It just works
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Gel – ★★★★☆ (4/5 Stars) Gentle, effective, and dependable—with just a couple small downsides I've been using this cleansing gel for a few months now as part of my morning and night skincare routine, and ove...

Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical™ Advanced Clearing Gel is a solid spot treatment that delivers on its promise to reduce breakouts quickly.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This cleanser has a thin, runny texture, but it does leave your skin feeling clean. I like that it has salicylic acid to help keep acne at bay and the scent isn't irritating or overpowering. If it were to remove makeup it would be a 10/10 for me but other than that, great product!
My new go-to spot treatment !

I really liked this product! The Clinique Advanced Clearing Gel worked super well for my skin. I used it as a spot treatment and it created a nice little barrier over my blemishes without feeling heavy or irritating. It dried down quickly, didn't leave any weird residue, and actually helped clear things up within a few days. Super easy to use, no fuss, and effective. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something that works but still feels gentle on the skin.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love how this makes my skin feel, it absorbed so nice, didn't overly dry my skin out and did not leave my face feeling greasy. There is no weird scent and did not cause any irritation
Ok

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Can't say I saw much of a difference. Little bumps that were barely forming are still there and red spots look about the same. I used it for over 1 wk. I was mostly disappointed with the way they shipped it, in a box about 50x its size.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The serum is very liquidy compared to other similar products. I have used it a few times and I think it's helping. I do think it'd be effective for most people though
