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!!

Pros:

none

Cons:

expensive
does not work
very harsh on skin
face broke out more

I used this product after using the Clinique 3-step system because it had broke me out really bad and made me get really bad skin. The worst I have very had in my life. The lady at the Clinique counter told me to use this in order to get rid of the breakouts, so I started using it and I broke out even more and she told me it was all apart of the regimen so I continued to use it for 2 months and my skin became worse and worse. I would definitely not recommend this acne system nor Clinique in general. It is way too expensive and it is not what people and advertisement make it out to be.

Pros:

Cleared up acne initially
No fragrance
technically hypoallergenic

Cons:

Too harsh for sensitive acne-prone skin
Never stopped oil production on nose
Was drying in winter

I bought this just after I got out of high school because my old products (Spectro Jel sensitive acne prone skin wash and Loreal hydrafresh oil-free gel creme) weren't perfect for sensitive combination skin. I was told by the clinique ladies that I actually had oily skin. For the first year my skin was doing better but I think my skin changed and I used it past when I needed it. I never did have 100% acne free skin and now I have scars and dry patches all over face and eyes. My skin is damaged.

Pros:

Got the result after first use
Cleaned out my acne

Cons:

Very drying
Skin became very oily after couple months of continuos using
Got acne scars

I really liked when I first purchased it. I got horrible breakouts and couple of blemishes so the Clinique helped to calm my skin and kept acne under control. After couple of weeks of using it, I started getting acne scars. I never had acne scars in my life. I guess this product was way too harsh on my sensitive skin. After using the product for 3 months I didn't notice any improvements on skin, I've decided to stop using it.

Pros:

Cleans out pours including black heads
Reduces redness within 2 applications
Use the no-oil moisturizer and you'll avoid dry skin

use twice a day until the acne is gone, then you can use it only once a day! Great product, fast and effective!

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:

-It smells great.
- I love the way it feels on my skin

Cons:

- my face broke out more since I've been using it
- it's expensive

Before using this system, I had periodic break outs but they weren't too bad. Once I started using it (and continued to use it for 4 months) I found my skin was continually breaking out.
