Pros:

easy to use, smoot, acne free skin after a couple of weeks, controls breakouts, not as drying as other products

Cons:

a bit pricy, toner runs out faster than the other two steps

i have tried everything'clearasil, neutrogena, proactive, acne free, presciption meds.' and this is the first product that kept my skin acne-free throughout treatment. since acne breakout are hormonal, there is only so much topical acne treatments can do, but clinique manages to minimize the breakouts if/when they do occur. my skin felt SO smooth the entire time. also, i wasn't as sensitive to sunlight like on other acne treatments. when used CORRECTLY, it is great!

Pros:

great!! clears everything, wakes you up in the morning, skin feels softer and smoother, smaller pores, less oil

Cons:

it kinda smells like wet paint.

It's amazing. I have used this product for around 4 or 5 months now, and my skin has NEVER looked better. It clears everything, removes all oil and makeup, and it's even gentle around the delicate eye area. It's a tad on the pricy side, but seeing as i pretty much swear by everything clinique, i was expecting that. I first got this product by winning it through the clinique beauty boot camp giveaway. And within the SECOND week i began to see noticible results, by the end of the first month, my skin was flawless. I've found that this prouduct works best when you start with the clinique rinse off foaming cleanser to remove excess makeup ($17.50 5 fl. oz.) then use TWO pumps of foam on a WARM damp washcloth. PAT dry. Then follow with a generous amount of clarifying lotion, followed by lots of the moisturizing cream. then, i like to follow with the clinique dramatically different moisturizer($23 4.2oz)and all about eyes rich($27.50 .5 oz)This combined gives the BEST results I've ever

Pros:

I only use the Liquid facial soap. It's not oily or greasy, prevent dryness.

Cons:

The whole system DOESNT work.

I have mild acne on my T-Zone. Im 16 and I have had Acne, for about 2 or 3 years. I get painful cysts on my chin usually. I've tried everything from regular soap to presciptions. I don't there is really one whole product like out there that will clear up anyones face. I think I have finally found my cure. I wash my face morning and night with Cetaphil Cleansing Bar of soap, in the mornings i use my prescription of BenzaClin, then Clinique liquid facial soap extra-mild - it's not greasy and helps with the dryness left from the BenzaClin (which works WONDERS)... At night i was with the Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar of soap again the i use DERMAdoctor Ain't misbehavin' intensive medicated blackhead treatment (Sephora $50) This shrinks my pores and makes my face produce less oils and dirt which cause acne. So far this has decresed my acne by about 90%. Its not as expensive as it sounds eather, talk to your doctor about BenzaClin..

Pros:

The product is easily attainable, and theres always an skin expert behind the counter! You can figure out exactly the products YOU need to best suit YOUR skin.

Cons:

With some people your skin will initially worsen, which causes some to discontinue use, however this is a normal skin reaction.... your skin has to get used to the product, and after a few days, your skin will be gorgous!

All of my life I've searched for a product that actually works on my acne....I've tried everything over the counter, proactive, acne free, just about the entire shelf at any drugstore, I even went to a dermatologist, and still didnt get the results that I have seen with Clinique's products! Nothing compares! The best part is, everything is allergy tested and fragrance free, so it's sooo safe to use! My dermatologist recommended me to use all of their makeup as well, and i could kiss her for it!!!! My skin is the best its ever been! I get compliments on how beautiful my skin is.....and everytime I tell them... All Thanks to Clinique!

Pros:

cleared acne after a couple of days.

Cons:

Dried out skin a lot and now it hurts to put lotion on face

use, but not everyday. or use everyday but only once a day. apply lots of lotion that isn't the one they give you in the three step system.buy the trial system not the full package, it's cheaper and it doesn't make you feel bad for spending as much,

Pros:

Better than other brands of Acne skin solutions. Left my skin feeling clean, fresh and smoother than it had been in a long, long time. Plus, my mom uses Clinique and even she knows that it is a trusted, classic brand that's been around for years.

Cons:

none.

Went to [link removed] and signed up for the Clinique Beauty Boot Camp. It was quick, painless and I knew I had nothing to loose by joining. I'm excited because they are offering one of the largest product giveaways ever including a tour of the teen vogue offices and a day spent hanging out with Emmy Rossum. I love her, shes sooo adorable. They are also giving away tons of free Clinique acne solutions product and I could definitely use some free products!

Pros:

Cleans up your complexion super fast. I literally noticed much smoother skin after just a few washes.

Cons:

Doesn't completely clear my acne, however it is about 85% better which I'll take because I was about to sell my soul for clearer skin. Oh yeah and it's expensive!

It's not an overnight cure but it will work if you stick with the routine. Do not mess with the routine for the first couple of weeks and you will be just fine. I can go out without makeup now and I couldn't before. However I still get break outs

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft, lightly cleanses and is very nice to use, not as expensive as say Proactiv

Cons:

Does not help with clearing acne one bit

I bought this in hopes that unlike Proactiv, it would be less drying and smelly and work better. I didn't feel any dryness and it smelled pleasant, but it didn't seem to do much. My skin was in a stagnant state for around a week and then my skin worsened. I went to the Clinique stand at David Jones and told them what was happening, and they said to give it six more weeks and it would definitely work. It didn't. With the worst skin I had ever had in my life, I returned to Proactiv and although harsh, it cleared up my skin instantaneously. There is no gentle way to treat acne.
