Pros:

Cleared up acne/acne scars
Expensive

Cons:

Made skin dry (however, I now use it with the acne even better moisturizer and love it.. stays nice all day)

Product works. It is pricier than most Drug store products, however the results I received with the product was well worth it. I stuck with using it and am so glad I did. It cleared up my acne, and I have been using the Even Better Moisturizer (to even my skin tone from old acne scars) and I just love the results. Well worth it. The starter kit I started with was 40.00 (for the trial sized bottles)... however the 1st step ran out kind of fast (I like to really lather..). The full sized bottles individually are about 18-20.

Pros:

Less expensive than equally effective kits
Controls oil well
Wonderful at clearing acne

Cons:

Leaves skin a little dry, may need additional moisturizer
Still a little pricey

I have pretty terrible, oily skin and seem to build up "resistances" to products so I've had to switch ever few months. I use Clinique foundation and they were having a sale on the Acne Solutions kit so I gave it a try. The results are wonderful. I've never been able to stick to a kit so long and have such clear skin. It works especially well on the T zone. My only complaint is it can be slightly drying sometimes, but I use another Clinique moisturizer when I need it. It's a little pricey, but cheaper than other products and one full kit lasts a long time.

Pros:

This is the only product that worked for my severe acne.

Cons:

First two weeks acne will worsen, but clears up afterwards.

I've had acne since I was a teen, and now I'm 24 years old still with acne. I've tried everything from Proactiv, Dr. Miracle, Dr. Murad, etc and none of these products worked for me. I believe that Clinique acne system works well on severe acne, and not light to moderate acne. I've notice that people with light to moderate acne felt that the Clinique didn't work for them. I also recommend using the face bar soap for acne, instead of the foam cleanser with the system (the bar soap cleans your face better),and be sure to get the Clinique Moisturizing gel because some parts of your face will be dry.

Pros:

It works fast!

Cons:

The smell of the toner is a little bit strong.

I've tried everything...anything you can name. This really works for me! I got the starter kit last Thursday (Oct 8th, 2009) and used it for 4 days. Now my face is nearly clear! I also use the dramatically different moisturizing gel after the three steps. I had moderate acne since last August and had some bad acne scars on my right cheek. I just purchased the post blemish formula and looking forward to seeing the results!

Pros:

No strong fragrance, Does not make your face feel full of products, makes skin feel much cleaner, got rid of the majority of my acne.

Cons:

A little expensive

Since I have only been using this product for a week, I'm not really sure how well it is working for sure. So far though, my face is less oily and a majority of my smaller pimples are gone. Since starting the system last Thursday night, I have had a few of my smaller pimples break out into larger ones, but they seem to go away pretty quickly. I think this is probably just what is going to happen for the first couple of weeks while my face is being cleaned out. (: I would recommend buying the trial size pack first...this way you don't spend a ton of money on a product that may not work for you. :)

Pros:

price, scent, packaging

Cons:

none

I have been on pro active, clean and clear acne treatment, antibiotics, tons of dermatologist topical solutions over the years. I started Clinique- GONE. All gone. You will break out within the first 2 weeks as your skin needs to purge the junk out. But, then, nothing. My skin is smooth, clean, acne free, white head free.... OMG it is like magic. I am so happy.

Pros:

fragrance free, works on acne.
not harsh, doesnt dry out the skin.

Cons:

umm...still get one breakout

my skin didnt totally clear up, but on the most it did. My scars also have faded. It does work if you have moderate acne dont know about severe...cause i have moderate acne. But the thing with this is that it didnt work for my cystic acne, i needed a prescription for that ...but on the whole it did work! :D

Pros:

Leaves skin REALLY smooth after a few uses.
It eliminated my redness but slowly clearing the rest of my acne (was light-moderate).

Cons:

Although my skin was left smooth right after using it, it became oily as the day progressed. You may have to buy larger individual more expensive bottles because the package might not last very long due to smaller amounts.

Its great, I'd recommend this to anyone. I've been dealing with acne for six months already. Nothing has worked as well as Clinique. I used to have alot of blemishes (small red marks) on my forehead and cheek but now are clear thanks to this product. It also cleared my cystic acne really quickly (very light, but they just wouldn't disappear).
