Bad!!!
I used this for about two days and it caused extreme irritation!! My eyes got puffy, face was red and itchy. Fortunately I didn't break out any worse but it was definitely not for me!!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything

My skin type; Fair, Oily expecially around t-zone. This system worked the first week because I major acne on my fourhead before school started. Within 3 days it was gone. After the first week of using the product it stopped working. It dried my face out horribly. It looked as if I had a sunburn look and feel to it due to irritation. The funny thing is my skin isn't so sensitive until I began using this.Now it has been sensitive since! WASTE OF MONEY. I'm not saying I'm not going to recommend it because everyone's is different but it did not work for me.

Pros:

Works after 1-2 days

Cons:

Only works for about a week, then skin gets worse!
Too drying and irritating, may swell your face, feels/looks like you have a sunburn!

TERRIBLE PRODUCT, DO NOT USE! I'm not allergic to the main ingredient in A.Free, and I've use this product years ago. It was fine back then, but recent changes to the product have seriously effected the quality. I recently began using it again to clear up my skin.It was ok for the first few days but stopped working and made my skin break out more. Tonight, after washing my face, it began to burn really bad as if I had a sunburn. When I looked in the mirror, I was HORRIFIED! My face was so red and irritated. I had to put a soothing gel on to get the burning to calm down. I'm very upset at this company and it's B.S. product.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Burns.

I bought this product at a local drug store. It looked like it worked good so, I bought it. Big mistake. I bought the three step, just like Proactiv has. I used the wash once and by the next morning I saw that my face started to get dry and flakey so I started to use just the MOSITURIZER. You would expect that to soften my skin but it didn't. With in the next few days my skin BURNED. It looked as if I had just done a at home chemical peel. It was tramatic experience and it took months for it to get better. And even after that my skin hasn't fully recovered, it has become so sensitive due to Acnefree that I had to deal with this burning issue twice because of other acne medications that my doctors have perscribed. Oh, and I still have scars, they have yet to fade. This happened over six months ago. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. My rating for this product is a ZERO.

Skin Destroyer
I've tried quite a few systems, to a degree that my mother (who hates my acne on a level that I cannot understand) got desperate and bought this stuff from Five Below. I used it as instructed for about three days, and my skin turned completely red and quite literally began to peel off of my face. It was itchy, peel-y, and I had significant polarization of extremely dry and oily spots where it was just an average combination before. Upon reducing use, the symptoms also reduced, but the damage was done and I gave up within a week. After that I tried here and there to use one of the products as a spot treatment, which dried and peeled the skin around the pimple but did nothing but irritate it. I spent well over a month trying to heal all of the damage, and none of my acne had cleared up either! In fact, I think I probably had more acne after that week than I did before. I have never had a single product or system destroy my skin like that. It went into the trash pretty quickly.

I recently bought this product and after day 3, my face was getting red and extremely dried up. My skin was Sore and itching, partly peeled off. I was so shocked so I immediately made brown sugar and honey facial pack and got rid of dryness.

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
