Pros:

Definitely keeps my acne under control (note: don't expect perfectly clear skin with this product, but all my friends keep commenting on how much nicer my skin is these days!)

Cons:

Skin gets red immediately after use; moisturizer stains clothing/towels so be careful.

This product does wonders for my skin (but ONLY when used in conjunction with birth control). For some reason, only being on birth control or only using the product do not help (yes, I've tried doing both for at least 3 months each). Using the pill and Clinique together give me the best results. It's expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. Also be sure to be consistent with use; use all three steps twice a day or else you may get a flare up. Also, you shouldn't expect drastic improvement with any acne product for at least 8 weeks (which is how long it takes a pimple to form under your skin). I've noticed a lot of people put up product reviews after only using a product a week or a few days. Be realistic; this won't happen overnight.

Pros:

cleared up my skin quickly & has kept it clear. tone is improved, shine is deminished, & the post blemish treatment fades red marks in no time. the spray for body is effective as well.

Cons:

dries out your skin if you use it more than the twice a day recommendation. the foam cleanser doesn't remove stubborn dirt or make up.

I work on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier & even though I'm careful not to touch my face, it accumulates a film of grease & dirt. I do have to use a baby wipe to remove the worst of the dirt, but Clinique Acne Solutions keeps my skin glowing & clear through the longest, dirtiest, deployment.

Pros:

My skin looks rejuvenated. I would dare to say I breakout 1/10 (at least) as much as I used to. Even my scars are fading.

Cons:

Extremely drying. I suggest adding 'Clinque Moisture Surgeâ„¢ Extended Thirst Relief' to your routine, but only when absolutely necessary.

I have been battling with acne (cysts, blackheads, whiteheads...) for almost 10 years exactly and this product (so far!) works amazingly. I am still getting the odd 'new comer' but for the most part, it's working!!!

confused
i started using this 3 days ago and i don't know what to think about it. it's getting the pimples that i wanted to go away, to go away but i'm also getting a few other pimples? is this supposed to happen. i'm gonna keep on using this till it's finished just to see if it actually does work. update: did not work as good as i thought it would. it made the pimples on my forehead that i wanted to go away, go away but other than that it made me break out more on other spots. Right now i am using Cetaphil facial wash and Witch Hazel and let me tell you those 2 things are tha bomb. com lol. it's a whole lot cheaper than this product tho.

It was my savior until
I started Clinique when I was a broke 14 year old whose face was an oily sheen dotted with yellow bumps and her pulled fully back into a pony tail showing my mess of a face for all to see. It started as a gift- the set which lasted me about 3 months and boy were those months the best. My face was less oily and less covered in this yellow dots. But then I finished it and I didn't have the money for it. 3 years by and I had enough money to cover Clinique for the next 3 years- there was improvements, not the greatest, but improvements nonetheless. Eventually I decided to drop because the price was so expensive and my skin had become accustomed- it was like throwing money into the drain basically. Overall, it really helped my mild/mod acne during my HS/College years.

Pros:

Works Fast
Shrinks Pores
Clears Skin
Softens Skin

Cons:

Extremely Drying

This product is great! I have dramatically less acne, and my skin is a lot softer. Occasionally, I skip one step in the morning if my face is too dried out, but the results are amazing. This is EXTREMELY DRYING, so I don't recommend this for people with already dry skin. I got a starter kit that came with an awesome spot treatment.

Pros:

The acne spot treatment and facial mask seem to be working really well for me. I don't use them too regularly but about once a week for each and I see noticeable results. The overall redness of my problem areas went down a lot as well with the 3 Step

Cons:

Has anyone else noticed a little more hair on their face than before? When I'm up close to the mirror it appears that there is light fuzz on my face, which is definitely a problem. Not sure if it's the product. Also it does run out very quickly.

I've been using it for about 4 or so months, only once a day doing nothing else different and it doesn't seem to be doing anything awesome. Some days it looks better but not always. It does make my skin smooth and reduces redness. I just bought more so apparently I'm still hoping for something amazing to happen. I do like the product but if you have bad acne I'd say keep looking, unless it only works on bad acne and not small breakouts. Really I'm just wondering if it makes anyone else grow tiny hairs on their faces? It's kinda disturbing.

Pros:

doesn't dry out my skin, leaves it feeling tingly and clean, there is really no fragrance that will hurt my skin, easy to use, fast and reliable

Cons:

leaves my nose a little but shiny

I got the starter kit, only because my mom wanted to see how well it would work. I've been using it for exactly 1 week. I've noticed a BIG difference. I started with about 5 big pimples, many blackheads, and many small blemishes and acne scars around my face. RIght now i only have 2 big pimples, and a few scars. After i use it, it makes my face feel fresh, tingly, and clean. Which is what i love most about it. I have combination skin which is hard to find a good product to treat acne with, without drying it out. Well, i highly reccomend anyone who is interested in using it, but scared to waste their money or that it won't work. BUY IT. trust me, if you use it for at least 2 weeks and you don't see a difference they will let you return it. so you don't have anything to lose(: try it outt.
