Pros:

Works In a Couple Days
No Burning
Cheaper Then Most Other Products

Cons:

Dry Skin, so use a moisturizer, works out great.

I used Acne Free for almost a year and it cleared my skin up in just a couple weeks. The first year I never used a moisturizer. I rather would have a little dry skin then acne everywhere. I stopped using it figuring my acne was gone forever, boy was I wrong! Came back worse then ever. Finally after a month went out and got it again. Now after on 3 days there is a huge difference. I now use a moisturizer and it gets rid of the dry skin.

Pros:

Clears skin fairly fast and keeps on working.(I've used it for years and it has not stopped working after 3 months like Proactiv did.)

It is literally the ONLY thing that has for the most part cleared my acne. (I have had moderate that progressed to severe acne since I was 14, and am now in my 20's.)

The Benzoyl Peroxide Lotion and Retinol last for quite some time.

Cons:

It is a shame they don't sell the Cleanser and Toner separately as those are the items I run out of first, and I end up having to buy the whole package when I only need two things immediately.

After using perscription creams (Differin, Retin A, Benzaclin, Clindamycin, etc.), oral acne medications such as Doxycycline, every cleanser, toner and acne fighting cream brand from Neutrogena to Noxema...this is the ONLY thing that has worked. My acne will probably never completely go away as I have been dealing with it for 7 years and it has never been completely cured for any extended amount of time, but this product keeps it at bay. And every side product they have come out with from the foaming cleanser to the 1 hour pimple patches has lived up to its' promises.

Pros:

Works AMAZINGLY. Noticably cleared my skin in one day.
Inexpensive for a complete kit.
Easy to use

Cons:

Dries out your skin a bit...if you use the moisturizer you should be fine though.

Being a teenager, I've had bad acne before. I get blackheads and oil pockets, which NEVER seem to go away, and to top it off, I pick at them, which leaves scars. We went to Target and as soon as I got home I tried it out. The next morning, my skin was smooth and some of my forehead acne had been removed completely. I kept using it and ALL my acne, and scars, are gone! This product is amazing...highly recommend it.

Pros:

Cleared up skin very quickly

Cons:

-It dried out my skin so much it flaked
-It bleached all my towels
-It started burning after a couple of weeks
-Too harsh for sensitive skin

After I stopped using it, my skin couldn't really absorb moisturizer very well so it took about three weeks to recover. I use more natural remedies along with my cleanser and moisturizer and my skin is taking to it much better. Plus it was so expensive.

Pros:

Did clear my acne for the most part. Especially the deep cystic acne bumps that had been there for months.

Cons:

Dried my skin out severely! My whole face is covered in flakes that won't go away even while moisturizing several times a day!
Also created a burning red rash after each use, but that went away in a few hours

I bought the severe version of this system because I tried the regular version a few years ago which didn't work for me. My acne is mostly on the sides of my face and jaw line. It's a mix of cystic acne and a few white heads here and there. At first, the system worked well at clearing the bumps deep below the top layer of skin. I noticed some drying under my chin, but didn't pay much attention to it. There was some burning and redness after each use, but it usually went away in about an hour or two. After about 2 weeks of use, the dry patch under my chin started spreading to other ares of my face and by week three my whole face was covered in dry flakes. So i decided to cut back and use only once a day and add a moisturizer. This didn't help. My skin was still very dry. I stopped using the system hoping that my skin would go back to normal. I also started moisturizing several times throughout the day. A few days later and my skin is still extremely dry. I've never had dry skin this severe and I can't even apply makeup because it won't go on smoothly over the flakiness. The severe system is extremely powerful and really messes with the chemical balance of your skin. I don't recommend it unless you would rather have a dry rash over your whole face instead of acne. Either way, both are embarrassing.

Pros:

clears acne up for a little bit

Cons:

stops working after 2 or 3 months

I was so happy when this first started working for me, I had no new pimples. But after two or three months they started happening again and now my acne is worse than ever. Its the same thing as proactiv with more benzoyl peroxide in it and is cheaper

Pros:

It really does an amazing job of getting rid of acne! I have been using this product for seven weeks and I have literally have not have one zit. After about nine days of using Acne Free, my face was smooth and pimple free! I really love the renewing toner, it really does a fantastic job of removing surface oil and it is not at all drying!

Cons:

Every thing was perfect for me but the repair lotion, it smelled strange and it dried out my cheeks a bit at the start. Now I use it every other day and it serves it purpose without drying my skin.

I love acne free and it did the job. Just be sure to use it every day and don't mix it with other acne systems.

Pros:

Price
Smooth skin

Cons:

Dry skin patches---use a SPF moisturizer will counteract that problem

I have used for 7 days and this product is great and I have mild to moderate acne. I saw dramatic results in three days! I'm a former user of ProActiv, which is more expensive and harsher on the skin. Acne Free works and makes your skin smoother than Proactiv. Definetly, use a SPF moisturizer after the 3 step process and you will not experience dry skin.

Pros:

Clears different kids of acne
Can buy it locally
It works!

Cons:

Can cause irritation if not used properly
Doesn't come with moisturizer.

My skin is very sensitive so I was worried about using this product. At first, my skin got irritated in the usually areas so I stopped using it twice a day - I also tried avoiding those sensitive areas (around my mouth, anywhere near my eyes). No more irritation and my acne is disappearing fast! I had cysts on my cheeks and neck and small, scaly, flesh colored, rash-like, pimples all over my forehead. My forehead is almost smooth now after a few weeks and the pimples on my cheek are almost all gone! I am very happy with this product. As for the moisturizer - I buy a three step kit, the last step is a repairing lotion which is not meant to moisturize. I use Aveno moisturizer for my face, but only every once and a while.
