Gamechanger for acne/healthy skin
Background: I have had acne since my teens. I'm now almost 40. I've used Proactiv for many years now, but I still had breakouts (especially hormonal ones and on my chin in particular).
On a whim, I added this as another step (in between toner and moisturizer). Within two weeks, I realized I had not had a single breakout and my skin was smoother than ever before. It's now been a couple of months and I've had one or two tiny (no one else sees them except me) kinda pimples. Nothing large, nothing red, nothing raised on my skin. I am so thrilled with this product and really did not expect any change at all. It is the only thing I changed (no makeup changes, so face soap changes- still using Proactiv), so I know it's this product specifically making the difference. Worth. every. penny.

Made me break out
So disappointed, it did the opposite of what I wanted and made me break out.

Great for Acne & Fine Lines
This is the first time that I have used this particular product, and it beat my expectations. The serum works quickly on acne, much like the acne solutions clinical clearing gel. It does not dry out your skin and I have seen a dramatic improvement on the fine lines on my forehead.

Double Agent Serum
Finally! An anti aging, line correcting serum that doesn't make this girl's face break out. I have oily skin and have struggled to find an anti-aging cream that doesn't clog my pores. Clinique Acne + Line Correcting serum is light weight and blends well with the dramatically different lotion gel. The consistency of the serum is light, it is comparable to the dramatically different lotion gel. Try this product! If you are a Clinique fan, this is a new staple. If you are new to this world, add this to your daily face routine.

Highly recommend
I didn’t think this made a difference until I ran out. It makes your face super smooth, it’s not drying at all, and helped to clear my skin. It’s not like your typical salicylic acid, so there’s no drying, or spot treatment, it’s not harsh, but works over time. I rarely buy the same thing twice, but did get this

works well
After reading the reviews…I gotta ask what y’all thought was gonna happen when you used this?
SALICYLIC ACID clears gunk from pores. It draws the gunk to the surface…OF COURSE you’re going to break out! That’s common knowledge & no dermatologist will tell you differently. This stuff works…you have to be patient & trust the process.

refreshing
I was hesitant that I was buying yet another useless acme product but this combined with the exfoliator works like a charm. Sometimes my skin dries out but I use the moisturizer and it helps a lot
