Pros:

clears up acne

Cons:

price, but worth it

This product is great for us! My 13 year old was prescribed Differin Gel from her dermatologist, her face broke out severely (IB), was swollen, burned and was red. Called dermatologist, he asked to reduce treatment to 3 times a week. Well, my daughter refused to put it on her face again, she was so depressed b/c of the way her face looked. I went out and purchased Clinique Acne Solutions 3 step system for her and honestly, within 3 days, her face was noticeable clearer. Here we are 2 weeks into it and there is a huge difference in her skin. The only thing I would recommed would be to purchase the Cleansing bar instead of the Foam cleaner, due to the soap will last longer. Also, you must use a moisturizer as it does dry out skin. These are small cons to us due to the results she has gotten.

Pros:

- Works fast
- Gentle
- Evens skin tone
- Clears redness
- Shrinks Pores

Cons:

- If you don't use all three steps it doesn't work

This product is by far the best I have ever used. It cleared my acne after years of trying different products. Not only does it clear my acne but it heals my skin so that I won't have such severe breakouts. I recommend this product to anyone who has stubborn acne that just won't seem to go away.

Pros:

-clears acne quickly
-helps control oil and shine
-reduces redness and blemishes
-evens out skin tone

Cons:

-dries out skin so extra moisturizing lotion is necessary

I used pro-active for years and wanted to try a new product to help control my acne. My acne is not terrible; however, since high school I've struggled with a reasonable amount of acne. I was a little apprehensive to try something new, since my skin had adjusted to pro-active. After trying several different brands and having no success, I opted for Clinique Acne Solutions. Within 3 days, my face had already cleared and I was receiving many compliments. I'm very happy with the way my face looks now and I will continue using Acne Solutions. The benzol peroxide in the moisturizer is a little drying, although I use Clinique Age Defernce after to keep my skin hydrated. Great product and I highly recommend to those of you who struggle with adult acne!

Pros:

IT WORKS!!!
Gives you super glowing skin without makeup!!!

Cons:

Bit costly...
The foaming wash is not very effective in removing makeup or moisturizer.

This is the first proper acne treatment I've ever used and I wasn't expecting such good results. But it worked wonders for my skin. I always dreamed of having clear skin and now my skin is now so clear and glowing that I don't need to put any makeup on to cover my flaws. All my friends keep praising me for the lovely skin I have now. The only problem is that if you skip your routine for a couple of days your skin starts getting acne again...So you have to follow the routine religiously. I wish it also helped develop some immunity against acne too when you're not using it.

Pros:

Clears skin quickly
Makes skin feel clean
Softens skin
Fragrance Free

Cons:

Drying
3rd Step Runs out Quicker than the others
Price

From the first day I have used Clinique, my face has cleared up. I dont have very many pimples to begin with so this was able to clear almost all of them away in one day. The price isnt terrible, but it is a little expensive if you are buying it every month. It dried out my skin quite a bit so I have been using another moisturizer(Garnier Nutritionist Moisture Rescue Gel Cream). I would definitely reccomend it to people with light to moderate acne.

Pros:

cleared my skin without irritating it

Cons:

u need to use the moisturizing gel from clinique after the 3 steps so it wont over dry your skin.

i really like this kit! i got the smaller travel sized kit and it came with the spot treatment gel and i got it at sephora for $29.00 which is good :) it had made a huge difference in my skin, it mad all my pimples go away after 2 days! i just hope it keeps working this well after time. so far i love it!

Pros:

it did work better than proactiv.i get random breakouts in random places and proactiv made it worse.clinique acne soloutions made breakouts happen not nearly as much and didnt dry out my skin

Cons:

it is not consistant at all.and i had to use alot of it to have it to work.i still had my nose blackheads that havent gone away. now i have zits on my jawline which i have never had before.i need a much more reliable product.

it may prevent severe acne and does make skin healthy but doesnt leave my skin pimple free and doesnt prevent breakouts too well. for people with random breakouts it may not be for you.i am now searching for a product that is not too strong yet not weak like this product.this works better for adults not teens like me.disappointed with the money spent and the poor result.
