Good Moisturizer

April 10, 2012
Pros: great when used with the 3 step acne solutions
Cons: small size, dries fast, not creamy enough
"This is a good Moisturizer. Its not my favorite, but I have noticed a difference on my skin. Using all three Acne solutions products together seems to work amazing. I dont think I will use the moisturizer by itself. I only wish that the moisturizer came in a bigger size and wish it was a bit more creamier. I always finished the moisturizer before the other 2 Acne solution products, therefore, I wish there was a bigger size available to buy."

acne skin line is the best!!

April 4, 2012
Pros: acne solution line is wonderful!
Cons: there is not a negative thing that i can say..
"After using another line of make-up for years I began to have cyst like breakouts. Might I add the other make-up line was more expensive too but any way I had enough with the embarressing breakouts all the time and decided to give Clinique a try. This was the BEST THING I COULDVE DONE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ACNE SOLUTION WHOLE SKIN LINE INCLUDING THE MAKE-UP!!! PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK I WILL BE FOREVER A CLINIQUE CUSTOMER!!! NOW I HAVE BEAUTIFUL SKIN AGAIN AND PEOPLE LOVE MY NEW LOOK!!"

What I've been looking for

March 4, 2012
"I've been using this for almost two months, and in that time I've not had one breakout. My skin is smooth, clear, and healthy. I'm in my late thirties and I've been dealing with acne breakouts since my early adolescence. I use this with the Acne Solutions cleanser, and this combination has been amazing for me."

Smells Terrible

February 19, 2012
Pros: smooth
Cons: smell, drying
"I would have given this moisturizer a try for a lilttle while longer than a week but the smell is unbearable. I feel like after walking out the house it's all i smell and cant help but wonder if thats what other people would be smelling on me. It is also drying and leaves my face crinkly. As a leave on product the smell definitely needs to be improved."

Best OTC acne med

February 9, 2012
"I have tried benzoyl peroxides, steroids and retinoids in the past. Of all otc benzoyl peroxides, Clinique's is probably the best. I usually break out just as about I am to have my period but for the last 2 months that I have been using this moisturizer twice a day, I couldn't tell if I'm pms'ing or not because my skin is clear. I still have a lot of open pores and comedones but definitely the cystic acne has lessened dramatically."

hydrates just enough

January 29, 2012
Pros: hydrates just enough
Cons: doesn't as long as preferable
"My skin is very oily in some place such as my forehead and nose. I thought that I wouldn't need moisturizer because of that. But, after reading online and watching videos from this website I found out that you should use moisturizer. If you don't and constantly try to dry out your face, it's like your skin going, "I'm dyeing of thirst, need liquid." Therefore, it feels the need to produce more oil. After using this my skin isn't half as oily as it use to be and my skin isn't dried out after using the acne steps."

Works

January 26, 2012
"This works quite well at clearing breakouts, but is drying and almost gritty in texture. I will continue to use it, though because my face looks so much better after using it."

Wonderful for oily breakout skin

January 18, 2012
Pros: gently clears acne, feels light, reduces redness, more gentle than other benzoyl peroxide products, lightly moisturizes
"I suffer adult acne and very oily skin that is also sensitive (redness, allergies, sometimes combination/dry cheeks, the whole nine yards.) This is wonderful for my skin.
I was skeptical because other moisturizers make me break out (no matter how large of print they scream non omedegenic) and/or feel greasy, make me more oily.
I just use a small bit of this (my first tube lasted me forever, I am now about to order my third I believe) and it helps keep my acne under control (benzoyl peroxide in it) and it feels so light, like nothing on my face, yet my skin feels relieved from the dry/flakiness, and over time feels softer.
I use a salacylic makeup during the day, and this at night.
I have sometimes worn this during the day if I am not wearing salacylic makeup over it and not going to be in the sun, just because I love how this makes my skin look and feel - soft, less red, and slowly gently clears my acne. (Do nott wear benzyol peroxide in the sun, or mix with salacylic products)
For me, this relieves the redness, makes my skin feel soft/ moisturized without oiliness, and I have less "side effects" than other benzoyl peroxide medicines. I have cut back on my usual non-Clinique brand benzyol product in favor of this."

Real Acne Solution!

January 16, 2012
Pros: clears acne immediately, prevents acne
"I have always had oily skin and it wasn't until I started this system that I had slightly dry skin at first, but this lotion is the perfect answer. I have never ever found a moisturizer that didn't clog my pores and inflame my acne until I tried this. Paired with the other parts of the system, acne is no match! The clear skin I have is my favorite part of my body now!"

Awesome Stuff

January 12, 2012
Pros: works, clears acne
Cons: dries out skin
"I use the three step and ever since i have started this system, my acne is GONE ! This third step is so great, it really does help prevent and treat acne and FAST ! I will say it does dry my skin out, but no worries just add your favorite moisturizer as a 4th step and that problem is gone ! When I put this moisturizer on I give it a few min to soak in before adding that extra boost of moisturizer. I love it and you will too :) If you are wondering what moisturizer to use on acne prone skin, I recommend Moister Surge, it is a pinkish gel and does not irritate your skin."

Rarity in Moisturization

October 29, 2011
Pros: lightweight
"I have oily skin, and have always shied away from using moisturizer as it usually makes my face really greasy and gross. I've heard many good things about Clinique skincare, and I ended up purchasing the Acne Control 3-Step. This moisturizer is so lightweight and makes my skin feel completely comfortable yet still oil-free."

Cystic acne cleared in a week!

October 24, 2011
Pros: prevents and clears up breakouts, controls shine
Cons: dries skin out a bit
"I purchased the Clinique Acne Clarifying Lotion and the Acne Moisturizer to try to clear up breakouts on my forehead, chin, and neck (specifically the cystic kind that just form and sit under the skin for weeks). I had previously tried other less expensive medicated products (both Salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide) with no results. After using both the Clarifying Lotion and Acne Moisturizer, almost ALL of my breakouts were gone within 7-10 days. I have noticed if I use both products twice a day, acne clears up quickly, but does dry out my skin. Using the Clarifying Lotion only once per day (or alternatively, using only the Clarifying Lotion at night, and not using cleanser or lotion) seems to alleviate the dryness. I use the Acne products only on my forehead and chin, or any other trouble spots. I use other oil-free Clinique moisturizers on the rest of my face. The Acne products are unbelievably effective at controlling acne and shine. Love these products!"

Good product, poor packaging

September 21, 2011
Pros: feels light on skin
Cons: product gets clumpy when settling
"I like the moisturizer itself but the packaging leaves something to be desired. The product clumps around the end of the tube while not in use and the product comes out with pieces of hardened moisturizer. It makes it difficult to apply. The product can be drying to most skin but i usually use a small amount of this and then another oil free moisturizer over this."

Great but very dryig

September 19, 2011
Pros: cleared skin
Cons: very drying
"This moisturizer is great for clearing skin. I use it only at night cause it's supper drying and I use Youth Defense during the day, it has SPF in it and keeps my skin from getting too dry. I saw less bumps in a day!"

Drink it up

September 17, 2011
"I didn't use moisturizer for a long time (horrible I know)because I was afraid of adding more oil to my already oily skin. When I finally started using it, I still had issues, because a lot of moisturizers can be very heavy and/or have oil in them, which cause me to break out.
This however, is perfect. just the right amount of moisturize my skin, and prevent break outs! Can't do better then that.
A lot of people say the acne solutions line dries out their skin. I only use it once a day, int he morning and in the evening, just use a face cloth to get rid of the make up. So it doesn''t dried out my skin."

Nice treatment.

September 6, 2011
Pros: nice feel, good for my extra oily skin
Cons: none so far
"I really like the feel of this treatment on my skin. It's too soon to tell if it will clear up my stubborn acne but usually benzoyl peroxide does the trick. I was hesitant to buy this because benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabrics and hair. Especially eyebrows. But having tried everything else I thought what do I have to lose? I'll just be extra careful not to apply it to my jawline so it won't get on my collars. And I can always tint my eyebrows!!! ;)"

Great buy

August 29, 2011
Pros: helps reduce spots and shiny skin
"This moisturizer has been great for my skin. I had suffered with spots and shiny skin for years but now get very few spots and this moisturizer makes my skin far less shiny."

It's average...

August 28, 2011
Pros: benzoyl peroxide medication
Cons: dries out skin
"I am giving up on this product. I've tried finding where this product fits-in in a regimen, but haven't quite gotten it. It in no way moisturized my face (but leaves behind a residue that makes applying moisturizer quite difficult!). But moisturizing isn't what I bought this for. After going to the Clinique Counter, I have decided Clinique's Acne Spot Gel Lotion is more in tune with what I need (a peroxide treatment)"
