Pros:

it smells like vanilla
but vanilla cant clear my face
so basicly no pros

Cons:

burns horribly
makes face bumpy
doesnt wash off well
doesnt clear
the brush is hard like a toothbrush
basicly doesnt work

my acne wasnt clearing with proactiv or anythin else. i had tried proactiv for almost two years. the thing is my skin is super sensitive, so when i saw acnefree in walmart for sensitive skin, i was thrilled cause it was the only sensitive thing ive seen. i desided not to use the brush after the first time because it is hard and abrasive like somthing youd scrub pots with. it seemed alittle harsh, so i only used the three steps once a day instead of the recomended twice. by the third day, my face was red and in a ton of pain, just like a sunburn! i wasnt even in the sun. as i write this im holding ice to my face. i actually think i have more breakouts, and they are peely, red, painful, and ichy. im so scared that they are going to scar. it basicly causes a chemical burn. they pass it off as for sensitive skin cause the wash has some oats in it. id rather eat me a bowl of oatmeal and spend my 20 bucks on some really good concealer. whats bad is i start my senior year in a week. i would never recomend this for someone with sensitive skin, cause when youre done you might not have any skin. be pretty, not painful. i plan on searching for another type of gentle soap that will clear my bad breakouts without killing my skin forever, anyone know of any?

Pros:

-Cleared my moderate acne within a week.

Cons:

-Made my skin incredibly dry!
-Made me breakout a few weeks after.

I just started breaking out recently and I needed a product that could cure my acne fast! I grabbed this and it worked! Until I saw that it made my skin peel like crazy. I looked like a snake who was shredding! It was horrible

Pros:

The repair lotion is OK as a spot treatment

Cons:

Terribly drying
Made me breakout
Extreme burned skin

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this system. I have been struggling with adult onset acne (nodules, cysts, pustules) for about 5 years (I'm almost 30). Around Christmas, my skin was just getting worse and worse. It was so bad I refused to leave the house - not even heavy make-up helped. I have done prescription medications, antibiotics, etc... I can now add this system to the list of "Didn't Work". I have very sensitive skin and purchased the sensitive skin kit. I used it morning and evening and stayed true to the exact instructions. My skin became so swollen, red and inflamed right away. Thinking my skin would adjust, I stayed on this system for 4 weeks until I just had to stop - the breakouts were getting progressively worse as each day passed. I rinsed the cleanser off in the shower one day and inadvertently let some drip on my neck - it literally burned the skin on my neck. When i started this system, I was really hoping I would be writing a review about how this product changed my life. But, if anything, it made my skin much, much worse. I have since started using the Skinceuticals line on the recommendation of a friend who is a Dermatology P.A. - It's amazing. I think sensitive, adult skin just has much different needs.

I just hope it goes away. its a horrible product. don't ever get it. :(

Pros:

ONLY Sensitive Skin AcneFree Worked For Me!!!

Cons:

acne free is not the best to use!

The sensitive skin regimen made my skin almost clear but i started to use the regular acnefree after i could not find no more of the sensitive skin one. AcneFree made my skin worse than what it was. My face went from a few whiteheads to A lot of big painful black heads, and pimples, I could not use it again....

Pros:

None

Cons:

Burned
Did not work. PERIOD.

This product promised clear skin in a week; faithful to this product, I did NOT see results, my skin only got worse and my face burned. I am very discouraged. I am canceling my graduate photos due to my face's condition. Thought I could depend on this product. Don't make the same mistake that I did.

Cons:

Face felt like sandpaper!

I tried this after using Proactiv for a couple years, and discovered that it did not work for me at all!! Everyone's skin is different, but this made no difference at all in my acne and made my skin so dry that it felt like touching sandpaper. I personally did not have a good experience with this, so I can't say that I recommend it. But like I said, everyone's skin is different, and I truly believe there is a solution out there for everyone! This could be yours!

Pros:

Cheaper than proactive
Able to find at most stores

Cons:

VERY DRYING! so drying that it was hard for me to smile
didn't work for me at all
made my skin way worse than before
made my skin red and itchy with little bumps
had peeling skin

I had quick a lot of cysts and acne scars and from reading reviews about this product on this website convinced me to try it out. At first, it was very drying already but I thought that it might work so i continued using it but i applied my aveeno moisturizer afterwards. When i woke up the next day, my skin was red at first with little bumps. I didn't want to give up on it so i continued using it for a couple more days and how WRONG WAS !? It made my skin really itchy and red and i had tons of little bumps all over my face except the forehead and my skin was peeling!! I really wouldn't recommend this product to a person with sensitive skin.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Burned my face after first application.

I have used Proactiv for many years, so I am no stranger to the ingredient 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, and my face is definitely use to it. I decided to try this product out, as it said on the box, it's main ingredient was 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide also. I applied it like I always do, and my face gradually became more and more irritated over a course of many hours, and it is burned, itchy and on fire. It gave me a chemical burn after only one application. I looked on the bottle of the Repairing Lotion and seen it said 3.7% Benzoyl Peroxide! No wonde rit burned my face! Also, it did not say that on the box, at all, so when I purchased it, I was under the impression it was 2.5% B.P. because that's what it says, but the Lotion is a higher concentration, so be wary of trying this product! Benzoyl Peroxide is very strong as it is, and it's recommended not to go over 2.5% for this very reason! I'm going to purchase the Equate system that Wal-Mart carries now. I researched it and discovered was an exact replica of Proactiv but better priced, and more convenient!

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.
