The amazing thing about All Clinique products is that they are dermatologist tested and 100% fragrance free.

The Clinique line of products does not offer a quick-fix, overnight difference. The formulas work over a period of time, which provides a gentle transition into younger, flawless skin. It may take up to 4 months before you reap the benefits of the Acne Solutions line.

If you are seriously starting to have doubts, I recommend that you go back and talk with your consultant. You might discover that a different strength is needed.

Also consider your lifestyle. Are you exercising enough? Are you eating healthy, maintaining your weight, and engaging in stress-relieving activities? These could also be things that need addressing that will help in you goal.

Answer 4

if it has salicylic acid in it then it will work on fixing your acne. that is the main ingredient in most acne medications. most of the time you need to give a new treatment about 3 to 4 months before noticing a big difference.

clinique's foundations are GREAT for oily skin. although i have a combination skin i still use their foundation. i love it. it is the only kind of foundation i use.(i use the compact that is both a foundation and a powder.) go to the clinique counter and they will give you a make over for free.

i would NOT go with PROACTIVE. although the commercials seem very hopeful it tends to work and then not work.

i hope this helped!

Answer 6

if you want to get rid of all the acne, you should not only clean your face, but to start eating healthy. and i would definitely recomend proactiv solution for the acne. or if you have very oily skin and large pores. you should try Biore minimizing pores, products, they are great.
clinique products are great if you have a lot of allergies to other brands or makeup and or skin products, but, they are ones that you need to be very consistent with them, you gotta stick with it, to keep your face clean. and they can be a little expensive. you can get a great non oily foundation and other makeup products from mark(avon). go to www.meetmark.com they are not very expensive and they have a great foundation for oily skin.

Answer 7

Only on greasy teen-age skin. It's not very good for older skin. I like Paula's Choice- it's much gentler!

Also, try a mineral foundation- there are many options in a variety of price ranges!

Answer 8

I can't answer that, I think any beauty product works to some extent, but don't expect what they claim they do!
If you think you have Acne I would suggest you seek the advice of a dermatologist. He can give you products or medication that will definitely help with it.
Good luck!

Answer 9

If you have acne, use proactive and that should clear it up. Try to lay off the makeup until your skin gets better...just work on keeping it clean.

I also have really oily skin and have found a great concealer from MAC that I love...

Answer 10

Proactiv works much better than Clinique! I have totally clear skin now because of it. BUY IT!
