Pros:

Really Works!
Smells OK

Cons:

A little drying
Itchiness around my chin/neck

OK, so I have SUPER sensitive skin, and typically all acne medications burn me and leave dry welts. I have only used this for 2 days, but WOW over-night the first night was already a HUGE difference! Day 2, even more of a difference. So far I am really impressed. My chin/neck area is super itchy though so that is a neg. for me. I guess I need to avoid that area. I hope this holds up to the test for the next few weeks. Also note, so far I am only using it at night. I may even switch to every other night just to play it safe. But I would def. recommend trying this product so far!!

Pros:

It really clears the acne. Every day I wake up, I see differences. It also takes out the redness and the size of the acne overnight. Also does not irritate my skin.

Cons:

It dries you're skin out if you use the moisturizer on the non-breakout spots. Moisterizer also may flake it you scratch it.

This is amazing for me because it really WORKS! I just put it on at night and when I wake up to go use it again, it seems like a miracle has happen to my face! The giant pimples vanish and shrink, and it reduces the redness/ noticability of the acne as well. The moisturizer is a bit drying, and it will burn you're skin if you use it where you don't need it (I just out it on my forhead, where all the acne is) but overall, it works amazing. Also don't scratch anything, because the moisterizer will flake and turn white (but this can be combatted by putting some lotion on over it). CLINIQUE IS THE BEST BOTTOM LINE!!!

Pros:

Clears skin quickly
Makes skin feel clean
Softens skin
Fragrance Free

Cons:

Drying
3rd Step Runs out Quicker than the others
Price

From the first day I have used Clinique, my face has cleared up. I dont have very many pimples to begin with so this was able to clear almost all of them away in one day. The price isnt terrible, but it is a little expensive if you are buying it every month. It dried out my skin quite a bit so I have been using another moisturizer(Garnier Nutritionist Moisture Rescue Gel Cream). I would definitely reccomend it to people with light to moderate acne.

Pros:

cleared up acne right away, and after a full month skin was completely clear

Cons:

drying!

The system really helped my blemishes, however I noticed after a few days that it was way too drying for my skin, and I had oily skin before I started this system! I use this morning and night, but after the moisturizer I have to apply a good amount of cetaphil lotion all over my face, and heavily on my eyes and neck to keep my skin moisturized and not super dry; there is no way I could use this line without applying cetaphil afterwards. Overall, this line is pretty amazing, I have no more blemishes and I actually have to worry about making sure my skin is moisturized enough now; before I had to worry about how my skin was too oily! By using this line I have gone from oily skin to combo/dry skin because of the products' drying power. I recommend this! Just know you will have dry skin with continued use!

Pros:

clearing my skin :)

Cons:

very expensive

ive just recently switched from proactiv to the clinique three step, and i have to say the difference for me is quite remarkable, the redness in my spots is nearly completely gone, my face already feels a lot smoother. All in all im glad i spent the extra money on this, especially if it keeps working the way it has been already. I also got a free mascara and 'take the day off' makeup remover. :)

Pros:

Easy to use, see fast results -- within a week or two, great for sensitive skin, reduces redness on the face.

Cons:

Pricey...but sometimes you get a free gift with purchase. I did! ;)

I bought this product for my 15 year old son a couple of weeks ago and it has done wonders to his face. Everyday his acne is disappearing. My son's acne is around his chin, forehead and sideburns area of the cheeks. His acne was becoming severe. This product has stopped the acne from becoming worst. His face is not completely clear but his acne is now controlled! I was very skeptical about purchasing Clinique's products for my son because Clinique mainly targets women however I'm glad I did. My son has used many other different products and non have work as good as this one.

Pros:

Gentle
Works amazing
Hypoallergenic

Cons:

Little Pricey
Moisturizer dries out skin a bit

I've been using Clinique Acne Solutions for about a month now. All I can say is that I love it. I have dry and sensitive skin, and I can safely say that I have not experienced any irritation from this product. No, my acne hasn't cleared up all the way, but it has cleared my complexion up significantly. I've seen noticeable differences and I don't mind paying the price for something that works. The only drawback is the moisturizer. I tend to only use it on breakout spots (like my cheeks). The bottom line is to try it! I'm sure you'll love the results.

Pros:

Non drying and doesnt leave skin feeling oily
Definate reduction in no of pimples, redness and oilyness after a few days

Cons:

Slightly more expensive than lower end products such as clearisil. I always buy clinique when bonus time is on though as I use the free gifts so it doesnt seem so pricey then.
Not a miracle worker
Will not remove make up- I use clinique take the day off and another cleanser first and use this system on a clean make up free face.

I started using this one week ago. I have been using lots of different brands over the past 8 years for my acne such as neutrogena, simple, clearisil, clarins and none of them have worked. I have used the clinique 3 step system for normal skin in the past and that was ok but didnt make a difference. Anyway my friend told me good things about the blemish solutions range so I decided to give it ago. I saw a noticeable difference in my skin after a few days of using it....it has been less oily, has calmed some of the pimples and reduced some of the redness. Brands such as clearisil have made my skin flake in the past and red but this kit didnt make it red or dry at all. However, it hasnt worked miracles yet and I have still had a few new pimples appear but there is a definate difference. Im going to continue using it and I will be buying another set if it continues to work as well as it is doing now.
