!

Pros:

Cleared acne
Even skin tone
Readily available at department and nicer drug stores

Cons:

Relatively Expensive (but cheaper than ProActiv)

I posted a review when I first tried this 1 year ago and am pleased to say it's still my product of choice. After using ProActiv for 5 years, it suddenly stopped working for me. I picked Clinique based on reviews and because moisturizer contains 2% benzoyl peroxide as suggested by this site. I've since changed up the Clinique products. Here's my routine: -Clinique Liquid Facial Soap #3 for Oily Skin (Clinique's acne face wash is too drying) -Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion (good exfoliant) -Clinique's Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer (this is clearly not a moisturizer but contains the required 2% BP for clear skin) -Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel (really does moisturize and leave skin smooth) At night, I only wash my face and do not add an moisturizer or BP as I like for my skin to breathe. Makeup always makes me breakout so I avoid all foundations. Hope someone reads this and finds it helpful!!

I noticed an improvement in my skin within a week. I love Clinique. My skin looks and feels amazing. This is the first product I've tried that didn't require a perscription. I would recommend this to anyone. You really don't have anything to lose. You can return the product for a full refund if purchased from a department store. Although you won't need to. Clinique has a lot of amazing products!

Pros:

Works amazingly!
Reduces oil on face.
Clears up acne (even the left over bump).
Doesn't dry out skin.
Leaves it feeling soft and fresh.

Cons:

A little pricey.

I love this product! I started using Proactiv for about 2 or 3 months, and it wasn't doing anything to my skin. So, I decided to get this product because I heard such good things about it and all those reviews were correct! I completely and totally recommend Clinique Acne Solutions! :D
