August 30, 2009

Pros:

Purchased it from Dillards, and the rep did a skin test and explained to me how clinique was different from Proactiv and Nutrogena the two products I've used in the past. Which aided in me choosing to buy it and try it today.

Cons:

Price got me ..its a bit pricy. If you buy the sample size it was 39.00 for a month and for the full size it was $9 bucks more. If I like it, that means I would end up spending almost almost $90 bucks if I got the trail size.

Proactive didn't work well for me--made me try out and itch ( tried for 6 months). Currently using neutrogena--but its not preventing acne. So i'll be back to give updates in two weeks on how Clinique works for me. Rep at store made a follow up appointment, and told me that if it doesn't work I can return the product--so nothing to loose really.

Pros:

I have nothing good to say about this product.

Cons:

My acne wasnt that bad to start out with. I have a few here and there. My sister bought me this acne set for christmas. I been using it for two week now and it seem like all it doing is breaking me out more. I want to return it. Not worth my money

dont waste your money or chance on this product. It doesnt work for anything.

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:

NONE.

Cons:

Didn't work. Left me with more breakouts than before.

This stuff is an expensive piece of crap. It does not work. It caused more zits (for me).

it starts helping and then your skin breaks out again and you cant get rid of the acne and you try other things

Pros:

nothing much

Cons:

clinique is not a company that should be in acne care

Clinique sort of portrays themselves as a company that caters to the middle age working woman who still wants a little color. Look at their makeup - it's all very neutral and packaged very un-trendy. Acne is mainly a problem for teens and 20 somethings so either they are marketing this towards older people with acne, or they are out of touch with younger people's skin. I know people with good skin that have used their products and found that it was too heavy or broke them out.

Pros:

Fun to put on

Cons:

Runs out super quickly. Doesn't significantly reduse acne.

I've used this product in the past. I tried following the steps but they only lasted a couple weeks and are expensive to replace, mentioning they come in such small packaging. Even after using this for a couple months, I expected for my acne to go down, but it stayed the same. This is a waste of money so don't use it.
