Pros - Inexpensive, available almost anywhere, I often find AcneFree for Sensitive skin at Big Lots for 10.50
- Larger quantities vs. competitors
Cons - I wish it came with a lip balm/moisturizer, alas I'll stick with using the Dermologica brand of lip balm/moisturizer.
Bottom line Has worked very well for me. I have also suggest to my friend that has a teenage son that is struggling with the crazy hormone changes that are reeking havoc on his skin to use it and in a matter of a few days the product has also helped reduce his breakouts.
Price paid $10.50

Pros Works great! I wish this was around when I was a teen but I have it now. I have been using it for about 5 years and my skin looks great. I can now us the cleanser and then I use wich hazel if I run low on the 2nd and 3rd bottles.
Cons I wish they still sold this in Costco.
Bottom line I want to tell all people to get this and use it if they have acne because I never thought I would ever look in the mirror and see clear skin. I remember being a little worried aboult trying this because I did try Proactive first and it made my skin worse but this product is fast and great.

Pros Works fast, leaves skin soft
Cons none so far
Bottom line I don't have acne perse, just a few pimples now and then. I have pretty oily skin and this seems to have helped that a lot. It has also made my pores look smaller and evened out the redness in my skin. I tend to get quite a few pimples on my upper arms, so I've been using it there too and it's helped a lot so far! I have never had anything help this area before, so I'm definitely happy something is working! I haven't experienced drying skin like some other people have noted, but like I said, I have oily skin so that could be why, or maybe it's because I've only been using it for a week.

Pros Cleared breakouts very quickly
Cons Burning, redness, sensitivity to sunlight, flaking, dryness, etc...
Bottom line I don't have what I consider "sensitive" skin and I've used Proactiv and many other acne products in the past with minimal issues. But after using this kit for 2 days (and not putting the product on my eyes), I woke up with my eyelids practically swollen shut. They were thick and wrinkly and droopy. I had to ice them to reduce the swelling. Also, the skin under my eyes and around my mouth and on my cheeks was so red and dry. I stopped using the kit that day.

In the days that followed, my skin got even drier and began to peel and flake even with a moisturizer and anything that touched it (moisturizer, plain cleanser, baby wipe, etc) burned like crazy!! Then when I went jogging with my face slathered in sunscreen, it burned so badly I had to stop and pour cold water on my face to calm it. After 2 days of this, I had to see a dermatologist who explained that the product worked by drying out the skin so that no bacteria could survive...hence no acne. The process makes skin extremely sensitive to sunlight. He prescribed an ointment twice a day to calm the skin and told me to wear SPF 30 at all times and a hat when outside longer than a few minutes.

Moral is...BE CAREFUL! Pay attention to how this works and protect your skin from the sun.

Pros Clears acne up.
Cons Dries around the mouth, but with a little moisturizer you're good to go. Need a little patience.
Bottom line So basically, I used to get the occasional pimples once a while and then last year, I had no idea what happened and I just started breaking out like crazy.
I first starting using Clean&Clear, St. Ives, Proactive, etc.
Nothing worked. All it did was make my pimples worse and became all red and dry.
Then couple months ago I started using this product. My acne is now cleared up! I used it everyday. Morning & Night time.
It does get dry around the mouth area and where ever you have acne but if you put a little amount of moisturizer, it's all good to go. (:

Pros - nice scent
- inexpensive, sold practically everywhere
- works REALLY well
Cons - VERY dry skin (underneath your eyes and around your mouth)
Bottom line I have gone through a lot of acne products (Murad, Neutrogena, Clean & Clear, etc..) but this is by far the best product ever!!
I have a lot of blackheads and am very oily in my T-zone. You can really feel your skin dry up after you apply the lotion. It feels great at first, and then it turns pretty uncomfortable. My cheeks get too dry, so i use a separate moisturizer/sun block, and it's perfect!

I haven't gotten any pimples or blackheads for a few months now!

Pros If you have sensitive skin like I do, buy the Acne-Free Sensitive. It has cleared up my skin better than anything, and I've tried Pro-Activ, Clearasil, Clean & Clear and all kinds of cleansers and scrubs. This is the best one!
Cons It will dry out the delicate skin under your eyes if you get some of the Corrective Cleanser on it, but if you use a little more of the pH Balancing Moisturizer it helps.
Bottom line The Cleanser has Tea Tree oil in it, which makes it feel good when you rub it on your skin. I love this product and plan on buying it again!

Pros It works like a charm and is inexpensive!
Cons Touch of dry skin :(
Bottom line I am a dancer so being acne free is so important for a performance. I tried Proactiv but it only helped for a few months. This product is great and helps a ton with acne and its a good price. I recommend this!

Pros worked for awhile.
huge step 1 was sold seperate (that was always the one that ran out first)
Cons dried out my skin so i had to use a moisterizer.
3 steps it too many
Bottom line i have a few little pimples usually and this seemed to help it, but then stopped after awhile.

i also got prescribed "clindamycin phosphate gel usp, 1%" almost 2 years ago so i always applied that after all 3 steps. i dont like products where its 3 steps (acnefree, proactiv) but thought i'd try it and it did the job for awhile.

i have light to moderate acne sometimes, with dry skin so i have always had to use a moisturizer after washing my face
