Pros:

Price compared to Proactiv and RESULTS

Cons:

Dries out face; 2 companies fill orders and machines are different, so the product texture may be different depending where you buy it

This is a great product! It took me a little bit to learn the best way to do things. First of all, they have 2 companies that fill their product orders with different machines so the textures and ingredients are different if bought at different stores. Their website says they work the same, but for me they do not. I prefer the cleanser (step 1) to have the exfoliating beads in it and it is more watery, and I like the lotion (step 3)to be thicker and not beady. The biggest thing for me is that it dries out my face, but I simply use my old regular moisturizer (Clean&Clear Dual Action) after all 3 steps are complete and I no longer have a problem with the dryness. Also, I do not use the repair lotion (step 3) in the morning (I wash 2x day) to keep the dryness down. The important thing I found for my skin is to make sure each step is dried completely before moving on to the next one. Worth waiting b/c the product works! I saw results in about a week or less.

Pros:

Ive noticed a definite decrease in redness of my acne. but im also on a pill called minocycle plus another benzoyl peroxide cream prescribed to me. my family tells me my face looks a lot better.
also, i noticed that my period breakouts arent as ba

Cons:

doesnt work in three days. thats bogus.
face gets red after applying.
initial flaking and dry, itchy skin.

I'll continue to use it. I tried aveda and a bunch of other products and this seems to be working loads better. I use it as a side kick to my other acne medication. Im still a bit skeptical, since im on my third week and it hasnt cleared up completely, but my body's always been slow with everything, so im guessing this is no different. I used to have it very severely on the sides of my cheeks right by my hair line, and the redness and amount of acne there has decreased IMMENSLY. also, i used to have a lot of black heads on my chin and they are pretty much GONE. awesome if you ask me. :]

Pros:

Easy to apply, Doesn't dry out my skin considerably, Great price, Doesn't have a strong unpleasant smell, Leaves face feeling refreshed, Not as harsh as ProActiv

Cons:

Bottles bought at drug and department stores are smaller and more expensive and usually the formula is a different consistency than bottles bought at wholesale stores (sams club/costco), After using it for awhile it doesn't seem to work as well

It's worth trying. I've tried everything under the sun for my severe cystic acne, and this was the most inexpensive and efficent formula I tried. I tried ProActiv before but it left my skin red and flaky. The only downside is that over time I've noticed that it doesn't work as well, it doesn't prevent acne as well as it used to, but it makes it clear up faster. I was on an low dose oral contraceptive for awhile for my skin, and it seemed that the combination of the AcneFree and birth control worked best for me.

Pros:

Leaves my face feeling clean, my skin still retain its moisture after using the cleanser, blackheads on my nose are clearing up, my acne scars seen less red and less visible, saw results in just two days! Easy to Use and got it for free as a gift.

Cons:

Repairing lotion is gritty and leaves your face sticky...

ingredients used to make this product is probably unhealthy for you...go to : [link removed]

Great product. I received this from my aunt as a little gift, I have mild acne, Ive stopped getting pimples after using this other product called "Waily" which is wonderful, but a bit pricy (85 dollars!) and I had been using USANA "Sense" which is really good as well... anyways... so I gave this a try, since it was sitting underneath the sink for a while...and hey, it works great. I have acne scars which suck because it makes me look like I have a bunch of pimples of my cheeks...but it became less visible after two days of use!

Pros:

Cost is less than others

Cons:

BLEACHES clothing and towels - I've lost my favorite sweater, a blouse, and new towels

I have not found this to be a wonder product for me. And, the fact that it has ruined some of my clothing makes me feel that I can only use it while in the shower to prevent further damage... so, I'll continue to give it a try that way in hopes it will prove to live up to it's claims.

Pros:

it works, got me worried though phase 1 bleached out my towel. i have used it 2xday/week and now using in every other day.

Cons:

it will dry your skin, and if it dries it too much, use it less often like every other day and on off days use a night time creme/lotion

works, for sensitive skin you can still use it just not as often. gauge your skin reaction, and use your common sense.I have tried everything, proactive, acutane, laser (too costly) and this was the 1st product where results was seen in the 1st 3 days. yes, dried out my skin a bit, but my rocea is less as well as the little bumps. its like giving yourself a facial each night. i love the repair lotion with granules in it, its like scrubbing off the dead skin cells and leaves your face smoother.

Pros:

I was having cystic acne. I used it and started to see results the next day. They acne was drying up.

Cons:

Had to switched to the severe ancefree because the regular stuff was still not helping when I get my period.

It worked well for me. My face was looking like a disaster. If been through the dermotoligist many times and everytime they just make my face really really dry. Acnefree does not overdry my skin and it actually was the only thing that has worked on my face in a couple of years. I started to use the severe acnefree because I was still breaking out during my period but now my face hasn't been this clear in a long time. It is worth a try.

Pros:

It helps to maintain my skin. Doesn't burn as much as some products. It's affordable and very availible.

Cons:

WILL BLEACH STUFF (Today I was wearing a new shirt and when I finished washing my face I noticed my shirt had a big pink spot on it). I am always in a hurry in the morning and since there are like 4 things to do it can be a little time consuming.

Helps clear up skin. Dries it out if you don't use a moisturizer.
