Pros:

No more breakouts
Clears red marks from previous pimples
Cheap
Has worked for me the last 6 years

Cons:

Skin will burn easily in the sun
Bleaches your washcloth

I tried a few products in middle school on my moderate acne, but they never really worked. In 8th grade I found AcneFree and it has worked ever since. I am now a sophmore in college and have switched from the three step program to just using the first step, the cleanser, once a day. I just get a few random pimples every now and again. It did take about a month before my skin got used to it and the medication started to show strong results. A few months later all of the red marks from my previous acne were gone. Since I started using it, my friends have always complemented me on my clear complexion. I don't think it will work for all skin types but it did work for me. I have mildly oily skin. I do have to make sure I wear sunscreen when I'm outside because the benzoyl peroxide makes skin very sensitive to the sun and burns easily. It has also bleached a few washclothes, which I have designated as my face washing washclothes now. I would recomend this product to anyone, but make sure you try it for at least 3 months before you give up on it. If it iritates your skin, just use step 1 (especially cut out the toner) and use it once a day or every other day.

Absolutely amazing! MUST TRY
I tried this on a whim while browsing in Target. I've tried many different acne products before, but none of them gave me great results. I used the face wash spot treatment and toner before I went to sleep, and when I woke up all the redness was gone and I already saw huge improvement. After a week of using all 3 products once a day , my face was 95 % clear. I even got comments on how clear my face was . The products itself last pretty long, I would use all 3 products daily at first and then I would just use the spot treatment daily and the toner and face wash every other day, this lasted me about 3-4 months. I know this totally sounds like one of those cheesy commercials but it genuinely worked for me! It's pretty cheap too, I definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Hope this works for you like it did for me !

Pros:

makes my skin so soft and smooth, have this glow look, feels good, clears acne/pimples

Cons:

none

I have had tried everything to get rid of my acne, especially the ones on my forehead. i tried from, neutrogena acne kit, clearasil, neutrogena acne wash, olay wash, to even going to see the doctor and nothing works! i wasn't seeing results because it wasn't helping me clearing acne. it made my face dried. so i decided to research some products and i came across this 'acne free' since it said it was better than proactiv. so i gave it a try adn within days, i started seeing results. actually results! it made my skin so smooth and i never experiences dryness. within days of using it as instructed, my acne started to disappear. this is what i call a acne wash miracle! love it! i will buy this forever and ever.!

Pros:

Fast Results
Skin looks 10x clearer within just 7 days of using the product
Can be found at Wal-Mart
Cheap

Cons:

Dries out skin a little.. but who cares i finally have ckear skin!

i have always struggled a bit with acne but when i turned 20 it was like my face just exploded, my forehead was a war zone. I was so embaressed about it, i felt it started to affect my confidence which in turn affected my personality and happiness. I tried EVERYTHING, my face washing regime was done morning and night religiously. i used neutrogena acne stress control (which worked ok), olay toner, and olay moisturizer and then prescription spot treatment but it never fully cleared my face. I was using masks, was on birth control and even drastically changed my diet but still nothing I would still have about 8+ pimples on my face at all times. When i bought this product i started seeing results OVERNIGHT i actually felt like I was going to cry by the 7th day when i literally had 0 pimples on my face (just a few scars). This product does some drying of the face but honestly if you are struggling with acne like I had then you will not care at all because you will have clear skin AT LAST. i felt the need to write this blog because i used to read these all the time trying to find a solution. this product has 3 types, sensitive skin, regular, and severe. I have been using regular but it all depends on your own skin. If you feel like you have tried everything DO NOT GIVE UP, TRY THIS PRODUCT and use it right..follow all the steps. Take my advice seriously and good luck!

Pros:

really does clear up skin
skin is super soft, glowing, beautiful
toner is moisturizing
REPAIRING LOTION is the key to clear skin!
Only thing that has EVER worked for me and it works amazingly!
Absolutely no pimples at all after the first few months of use!
Worth the money and more
Give it a full two months before you discontinue. It WILL work and at the end of two months youll be so happy you stuck it out.

Cons:

can cause some irritation but there are ways around that
the fash wash is too harsh and unecessary

I've been using this for about two years. After the first few months, my skin was the best that it has looked since I was about 10. (Im 26 now) Around the beginning of this year I went through a tough breakup and all of a sudden my skin started getting really red and itchy. Especially around my eyes. I switched toners and moisturizers but I kept using the repairing lotion. Finally I figured out that it was the repairing lotion that was causing the irritation. I stopped using it and within 2 weeks I broke out horribly just like before I started using Acnefree. It was horrible but I think I had developed an allergy. Tried other products and nothing worked so I went back to Acnefree. Here is the key when it is causing irritation: use it sparingly and let your skin get used to it which it should after a week or two. Spot treat for a few days. After about a week, start using a small amount on the on the t-zone but nowhere else. When you no longer have irritation (about two weeks for me) start using it on the entire face. A thin layer works amazingly. Don't over do it or spread it on too thick. Ive only developed an irritation once but overcame that. And Ive been using it for a little longer that two years. I actually have people compliment me on my glowing skin. ALL THE TIME! And these are people that never saw me with acne! Very very worth the money!! I have sooo much more confidence and I don't have to wear makeup every day. Oh and use a toner with alpha hydroxy! Works well with the BP. I used Neutrogena Pore Refining toner followed my the Acnefree Renewing toner and then the Repairing lotion. The face wash has never done anything for me. It may work for you but I think its too harsh and not really necessary. Make sure you use it twice a day for AT LEAST two months. My skin was completely under control after that time period. Best product I've ever used handsdown!! I know its hard to believe when youve struggled for so long but just give it a chance. W

Pros:

Cleared up my skin
Leaves skin fresh and clean

Cons:

Dried out a bit, but use moisturizer.

For those who say this product has stopped 'working,' maybe you need to cut back on using it day AND night, and only use it at night time. Usually when I have a breakout, I use the face wash 2 times a day, and once it begins to clear up, I use Acnefree at NIGHT only since it's strong enough to take off my makeup, and I use cetaphil/something gentler in the morning. It totally works, and sometimes you just need to switch up the routine a bit in order for it to start working again. And since this product dries up your skin, sometimes that leads to MORE breakouts since your skin is overproducing oil...which is why I recommend using something more gentle in the morning. Another good tip is to moisturize! Trust me, I'm a licensed cosmetologist where my work ranges from hair to skin!

Pros:

My advice is that if you feel that Acnefree is avoiding acne and it gives you irration.Please stay with it.Make sure that you use very little amount until your skin get adopted to it.

Cons:

Redness and irration.

I tried every leading acne product in the market, including Murad,KlearActiv, Neutrogena, St.Ives and Clean & Clear (Indian version), Clearasil But I couldn't find the right product for me.So I decided to try Proactiv (It is funny that I haven't tried the 'Most Popular' then yet) I ordered the Proactiv and Acnefree simultaneously. Then the Acefree order came first. So I gave it a try. Then I noticed a noticeable redness. Sometimes it aches me that I cannot sit in my lectures comfortably. But I noticed that my acne has reduced remakbly.I continued Acnefree my acne was lessened but the irritation got worst. So I began use it very carefully. Used very little of the lotion. Then I received the Proactiv order. So I switched to Proactiv and gave it a shot, because the redness and itching effect that Acnefree gave to me was very uncomfortable. And peeling was another trouble. Proactiv made my skin exfoliating but didot stop acne as effective as Acnefree.Then I switched to Acnefree again ,then continued it.I about seven days my skin got used to it. Ever since I am using Acefree It is really great.NOT A SINGLE ZIT THEN. I am completely Acnefree.Thank you Acnefree. My advice is that if you feel that Acnefree is avoiding acne and it gives you irration.Please stay with it.Make sure that you use very little amount until your skin get adopted to it.
