Pros:

Lightened acne scars, prevented breakouts, skin became tighter & even toned, I don't have to wear as much foundation as I used to!

Cons:

(AcneFree Severe Kit) Repair lotion leaves skin oily with a sandy residue

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is suffering from acne. I've had to deal with my acne for the past 15 years and I've tried everything (pills, creams, ointments, expensive acne kits...etc). AcneFree didn't clear up my skin completely, however, it's improved my skin so much that I don't have to be ashamed to put my hair back or go outside without makeup on anymore. I noticed an improvement within the first week of using the AcneFree Severe Kit. I didn't see it available on this site for me to review but since the kit shown in the pic is by the same brand, I'm sure it works just as good. If you have tried ProActiv, this is basically the same product but it's more affordable and it's way stronger which is a huge plus. After using it for a few weeks, I've been able to use a different lotion since the one in the kit leaves my skin a bit oily (I have oily skin to begin with) but I still use the cleansing wash as well as the toner and my skin is still under control. Overall, I say yes to Hollywood! :)

Pros:

they even have a formula for rosacea which has worked great on my flaking red skin, no more soreness acne etc.

Cons:

I don’t like smelling the sulfur

I am a mixed African American and my skin was terrible between acne, psoriasis, and rosacea all on my face, it was a Hott Mess! This product worked all of it out and now my skin is clear of acne soft and no redness or flaking skin.

Pros:

Cleared up most of my acne first time i used
Can be found easily in drugstores
Affordable
Work faster than most other drugstore brands
Toner is very soothing and refreshing

Cons:

Irritated sensitive skin (which creat redness)
Smell reallllllly bad and strong
Cleanser doesn't really remove make-up well
Treatment lotion dry out skin very badly

-The treatment lotion: doesnt help fast enough for getting rid of pimples. And when apply to extra sensitive area ( under the neck, hair line area...ect) doesnt help with acne at all ,and make those sensitive area itchy,swollen, irritated, and red :( -Toner: nice, remove excess oil well, refreshing,soothing, smell good,hydrate skin. -Cleanse: creamy, has little tiny things that you would find in a exfoliator or acne scrub, irritate skin, doesnt remove make up well so you would have to use a make up remover (which take time and irritate you acne prone skin) , smell sooooo bad , not foamy First time i used it cleared up my pimples within 2 months or less. Then i stopped once i almost finish the bottle cause i hate the irriation and the smell and i though it was too tough on my sensitive 16 y/o skin . So acne came back gradually but i was using neutrogena acne stress cleanser,toner and lot of different acne treatment gel and cream....so my acne during that time was light but still bothered me a lot ..thats why i came back to this and it CLEARED UP my acne but STILL IRRITATE my skin SO....i stop using and left half the bottle i switch to acne.org cleanser,moisturizer and treatment..it kept my skin clear and doesnt irriate it :) (except acne.org treatment make my skin red IF i put too much,but thats my fault i dont follow direction) now i dont have acne but 1 or 2 tiny little skin color bumps on my cheek so ya ,,,,you should try acne.org products that was the best decision i ever made :) GOOD LUCK :)

Pros:

After about a month of using this product the acne on my forehead cleared up (which is where I normally get really bad breakouts).
It did not dry out my skin.
They also have this product at Costco, so you can get a bigger size than what you would find at WalMart or other stores.

Cons:

The acne along my jawline and cheeks did not clear. Also, the moisturizer comes in a very small container.

It seems to work well on areas that are oily (my forehead) but does not work as well on areas that are not. So if you have oily skin all over, then I would recommend this product. (NOTE: I used the original AcneFree system, not the ones for sensitive skin or severe acne)

Clears up skin Super fast! sucks for blackheads.

Cons:

BURNS!!!!!!! My skin felt soo irritated,t he first layer of my skin peeled off, but i was just like "eff it" haha SO i kept using it. My skin is clear but it's red. :(

If you don't have sensitive skin, or you don't mind being red Go for it. if not.. i'm sure there are other alternates.

Pros:

Definitely clears the skin; oil-control

Cons:

Constant irritation, definitely dries the skin out; my face itched like crazy the first few nights (I had to take an allergy pill and go to sleep because I couldn't concentrate on anything else)

My acne problem was getting worse and worse and I couldn't get a dermatology appointment for another month, so I decided to give AcneFree a try. The product definitely works--the severity of my acne has cleared up about 80% in less than a week. However, I feel irritation/itchiness when I use it, and I can see some acne might be coming back. The directions must be strictly adhered to. If you have moderate to severe acne, and experience extreme redness/irritation while first using the product, KEEP USING IT, because it will clear up (but not without the suffering).

Pros:

I noticed a difference the 2nd day. I bought it when I first noticed I was breaking out. After using it once night the break out stopped. I have only had one or two little zits (which was the week before my period)

Cons:

The bottle of "lotion" is actually just benzol peroxide and doesn't moisturize at all. acne free really dries out your skin. I use aveeno lotion for sensitive skin and it works away any irritation and dryness.
The lotion bottle is very small.

It works. It kind of goes through cycles of dryness. I've tried other things. I've gone to a dermatologist and was taking prescription stuff which just got way to expensive. I like the way this stuff makes my skin feel..(after the moisturizer is applied)

Pros:

Easy to use. Packaging is very clear.

Cons:

Dries my skin badly. Have to keep away from clothing, it bleached my T-Shirts. Smell is pretty bad as well.

Works OK if you use consistently and twice a day. Otherwise it doesn't always work. Can't speak for everyone but the product just didn't work for me.

Pros:

works great, leaves my skin super soft, noticeably reduced blackheads, worked for me in about a week

Cons:

slight bleachy scent, bleaches fabric, slight burning, dries skin out, hasn't been effective on my upper chest as much as my face

Use a white towel or set aside one you don't mind getting bleached out. My blackheads are much better and my pores are smaller. There are no actual pimples to speak of anymore. It does burn a little when washing and applying the toner and repairing lotion but that goes away in a few minutes and isn't bad enough to make me stop using it. I'll probably cut back use to once a day and use a better moisturizer until it gets closer to *that* time which is when my acne really flares. As a testament though--the acne free cleared some the mid-cycle madness on my face this month. It's definitely worth trying though and for about $20 you can't beat it compared to way more expensive acne treatments.
