Pros:

very inexpensive
smells delish

Cons:

when you buy a cheap brand you expect cheap reaction

Ugh i tried this producted twice in one day once in the morning and once in the evening. as soon as i used this product my face felt awsum like the stuff was really working. I used it again for a 3rd time and i notice my face was extreamly dry. As soon as i got to work i notice my face was really itchey i tried not to itch it because me knowing i would make it red and irrated. When i went to the restroom my face was red and puff and was really really dry! I figured it was some sort of reaction to it when i went home and washed my face with water and no soap my face felt a 100x better but after my face dried from the water it was DRY and RED! i would tell anyone who wants to try this producted to save you money dont do it! if you want qulity then pay a few extra bucks and buy the GOOD face wash this stuff SUCKS!

Pros:

Works for the first 2 days

Cons:

Dries up skin to flakes, Stretches your skin when you open your mouth, Caused MORE acne, and causes misery

This product is a big fat JOKE. It worked for the first 2 days fine. I followed the instructions and it was OK. Then one morning I woke up to have flakes all over my cheeks, forehead, and a burning sensation to even talk because the "flakes" stretched my skin. It caused 2 zits on my nose. Lovely. I'm miserable right now just writing this review. The only way to stop the burning sensation somewhat is to drink tons of water. It detoxes your skin and body. But this product should be banned. I think the FDA needs to reexamine this product because it's HORRIBLE.

Pros:

works for the first few months

Cons:

dries skin out.
doesnt work.
EXPENSIVE &
only lasts a month and a half. or less.

Acne Free really cleared my acne the first few months of using it. the problem is, you have to by it like once a month because the 3rd step you run out of REALLY fast.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Caused more breakouts than I've ever had in my life, smells bad, 3rd step has a hard to squeeze bottle

I was using a Neutrogena cleanser and acne lotion and barely had any breakouts, maybe one or two during my mensturation cycle. However, I wanted to try a new product that I thought would work well, but wow was I wrong. I started to have a reaction to the product and had one breakout... then another. I stayed calm and thought "maybe it will get worse before better," but then I got another, and another. Mind you that I have never broken out like this, Ever. I don't care what people say, but when a product makes you breakout more at the beginning, even if it does die down, it means that your body is allergic to it and trying to fight it off, then your body gets used to the product, and if you ever try to go off it, you will break out again. It's a horrible cycle and I do not recommend getting caught up in it. I stopped using it after a week and am back to a gentle cleanser. Unfortunately, my face is still reacting to the reaction and I'm still breaking out. Hopefully it will calm down again naturally.

Pros:

makes skin feel clean
comes with repair lotion which helped moisturize

Cons:

expensive
I still broke out

I used it for about a month or a little less and I saw no improvement. It didn't stop any breakouts. On the box, they say the repair lotion really works and that it kills 99% bacteria and sebum. But it just made my face become and feel oily.

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.
