I bought a few items out of Clinique's acne line and I think this is the only one that impressed me. I can definitely see the acne gets better after applying it a day or two(To me it works the best...

Ugh. I don't know about this product. :/ I tried it yesterday on these 3 whiteheads I had, but no luck. It did nothing. It just left this clear film on it. Even though it's still too early,...

I really love Clinique's other products in their Acne Solutions line. This one, not so much. It didn't really seem to do a whole lot while I was using it. I use Persagel instead. That seems to...

This stuff is beyond strong. When applied it stings and burns like crazy, but that goes away after 5-10 minutes. It doesn't reduce spots per se, but it peels and dries them, so it is useless for...

This can be a Holy Grail of spot treatment for me at the moment. I put this on an angry pimple and see it REDUCED ONLY IN 4 HOURS. Yes! Only with a small dabbing on the affected area - perhaps...

I love this product, I throw it in my purse when I feel a pimple popping up. If I catch it soon enough, it won't even emerge. Otherwise, I put it on whenever I feel the need to pick at the new...

I only used this two or three times. It was too drying and created more skin fissures around the cyst. I then had more problems to try to heal. Use with caution if your skin is sensitive.

I woke up with a big zit throbbing on my nose, so I went out and bought this. By the end of the day, Mt. Zit was gone. This has worked quickly and a little goes a long way.

This product works really well for that big spot pimple. The bottle is really small, but a little goes a long way. It works really well for me. You apply it to clean and moisturized skin. Your...

I don't really see this as a 'healing' gel, as it has the same drying/stinging effect on skin as pure rubbing alcohol. The gel is runny, strongly scented and not particularly effective at...

This stung my skin upon applying. I'm not quite sure if it did anything beneficial. At least the pimples didn't get bigger? I'd wake up and they would look exactly the same.
