Pros:

Works for a while
Clears some acne
Smooth skin

Cons:

Stops working
Bleaches clothing
Very expensive

Like proactiv and almost all other acne treatments, the active ingredient in this system is benzoyl peroxide. I used it consistently, twice daily, for about 2 years. I think the first night I used it, it literally cleared about 80% of my acne overnight. But over time, like proactiv, it stopped working. I don't believe this is meant to be a long-term solution to acne. If you have puberty onset acne, it may help to get you through those couple of years, but for people with adult acne, you'll probably need something stronger.

Pros:

- Softens skin
- Easy to use

Cons:

- No long-term benefits
- Didn't control oil on skin
- Pricy, depending on where you buy it

After Proactive failed to give me results, I thought I'd try AcneFree. It claimed it was around 60% more effective than Proactive. When I first started to use it, I enjoyed how soft it made my skin and how fresh my face felt. A week into it, I still saw no improvement in my *acne,* just my skin texture. Still, I was optimistic and soldiered on. A month later, not only was my acne unimproved, but the softness and freshness I initially experienced was long gone, just like my hope for this product. My skin is very oily and acne-prone, and AcneFree couldn't handle the oil and improve my acne. Just like Proactive, it started out promising only to taper off and lose all effectiveness. That is my little experience. I truly hope this works for others, and I know people with milder acne and dryer skin that benefited from it. But keep this in mind: if your acne is stubborn, resistant, and you struggle with oily skin, pass on AcneFree. The claims on the packaging may tempt you, but it doesn't pull through in the end. I've tried a lot of 3-step kits like this one, and unfortunately, you end up paying for more products that don't work. You'll find cheaper products that stand alone because they do work. I kept searching and it paid off. I'm currently using PanOxyl, which is half the price by the way. Hope I saved some one out there time and money.

Pros:

-Reduces size and redness of pre-existing pimples and scars
-The toner improves complexion

Cons:

-breakouts
-breakouts
-more breakouts

-feels greasy
-overpriced
-night cream and lotion do nothing

Started off well for the first week, but wound up making me violently breakout. Could be different for anyone else, so if you can spare the 30 bucks then it could be worth a try.

Pros:

clears acne up for a little bit

Cons:

stops working after 2 or 3 months

I was so happy when this first started working for me, I had no new pimples. But after two or three months they started happening again and now my acne is worse than ever. Its the same thing as proactiv with more benzoyl peroxide in it and is cheaper

Pros:

Not Sure.

Cons:

Doesn't Work. Dries up skin.

This product did not work for me. When I started using this, it seemed to work but then, it got worse and worse... It dried up my skin a lot and did not control breakouts. I've been using this product for 1 and a half month now. I'm going to try clinique and quit this one. -_- I would not recommend this product unless you're acne is light.

Pros:

Not sure?

Cons:

None

This didn't do ANYTHING for my skin. The first week my face turned sooo red it was horrible and then I kept going for a 2nd week and the redness went away but I still have acne so I went a 3rd week and still nothing. This product is obviously not working 24/7 because I still broke out while using this. I switched to the severe kit yesterday and hoping to see some results with that. If you have light acne this product will probably work for you. I'll update in a couple of weeks on the severe kit.

Pros:

-works in a couple of day
- smooth skin
- shiny/healthy skin
- cheap

Cons:

- stops working after one week
- burns your face after one week
- face looks sun burned
- face gets really dry

I like it at first, but it stopped working. It burned my face.... I was disapointed. Don't use this product, if you have sensitive skin. If you want good results don't use this product. I recommand using sea salt. It cured my acne and made my scars less noticible from 50%. Use natural products, instead of damaging alcool products.
