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).

Pros:

Clear skin!

Cons:

I find this product to be pretty drying.

I have combination skin and I usually get a few breakouts at a time. I saw an add for this line in a magazine and thought I should try it because my prom is coming up. When I did it worked very well for my skin it got rid of pretty much every blemish that I had. But, after about 5 days I started to notice that it was really drying out my skin so instead of putting the medicated moisturizer I put on La Mer cream on where I feel my skin is dry but other then the dry parts - which can be cured easily, this product is great!

Pros:

Fast results, very easy to use.

Cons:

Smells a little like paint & the moisterizer makes skin feels dry.

I have very mild acne. I am 24, I have had cleared skin all throughout my like until about 5 months ago. I guess stress just took a toll on me. My friend recommended the 3 step system from clinique, so I went out & tried it. The lady at the counter said I should get the regular kind considering I don't have full blown acne. It worked well the fist 2 weeks but then I would breakout with 1 to 5 pimple a week. So I just purchased the acne 3 step system starter kit & so far I can see a tremendous change. Yes, it does make my face dry & stings just a little bit (because my skin is very sensitive) but not as bad a proctive did. For the dryness I would use the moisterizer for dry skin. & Afterwards I would use the spot treatment & then the acne treated concealer. Right now it's working wonderfully for me!

Pros:

You can try all three in the smaller size 3 pack before spending more for th eindividual bottles

Cons:

This really, really dried my skin out which in turn really aggrevated my skin & made me breakout more.

This treatment really did a number as far as drying out my skin to the point where I had big patchy sections on my skin. I reduced the final step to every other day and applied a moisturizer twice daily but I continued breaking out. I had to stop the treatment halfway through because my skin looked horrible. I moved on to Alpha Hydrox oilfree and three days later my skin is noticably clearer w/ no dying at all. I'm hoping this one works and will review it in a few weeks.

Pros:

no scent to aggravate skin, not too harsh on skin, easy to dispense,slowly pulls out deep imbedded dirts and oils (blackheads,white heads)

Cons:

i guess so far the only con would be the dry tightness you may feel if you do not use dramaticaly different lotion in the morning

i have some really really stubborn acne. ive definately been through it all and nothing has seemed to work as well as this is in the first week even! my face feels very smooth, and i noticed a few small white heads, which probably is my skin being purged, no oilyness or dry patches, and it seems as if my blackheads are fading and my pores are getting tighter(less noticable) all i need now is something for the red marks!!

Pros:

It didn't iritate my skin and my skin cleared up within a couple of days

Cons:

None

I usually don't write reviews but I just had to write one on this product because it actually works. I use to have really bad acne. I've used Proactiv, Nature's Cure, AcneFree, Clean and Clear and so much more and none of them worked. But this product works fast and I haven't had a single zit since.

Pros:

Non-drying. Easy to use. Does not smell weird.

Cons:

Expensive and takes 3 months to fully work though I saw some results within days.

If you are patient, it does work. I use these products religiously twice a day everyday - no exceptions! Every month, around my ovulation and period, I get 1-2 almost pimples but they never fully materialize and they are gone within 2-3 days. I'm happy I stuck with this product. It's the first I found that works for me and I think it is because it combines salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Most lines are one or the other and that did not seem to work for me. Good luck on your quest to be acne free!
