Pros:

Clears up skin fast. Makes skin feel smoother almost immediately

Cons:

I would saying how my skin feels dry and will probably end up flakey. But that is expected with any acne face wash.

Overall I love my Clinique products. And i was actually surprised on how fast that this product worked. It is aroma free and light on the skin.

Pros:

this product is simply amazing. doesn't matter what kind of acne you have, def helps all. THIS IS THE ONLY ONLY THING THAT HAS EVER WORKED FOR ME!

Cons:

the only problem is that you're going to have to keep buying it ;)

I've tried just about everything, went to dermatologist, i've tried metrocycline pills, used accutane, tried differin gel. all that did was make my skin worse. i used it consistently, but still saw that my acne was getting bigger and redder. yes, i know you need to stay consistent in order to see results, i did, but how long after you don't see results do you feel the need to find something else? my acne was so bad and it was so emberassing to me, that i would cry at work because my confidence was so low. like i said i've tried everything, proactive, neutrogena skin id, dermatology products, clean and clear, aveda outer peace, and many many others. NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED LIKE THIS. I can drastically tell an amazing difference and so can all the people who've been by my side can as well. YOU HAVE TO GET THIS, I'M URGING YOU. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!

Pros:

At first my acne seemed to be getting worse, but after about the first week my skin improved dramatically! I had a ton of pimples all around my mouth, now I barely have any! Now im just left with scars...

Cons:

If you wear foundation, the face wash may not work extremely well for you.

After using countless acne products and being disappointed again and again, this product is worth the price, it leaves your skin soft and smooth! The clinique emergency gel-lotion works great with this system! I will continue to use this!

Pros:

This product is awsome!! My skin oil is under control and so is my acne.

When using the acne three step I have found that my skin is improving. I had to add a make-up remover at night (a gel cleanser). My consultant said this might happen if I noticed make-up on my cotton ball during the clarifying lotion step. The foam removes some make-up, but only if it is light. i also added an oil-free sunscreen during the day (city block spf 25) and an oil-free moiturizer at night (Dramatically different gel. Overall these products have helped me and are well worth my money and time.

Love it!
Out of many many many products I have tried, Clinique has worked the best by far. Despite this product not clearing all of my acne, it has made my face so much clearer than I though possible. I am not afraid to leave my house without makeup on anymore! However, don't use this product twice a day cause it will dry out your face. I use it every night before bed so that it doesn't dry out my face. Overall I love it!!

Curious if you have found a replacement for the third step, now that they have stopped making it?

Pros:

- Cleared up my adult acne!
- Not as drying on my skin as using the Acne.org regimen twice daily
- Smells fresh
- Leaves my skin soft

Cons:

- Slightly drying in winter months, but SO worth it to me
- The cleanser doesn't seem to clean my skin completely, so I use Acne.org's cleanser instead

I don't write online reviews ever. But I had to make an exception here in the event that I can help someone out, goodness knows I would have appreciated it! Here's my story, I've battled acne for over 15 years (I'm 30 now). I went through two 5 month doses of Accutane as a teenager which cleared things up for a few years, but once out of college, my acne flared up again and seemed to get worse every year. From age 24 to 30, I tried a number of acne-fighting lines: Pro-Activ which worked for a few months then turned my skin scaly and red, Aveda's Acne line which didn't do much, multiple different prescriptions (oral and topical) from the dermatologist, and then Acne.org. Dan's regimen worked on to an extent, but my already sensitive skin became red and flaky, which would have been manageable, but I still had pimples...so it didn't seem worth it to me. Looking to change things up once again, I perused lots of reviews online and settled on trying Clinique as a last ditch effort before heading back to the derm and requesting Accutane. And I'm so glad that I did! I use the Clinique regimen in the morning, and the Acne.org face wash and BP at night, and within 3 weeks, my face became 100% clear...I'm seriously amazed. Now that I've been using this regimen for a while, I've added Clinque's "dramatically different moisturizing gel" in the summer, and Clinique's "moisture surge" in the winter. I finally have skin I feel proud of. It's soft and blemish free which is something I haven't been able to say in a long time. And even better, I've been able to slowly add in anti-aging creams without the fear of breaking out. I can't recommend this line enough, and if you try it, I hope it works the same for you!

Pros:

-no smell
-fast & easy
-cleared up acne right away

Cons:

-a little pricey for the FULL SIZED SET, but it takes a while to go through the bottles anyway

I LOVE this set! I have tried many other sets and decided to switch to Clinique and I have loved it ever since! I have been using this for seven months and I am still loving it. I use it twice a day and it's just the miracle worker! I would definitely recommend to try it out!

Pros:

Really works
Doesn't dry out my skin as it was when first using it

Cons:

Price
Really dry you out when first using it

I had acne for about two years. I have oily skin I tried many kinds of acne treatment, but none of them work. Not at all. Then I found out about Clinique acne solution, I decided to give it a try. When I first used it, it dry out my skin really bad, but after about a week, I get used to it, it helps control the oil but doesn't dry me out. I just bought the third one. I love the product. Everyone start telling me that my face is getting better now. I'm SO happy with the result. Beside all that, the price is expensive Bc it only for a month. Other than that, I totally recommend this product
