Pros:

Cleared skin
lasts a long time

Cons:

a bit drying

I had been breaking out really badly, nothing was working normally i used proactive but it just wasnt working anymore. I have tried everything with no luck. This system cleared my skin up within the first week. I did have a small flare up around day two but by the end of my first week (which was day one of my periods usually my worst break out day) I was completely clear. This system healed my spots faster and seems to reduce old scares. Even spots that have been consistent and reoccuring are clear. I love this product i dont feel the need to wear makeup anymore. I use the clinque moist. Surg lotion with this because it dose dry my skin out. I normally have really dry skin so i need a lotion anyways. But i cant say enough how much this has help.

Pros:

* Keeps skin shine free
* Removes dead skin cells which clog your oily pores leading to the acne
* Skin feels and looks better than it has in 14 years

Cons:

* If you have moderately severe acne it takes a long time to really work
* A tad expensive, but it's worth it

At first I wasn't sure about the product, but I am sold. It has taken quite some time to really stop the breakouts, but once it managed to keep my skin from being oily, and the clarifying lotion's exfoliation kept the dead skin cells from clogging the pores my skin looks and feels better than it has. I've had acne for all my adult life (since 14) and I've never found a regimen which works. Clinique is working for my skin better than anything ever has. Could not recommend it enough, but like I said you need to give it time - especially with bad skin. For girls I also recommend going on a good contraceptive pill because my skin would always flare up during menstruation so if you can find out to help and balances your hormonal fluctations then combining this and Clinque is excellent.

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:

Improved texture. No new cysts. Diminished small bumps. No peeling. Blemishes heal quickly.

Cons:

I had to modify the 3-step system into a 4-step (sometimes 5-step) to get optimal results.

I have been using the 3-step acne system for 1 week now. I modified it a bit by adding the 7-day scrub every time after I cleanse before using the toner. I also use the acne mask 1 or 2 times per week. I also switched to their makeup 1 week ago. This is the best system I have used so far. Does it make my skin perfect? No. However, I am not looking for perfection. The IMPROVEMENT has been amazing. I haven't had any cystic blemishes since using this product line (I always used to have 1 or 2 going on). Also, it has helped with the small bumps that I had all over my cheeks. I really hope that the results continue. I have had no new scarring and hopefully the old scars will fade. The texture of my skin is much better and I am VERY happy with this product. I realize that this system may not work for everyone, but it did work for me. I am very pleased.

Pros:

It feels really good on the skin! I like the packaging a lot and I actually lilke the feeling of the toner. It prevents acne very well.

Cons:

It takes a long time for any acne scarring to go away. It can be very drying, so an additional moisturizer is needed. It's a tad bit on the expensive side, but then again clear skin is priceless.

It prevents acne very very well, but it takes a long time to heal existing acne. It's actually cheaper than proactiv and it's funner to use. The moisturizer, step 3, is drying, but you're only supposed to use it on your acne spots, so you need an additional oil free moisturizer elsewhere.

Pros:

i feel my face clean, fresh, old marks from acne (red) are dissapering

Cons:

i live in a hot island with almost every day we have hot temperature ,the moist. cream is a little too irritate for me to use it at day so i use the moisturizer gel from clinique and at night the acne moist.

Since i was 12 i have acne, i went to a dermatologist and help me very well with my problem. I start using clinique products almost 4 years ago and they work well on me. But at this last 2 years im in so much stress so my acne come back badly(now im 24). At january i decide to go to the dermatologist again but the lotion she recommend me didnt work and my acne was worst so i discontinue that product, it was a waste of money :-S so i decide to start a research in the internet to view some reviews from different brands and i find this site and read too many good reviews so i decide to purchase it. The first time i use the products i feel my face so clean and fresh, the next day almost every pimple and marks starts to dissapear, my mom notice that and she didn't knew i was using this product for my acne. Today is almost 5 days of using this products and my old marks from my acne of months are almost gone, the old scars from my acne(5 or 6 yrs ago) are so much better. I feel confident :-D

Pros:

Works well, cleared up a lot of my pimples (mainly on my forehead area)
Makes your skin feel fresh
I like the tight feeling when you use it lol

Cons:

Um still some pimples but much much less and its hardly noticable.
The toner burns a little bit on pimples (especially if you pick your skin)

Good product, I definitly would recommend it. Goes well with the anti-blemish foundation they have to. To get good results use it twice a day (as recommended) I use it once a day coz I'm lazy... but i still get good results. :) Mine was only really expensive because Australia is silly and everything costs a lot for some reason..
