Pros:

Smells Good

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Made my face itchy

I've had mild acne my whole life. Once I got married, my acne started to go insane, especially around my chin,neck,and cheeks. I read good reviews on this, and started it. My acne has gotten SEVERELY worse since starting and the whole left side of my face is scared....on to something else I guess. My acne has never itched before until this. It's terrible!

Pros:

Works well
Leaves skin feeling soft
Prevents new blemishes
Fades past blemish scars
Allergy tested and 100% fragrance free.

Cons:

Moisturiser brings clogged pores into whiteheads.

After trying the sample kit for about a month and a half, i was sure it was slowly clearing my mild acne up. So i then purchased the full sized products. I used it twice a day daily and it didn't dry my skin out or cause me to break out more. I found the foam cleanser mediocre - it was nothing special but I found the clarifying lotion and the moisturiser most effective to clearing my skin up. The only thing that i wasn't sure about was that the moisturiser made clogged pores into whiteheads - i don't know if thats a good thing or not, does it make the blemish heal faster or what? Also the kit slowly began to fade past blemish scarring (minor). They became less noticeable. Overall i found the kit very effective and it wasn't over priced either. highly recommended! I love you clinique!

Pros:

- Works fast
- Gentle
- Evens skin tone
- Clears redness
- Shrinks Pores

Cons:

- If you don't use all three steps it doesn't work

This product is by far the best I have ever used. It cleared my acne after years of trying different products. Not only does it clear my acne but it heals my skin so that I won't have such severe breakouts. I recommend this product to anyone who has stubborn acne that just won't seem to go away.

Pros:

It works! This product is a dream for adult acne.

I developed cystic acne around my mouth and chin at 24, two years ago. I constantly had three-six large cysts - before one would disappear another would come up in almost the very same spot. I went on Diane 35 to combat the acne and began using prescription benzoyl peroxide creams. Diane 35 reduced the size and number of the cysts, but I still broke out. I went off the Diane 35 and looked for other solutions. To my amazement, since I began using Clinique my skin has completely cleared! It looks better now than that of my non-acne prone friends. My scars are finally healing and I feel confident enough to go out without makeup on! It is important to use all three steps. I apply the acne solutions mosturizer only to those areas that are prone to breakouts. This helps to reduce the cost of the product too. At first my skin was too dry, but I spoke to the Clinique rep and they recommended that I use the dramatically different moisturizing gel on top of the acne solutions mosturizer if I was drying out. Since my skin is now totally clear, I use this all over my face twice every day as a fourth step. While my breakouts were still disappearing, I used the it only as needed to prevent dryness. I think the price is a small one to pay for great skin! If you wait until Clinique bonus time to stock up, you get lots of free makeup. Clinique is also great about returns and stands by their products, so if this doesn't work for you, you can take it back. One final thing: I like the soap bar a lot more than the foaming cleanser. It does a better job of taking off my makeup, it's cheaper and it lasts longer too. I've been using my current bar for six months and I've still got another month or two to go.

Pros:

*smells very nice
*face feels soft
*good toner
* moisturizer is awesome!

Cons:

*very expensive
* didn't help much with acne

i would recommend this for people with normal acne but not for girls like myself. I used it for 3 months and i didn't see any improvements. i thought that because it is sold in the mall and it is expensive it would work wonders but it didn't. =C maybe this product is not meant for severe acne and that is why it didn't work on me!

Pros:

Cleans up your complexion super fast. I literally noticed much smoother skin after just a few washes.

Cons:

Doesn't completely clear my acne, however it is about 85% better which I'll take because I was about to sell my soul for clearer skin. Oh yeah and it's expensive!

It's not an overnight cure but it will work if you stick with the routine. Do not mess with the routine for the first couple of weeks and you will be just fine. I can go out without makeup now and I couldn't before. However I still get break outs

Pros:

actually works
cleansing foam is so gentle
fast and effective

Cons:

price
bottle size

This product actually works. I have tried everything from proactive to prescribed pills and tablets to clean and clear. I have spent so much money on skin care and I have finally found something that works. I have been using it for a week and my big sore pimples are disappearing. The only problem is your skin does dry out but if you moisturise you'll have no problems. I would definitely recommend this product.

Pros:

-clears acne quickly
-helps control oil and shine
-reduces redness and blemishes
-evens out skin tone

Cons:

-dries out skin so extra moisturizing lotion is necessary

I used pro-active for years and wanted to try a new product to help control my acne. My acne is not terrible; however, since high school I've struggled with a reasonable amount of acne. I was a little apprehensive to try something new, since my skin had adjusted to pro-active. After trying several different brands and having no success, I opted for Clinique Acne Solutions. Within 3 days, my face had already cleared and I was receiving many compliments. I'm very happy with the way my face looks now and I will continue using Acne Solutions. The benzol peroxide in the moisturizer is a little drying, although I use Clinique Age Defernce after to keep my skin hydrated. Great product and I highly recommend to those of you who struggle with adult acne!

Pros:

- reduces oiliness
- reduces redness
- peels dead layers of skin
- washes off make-up completely

Cons:

- expensive
- requires patience to work

I've only seen results after 9 weeks of using this product.have spent a fortune thus far but I've just started to see my cystic acne clear up. I was just about to stop using Clinique,bt jst like the lady at the counter said "be patient".I love this product and don't see myself using anything else.It's not a mgic potion, your hormones also play a huge role in acne, especially with me being 24 and suffering since I was 18.It does get much worse before it starts to get better, you just need to hang in there. Think of it as an investment in your skin, you have to live with your face for the rest of your life, make the sacrifice and get Clinique!
