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:

It only works for two weeks.. meaning it did clear up for two weeks..

Cons:

It works for two weeks and I stated breaking out so much... Ive never had break out in the forehead and now its all over my head to my scalp.. its so sad.. i wake up everyday dreaming to have a clear beautiful face, but instead i wake up with all the acne on my face,,, help....... meeee

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.

Pros:

Skin feels nice afterwards.

Cons:

Didn't work for me. Broke out worse when I first started using it and never really got better. Also, very expensive for what you're getting.

It's really too expensive and, in my opinion, is not better than any cheap supermarket brand that I've used.

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.

Pros:

Smells Good

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Made my face itchy

I've had mild acne my whole life. Once I got married, my acne started to go insane, especially around my chin,neck,and cheeks. I read good reviews on this, and started it. My acne has gotten SEVERELY worse since starting and the whole left side of my face is scared....on to something else I guess. My acne has never itched before until this. It's terrible!

Pros:

Cleared up acne within a few days

Cons:

Left my face real dry ,

When I first started using this product I stared clearing up my acne pretty quick , which I thought was great but after using for a few more days it started drying up my face really bad ,and to top it off I started breaking out more . Like I constantly got breakouts . So I just decided to stop using it and now am going to give proactiv a try let's see how that works

Pros:

Cleans skin for a day or two, then stops working

Cons:

Burns
Drys skin
A lot of redness
Painful
Irritation

Do not buy it. I used it, and for the first day or so it got rid of a few blemishes, but the redness and irritation it caused was not worth it. It stopped working after a week and it still burned.
