Pros:

works like it says, can wear under make-up, smells nice, doesnt dry my face out alot

Cons:

have to be patient, 2nd week breaks yu out more to get everything underneath out but starts clearing up week 3 for shure!, price a lil bit to expensive for me, had to switch cleanser to another one because doesnt cleanse well at all

i loved the product and i would continue buying this if it wasnt so expensive and if i could jus buy the toner and BP mosturizer. but i did like the product and was surprise it did work after breaking me out so bad.

Pros:

Acne goes away fast :]

Cons:

I don't really see cons but there is a little of dryness

Some people doesn't read the directions, so they say that their eye lids or eyes are on fire or something;.. You are suppose to avoid the eyes area when applying this product. This product is good for the people who have acnes :]

Pros:

Cleared up my skin right away! I don't usually have acne problems, but with all the traveling I'd been doing I was having a major break out. Worked in only a few days.

Cons:

Skin was a bit dry, but it wasn't very bad at all. You have to use more of the first step than they recommend for it to work.

I used the three step system in conjunction with their oil control cleansing mask. Fantastic results! Great for people with moderate acne.

Pros:

Cleard up my acne right away, I havent had any new breakouts since i started using it.

Cons:

My eyelids are on FIRE! I think its my skin trying to adjust to something new.

Clinique products are amazing. Im a die hard Clinique freak and i love everything they have, so im convinced that this is going to work.

Pros:

Definitely keeps my acne under control (note: don't expect perfectly clear skin with this product, but all my friends keep commenting on how much nicer my skin is these days!)

Cons:

Skin gets red immediately after use; moisturizer stains clothing/towels so be careful.

This product does wonders for my skin (but ONLY when used in conjunction with birth control). For some reason, only being on birth control or only using the product do not help (yes, I've tried doing both for at least 3 months each). Using the pill and Clinique together give me the best results. It's expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. Also be sure to be consistent with use; use all three steps twice a day or else you may get a flare up. Also, you shouldn't expect drastic improvement with any acne product for at least 8 weeks (which is how long it takes a pimple to form under your skin). I've noticed a lot of people put up product reviews after only using a product a week or a few days. Be realistic; this won't happen overnight.

Pros:

Cleared up acne slightly, not fragranced, my skin is less oily. I can see slight difference in my skin 15 minutes after using this product.

*note, slight being the key word in that sentence

Cons:

Skin is sometimes temporarly red after step 2, the toner, but it goes away after mostiorizing. Also, step 2 to can sometimes sting a tiny bit, but it goes away very quickly. Paid alot of money, saw minor results. Acne got worse before it got better.

Clinique acne system is an expenisive system that i would only recomend to a friend with very light to light acne.(actually, definetly recomend this to people with very light acne, go for it!) I think it would definetly clear up their acne. However, for people like me, who suffer moderate acne or above, i would recomend trying a different product if you want to see minor results and clearing of the skin results. This product is a decent one, but don't expect to see extremly fast results and totaly clear skin. * I have used this product for a month and a half, twice daily

Pros:

The acne spot treatment and facial mask seem to be working really well for me. I don't use them too regularly but about once a week for each and I see noticeable results. The overall redness of my problem areas went down a lot as well with the 3 Step

Cons:

Has anyone else noticed a little more hair on their face than before? When I'm up close to the mirror it appears that there is light fuzz on my face, which is definitely a problem. Not sure if it's the product. Also it does run out very quickly.

I've been using it for about 4 or so months, only once a day doing nothing else different and it doesn't seem to be doing anything awesome. Some days it looks better but not always. It does make my skin smooth and reduces redness. I just bought more so apparently I'm still hoping for something amazing to happen. I do like the product but if you have bad acne I'd say keep looking, unless it only works on bad acne and not small breakouts. Really I'm just wondering if it makes anyone else grow tiny hairs on their faces? It's kinda disturbing.

Pros:

Clears up acne; smooths skin; evens skin tone.

Cons:

It's expensive and I go through it quickly.

Clinique Acne Solutions works well for me, but I need to switch some things up to get the best results. Instead of using the medicated moisturizer that comes with the Acne Solutions kit, I use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel. It's oil-free, light-weight, and it absorbs quickly. This gel has never made me break out or experience flaky skin, as some oil-free moisturizers do. The Acne Solutions cleansing foam and clarifying lotion (toner) do wonders for my skin when I use them consistently twice a day. My only complaint it that the bottles are rather small and I go through the products quite quickly, meaning I have to pay almost $30 a month for skincare (I need to replace the moisturizer far less often.) I love this system; it just needed a few personal touches.
