| Pros | Keeps skin clean and clear, benzoyl peroxide is effective at reducing redness of zits |
|---|---|
| Cons | Redness if you use too much of each product or leave the cleanser or toner on too long. |
| Bottom line | I use this product a particular way. Since many complained of the cleanser causing redness and irritation, I wet my face, rub the cleanser quickly on, then wash it off immediately so that it cleans all the oil off but doesn't redden my skin. I don't use the toner because the one time I used it, it made my skin very red (and it contains alcohol as a main ingredient). Then I use the benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment. Spreading it over a large area does nothing for my skin except irritate it. I find that this product works really well this way. Granted, my acne was under control when I first started using it but it keeps new breakouts from forming and gives my skin time to heal. I definitely recommend it for people with light to moderate acne. |

| Pros | really does clear up skin skin is super soft, glowing, beautiful toner is moisturizing REPAIRING LOTION is the key to clear skin! Only thing that has EVER worked for me and it works amazingly! Absolutely no pimples at all after the first few months of use! Worth the money and more Give it a full two months before you discontinue. It WILL work and at the end of two months youll be so happy you stuck it out. |
|---|---|
| Cons | can cause some irritation but there are ways around that the fash wash is too harsh and unecessary |
| Bottom line | I've been using this for about two years. After the first few months, my skin was the best that it has looked since I was about 10. (Im 26 now) Around the beginning of this year I went through a tough breakup and all of a sudden my skin started getting really red and itchy. Especially around my eyes. I switched toners and moisturizers but I kept using the repairing lotion. Finally I figured out that it was the repairing lotion that was causing the irritation. I stopped using it and within 2 weeks I broke out horribly just like before I started using Acnefree. It was horrible but I think I had developed an allergy. Tried other products and nothing worked so I went back to Acnefree. Here is the key when it is causing irritation: use it sparingly and let your skin get used to it which it should after a week or two. Spot treat for a few days. After about a week, start using a small amount on the on the t-zone but nowhere else. When you no longer have irritation (about two weeks for me) start using it on the entire face. A thin layer works amazingly. Don't over do it or spread it on too thick. Ive only developed an irritation once but overcame that. And Ive been using it for a little longer that two years. I actually have people compliment me on my glowing skin. ALL THE TIME! And these are people that never saw me with acne! Very very worth the money!! I have sooo much more confidence and I don't have to wear makeup every day. Oh and use a toner with alpha hydroxy! Works well with the BP. I used Neutrogena Pore Refining toner followed my the Acnefree Renewing toner and then the Repairing lotion. The face wash has never done anything for me. It may work for you but I think its too harsh and not really necessary. Make sure you use it twice a day for AT LEAST two months. My skin was completely under control after that time period. Best product I've ever used handsdown!! I know its hard to believe when youve struggled for so long but just give it a chance. W |

| Pros | Did not dry my skin out |
|---|---|
| Cons | Did not work Made blemish even redder Does not help hormonal acne |
| Bottom line | I think I have hormonal acne and this did nothing for it. It was a fine face wash but did not clear up my skin, in fact it seemed to make it worse. |

| Pros | -clears skin quickly -came with a free face mask -cheap |
|---|---|
| Cons | -can dry skin -no mosturizer |
| Bottom line | The name and cost of this product had me sceptical at first but overall Im very pleased with this product. In the week that I've been using it I see a noticable difference in my skin. I wouldnt use it 2 times a day though, especially if your acne isnt that bad. Once a day or once every other day will probably suffice. |

| Pros | Easy System Skin Feels Great After Using It No Too Pricey |
|---|---|
| Cons | Nothing Really, Skin May Get A Bit Dry, If So, Moisturize |
| Bottom line | I really like this product so far. My skin is already clearing up, Just 2 days! My skin feels great after I use this 3-step system. I haven't needed to moisturize yet, but may need to soon. It isn't an irritating product, like some of the other products I have tried, Stridex pads being the main example. But, of course, everyone's body, skin, and acne are different. Seems to feel pretty light, feels good to wash your face with it, and doesn't leave that awful oily feeling afterwards that some other products gave me. I tried using the Clean and Clear Morning Burst system, and that didn't really work for me. But, that isn't really for an acne system, that just cleans normal skin. It did however, make my skin breath, so to speak. Anyway, I really like the AcneFree system so far. I am using the regular system, although they make a few others, including AcneFree Severe and AcneFree Sensitive skin. I assume they just have different amounts of benzoyl peroxide, but, I am not sure. Best of luck using this product, and I hope your acne and skin become amazingly beautiful!!! |

| Pros | Cleared up my skin Leaves skin fresh and clean |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dried out a bit, but use moisturizer. |
| Bottom line | For those who say this product has stopped 'working,' maybe you need to cut back on using it day AND night, and only use it at night time. Usually when I have a breakout, I use the face wash 2 times a day, and once it begins to clear up, I use Acnefree at NIGHT only since it's strong enough to take off my makeup, and I use cetaphil/something gentler in the morning. It totally works, and sometimes you just need to switch up the routine a bit in order for it to start working again. And since this product dries up your skin, sometimes that leads to MORE breakouts since your skin is overproducing oil...which is why I recommend using something more gentle in the morning. Another good tip is to moisturize! Trust me, I'm a licensed cosmetologist where my work ranges from hair to skin! |

| Pros | inexpensive emergency kit |
|---|---|
| Cons | benzol peroxide is aging will stop working after awhile |
| Bottom line | For emergency, grab this product, use it for few months. But overtime, switch to a less abrasive products and use sunblock. Often times, its our own fault on why we break out. In my case, stress related, touching my face and forgetting to get in a regimen program. I also break out when I dont drink enough water and when i eat junk foods (sweets). so be healthy and drink your H20. Peace! |

| Pros | cleared skin fast. |
|---|---|
| Cons | dryness at first. stopped working needed to take time off from it. |
| Bottom line | this product cleared my skin up faster than I thought. it dried my skin to no end at first but I stuck with it and with a good moisturizer you'll be fine after a few weeks.. after a few months it stopped working for me though.. I thought I needed the stronger one so I tried AcneFree Severe. Did not work at all. Dried my skin beyond repair.. So I took a few months off AnceFree all together. Now I'm back on and it seems to be working great. |

| Pros | started clearin my skin in about a week or so not SUPER expensve skin feels nice after using it |
|---|---|
| Cons | I don't like the benzoyl peroxide it comes with |
| Bottom line | this has really, really, really helped my skin. It worked faster then I thought, and I love the face wash it comes with my skin feels so nice after I use it. I use the toner every so often when I remember, but I wash twice a day and I've really noticed a difference. I really don't like the benzoyl peroxide it came with, so I just bought the benzoyl peroxide you can buy seperetly, the one it came with is a cream, the other one (the one I use is a gel) |
