Pros:

It did decrease the frequency of my breakouts and they are minor compared to what they used to be.

Cons:

If you use it too often, it dries your face out... and makes your skin very sensitive.

This product works pretty good, but that's just me. Everyone has different skin, types of acne, stress levels, and bad habits. The Severe Acnefree foaming cleanser is probably my favorite product. It's worked better than my $180 dollar tube of Differin combined with my antibiotics.

Pros:

AFFORDABLE, FRAGRANCE FREE, IT WORKS

Cons:

NONE

I AM 37 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DEALT WITH ACNE SINCE I WAS 17. I WENT ON THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL WHICH HELPED BUT I GAINED WEIGHT. I TRIED PROACTIV WORKED FOR AWHILE A THEN THE ACNE CAME BACK. I REALIZED IT WAS THE FRAGRANCE IN THE ACNE WASHES THAT TRIGGERED MY BREAKOUTS. I LOOK ALL OVER FOR PRODUCTS THAT HAD ACNE FIGHTING INGREDIENTS BUT NO FRAGRANCE AND I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING!! UNTIL ACNE FREE!! THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. I MAY GET ONE OR TWO THE WEEK BEFORE MY PERIOD BUT THAT IS IT. I USE IT TWICE A DAY AND THEN I USE MARY KAY FRAGRANCE FREE MOISTURIZER AFTERWARDS. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!

Pros:

It's pretty cheap, and it will clear skin if used twice a day, everyday.

Cons:

The product is so inconsistent that some boxes work and some do not, as if they've expired. The step one cleanser does not foam, the step two toner smells of pure alcohol, and the step 3 cream is so thick it takes half the bottle to cover your face.

This product is a crappy, inconsistent knock-off. I was taking a shower and poured some of the (brand new) step one cleanser into my hand. Upon impact, the cleanser sparked (with a loud popping sound) and sent and electric shock through my hand and up my arm! What the F is that about?! It scared the crap out of me and kind of hurt. I returned this product the next day. I've used acne-free a lot in the past because it was 20 dollars and you could conveniently buy it at Wal-Mart. (Instead of buying expensive products over the phone and having to pay more for shipping.) Let's face it, I'm not Jessica Simpson and I can't afford 75 dollars a month on face soap! I'm a self supported student, not some rich pop-princess with down-syndrome. So my advice, stick to Clearasil, Neutrogena, or something equally affordable and less likely to electrocute you when applying.

Pros:

I've noticed a slow change. I didn't exactly see results after 3 days though, more like 5 days. The toner does sting, but it does its job. My skin doesn't get dry because I use moisturizer afterwards. It dries up my pimples quickly after I get one.

Cons:

I wish there was more of the repair lotion. It just seems odd that there's such a small bottle compared to the other 2.

It works. It might not be at a very quick pace, but it works slowly and gradually.

Pros:

It's fairly cheap and convinces you to use it.

Cons:

It doesn't work, Step 2: the toner bleaches anything it comes into contact with, and your skin gets really dry.

Barely works and dries out your skin.

Pros:

None really

Cons:

It dried out my skin really bad and didn't clear up my acne.

Wouldn't recommend it. At least it's cheaper than proactiv!

Pros:

easy to use and inexpensive compared to other products (ex. proavtive)i found the whole set on ebay for under 15 dollars.

Cons:

bottles are pretty small you dont get a whole lot for your money.

i have been using this product one week now and have definitely seen an improvement. Although, i have been using steps one and two more often than the directions say, about 4-5 times daily, but i have really oily skin. i also didn't get dry patches around my chin like other strong products. other reviewers complained of a bad smell, but i did not really notice any.

Pros:

Cleared my severe acne. I no longer have any skin issues other than past acne scarring

Cons:

Need to follow up with a moisturizer, otherwise too drying. I use "cera ve" from walgreens and its amazing.

This last year has been a nightmare for me with my skin. cystic acne was horrible. I tried EVERYTHING, microdermabrasion, OCM, proactive, dans regimine, sensiclear, all over the counter products, organic everything, neutrogena, chemical peels, only water, eat only raw foods, drink only water, prescription drugs, detox, smoothies, apple cider vinegar and green tea. My face would clear up for a few days them massively break out again. I follow up the 3 steps with cera ve moisturizer. I read the reviews on here and it was the best $12 spent. This morning I looked in the mirror and thought to myself...god thank for finding something that works. I do not have ANY blemishes. Please try it with the moisturizer. Hope someone elses life changes from it too!

Pros:

It didn't dry out my skin at all

Cons:

After a few days it stopped working

I saw a difference within the first 3-4 days, but soon after it stopped working. I started getting a ton of zits on my forehead and on my nose. I thought maybe I just needed to use it for longer, but after a few weeks I knew it wasn't working. It ended up making my acne worse than better. I was hoping that I could find a more affordable product, but in the end I went back to prescription products. My advice would be to see a dermatologist or skin care specialist about your acne- so far it has worked best for my skin
