Pros:

Cheaper than Proactiv
Not as tough on the face as Proactiv
Exfoliates

Cons:

Exfoliating beads are a little small
Has a gel consistency

I haven't used the entire AcneFree line, just the cleanser. What caught my eye about this product is that it says it's "Better Than Proactiv!" I decided to give it a try and see if they were right (I use Proactiv). In comparison, I would say that they both work about the same. HOWEVER, Proactiv's cleanser has a much different consistency than AcneFree's. AcneFree's is more of a gel, and the exfoliating beads in it aren't as big as Proactiv's. Also, as I was massaging my face, it felt a little tingly. But that being said, it is still a pretty good cleanser and leaves my face feeling refreshed afterwards. I may pick up the entire set next time I'm in the store and see how the whole system works.

Pros:

Worked for me, very affordable price compared to the other competitors

Cons:

Overly drying at first, ridiculously very hard to squeeze out of the bottle due to tiny dispensing holes

I've been using the product (original version, not the severe or sensitive skin versions) for about a month now and I can say that I'm fairly satisfied with the results. The first setback I encountered when using the product for the first time was that I couldn't even squeeze the Step 1 Cleanser stuff out of the bottle. How this passed the manufacturing stage is beyond me. I heard some bottles have this "flaw". But luckily, poking a hole with a knife seems to resolve the issue easily. Anyways, using the product at first dried out my skin which I kind of expected. You just have to use the product in small amounts at the beginning so that your skin will gradually tolerate it. The only thing I'm worried about is if the product will continue to work for me in the long run because Proactiv quit working for me after several months as if my skin just became immune to it.

Pros:

actually got rid of acne, unlike anything else i have tried

Cons:

none really.

I have the severe system. Night: Step 1, Step 2, Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer, Step 3. Morning: Rinse face with warm water, Aveeno moisturizer, Step 3. I don't find step 4 that useful, but once in a while I will use it (instead of Step 3 at night) when I have absolutely no pimples and I will wake up with a brighter complexion.

Pros:

Clears face starting right away (most of my pimples were gone in the morning after using it the first time).

Cons:

Steps 2 and 3 are pretty irritating.

Use the cleanser (Step 1), but no others, especially if you have sensitive skin. Also, make sure to use a moisturizer! Not the one in the kit, a real one. Your skin will clear up, feel soft, and be bright.

Pros:

Easy to use, reliable, works, can go a few days without using it and won't break out. It's refreshing once done and keeps my face from looking greasy.

Cons:

Takes over two months to really work. Toner does nothing. I personally cannot use twice a day without lotion or else my skin dries out. Does not get rid of whiteheads.

It works. It may take awhile to kick in but once you have been using it a few months, you can really notice. I was moving a few months back and had to stop using it for a good three months and my acne was still not as bad as before i started using it. It does have chemicals that dry out the skin (mostly the toner) but works great with oily skin. I remind a good scrub with it as well, the one with beads or things inside the scrub; for this product doesn't take away dead skin. Also have a oil free moisturizing lotion for good use. The only problem I really have is it doesn't tone the skin like it said it would, and doesn't clear whiteheads

Pros:

Dried up my acne pretty quickly, I can see improvements already and it's only been a little over a week.

Cons:

Dried out my skin a little around my mouth, but that was expected.

I use the Redness Relief Acne Free, and I've been on it for about a week and a half. It's worth a try, and pretty gentle - just be careful during the first few days, as it does dry out your skin a little.

Pros:

Doesn't reek, got rid of a few of the smaller pimples, easy to use, inexpensive.

Cons:

Doesn't work with serious acne, or maybe its just me.

When I started using AcneFree I noticed it got rid of the smaller pimples, not saying I have a pizza face, but some of the more stubborn ones are still here :/ I've been using it for about 3 weeks and still no change. But I'm also not getting any peeling or redness so that's good. I recommend this to people who have little acne.
