Pros:

Acne disappears right before your eyes (not literally but y'all know what i mean),
very easy regiment,
not so harsh that it hurts or burns sensitive skin,
helps reduce oily skin, tho it does dry out your skin but thats what its supposed to do!:),
leaves skin feeling smooth and soft,
and it is just amazing!

Cons:

Now people usually put pricey in this slot but I'm not gonna say so, I have tried other things through dermatologists and a facialist and they gave me Raya products and Repechage products which are very very pricey and hard to get ahold of, but this is a very reasonably priced product especially for the amazing outcome.
Like I said it does dry out skin, but i used the moisture surge in place of the acne solution moisturizer every other day. Which helps tremendously!

I HIGHLY recommend this product, I am almost 20 years of age and I graduated from Cosmetology School and am waiting to take my State Board to start in a Salon, and I wanted my face to be clear for my interview..and it is most definitely getting there! :) I know the price I paid was high but I went all out and got the amazing Face Mask, Acne Solutions Spot Gel, as well as the Acne Solutions Foundation. I also recommend the Acne Solutions Foundation also, it also helps with acne BIG time, and it is VERYY important to be careful what foundation you use, it can alter you regiment, you can be using the best product in the world (which is this one!:)) but be applying a foundation that puts back all the bacteria and junk gunk and funk that you're trying to get rid of. Your skin is very very VERY important and you only get to take care of it once, so take great care of it! :) GoodLuck!:) Hope this helped!

Pros:

Works amazingly!
Reduces oil on face.
Clears up acne (even the left over bump).
Doesn't dry out skin.
Leaves it feeling soft and fresh.

Cons:

A little pricey.

I love this product! I started using Proactiv for about 2 or 3 months, and it wasn't doing anything to my skin. So, I decided to get this product because I heard such good things about it and all those reviews were correct! I completely and totally recommend Clinique Acne Solutions! :D

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:

AMAZING!!!!!!
reduced pimple size, redness, scarring in just one day!!!!!

Cons:

A bit drying, but nothing a little moisturizer couldn't fix; toner stings a tiny bit, but I suspect that will go away once my skin becomes accustomed to it

Its amazing I have Asian skin that's super sensitive, prone to scarring and turns red whenever it's irritated But this system didn't make my skin red and it actually decreased the redness. My dad actually commented on how much clearer my skin looked after one use. Also scars faded, especially when I used the clinique even better moisturizer

Pros:

Less expensive than equally effective kits
Controls oil well
Wonderful at clearing acne

Cons:

Leaves skin a little dry, may need additional moisturizer
Still a little pricey

I have pretty terrible, oily skin and seem to build up "resistances" to products so I've had to switch ever few months. I use Clinique foundation and they were having a sale on the Acne Solutions kit so I gave it a try. The results are wonderful. I've never been able to stick to a kit so long and have such clear skin. It works especially well on the T zone. My only complaint is it can be slightly drying sometimes, but I use another Clinique moisturizer when I need it. It's a little pricey, but cheaper than other products and one full kit lasts a long time.

Pros:

Worked amazing for my skin!
90% of my acne disappeared!
Made my skin just look BEAUTIFUL.
Tightened my skin.
Made my pores look small.

Cons:

The first week I used this, it made my skin feel like it was on FIRE.
Nothing for post acne marks.
A little drying.

The very first time I used this line, it made me want to cry! It stung so bad and made my face feel like it was sun burnt for an hour! After my skin got used to how strong was, it just worked amazing. I've only been using it for about a week and a half now, & more than 90% of my acne is gone. I used to have pretty severe acne too. Another bad thing about it though, is that it really drys out your skin. The first couple days, I tried using my usual moisturizer to top the moisturizer that it came with, and it didn't work so well, because it made my skin really oily. I recommend this to anyone that's okay with going through the first week of hell. (:
