Prescription Strength Salicylic Acid
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Advanced Clearing Gel for a few weeks now, and it's genuinely become my secret weapon for those stubborn breakouts that like to pop up at the worst times. The 2% salicylic acid formula sta...

Decent
Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical™ Advanced Clearing Gel is a solid spot treatment that delivers on its promise to reduce breakouts quickly. I found it particularly effective on small, surface-level pimples—those annoying whiteheads or red spots that pop up overnight. After applying a thin layer, mos...

Pass on this
It burns upon contact with skin, smells very strongly of alcohol, and laves my face feeling very tight after it dries down. There are better products out there.
I love this product for blemishes
Your store needs to carry the larger size in stock!!
great for super oily skin!

This new formula is awesome for very oily skin. I really like the packaging, although I wish it came in a larger size. This absorbs very quickly and needs to be applied quickly if you use it on your entire face and not just as a spot treatment. You do not need a lot, and the packaging prevents waste. This is perfect for all of us who do not want or need a hydrating/extremely gentle skin treatment to prevent acne, clogged pores, and oil.
great for super oily skin!
this new formula is awesome. so many acne serum have silicones, oil, or fillers that make my skin even more oily and my makeup slides off in a few hours. I wish it came in a larger size but I like the packaging a lot. this absorbs very quickly...I apply it all over my face in the morning, over a light serum and before sunscreen. I hope clinique keeps this formula!
Left chemical burns
If you have sensitive skin- I would not recommend this product. I now have these stubborn dark chemical burns on face due to using this product. I was under the impression that this product was the replacement for the discontinued Step 3 All-Over Treatment, and that is definetly not the case. If you do decide to try it, ONLY use a small amount- like a musterseed amount.
