will work but there's better options
I've used this system successfully, and I've had good luck with most of these proactiv type three step programs. this one has quite a bit of alcohol in the toner which I dislike. you can get the walmart equate version or actual proactiv ones that are alcohol free and have glycolic acid. the amount of BP is a bit higher in this system than in others, I believe it is 3.7 percent. they have a sensitive skin version that has an alcohol free toner and a cleanser with salicylic acid rather than benzoyl peroxide, but I haven't tried it myself. I would recommend having a good moisturizer on hand for the times or areas this might dry you out because it will eventually. I like the lotion type benzoyl peroxide treatment in these kits because it isn't as drying and my skin doesn't take kindly to most moisturizers (the search goes on). this is inexpensive and effective, so long as you don't have an allergy and go easy starting out with the products you will get good results with it.

??????????
So this isn't burning my skin, but it's also not helping. I have yet to see any improvement in my skin and if anything it has gotten worse. I have breakouts forming and I woke up this morning with several white heads. I just recently had a breakout that I contribute to the use of chlorophyll tablets, but my skin has never been bad. I have combination skin with light acne but I also have redness in my cheeks and very pale skin so that can make the minor blemishes look more severe. I tried this and this has done nothing...no burning, no pealing, no acne gone. This just isn't helping.

It works by causing your skin to purge, getting additional blemishes is totally normal. Your body doesn't simply rid itself of pimples, they have to naturally develop and come to a head before eventually disappearing of your face it's a process. I have always had perfect skin but some time ago I went through a really tough time and the stress caused me to break out all over my face. Successful products that cleared up my face in a matter of days are Dr Organics Dead Sea salt facial care rang, you can purchase these products at your local health food store or order online from Holland and Barrets. Hope this helps.

Sorry, but skin doesn't "purge". Any "purge" is simply a break out.

Not for sensitive skin!
I thought the cleanser and the toner were good but the repairing lotion made my face very dry. I even tried reducing the amount I put on as suggested on the bottle but it was still very dry. In some parts of my face I have been peeling and having dry patches because of this lotion. I tried a lot of things but its still very dry. HELP!?

It really works!
So let me start out by saying that my acne is not that bad. I have occasional pimples, usually during that time of the month and a few whiteheads that are barely noticeable. The first time I used this stuff it worked great, but step 3 really dried out my skin (I have dry skin). I usually just used step 1, once a day and it worked wonders, my skin was perfectly clear. When I ran out, I didn't go buy more I just started using other face soap that I had laying around. My skin started to get worse and worse, I finally went to walmart and bought the kit again and within in 3 days my skin is pretty much clear! I have been using step 2 and step, but I will probably stop once my skin starts to dry out (which is what I did last time) and just use step 1. My only complaint is that it does burn, and the smell is pretty bad, but I would rather put up with that than have bad skin! Sometime my skin does itch, not too sure why. I also use the terminator and that stuff is great as well. I would recommend this product!

Pros:

Inexpensive
Uses multiple ingredients
Gentle, yet highly effective
Easy to use

Cons:

Somewhat drying, but not too bad

This is one of the first products in YEARS that has dramatically improved my skin. I have been struggling with moderate acne for several years now. My most recent attempt at clearing it was using The Regimen (benzoyl peroxide treatment). I found that this method did not work for me, even when following it correctly. I think the overuse of lotion is what didn't work for me. It never allowed my skin to completely flake off and renew itself. However, the Acne Free system is wonderful.

Pros:

Works quickly
Effective on severe acne
Can use on face, back, chest and arms

Cons:

Very drying
Three or four steps
Can be irritating to skin

Acne Free is a good product. I use it on my back, face, arms and chest. It works better than anything I have gotten from the dermatologist. However, watch out for drying and rebound break-outs. Don't use too often to avoid this.

Pros:

clears most acne (Sensitive skin kit)
fast
cheap

Cons:

drys my cheeks, chin, and a little bit on my forehead

I picked up acnefree at walgreens a couple weeks ago. In about 4 days i started to see results. I had acne mostly on my forehead, but i also had blackheads and whiteheads on my nose. Now my acne on my forehead has gone down to around 2 little bumps. The white/blackheads on my nose are completely gone. I did notice that when i didn't use the cleanser for a day or two that my chin started getting little bumps. I picked back up to using the whole 3 steps every day and it leaves my skin clean! I absolutly love acnefree!

Pros:

cheap, works quickly, easy to use

Cons:

drying

I bought this product 4-5 days ago. I literally can not see half the acne spots I had. These spots were bad enough it took skill to cover them with concealer. The texture of my skin has improved greatly and I can use a tinted moisturizer to cover the flaws instead of thick foundations. I did burn and itch a little bit and still does, but I think that's mainly due to dryness. I live in a cold windy state and I would definitely recommend you use a moisturizer with this. I even used baby oil at one point. As long as you can balance out the dryness this product is definitely worth it. I've tried Proactive, Nuetrogena, Clean and Clear.. all that stuff and this works WAY better.

Pros:

clears up acne
smooths skin
helps to even skin tone

Cons:

drys out certain areas
bleaches towels

I absolutely love this stuff. I had moderate acne in my T-zone and I couldn't find anything that actually helped clear it up. After looking up many products I came across this and fell in love. It takes about 2 months to get the full effect but it's worth the wait. I used to always have at least 20-30 zits but now I only have a maximum of 5 at a time. The only downside was that it dried out certain parts of my face but it wasn't anything that a little moisturizer couldn't fix. Also, you must stay consistent and use all of the three products day and night. If you skip just one night, it will mess the whole clearing process up. Trust me. I would definitely suggest giving it a try. It beats spending 3 times as much on ProActive when you could get the same results!
