Pros:

Clears up your face, exfoliates skin so it glows, and it feels refreshing.

Cons:

A bit pricy, you'll still break out a bit, the moistruizer dried my face out, so I just switched to the regular dramatically different moisturizer and it works fine.

It's a great product. I used to use some prescription face washes and gels from the doctor, but it just dried out my skin horribly and did little to help. With Clinique, I still break out, but it's a lot better than before and only a little bit. Also, it not only prevents acne but makes your skin smoother and makes it look better. After only a week, my skin looked much better. Overall, I recommend it tremendously and it's a lot better than anything I've used.

Pros:

My face is smoother from the exfoliator its a must have removes blackheads and leaves my face feeling so smooth and glowing and my most problem areas on my face have improved .

Cons:

The moisturizer is a little drying can cause flaking at times.

This product has worked the best for me I've tried proactive,nuetrogena,clearasil and this has worked the best I saw results after just 2 weeks.

Pros:

It dried out my acne and made it less visible.

Cons:

It dried out my whole face completely to the point where my skin was flaking off. I decided to take a break from it and start up again later, when I used it a second time, my skin didn't react to it at all and just continued to break out.

Would not recommend this product. Contains too much alcohol.

Cons:

That i didn't find it sooner

Pros:

it had nice packaging, it was a brand i had heard if and was well known, i got a refund when i took it back

Cons:

it made my skin worse than before, it dried my skin out so i couldnt even cover it up with makeup, it cost more than most suppposed acne solutions

this really didnt work for my skin and i regret buying it as my skin was awful for weeks however it did work for one of my friends so before buying i recommend getting little tester sizes or atleast check you will be able to return it and get a refund if it doesnt work. i just want to say every product is different for everyones skin and even though there are lots of fantastic reviews on here, which is what convinced me to buy it, IT ISNT A MIRACLE CURE ! but then again what product is

Pros:

I only have breakouts once a month and I generally use Neutrogena products. Tried this as a sample, and bought more right away. My skin feels so soft and the acne is gone in two days as opposed to 5 with Neutrogena. Does not dry my skin at all.

Cons:

The price. I love that it is sold as a system, but for $32.50 for three small bottles, I will be using this sparingly and keeping to Neutrogena in between breakouts.

If you have the extra cash, it is so worth it. I can't speak for people who have severe acne, but it definitely meets the needs of those of us who have our "monthly" breakouts and a few stress pimples in between.

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:

Makes skin really soft after using it a while.

Cons:

It just makes my skin brake out more and more... it clears out for a few days but then it all comes back again... :( Its never ending!!! My skin has not cleared and ive been using it for over 4 months!

I dont know if it was made to help my type of acne.. i have lots of whiteheads that tend to turn into zits! So annoying! They wont disappear any other way! But they are coming out (although it is taking a VERY long time and scaring my skin EVERYWHERE!)so im hoping that after a year (hopefully not more than that) all my whiteheads will come out (buy turning into those ugly zits) and i'll finally be free. I think its this product that is making them come out, though not at all in a good way! Overall of you dont want scarring DONT use this!!!

Pros:

Gentle, doesn't dry my skin unless I use too much of the spot treatment.

Cons:

Can get expensive - and isn't treating my summer skin as well.

I have the whole line - recently added the body bar and body spray , in the hopes of clearing of my chest and back. Plus, my face is even breaking out more now, so much so that I'm working from home today, since one of my eyes is swollen half shut from a zit on my eyebrow!! Seems that it's not strong enough to combat summer sweat. Plus working out has caused my body to break out more and Clinique isn't fixing it. I've tried Proactiv and some Target-purchased stuff - not sure if I'll stick with Clinique or not.
