My face has been breaking out more than usual Can I use this with the Clarifying Lotion 1.0 Twice A Day Exfoliator And the All About Clean Liquid Facial Soap Extra Mild? Those are are my current cleansers.
- Asked by Jaci
- Official Answer By Clinique USYes! We recommend slowly integrating Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam into your current routine during the AM to help remove excess surface oils and to unclog pores that cause acne. If you are experiencing an increase in breakouts we do also recommend incorporating Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel into your routine to spot-treat stubborn blemishes and apply in the areas that are prone to acne, preventing future breakouts. Follow up with Clinique Dramatically Different Oil-Free Gel to help control surface oils throughout the day while gently hydrating and strengthening skin. For a more personalized recommendation based on your concerns get connected with a local Ulta Clinique Associate for more details.Was this answer helpful to you

Can't Live Without It!
I am hooked on this cleansing foam. The light fragrance is fresh and refreshing and it rinses off easily leaving my skin looking and feeling so much better! I ran out over the weekend and went back to an old cleanser I had and my skin hated me for it! I was buying more Clinique cleanser first thing ...

Has a light and refreshing fragrance and really makes your
Has a light and refreshing fragrance and really makes your face feel clean. It also has salicylic acid in it as opposed to benzoyl peroxide which is a lot more harsh on the skin in my opinion and also increases your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. This stuff helped cut back on my oiliness but in the...

Replacement for face & body bar
This is the perfect replacement for the face & body acne solutions bar. I have only used it for less than one week and my dark spots are already disappearing. I have found my solution to prevent new acne pimples while also clearing old acne marks!
When will this be available again?

My daughter and I both use this product and the other Acne Solutions products. Our local store has been out of it for a while. Tried to buy more in June and they said even the distribution center showed out of it when they checked. Hoping this product is back in stock soon as we love it as it works so well for us!

Love the product - have been using for over 3 years and works great. Had issues with oily face and this cleared it up. Have waited over 3 months for this product to be available even called talked to their on-line chat - no idea was the answer. Tried to get from other stores but everyone is out. Running out of the product. Tried other Clinque products only to have my face break out. So what is going on?
I've struggled with acne for YEARS
I first started getting acne when i was in 6th grade and continued to struggle with it as an adult. As you can imagine i tried what felt like everything short of a dermatologist since it was out of my price range. After moving across country from dry heat to humidity my skin didnt take it well and i continously broke out. I have sensitive combination skin and tried this product a couple months back, my skin hasnt been this clear since i was a child and im absolutely ESTATIC about it. Id definitely recommend to at least try it, it hasnt helped with the acne scars yet (if it even does) but its cleared out the ance to the point where i can start to focus on getting the scars corrected Short summary: at least try it, in my experience it works!

I struggled a lot with acne since my puberty, this was the first product that actually helped me. I used the cleanser, all-over treatment and the clarifying exfoliation for three month and my face was clear, glowing and brighter. Thanks to Clinique.
