    it's great!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] i enjoy using this acne clearing gel! i had a pimple pop up on my cheek, so i applied this to see how it would help. by the morning i noticed less redness and a reduced size of my pimple! i'm always thankful to find new acne products that work for my acne, not against it. having sensitive skin that can be difficult sometimes! so i would definitely recommend this product to anyone who struggles with acne to get things a little more under control.

    Significantly reduced acne spots overnight

    I received Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Advanced Clearing Gel in exchange for my honest review. I get chin acne and this product made a noticeable difference in the appearance of my skin after I applied it and let it work overnight. The gel goes on clear so it could be applied underneath makeup or serums. The smell is not terrible. It contains 2% salicylic acid.

    Great for spot treatments

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love using this for spot treatments as it helps dry out acne much faster than some of the other products I've tried in the past. It doesn't irritate my skin which is a plus.

    Acne treatment

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've had amazing results using this product. Doesn't take a bunch to cover the pimple and doesn't have an overwhelming smell either. I love the design of the bottle amd the uniqueness of tue box it came in. I applied my medication as soon as I started feeling the acne starting and the results were definitely noticeable earlier.

    Ignore the smell!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I recently rediscovered salicylic acid products, and I haven't used this brand Clinique in 10 years so I was excited to try the product! The gel is clear and thin and not too sticky to put on. However the SMELL is horrible, kind of like putting pure rubbing alcohol on your face. I wasn't too optimistic about the product but when I woke up in the morning my face was not dry and tight, my pores had shrunk and all my acne was gone. I was about to get my period so I had one under the surface pimple and when I woke up it had come to a perfect head. This stuff clearly works! I guess I will have to stomach the smell!

    My skin is loving Clinique even more!

    [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Acne Solutions Clinical Advanced Clearing Gel is amazing! Works like a charm without drying out the adjacent areas. Worked fast as well. LOVE that it is made in the USA! ONLY negative would be the smell - but it disappears quickly.

    My teenager loves this

    My kid has had really persistent acne since 4th grade and we have tried it all (masks & spot treatments & cleansers & moisturizers & patches) but this is the first thing that consistently works across their whole face. I cannot recommend this product enough.

    It works, but buyer beware

    This product did help reduce a couple of pimples I had recently. However, I have naturally dry/sensitive skin and this product dried those spots out a LOT! I'm talking peeling, parched, tender dry!! Perhaps I had a reaction but I caution anyone with dry skin or sensitive skin to use this carefully!

    very pleasantly surprised!

    ive been struggling with acne for more than ten years and this has helped me clear my skin way more in less than two weeks than any other product ive used for years. it is very drying but paired with a salicylic acid serum and the cerave moisturizer i literally have glass skin now. definitely worth the money.

    Absolutely In Love!!!

    I've never really had acne growing up but as I've started to age I have been getting some really stubborn acne. Specifically across my forehead, along my cheek bones and along my jaw line. I was given this product as a free samply and absolutely fell in love with it!! I do have extremely sensitive skin so I only apply directly to my pimples. It works wonders! Those stubborn pimples that stay under the skin, gone! It's like my super hero against these breakouts, finally got my full size and I'm so happy. Had a recent breakout from stress but I know it'll be completely clear in 2 weeks. Thank you Clinique!!!

    Best Acne Treatment

    I received it as a sample, but event small amount of product showed how good it at acne treatment. Only after testing it, I ordered another package of 15 ml. I don't need much of the product as I apply it only on the acne spot (not the whole face), which I rarely have.

    Missing

    I would love to write a review, but unfortunately, this package is missing. The photo shows UPS delivering it along with a larger package around 12:22 p.m., but when I went to retrieve it around 3 p.m., only the large package was there. I'm confused and out of a package.

    Great for HS

    I use this product to alleviate a dermatological condition and it works fast to bring down inflammation. Bonus: My husband also loves it for addressing a random breakout. The travel size is wonderful but we buy in bulk because it's such a staple for us.
