My kid has had really persistent acne since 4th grade and we have tried it all (masks & spot treatments & cleansers & moisturizers & patches) but this is the first thing that consistently works across their whole face. I cannot recommend this product enough.
It works, but buyer beware

This product did help reduce a couple of pimples I had recently. However, I have naturally dry/sensitive skin and this product dried those spots out a LOT! I'm talking peeling, parched, tender dry!! Perhaps I had a reaction but I caution anyone with dry skin or sensitive skin to use this carefully!
Love it

ive been struggling with acne for more than ten years and this has helped me clear my skin way more in less than two weeks than any other product ive used for years. it is very drying but paired with a salicylic acid serum and the cerave moisturizer i literally have glass skin now. definitely worth the money.
very pleasantly surprised!

I've never really had acne growing up but as I've started to age I have been getting some really stubborn acne. Specifically across my forehead, along my cheek bones and along my jaw line. I was given this product as a free samply and absolutely fell in love with it!! I do have extremely sensitive skin so I only apply directly to my pimples. It works wonders! Those stubborn pimples that stay under the skin, gone! It's like my super hero against these breakouts, finally got my full size and I'm so happy. Had a recent breakout from stress but I know it'll be completely clear in 2 weeks. Thank you Clinique!!!
Best product!!

I received it as a sample, but event small amount of product showed how good it at acne treatment. Only after testing it, I ordered another package of 15 ml. I don't need much of the product as I apply it only on the acne spot (not the whole face), which I rarely have.
a great gel for my acne

I would love to write a review, but unfortunately, this package is missing. The photo shows UPS delivering it along with a larger package around 12:22 p.m., but when I went to retrieve it around 3 p.m., only the large package was there. I'm confused and out of a package.

I use this product to alleviate a dermatological condition and it works fast to bring down inflammation. Bonus: My husband also loves it for addressing a random breakout. The travel size is wonderful but we buy in bulk because it's such a staple for us.
This is it for all my acne needs!!!

I have used the Clinique Clearing Gel, for many years. I am now 61 and occasionally still get a pimple. So this product is good for teens to senior citizens. It works very quickly and I don't experience any irritation. It also lasts for a very long time, as it only takes a little dab to do the job.

I received this in a sample size. I don't get a lot of acne but when I do, its only one or 2 pimples, I didn't noticed a huge difference using this Gel. But like I said it was a sample. Seems like if I had used it longer maybe I would have had better results. Unsure.

Clears acne quickly. I use all over my face after washing for the evening. Trouble pimples either decrease in size or are cleared by morning. I’m generally hesitant when having to purchase new acne products but I received a sample size of this. I used the sample and it worked so well after two days I purchased the full size bottle.
i will buy again
