No difference

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I do not have acne prone skin, so I let my mom use it. I can't say that we saw a major difference in her skin while using this product. She may not have used it consistently enough, as the instructions say to use twice per day. It also says it's good for all skin types but I can't imagine that to be true with 2% salicylic acid.

Made me breakout

This stuff is horrible it burned and caused me to breakout. I loved the old formula with Benzoyl Peroxide it was more gentle to my skin and cleared it up fast.

I miss the Old Gel

The old product worked wonderfully for me. However, this new formula - it's awful - it burns while and after applying it, and makes my skin peel. And the next day, I have the formation of other breakouts in the area I applied it. Clinique, true to form, likes to change their products and formulas - if it's not broken, don't fix it. Funny - I just got an email - "We miss you - come back" - well, stop discontinuing the products I usually buy - soap, gels, AND make up!

Works fast!

This is by far the best! As a spot treatment it clears a blemish almost overnight. Applied thinly to problem areas it is effective as well. I have been using it for years. I feel that it is the best salicylic acid treatment available. A little goes a long way and a bottle last for a good amount of time.

Wrong item- incorrect website description

I received my package last night. I opened the box and this little, little tiny sample size acne clearing gel was inside. I’ve received this size as a free sample at Clinique’s website. For Macys to charge over $20 for this size is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. The picture shows the full size acne clearing gel. The new design that came out about a year or so ago. What they shipped is not that. My pinky is longer. It will cost me more time and money to drive to a UPS store to return this to get a full refund. I will never buy another Clinique product again from Macys. No, I would absolutely not recommend this product

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.

Teeny Weeny Bottle

Buyer Beware. The tube is the size of my thumb. This is ridiculous. I hadn't ordered this product in a while and wanted to replace what I received last time I ordered this. I could not believe what I received for the same price?! 10mL. This is ridiculous. Do Better Clinique. Shame on you.
