-12.18.12
at first i thoughtit was gonna be a godsend. everything started clearing up the first few days. then after a week i started breaking out horribly. i figured it was just clensing like id expect but it seemed to make the breakouts last longer. they would come to a head so i could pinch them out and it would die down but it would be a red spot for longer then they normally would be. after iaboutt 3 weeks i thought everything was clearing up but i broke out again in places i never broke out like on my cheeks. ive been using it for a month now and unless it actually stays clear after this outbreak ill just finish up this sample and keep looking for something else. the cleaner doesnt take off makeup well. but i really like the toner i might just buy that again.

Awesome
-12.18.12
This starter kit is really worth it! After having mostly clear skin in my early 20's I have been really frustrated that the past year and a half my skin has gone crazy. I have tried everything from Alba Acnedote to Murad and haven't had much luck. I have only been using this kit for two weeks and have seen incredible results. I still have one or two blemishes but my skin feels smoother and pores are smaller. I think the only thing to be aware of is because of the Benzoyl Peroxide in the moisturizer you can get some dry spots but I just use a different moisturizer over the area. And the face wash I think will run out before the 30 days is up. They recommend using 1-3 pumps per use. I have been using 1-1.5 pumps and the bottle as of this morning is a little over halfway gone.
But I am liking this kit so much I might buy it once more and if it continues to give me great results i will buy the full size products without a second though!

-11.28.12
Quick Take: bit drying after i wash but it works!
I got a bonus sample of this from Sephora,I picked it for my sample because I am in my 40's and have been having some problem skin.I started using it and within a couple days I noticed a difference so much that I ordered this set and the large foam for my 2 nephews. Love it. I have used Clinique for years but have never tryed this.I do use the spot healing gel daily tho for the past 6 months but this stuff works! I love the soap,it can feel a bit drying but...clean and does the job.

Quick Take: good value, lifesaver, potent
Ahhhh.... finally after ten+ years of acne I am watching them disappear in literally a matter of days. The foam is very light but powerful the toner doesn't leave my skin dry and flaky like most brands. The little gel it comes with is your golden ticket when this baby touches your skin you can feel it working. Upon my first night i had zero redness smaller pores and even skin tone!!!Best X-mas gift to myself ever!!!!

AVOID THE MOISTURIZER IF YOUR ALLERGIC TO BENZOYL
-11.19.12
Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
Good news is all my acne is clearing up even the cystic acne but woke up with heavy puffy eyes a rash all along my jawline and neck area which is usually where i break out..I have always used products with salicylic acid and never had problems, every thing in this kit uses salicylic acid except for the moisturizer. I didnt know i was alergic to benzoyl peroxide until reading other peoples reviews about the moisturizer causing the same problems because they were allergic..but other than that my skin has cleared up so quickly just going to skip the moisturizer and use another oil free moisturizer. I would honestly give this kit 5 stars if it came with a moisturizer that didnt contain benzoyl peroxide so if your not allergic to it, this kit could be your solution for clear skin :)

Quick Take: very strong, quickly effective
This kit is not for the occasional acne sufferer. It is for those with real, constant acne. I have a few breakouts and this stuff stripped my skin to the point that it took a week to get rid of the dryness and flaking. I had to return it. It is highly effective, but it is not the right product for the average person. If acne is really a problem, then this will work for you.

a god-send.

The only acne treatment that doesn't dry out my face. I even got my boyfriend using it. Buying this smaller version was nice to try it out. I will be buying the full size as soon as I run out.

I tried this after Murad failed and over all I have been pretty happy with the results. After two weeks I have about three pimples, which is progress for me. I will purchase this product again, and the travel case makes it easy to tote to the gym and on trips, which I love.

Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
I've been going through a breakout phase and nothing worked, products would usually be too strong and make my skin dry and my acne worse. I've tried this kit before and I decided to come back to it. This system works! The moisturizer might not be moisturizing enough so I do use an additional separate one, but the rest of the products are perfect!

Amazing!
-10.16.12
This is such a great deal! I paid $20 for the face lotion alone and a full size bottle comes in this package. I just use the toner at night but the face lotion keeps my skin clear and not nearly as oily during the day. The spot treatment doesn't dry out my skin either. This kit will last me at least 2 months. Can't live without it!

Quick Take: travel-friendly, good value, drying, improves skin tone
This product worked very well, not only for getting rid of acne, but improving the look of my skin. I'm definitely buying larger versions once I run out. It is a little drying, but not too bad.

The greatest thing

Quick Take: good value
In High school I never suffered from acne, but now in my 2nd year of college I broke out with acne all over my right side of my face and forehead. I hated how my face looked I felt like everyone could see how bad my acne was. I'm a firm believer in natural oils and reemdies but that didnt work fast enough .I work in retail and the woman who works for Clinique suggested that I use this, I love this prouduct my skin is back to normal no more acnce,!!! I can feel beautiful again. Must buy!!

I am 32 years old and battling severe t-zone acne. I have been debating on purchasing Proactive but I remember using the Clinique Spot Treatment and it works almost overnight or within 2 nights. Thought I would try this 3 step with the spot treatment and I cant believe how much my face has cleared up considering I dont have insurance for my normal treatment from the Dermotologist. I highly recommend this product, you will not regret it.
