Pros:

The box looks very pretty

Cons:

This product does not work at ALL. After about a month of using the Severe version of this product, I've actually broken out worse than what I was dealing with before.

The products leave your skin very dry, and it tends to burn. Sun screen is an absolute must, naturally.

Some of my cystic acne has even come back now. This doesn't make any sense, considering my finals are well over by now and I have virtually no stress.

Red marks from past breakouts are starting to reapp

Do NOT buy this product! It certainly didn't help for me.

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.

Didn't clear my skin at all, broke out worst. Proactiv worked better for me

Pros:

Got rid of some light acne at first.

Cons:

still saw bad acne, and didnt help at all the second time.

The first time I used it, I was impressed at the results. Some of my acne was gone while some of it remained, but I was just happy that it was finally clearing. I stopped using it for about a week, because I ran out, and when I started back it made my acne worse. :(

Pros:

works great
has several different types (normal, sensitive, sport and sever)
cheap compared to other products like proactive, and murad where you have to pay shiping etc
Face wash last a long while if you use the right amount.

Cons:

can get pricey if you buy all the other stuff they offer (scar eraser, spot treatment etc)
can dry out skin if not careful.
wish the tonner bottle was bigger

I got this about 3 weeks ago (The sever version) and it has worked great on my oily skin. I've tried proactive, several different doctor prescirbed treatments even birthcontrol to handel my skin but so far this had dont the best for my face. The tonner doesn't agrivate my skin and the lotion is light so i don't get all shiney after putting it on. I work in fast food so my forhead breaks out from having to wear my hat to work. Within a week of using this my forhead is pretty much clean as well as my chin. I still get a few zits here and there but I can deal with that (I never planned on it giving me super model skin or anything) The sever kit works great highly recommended to anyone with oily skin with stuborn acne :3 word of caution: IF you get the added products that aren't sold in the kit do one in the morning and one at night or every other night (ex: spot treatment at night and the scar eraser in the morning) as not to dry out your skin! (i have oily skin so i mean this!!!! if you don't have oily skin and you don't do thid you will fry your skin!)

Pros:

Only product that works, affordable

Cons:

NONE

I have seriously tried EVERYTHING! From proactive, to cetaphil, to expensive treatment from Sephora. I have moderate adult acne and it is so frustrating and embarrassing! I am still a little in shock that I have found something that works so amazingly well. I have been using for two months now and I have had one small pimple! I dare say....this has been life changing!=)

Pros:

None really

Cons:

kinda pricey, didnt work for me..

just like most kits out there, I guess they dont work for everyone, this didnt work for me.
May 16, 2011

Pros:

It works. Doesnt dry out my skin as long as i use it properly (all 3 steps).
one order can last me two months, so it is totally worth it.
I'm mid 20s, male, mixed race and have done one round of acutane which helped, but i still had bouts of moderate acne.

Cons:

a little pricey, but not compared to trying all sorts of things in desperation. Just get this and you won't keep wasting time and money on anything else. I'm careful in application to make it last, but one order goes about 2 months, using 3 times a day. I actually just use the 90 Noxema pads, drain out the treatment, and replace it with the acnefree green juice stuff, which makes it last longer and works better and faster than a cotton ball.

It works and is working for me. I don't get online to review ANYTHING cause i have more important things to do, but as a mid 20s male, i figured i'd log on to here and give ACNEfree a big two thumbs up. i've tried all the products from this site and they work to some extent, but honestly, acnefree, used regularly, almost knocked out my adult acne totally. i'm very pleased with it and am pretty much done trying to find the "perfect combo" for moderate acne. this is it. I've tried all the brands, even from Dan (no offense Dan), and also home remedy crap like oils, green tea, etc. There is a reason so many people use this--it really does work. Should have just started buying it a long time ago, might have got a few more ladies sooner haha.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Made me break out more
Caused severe irritation

I was really looking forward to this product as I am an adult with acne. I used it for about 3 weeks totally trusting the websites facts page when it said that you might break out more in the beginning because it's clearing your pores. But then I started getting irritation spots and before long they were so red and inflammed I could barely open my eyes. I immediatly discontinued use and since then any sort of lotion burns but my skin in the areas it irritated, around mouth, under eyes and eyelids is peeling. Without make up on I look like I have 2 large black eyes and I am very self-consious. Not to mention it never got rid of my acne which is what I was embarrassed about in the first place. I would not recommend it.
May 15, 2011

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.

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.
