Most Helpful Positive Review The ONLY soap I use! I have been using Clinique Acne Solutions Bar Soap for around 25 years, since back when it still came in the original gray soap dish cases.
Coming from a family with a history of horrible full body acne, I had tried so many different soaps for acne before discovering the Clinique Acne Solutions line of products & Clinique Acne Solutions Bar Soap.
It's the only soap I use & trust. It's wonderful at helping control my acne & breakouts while being mild enough to not dry out or irritate my skin & cause more breakouts like many other brands of acne soaps that have extremely harsh chemicals.
I always buy at least 2 bars at a time so that I always have an extra band new bar on hand.
So that when I get down to the end of 1 bar, I always have a new bar there to use & not have to worry about using another soap that will surely dry out my skin.
But even with using it on my face & body every time I shower, 1 bar lasts for a very long time unlike other bar soaps for acne that run out after a very short time of use.
I tell everyone that it's the only soap I use.
I do & would recommend it to anyone that has acne prone skin & wants an acne soap that will control your acne without being full of harsh chemicals, dying out your skin & making you break out more.
Most Helpful Critical Review Body Use I use this on my body. It is a bit pricey considering I use one bar every two weeks or every week depending if I shower twice a day that week. I like that it has salicylic acid, which treats areas all over my body.

I LOVE this soap. I've been using it for a few years now and it's the only soap that has successfully prevented body breakouts due to high intensity workouts and heavy sweating. After getting out of the shower I also use Clinique's astringent. It's a power packed duo that has kept me from feeling like I needed to hide my skin because it was prone to breakouts. I have oily skin so it does dry me out...which is good for me. If you have dry skin, it may be a little to strong for your skin, but I still think it's worth a try or worth adding a body moisturizer.
this whole line helped me! 5
env from TX
I never struggled with acne until I got off birth control. Acne came at me horribly and I struggled to find something that helped until the whole acne solutions has helped me. This bar can be a little drying so I alternate it with the gel cleanser. But other than that this whole line is amazing and reasonably priced. After I wash my face I use the toner and also have the clearing gel for blemish spots that come up here and there.
Give it a try! 3
Eboni from California
I used this product for a while, but had to stop because it made me itch really bad. I would use my normal body wash and use this soap bar at the end (only where needed). I only seen a little improvement, but I think this could work for those who may not have sensitive skin.
Part of my daughter's beauty routine 5
Tammy from Yerevan Armenia
My daughter is a teenager and has recently been developing acne. She loves this bar very much. It doesn't dry out her sensitive skin.
Amazing 5
Ry from Kentucky
I have suffered with acne such a long time, I have tried every face wash possible and have been on multiple medications for my acne and i have to say that this cleanser has completely changed my skin for the better.
makes my skin clear 5
Olha from NJ
excellent remedy for oily skin, removes acne after two weeks
Body Acne 4
hailes16 from US
I use this bar solely for my back and chest to keep me clear—what has worked best for me is using a wash cloth or exfoliating mitten and a small amount of the Clinique bar (it lathers nicely so you only need a little bit—I've had the same bar for multiple months now), washing my back and chest and then letting the soap sit on the areas for about 2 minutes. When I get out of the shower I follow it up with Niacinmide and moisturizer, as it's a bit drying.
Not sure if this would be too harsh for the face, but I like it as a body acne solution! :)
So far so good, hard to handle in shower 4
Jess from Michigan
I use this in the shower after every workout and I do feel it's helped clear up some acne. I've been using for 2 weeks and am happy so far
I wanted to love this 3
Daryl from Boise
A few of my friends raved about this being amazing for their acne, so I decided to try it, and my skin has never looked worse - I feel like a teenager again, and not in a good way
Good cleanser! 4
Mouse from Oregon
I like this bar soap. It cleanses well but it also dries out skin so a moisturizer is a must. I have sensitive dry skin and If you have skin similar to mine I suggest only using this once a day.
I would buy this product again and again 5
Tam from Washington
Over all the product really works, I had a little break out and it was gone in 3 days. I wouldn't use this product all the time just in case your skin gets use to it.
I will buy this again and again 5
Linda from Pensacola FL
I am over 70 years old and still have oily skin. I have used drug store products for oily skin but they usually over dry with continued use. Clinique removes excess oil and my makeup without harsh chemicals and over drying. I use it at least three times a day and it lasts much longer than the drugstore variety.
Best cleansing bar! 5
Deeannlin from Eustis, Fl
This is the best cleansing bar for those of us with periodic adult acne. My face feels so clean and fresh after I use this! It's my daily go to!
Great for acne 5
Rachel from California
I bought this for my bf who has body acne and he loves it! He's picky af about what soap he uses. It's very gentle and hydrating, would recommend for acne troubled skin.

This is my favorite cleansing bar. It is very good for skin with acne, the main thing is not to dry the skin. Cleanses the skin well and fights acne.
Great for adult acne 5
bundysmom from Las vegas
Turned 40 and bam! Acne that I never dealt with as a teen. Ugh! Between my hormonal changes and hard water my face was like a map of the nighttime stars. Just awful! The original Clinique acne bar has always been too harsh for my skin so I was hesitant to try this...I did so out of desperation. OMG within a week my acne cleared up!!! I also break out along my bikini line and this has helped with that too. Rinses clean. My skin is Not tight or dry after use. I actually do a double cleanse with this & an anti-aging cleanser and my skin looks soooo much better. Has become a staple in my bathroom. Love the case...keeps the bar from getting water logged, slimy & drying out.
Wouldn't recommend 2
morgsh04 from Al
I've tried several of acne body washes and I read all good reviews on this product and love the Clinique brand but I wasn't impressed with this product. I've been using it for over a month and I am still not seeing no results.
Breakout free skin 5
MGR from TX
I love this soap! It's great for the body and face. Not too harsh on my skin. Helps to control t-zone. I have used this for many years with no issues.

Works for acne on the back 5
Anna from New York
Bought this for my partner because he has acne on the back and upper arms. He has been using it for more than 2 weeks, and we could see improvements! It is a nice soap to have in the bathroom.
Not my luck 2
Aisy from Virginia Beach
Was so excited about this soap after reading reviews, but i guess it's just not my luck - soap didn't fit my skin. Which is I do have pretty oily skin with acne on my back. After a couple times of using it I end up with awful allergy reaction / contact dermatitis. Which is I made sure my skin was moisturized after using the soap. Well, truly another awful experience with Clinique product. Happy if it fit you, well it happens, but sad in the same time.

Good product
Good with a small disclaimer 4
Cali Girl from California
**Pros: Pleasant mild smell. Cleans well, doesn't overdry skin like some other soap bars. Back acne reduced (about 80% reduced which is pretty great! but didn't eliminate completely). Large painful pimples on back almost completely gone, just have small (non-painful) ones yet to deal with, which is awesome. Case is nice, and having a lid on top really helps it from melting away from shower drip (my soap holder is located right under my showerhead). Gentle enough to use on face. I have combination skin on my face and body and I had no issues with dryness or oiliness.
**Cons: Soap was ineffective in reducing body acne on its own (lathering on hands and applying or applying bar directly on body), but once I started using it with a scrubber, my acne was reduced pretty effectively. Can be used on face but had no effect on reducing facial acne.
Overall, I would recommend, but make sure you're using it on something you can scrub with.
The best ! 5
Chayoo from Dallas tx
I have always struggled with back acne , so I read all the reviews before I bought this because I have really sensitive skins . I got my bar about a week ago and literally within days I noticed a change . I definitely recommend this product for anyone with body acne . ❣️
