Pros:

-Clears Acne
-Controls oily skin
-Not so expensive
-Clean face feeling

Cons:

-Dries skin
-Redness when you wash

Thia has been the product that's controlled my acne. Ive been trying many products out there and none seem to work out. With this product you see results in like 2 weeks, but don't give up finish the treatment that's when you get better results. I also drink plenty of water during the day. I reccomennd for you to buy a moisturizer that's oil free from clinique apply it once I finish the last step pf the system! Hope this works for you. P.s. acne is pain in the ass!

Pros:

Makes your completion evenly tonned

Cons:

expensive
dries out skin

I never had huge problems with my skin untill i started working at a pizzeria. I worked there for 9 months and by the end of it, my skin looked horrible. It was red, blotchy and I had little pimples and huge systic ance all over my cheeks. I always had used proactive but it stopped working for me so I tried Clean and clear advantage, facial scrubs, Acne Free, I've tried Zap it, every facial cream you can imagine, i've even tried baking soda and lemon juice on my pimples. Nothing worked, and all the washing left my skin extreemly red and blotchy. I went to the bon ton to check out clinique and the sales lady told me it would work for me, she said that at first my skin would get worse but after about a month it would get beter. I have been using clinique for 2 1/2 months now, I bought the mask, the little gel for hard to get rid of zits, and all the makeup that would "Help". For the first two weeks my skin was clearing up nice. Then, All of a sudden I had huge break outs for the next 3 weeks. It was so bad when I smiled my facehurt and I was so ashamed that I sat in my room for a week taking benadril and sleeping, watching TV, and washing my face. I had at least 5 huge systic acne pimples n each cheek, by my chin and all over my forhead. Now, I still keep getting pimple after pimple and now I have scars all down both sides of my face. I keep waking up in the morning hoping that clinique will start to help, but I've come to the conclusion it won't. This product was a waste of my time and money, and an extreem disapointment. The only thing it did for me was make my skin less blotchy, but I'd rather have blotchy skin then red scars all over my cheeks. It also left my skin extreemly dry, and now when i put on cover up all you can see is skin flaking which looks worse with my acne. I hate clinique, it ruined my skin. Be careful using this!

Pros:

~it will start working within a week!

Cons:

~the price
~this did not work for me
~It burns your face if you use it 2 times a day sometimes it burns even if you use it once
~makes your face dry

This stuff only worked for me for couple of weeks, then it made me break out even more and in the morning my skin got dry. When i use the cleansing mask, it makes my skin dry within 5 minutes and it's difficult to get off your face and your skin will be dry the entire day. Also, if you go swimming, and you use clinique, it makes your face super dry. And, don't switch back and forth over products because it will make your face even dryer Please don't waste your money on this product.

Pros:

Cleared up face

Cons:

Dried my face up, Didn't work as well as the first time I used it

I first started using this product about 6 months ago. It worked really well, cleared up everything within 4 days. However, my face got so dry from it that I had to stop using the product because not even regular moisturizer helped. Once I started again, It didn't work as well as it originally had

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..

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:

got rid of acne on cheek, nose, and forehead
prevented acne from forming
toner/moisturizers protected skin from flaking and kept it moistured
the toner has a really good cell turnover rate, where i just wiped off the dead skin cells
also got rid of some body acne

Cons:

was over my usual budget for acne medication plus another 75 dollars for brown spot serum (which I don't see progress)

I'm very happy with my results, however I didn't really have severe acne to begin with so I don't know how it'd work for people with that. I had mild acne along my cheeks and it took care of that. Overall I reccommend to all my friends, however warn them that it's really expensive. I don't think it's useful as a body acne med., but it did reduce some of it. I use the Clinique Acne solution line with PanOxyl foaming cleanser and the St. Ives Apricot blemish scrub, it's really works for me and now has became my regular skin routine. I totally reccomend it for people that are willing to splurge on their skin, and i t's worth it.

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:

None

Cons:

Severe rash from using it just once
Dries skin out severely
Too expensive for the result I got

I had used Clinique Acne solutions in the past and it worked great - they must have changed the formula. I bought this on Monday, used the three steps before bed Monday night. Tuesday morning my face felt a little dry and was red, as if I had a slight sunburn. As the day wore on, it got redder, felt tight and itchy and started to burn. Wednesday morning my face is very red, tight and itchy. This is worse than the reaction I got with Proactiv, which I used three times. With Proactiv I ended up in emergency after my eyes started to swell shut. I would not recommend this product if you have sensitive skin. The combination of salicylic acid in the cleanser and toner with the benzoyl peroxide in the moisturizer is a deal breaker for me. I will be asking for a full refund ASAP.
