Pros:

I have had acne since I was about 14.. I have tried everything. My dermatologist even put me on accurate after spent about 3 years trying every other option. This has been the only thin that works for me. My skin looks amazing and I feel so much better. It also worked for my boyfriend who has totally different skin and has pretty bad acne his whole life. Buy it!!!!

Cons:

It can be drying, but I bought the moisture surge to use if it gets too dry and that works great and feels great too. It does require extra time since its 3 steps but totally worth the extra minute or so.

Go buy it!!!

Pros:

Really Works! Clears and softens skin.

Cons:

will leave skin dry, but can fix with other clinque products.

This stuff is FABULOUS!. I developed acne after having my first child at 23 and it got worse when I had my second at 25. I have tried Proactive, Dr. Murads, Nuetragena, and everything else the world offers. Like other I was skeptical, but the lady at Sephora said to try the 30 day and I could bring it back if I didnt like it. I am glad I did, because this is the clearest my skin has been in years. I did notice the drying so I stopped and talked with one of the reps at Dillards and she had me try the #2 lotion (its yellow). I use that everymorning under my makeup and only put it on my neck at night. She also told me about the acne spot treatment. You put a tiny dot on a Qtip and put it on any zits you feel are about to appear and it zaps 99% of them away. I was so happy with these I went and got the dark spot correcting serum for my scars and "historical acne" marks, this stuff is great too! I have been using that for the last 3 weeks and my husband asked me the other day what I was using, because I looked like the old me without any makeup on. Needless to say I am now a clinque girl! It has completely cleared my acne and my completion is smoothing out with the Even Better formula!. I recommend this to anyone with acne issue. Its definitely worth a try and most places will take it back if it doesnt work out for you.

Pros:

Cleared up skin

Cons:

Can't find any!

I had a really hard time with acne, and felt like I had tried everything! From Proactiv to home remedies, I just couldn't seem to find anything that worked. Once I started using Clinique, I saw a difference right away in both my acne, and the overall texture of my skin. While I sometimes still have one or two pimples that pop up once in a while, I just put some of my spot healing gel on it, and the zit is gone within a couple days. I will say, the price is not the most desirable...but once I started seeing results I really didn't care! I could not be happier with this product, I have been recommending it to all my friends and they have all seen results as well. Try it!! You will LOVE your skin!!

Pros:

clears acne, makes skin feel smooth and leaves you with a brighter more even complexion

Cons:

a bit drying

hands down, the best acne product i have ever used and will only use. I have tried so many products that made my skin clear within the first week and then from there it all went downhill. This product after the first week and beyond keeps your skin clear. My skin is sensitive so i only use at night, but that still gets the job done. I was so self-conscious about my face and borderline depressed, if anyone reads this and feels the same way i definitely encourage you to go buy this stuff right now. I saw an improvement within two days, crazy i know but it's the truth. Clinique is amazing, i cant possibly thank them enough!

Pros:

Clears skin up
Makes tones even

Cons:

Pricey
Will dry out your skin if you don't moisturize

I'm in middle school, but I have had acne since a VERY young age, maybe 2nd grade, and I have tried everything. Proactive, Clean&Clear, EVERYTHING. This was the product my skin needed. After1 week my face was flawless, to the point where I hardly wore any make-up! If my skin ever got the slightest bit used to it, I wouldn't use it one night, then the next time I did my skin went right back to the way it was, flawless. I LOVE this product!

Pros:

Works quickly
Amount of product can last you for months!

Cons:

Toner smells like alcohol
Leaves skin a little dry
Burns @ first..

I started using this product about 3-4 days ago and I can already see it working. The lady at the counter said it will leave your face a bit dry but also said it's fine to put a moisturizer over it. I also purchased the spot healing gel and it gives you a great amount for the price of it. It doesn't work on already formed and huge pimples which sucks but it does work when you feel one coming. It gets rid of it right away. Also bought the acne solutions foundation which was a bit pricey but it works great and really helps prevent pimples. Gonna start switching my makeup to Clinique now! Love it!

Pros:

Cleared skin pretty well
None peeling/drying
Reduced Redness
Can feel it working

Cons:

Makes skin feel a little tight

This product is great! i've been using it for a week and i can see/feel the difference already. It dramatically reduced the oiliness of my skin and makes it feel clean. While my face does feel a little tight till about noon i think that may go away as my skin gets used to it. There is NO peeling, dryness, and the one scar i had is going away. Even this one pimple i've had for months, even Differin couldn't make go away, is going away because of this! It really is an amazing product. I use it with a moisturizer and the spot healing gel for emergencies, which seems to be doing it's job well. I would recommend this product to anyone with light-moderate acne. it's a lifesaver!

Pros:

Noticed a significant difference in skin within a week of using product.

Cons:

Way cheaper than visiting the Dermatologist

I am a 31 year old black woman and have had severe acne since I was 11. I wish this product would have been available when I was younger. Within a week my skin felt and looked so much better. I got a lot of compliments. I have been using Clinique for six months now and I have never got results like this before. My Dermatologist has prescribed stuff that only made my skin worse or just did not work at all. Within a month the blemishes started to fade. I couldn't be happier. My face sometimes get's a little dry, so to prevent overdrying, I cut back on the clearing moisturizer. I will only use it at night. I was paying so much money to see the Dermatologist, hell the visit alone was sixty dollars. The acne solutions was only 49.95. If you have very oily skin and very bad acne, I recommend this product. Using it twice a day will give you beautiful skin.

I LOVE this product!! I am 14 and I will be in high school in 3 months. I have had acne since the 5th grade and I have tried EVERYTHING. Minocycline, clean and clear, proactive, mario badescu (worked for a little while), everything. My mom went out and bought me this and I fell in love. The moisturizer is so great!! It leaves your skin feeling healthy and smooth. Go buy it!!
