Pros:

Dried up acne

Cons:

Dried and burned my face.

I bought Acnefree after years of using Proactiv with great results. I am not "allergic to Benzoyl peroxide". This stuff is just that harsh. I started by following the directions and after I had purple skin. I decided to use the cleanser just once a day. Still even after watering the product down my face is red and burning. This is not a good way to save a buck. I am on my way to pick up more Proactiv. This stuff is getting thrown out!! After reading MANY reviews now seeing that I am not the only one with dry, hurting skin, I am angry at my wasted efforts.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Started to burn my face after a week, even when only used once a day. Did not clear up my face AT ALL. Didn't change a thing.

Obviously the same product does not give the same results to everyone. I wish I hadn't paid so much for nothing....

Acne Free Sensitive Spot Treatment burns

Cons:

Awoke to burning puffy face

I have used regular strength with the same burning results. I thought this would be perfect to use to get ready for a church handbook photo session.

Cons:

Face felt like sandpaper!

I tried this after using Proactiv for a couple years, and discovered that it did not work for me at all!! Everyone's skin is different, but this made no difference at all in my acne and made my skin so dry that it felt like touching sandpaper. I personally did not have a good experience with this, so I can't say that I recommend it. But like I said, everyone's skin is different, and I truly believe there is a solution out there for everyone! This could be yours!

Pros:

NONE.

Cons:

OKAY SO I USED THE PRODUCT FOR 2 WEEKS AS DIRECTED 2 YEARS AGO ON MY FOREHEAD AND MY SKIN WAS BURNT. I HAD TO LIVE WITH IT FOR A YEAR BECAUSE OUT OF ALL THE PRODUCTS I TRIED TO FIX IT NONE WORKED.

IT MAKES YOUR SKIN WORSE. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BAD IT MADE MY SKIN. I HAD TO GO TO A DOCTOR BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD. I HAD SOME PIMPLES AND I JUST WANTED THEM TO GO AWAY AND I ENDED UP GETTING THIN, SCARRED, INFLAMED SKIN. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH NOT TO USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Cons:

Smells like a basket of rotting eggs!
Made my face burn with itchy, bumpy redness.

Even though this product was less expensive than others available, I sure do wish I had been able to test it on my skin in an inconspicuous area first. I tried this for three days, following the directions to the letter. Had to quit because I noticed that my face was beginning to feel very itchy. My face is unbearable today which is why I turned to the internet. Figured someone else might have a suggestion for getting rid of the itchy redness. Looks like I'm going to have to tough it out. The product website recommends that you keep trying the product and cut out certain steps, but I think you'd have to be off your rocker to continue using anything that makes your face feel and look this bad. It also feels very bumpy to the touch. Like giant goosebumps. Fortunately, the bumps aren't really huge enough to see unless you're looking for them. But still, gross.

Pros:

None!

Cons:

The cleanser smells like sewage. Burns my skin, AND my face looks worse now than it did before. Do not buy it!

Huge waste. Do not buy it unless you want the extra redness, dryness, burning feeling and oh yeah....the smell of sewage on your face.

All this did was burn my face. Nothing good happened when using this. It also stains things easily.
