Pros:

Made zits smaller.

Cons:

Dried and irrated skin very expensive. It is too much for its quality.

Not the best it cleanses but doesn't get rid. It upsets me that it started eating at me and hurting my skin.

Pros:

-Moisturizer was amazing!
-Cleared up my skin quickly for a few weeks

Cons:

-EXPENSIVE
-Didn't keep my skin clear for long

I found that the cleanser worked for a few weeks, and then my acne reappeared. I wouldn't waste your money on the entire kit, because as a whole, it won't help anymore than cheap drugstore products. That being said, Clinique moisturizer is wonderful!! I highly recommend spending the money on it and pairing it with inexpensive cleansers (like Proactiv!!).

Pros:

None

Cons:

It made my face break out worse than it has in YEARS!!

I heard wonderful things about Clinique, but was SO disapointed to find that it made my Acne SO MUCH WORSE! My skin hasn't looked or felt this bad in years! Proactive works a lot better for me.

Pros:

Nice Packaging,

Cons:

Dries out skin, makes you BREAK OUT MORE.

*I had a couple of small pimples when i started the kit, I wanted something to fade out the old red scars. Heard good things about the product from so many people and close friends... so tried it for almost a month only to have grown a farm of BIGGER pimples clustered around my forehead. I have Not Broken out this bad for almost a year. So disappointed...I had such high hopes in Clinique... Im probably better off with Proactive, even though they're both a Joke.

Pros:

Made my skin feel clean and smooth, less oily.

Cons:

Never completley got rid of my acne. Totally unconsistent. Dries out face horribly for the first week.

Don't use it. This really does not work consistently. It only began to actually CLEAR my face after I'd been using it for a month and now it's gone to pot again. Also, the "moisturizer"is so small and I had to buy it again for $16!! And it is the key ingredient because when I ran out my face was horrible. I would say only to use this if you have light acne.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Caused rash and swelling.

I used the Clinique Acne 3-Step for two days. On the morning of the third day I had a red rash on my face and neck. There was a little swelling on my cheeks and lots of leathery bumbs on my neck. I returned the products immediately and got a full return. The sales clerk told me THEN that two of the employees who had tried the product got irritated skin from it. I use Clinique makeup regularly and I've never had any problems before trying their acne line. In the past I tried their regular 3-step products, which gave me a few pimples but not a gross rash!

Pros:

Um..None

Cons:

Expensive
Doesnt Work
Have the shake the toner before each use

After using Proactiv Extra Strength for the past 5 years I noticed that my skin was becoming immune to it and I was breaking out more and more. I decided to try Clinque's Acne Solutions because I read some reviews on the Clinque site and it sounded like it could work. I was mistaken! My face got so much worse! I had 6-10 LARGE INFLAMED pimples around my nose and mouth. Then I got all my baby acne back. My forhead was covered in tiny whiteheads. I hadnt had those in years! After using for a month I decided to go back to Proactiv and WITHIN THREE days, my skin looked noticeablely better. I will never stray from Proactiv again!

Pros:

Doesn't make my skin break out more

Cons:

Doesn't ever completely go away

This product is not consitent at all. I've been using it for a while now and it made a slight difference in the begining. This is the best product I've used so far but it still never gives me completely clear skin. I'm gonna keep trying it for another month and then I'm giving up hope..
