Pros:

- Clears up large pimples
- Clears up small red pimples
- Clears up blemishes
- Works FAST
- Smell isn't that bad

Cons:

- Dries up skin
- Causes itchiness first 4 days
- Tingles a little

It WORKED for me within the first week. After about the 4th day my face started to itch, got red, and started peeling. At that point, I reduced it's use from twice a day to only once at night. I found that using Neutrogena Visibly Even moisturizer and AcneeFree was the PERFECT combo. I continue using AcneFree at night before bed, and during the day i dab on a little moisturizer. It's great because Visibly Even evens out your skin tones and softens, and AcneFree keeps it clear of blemishes! And the best part, I got it on sale at Walgreens for half price, with an included bonus of the extra moisturizer!!

Pros:

Clears acne pimples fast
Reduces oil on skin
Affordable

Cons:

Can dry your face out
Doesn't reduce blackheads

I think this product is worth trying out! I have used for a little less than 4 weeks and my acne is nearly gone and I have no new pimples. I do wear makeup on a daily basis. If you are using this product twice daily, I would recommend using a light moisturizer once a day so it doesnt over dry your skin.

Pros:

Works great! I wish this was around when I was a teen but I have it now. I have been using it for about 5 years and my skin looks great. I can now us the cleanser and then I use wich hazel if I run low on the 2nd and 3rd bottles.

Cons:

I wish they still sold this in Costco.

I want to tell all people to get this and use it if they have acne because I never thought I would ever look in the mirror and see clear skin. I remember being a little worried aboult trying this because I did try Proactive first and it made my skin worse but this product is fast and great.

Pros:

Easy System
Skin Feels Great After Using It
No Too Pricey

Cons:

Nothing Really, Skin May Get A Bit Dry, If So, Moisturize

I really like this product so far. My skin is already clearing up, Just 2 days! My skin feels great after I use this 3-step system. I haven't needed to moisturize yet, but may need to soon. It isn't an irritating product, like some of the other products I have tried, Stridex pads being the main example. But, of course, everyone's body, skin, and acne are different. Seems to feel pretty light, feels good to wash your face with it, and doesn't leave that awful oily feeling afterwards that some other products gave me. I tried using the Clean and Clear Morning Burst system, and that didn't really work for me. But, that isn't really for an acne system, that just cleans normal skin. It did however, make my skin breath, so to speak. Anyway, I really like the AcneFree system so far. I am using the regular system, although they make a few others, including AcneFree Severe and AcneFree Sensitive skin. I assume they just have different amounts of benzoyl peroxide, but, I am not sure. Best of luck using this product, and I hope your acne and skin become amazingly beautiful!!!

Pros:

I used the Acnefree Severe System.After a month it made my skin smooth and the scars from my previous acne were eventually going away.

Cons:

The first 3 weeks for me was really bad because my skin was red, flaky, and new bumps kept appearing.

I would definetly recommend it to anyone who has severe or moderate acne because you can really see the results if you persistently use it twice a day with following the steps.New bumps may appear while your using it but it doesn't mean it's not working because really, your skin is adjusting to the medication.Mine took almost 2 months to become clear and 2-3 months is typically how long it takes for any acne products to give you visibly clear results.

Pros:

It works for me

Cons:

none

I am 50 years old and have had acne since I was 26 years old , I seen this in the store marked down and thought what the heck, had pretty much figured this was what my skin was going to look like . So I was pleasantly surprised when my face started to clear up even the little hard bumps that never go away were gone! And it doesn't dry out my skin .I bought the one with four items it is about $20.00 and lasts amost 2 months I think thats a good deal for anyones price range, But for me not to have acne like I did is priceless !!!

Pros:

clears acne fast
smells nice
easy, convienent, and cheap

Cons:

made skin a little dry, but can be fixed

i've read a lot about people's skin getting really dry with the severe system, but these can be easily fixed by wearing a moisturizer, i recommend either clinique or clean and clear brand. this stuff cleared my acne, and i don't break out anymore. however it did not shrink my pore size, but thats not what its meant to do anyway. this product is amazing!

Pros:

It works for me! Been clear for over a month.

Cons:

Makes skin dry.
Orange bottles are unattractive. Orange is not the new pink.

I use the AcneFree Severe 4-part kit that I got at CVS. It comes in orange bottles. The only part of this kit that I really use is the Benzoyl Peroxide lotion. I used to use 10% BP cream as a spot treatment on affected areas and it would help some, but it would never be a final solution. I used this 10% BP lotion all over my face, and my face has been CLEAR for about a month now. I even weathered my most recent period without issue, even though I usually get hormonal breakouts. I used to pick a lot too, which I am working on stopping. I used to say that "I wouldn't have to pick if there was nothing to pick at," which is a fallacy, because picking can clog pores, and definitely damages skin, making it more susceptible to future breakouts. However, for the first time in a long time, there really is nothing to pick! My skin is clear and smooth, and there are no blemishes, not even little ones. I put the lotion on every night, and after a few nights (especially because its winter) the skin around my mouth and on my cheeks will get dry. When that happens I just use a light moisturizer on the dry areas (non-medicated) and continue to put the BP lotion on my forehead.

Pros:

No new breakouts while using
Retinol makes skin look very healthy
Helps with redness and scars
Doesn't dry out face/skin is soft

Cons:

Some pimples not gone but barely visible
Sometimes face is not clean enough (oily)

I don't know why so many people say it dries out their face! My dad had this one day when I came home and I was cynical because what I was using (neutragena oil free cleanser, recommend!) was really good in that it cleaned my face but my skin was moisturized. However the toner/spot treatment was very ineffective. I have pretty oily skin, but when I use drying products it's dry with oil as well, not fun! This product has made my face look WAY better, never dried it out, but im used to washing my face whenever I can, but now that I'm only washing twice a day my face feels oily midday. I just use some oil absorbing sheets and maybe a little hand sanitizer to get rid of excess oil without washing my face all over. My face hasn't looked this good since I was 5 lol, recommend to oily skin or difficult acne/scars. If your skin is dry or pretty clear don't try the SEVERE kit you have other options but AcneFree is my all-time favorite! 2nd favorite was Clean n Clear system, tried Proativ but these two beat it.
