Pros:

It defenitely works! I just got it yesterday and i used it in the morning and before i went to bed! My skin totally looks a lot better! My mom told me that i look beautiful! I havent seen my face this clear in a long long long long time! Im sooooooooooo excited to use it tonight i cant wait to go to school and show people how good i really look!

Cons:

The price is really the only thing thats the problem. It was about $71 but thats because i bought some extra stuff too.

Overall this product works really well, i tried clearasil and clean & clear but that didnt work very well. I had flaky, dry, irritated skin all the time, and now my skin is soft and smooth on only the 2nd day! I love this product and i would definitely recommend clinique for makeup products, and skin care products. Its always been a big help to me and i'm sure it would be for you too. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! take my advice and at least consider buying this! It works really well and i'd really like everyone else that struggles with stress related acne and other, similar types to be astonished by this product and releaved as much as i was.

Pros:

It works
No extra chemicals, gunk on your face
IT HAS WORKED FOR ME

Cons:

I spend too much money at the Clinique counter!
A little inconvenient to buy

Bottom Line: I'm 25 years old, I've had stress related acne (hard red bumps all over my cheeks) breakouts/scars for over 8 years now. I have literally tried everything. Everything at the drugstore, expensive, cheap, 3-step, 5-step, all natural, gentle scrubbing, reading reading reading reviews on different products, many products off of acne.org, Proactiv, twice a month microdermabrasion facials, blu-light, expensive laser treatments. Literally for me to have clear skin is priceless. Bottom line: this is the ONLY product I have used that makes me happy. My skin isn't perfect, I still gets bumps, but drastically less than I did before. If I run out and use other product that I have lying around I tend to break out again. But for the most part my skin is mostly clear and I'm much more confident. Regimin: I use the regular cleanser to wash makeup off my face at the end of the day, then the foaming cleanser, then the astringent, and spot treat with the salicylic spot treatment. I haven't used the moisturizer in this kit, but the yellow daily moisturizer is really light and refreshing. I also use Clinique foundation because it doesn't have a lot of additives and I think my CoverGirl makeup was contributing to my breakouts. The only con: it's a little inconvenient to go to the mall to buy more, plus the sales ladies are so good and they always have specials that I spend more than I plan on every time! But you can order online and you can have them send you new product every 30 days etc. whatever you choose. Again bottom line from a girl that has tried EVERYTHING you have nothing to lose to try it. I was always the 2% statistic that products didn't work for and I'm happy with these products. Please give Clinique a chance!

Pros:

Cleared up my acne and my skin feels softer than before.

Cons:

None that I've noticed!

I used to use a combination of Clearasil and oil of Olay which worked okay but never completely cleared my skin. When I turned 30 I decided to try the Clinique acne solutions line. I wish I had started earlier! Almost all of my acne is gone, just an occasional blemish or 2 pop up monthly. My overall skin tone has also improved. After years of feeling terrible about my skin this has worked wonders. I definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Eveything about it! Started to use it for my super oily skin and moderate teen acne. My skin is now super soft and smooth.

Cons:

Nothing at all! (except the price but is worth every penny.)

Used it after I tried Netrogena and clean and clear which worked but not as much as Clinique 3-step acne system. My skin looks amazing and I use the TURNAROUND CONCENTRATE which is the best combination EVER! Recommed to any one!

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 has saved me tons of heartache in searching for another solution to my acne. I started using this product about two years ago and there is no looking back. I couldn't leave the house to run to the store without make-up before.

Cons:

It is a bit pricey, but now i just time it with clinique bonus time and it seems like a great treat.

My complexion is completly clear now and has been since i started using it. For those of you who had terrible outbreaks with it, it sounds ike maybe an allergic reaction, also it may take up to 6 weeks for your skin to cleanse itself and for the product to work its magic. I highly reccomed this to anyone having acne troubles. I had tried everything including Acutane which is really harsh and quite dangerous. I had struggled with acne since my teens and now i don't have to worry about it. My only wish is i'd found it sooner.

Pros:

Seems to brighten skin. Reduced break-outs, recudes the healing time acne. My skin is oily, so I don't find it drying like others. It's very nice, just remember to use it regularly.

Cons:

Kinda expensive, but it works. 70 CDN for the three step (full size) kit.

It's good, just know that it is a strong solution and it will take a few weeks for a true result.

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:

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.
