    After trying almost every type of product that promises clear, beautiful skin, I tried the Clinique Acne Solutions and finally got clear, beautiful skin! For $75 CDN you get the cleansing foam, cleasning loation and mositurizer, all tailored towards fighting acne. Within a few days, my skin started to clear up and fell smooth and looked clear. I also purchased the acne solutions body bar and on the spot treatment and both work successfully.
    If you have struggled with acne, I highly recommend trying this one out.

    I was really excited to buy this product after seeing it clear up my friend's acne. So I bought the trial size that lasted about 2 months. There is definitely not enough moisturizer in the trial sizes, as I ran out of it long before I ran out of the cleanser and toner. It worked fairly well, especially towards the end of the first month, I really saw the redness of my skin toning down, and NO MORE BREAKOUTS! I was ecstatic.

    I did really enjoy this product. Although, it may have been a little harsh for my skin, I found once I ran out of the moisturizer it was starting to dry out my skin. So next time, I may try their three step for combination skin.

    These products really helped my skin. I have oily skin and am prone to breakouts. Depending on your skin and the severity of the acne, results can be seen in as little as a few days. I recommend it!

    This product is great, I was searching for something to help clear up my skin and finally found it in these products. Although the products are expensive, they are well worth it. Plus, I think it's great that you can buy them separately too because the toner lasts a lot longer than the cleanser. The only gripe that I have about it is that the products do not smell that great.

    This product is awful. It did not work on my skin at all, it just dried it out horribly and made it itchy. It didn't get rid of my acne nor did it prevent it. I had high hopes for this product and was very disappointed. The bottles are small and the contents run out fast. I used this everyday, two times a day and didn't see any results. I don't recommend this product to anyone with moderate acne.

    I've been using this Clinique 3 steps for about a year now.
    I'm sure it differs with different skin types, but for the first few months of using this product, I recommend that you only use this once every other day. When I used it, the salyc acid that's in this acne product to treat your acne was a bit stronger than the other products that you can buy at the drug store. The delicate areas of my face and neck started hurting because the skin started chapping (even though I moisturized it with the step 3 moisturizer). The fact that it was in the winter time probably added to the painful effect.

    Don't get me wrong. This product is amazing! After one use, you will notice that the acne redness and swelling has reduced. My recommendation to you is that you just need to becareful how often you use it in the first couple of months.

    After using the product for a couple of months, my skin has become more immune to the product and I am able to use it everyday after I come home from work. Personally, Step 2 feels absolutely refreshing!

    Clinique has a travel size Step 1,2,3. For people who are thinking about trying out the product, they should start off with the travel size. It lasts about 2-3 months depending on how often you use it, but you will get a feel of how it suits your skin and if it works on your acne. =)

    Clinique 3 step system for acne. Unlike many acne treatments this system wont leave your skin tight and dry after you use it. The entire line is incredibly gentle so anyone can use it. Just remember that you need to remove your makeup before using and the toner needs to be shook up because there is powder at the bottom of the bottle that helps control shine. It really only takes one use to see it starting to work when I woke up the next morning my pimples where either gone or much smaller. These are the only products I've ever used that actually got rid of my black heads and has made my skin look so healthy. It is a little pricey but it's worth every penny. As long as I use it when I wake up in the morning and before I go to bed I don't break out.

    I have been using classic 3 step for combination skin in summer. It was great. It cleaned up all my acnes and made my skin feel really perfect.
    When it was finish I started using other brands as there was no Clinique store in my home city. When I moved to Mauritius I decided to but this Acne system. I gave abut 75 euros for 4 products in Dubai duty free - including that small acne spot product. Hmm.. it doesn't work. I am very dissapointed in this line.

    I wish I have bought the classic 3step instead of wasting so much money on this.

    My recommendations: If you have problems with your skin than clinique classic 3 step system is great! you just need to choose the right skin type for you. My sister has always got problems with acne, but after she tryed that for oily skin type she byes it everytime she flies somewhere.

    I bought the whole three step system and it did absolutely nothing for me. If anything it made me face break out more. But I stuck with it for the 4 weeks that they told me to and ended up returning it. It was a waste of my time and money. I should have just seen my dermatologist instead.

    So I purchased this product as a third step in my Clinique face-cleansing routine. My skin is ultra-sensitive and loves to react by breaking out, so my wash and toner are for sensitive skin, and my lotion (recommended by Clinique associates) is from the new Acne line.

    The first few times I used the product, I applied all over my face as I would normally do with any other moisturizer. Big mistake!!1 The lotion caused a terrible reaction on my skin making it look like I had a sunburn! Plus, my skin became very hot and itchy. After I stopped using the product my skin took about 2 weeks to flake off and return to normal.

    Now, I realise this sounds like a terrible review, but alas it is not. After putting the lotion away for a few weeks, I decided to give it another whirl, but this time with caution. I applied the lotion with a Q-Tip to any break-out spots. Just a little touch, and nowhere else. Well, my skin didn't react at all, in fact the lotion worked wonders on my acne. I had deep cystic zits that came out and cleared up within three days. I then realised that my skin was naturally reacting to the level of Benzoyl Peroxide in the lotion. So I recommend using it as a spot treatment.
