Clinique, I enjoy this product very much.

Worth every pretty penny!!! I've been using Clinique for years, my mother introduced it to me and I've never looked back!

Before finding this product I tried everything on the market to get rid of my cystic, painful acne. I tried drugstore cleansers, and even pro active but they did nothing but make it worse. Since finding this line, my skin has been blemish free for so long and I only have tiny white heads very rarely but this line clears it up fast.

I have used this system for years. It's pretty amazing. I don't like the price, but the quality is great! Clinique's system works for me because I have always had sensitive skin. This doesn't always get rid completely of acne, but it sure keeps in under control

This is yet another of the many acne products I've tried. If you have sensitive skin I would not recommend this product, despite the claim that it's for all skin types. I would say I had moderate acne and this system made my skin look really great for about the first week or two. Afterwards it was just dry, red, tight, and itchy and the pimples were large and painful.

The clearing treatment (3rd step), which they claim is also a light moisturizer, contains 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and is in no way moisturizing at all. I believe this was the root of the problems I was experiencing. Even using a normal moisturizer after this step did nothing to fix the issues in my case. This product also ran out well before the other two. Luckily you can buy each product separately.

The cleanser (1st step) is a foaming cleanser. It was not the greatest at removing all my makeup (I usually had to use it twice), but it did make my skin feel fresh and clean. This was probably the only product in the set that I didn't mind, but I still would not repurchase it.

The toner (2nd step) was also pretty drying, but not nearly as bad as the clearing treatment.

The one product in this line that I did continue to repurchase for awhile (I've since found something I like better) was the emergency gel. It doesn't come in the actual set, but it's a spot treatment with 5% benzoyl peroxide. This oddly enough did not dry my skin out.

Overall, not a good product for people with sensitive skin, but might work well for someone who is not so sensitive. I would also recommend using a separate moisturizer after the three steps to anyone who is not extremely oily.

Works very well when used everyday.

I have sensitive skin, so I am EXTREMELY cautious about what I put on my face. This system works better than most I have tried. If you have acne in other places, it works there, too! This product leaves me feeling clean beyond just the surface of my face.

I decided to try this product because I liked the regular Clinique 3-Step system but I wanted a product that would focus a bit more on my occasional breakouts and redness. Overall I like the classic 3-step system better because this one did not do exactly what I wanted it to. I did not like the cleansing foam at all because although it was gentle on my sensitive skin I did not feel like it really cleaned my skin deeply. There was still make-up left behind which irritated me, because I do not want to add an additional make-up remover to my routine. The cleansing lotion is great because I feel like it is actually doing its job and it removes the make-up left behind by the cleanser. Lastly, the lotion is incredibly strong and harsh, which I did not like. I do like the spot treatment but it contains salicylic acid as opposed to the benzoyl peroxide which my Clean & Clear spot treatment contains, and I find that product to be much more effective.

Overall I do not think I will repurchase any of the products in this system. I like many of the benefits of Clinique skin care products but none of them are exactly what I am looking for. The regular cleanser does nothing for my mild acne, while the acne products are too strong for my sensitive skin. I would recommend this product to someone with moderate acne because it was certainly effective but I think it is too strong for someone with mild acne such as myself.

Just to set the record straight, I have terrible acne. I have tried so many products, and luckily I found some help in the proactive system. Normally I stand behind all Clinique products, however, this did nothing for my skin. I found my skin was more red and i even noticed I had more acne coming. I found my skin was dry and flakey and I just wanted to cover myself with a bag! Also, I purchased the spot treatment in hope that maybe it would help with some of the larger, more red pimples. However, they just ended up being tight and irritated. So please, dont spend the money on this product!

I have moderate acne and used this system because it was gift with purchase at the Clinique Counter and thought why not. Best decision ever! This system totally cleared up my face, and keeps my pimples at bay. The price is amazing compared to other high end brands such as murad or philosophy. The only downside of this system is that it is harsh so if you have sensitive skin stay away! Fortunately my skin is super tough and I was able to use this line without any issues.
