Pros:- no more big pimples
- reduces pimples overnight
- bearable smell
Cons:- time
Bottom Line:it works, albeit slow. been on it for 2 weeks. use it once a day. will update.

i have very oily skin. in the morning, i can see a sheen of oil. during my first year of college, my acne got really bad - new environment, stress, food. (i had actually got it to the point where i was happy with it the summer before).

i was reluctant to put any chemicals on my (super annoying)sensitive/oily skin. two weeks ago, i bourhgt the sensitive skin kit at target. i was hopeful. i dabbed a little of it on my skin to make sure i wasn't allergic to benozide peroxide.
my face is less red (maybe it's a mental thing ). i still get pimples, but nothing too big or too red. and the smallest tube (repair lotion), reduces the size overnight, leaving almost no marks.i hope by the end of summer, things will be drastically better.
good luck everyone!

Pros:Doesn't smell bad, dries up pimples pretty quickly.
Cons:Sometimes takes a while for bigger pimples.
Bottom Line:Acnefree is good, I've used it for two years, but I find that if I discontinue my usage I break out immediately. Otherwise, it's been a lifesaver.

Pros:Works great! Clears up acne
Sensitive AcneFree was really soothing
Cons:Leaves skin very dry. Try sensitive skin first if you don't know what skin you are. Packaging is weird. I finished 2 bottles of moisturizer and terminator in 5 months, but only 1 cleanser and they didn't sell them separately.
Bottom Line:It works. That's what it is.

I tried all three types of acnefree and sensitive works for me. Severe was very rough. The acne was gone but it leaves my skin very dry and peeled off.

Normal didn't work on me. After severe, I tried normal and the acne came back. Ditched that in a month.

Tried sensitive. It works great. Moisturizer was cool and soothing when applied. The cleanser doesn't leave your skin dry.

I would recommend starting with sensitive. If that doesn't work, try severe and then normal.

Pros:It should be said that I used the AcneFree for Sensitive skin, but there are no pros that I found to the product.
Cons:Basically, after using it for over 3 months, it did absolutely nothing to improve my acne or the condition of my skin. I still break out all over and it seems worse than before I started using the product.
Bottom Line:I guess it just depends on the person, but I hated this product and added it to my ever-growing list of products that did not work on my skin

Pros:It really makes your skin look healthy!
Cons:It takes about 3-4 weeks to see the acne clearing.
Bottom Line:I really like this product--I almost withdrew from using it just becuase it took a while for me to see results. I am happy that I continued to use the product and not give up on it so fast. I am one who has tried Proactiv and Dr. Thrower's Heritage Skin care line and although with Dr. Throwers products--one can results in the next day, you have to continuously buy the products in order for them to work and go to your follow up appts which come to about $400 every visit. With Acne Free, its just $20 bucks and 4 weeks for clear skin. You do the math...

Pros:It worked better than any other otc facewash I have used.
Cons:Dried out my skin every once in a while, stopped working after first month or two.
Bottom Line:This product worked alright at first but after a while I'm not quite sure if it was even doing anything anymore. I still broke out and got huge cysts and lots of whiteheads.
