Pros:

worked for a couple of days

Cons:

dries up skin
irritates the skin

I used this product for 4 days and had to quit due to skin irritation. As others have stated, it dried out my skin and it feels as if I have a rash on my face. I used proactiv and I never had a problem with it. I wouldn't recommend this product to anybody.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Everything

My skin type; Fair, Oily expecially around t-zone. This system worked the first week because I major acne on my fourhead before school started. Within 3 days it was gone. After the first week of using the product it stopped working. It dried my face out horribly. It looked as if I had a sunburn look and feel to it due to irritation. The funny thing is my skin isn't so sensitive until I began using this.Now it has been sensitive since! WASTE OF MONEY. I'm not saying I'm not going to recommend it because everyone's is different but it did not work for me.

Pros:

Works after 1-2 days

Cons:

Only works for about a week, then skin gets worse!
Too drying and irritating, may swell your face, feels/looks like you have a sunburn!

TERRIBLE PRODUCT, DO NOT USE! I'm not allergic to the main ingredient in A.Free, and I've use this product years ago. It was fine back then, but recent changes to the product have seriously effected the quality. I recently began using it again to clear up my skin.It was ok for the first few days but stopped working and made my skin break out more. Tonight, after washing my face, it began to burn really bad as if I had a sunburn. When I looked in the mirror, I was HORRIFIED! My face was so red and irritated. I had to put a soothing gel on to get the burning to calm down. I'm very upset at this company and it's B.S. product.

Pros:

-makes your skin glow!
-Worked after 3 to 1 week, but that's it
- not expensive.

Cons:

-Dries out very very bad.
-You realllly need a moisturizer or else it cracks the skin.
- After a while, it 4 weeks it didn't work anymore. It only made my face very red, and it burned.
- Made some of my scars less noticible.
- Didn't get rid of all my scars and acne

I am very dissapointed in this product, as it didn't work for my type of skin. I've put so much money into acne products and medications from my doctors and dermatologist. I've but this product, because I've heard very good comments on the review. But I really regret it now. I will stop using toxic products on my face, as it only burns it.

Pros:

Price was inexpensive; paid 21.99

Cons:

Severe allergic reaction

Do not like this product. Used first evening and next morning. Face became extremely red, itchy, splotchy red patches, tingly, swollen cheeks just under soft eye pads and eyes swelled almost shut (from histamine response, as I did not use it on my eyes.) Never had any reactions to benzoyl perioxide before. Had to take benadryl which helped. Just glad I didn't have to go to hospital for shot of epinephrine.

Pros:

Sadly, none.

Cons:

I hate giving negative reviews, but I feel as though I need to say something about this...

I have hormonal acne and I break out monthly when I start PMSing. I woke up three days ago to a new breakout on my right cheek near my mouth and resorted to AcneFree to help dry it out (my mom had purchased the product a couple months back but it hadn't ever been used). I used it for two days and I noticed my break-out had slightly worsened and my skin was quite red, and I woke up this morning to find that my entire chin area and forehead had broken out in a huge, inflamed RASH. I immediately threw the system in the trash and returned to my normal skin-care routine (consisting of only organic products). I applied Extra Virgin Olive Oil to my entire face and it immediately helped with inflammation and my rash is now 50% gone. Congratulations to all who had success with this product...but for those with sensitive skin like me, I highly recommend you consider using this product.

Pros:

Reduced blackheads?

Cons:

Made my skin feel weird--probably dry

I got this at Costco, thinking why not. I should say that I've only used it 3 times, but those 3 times were enough for me to not want to use it anymore. I have fair skin, so I did one application, at night. Things were okay. No acne reduction (I had 2 cysts calming down and another just starting to flare), but maybe some blackhead reduction. I thought that maybe I could up the doseage to twice a day, as is recommended. I used it the next morning and evening, and noticed that the texture of my skin felt different. Before, the spots on my face that didn't have acne felt like the rest of me. Now it felt rough. And my cheeks were...shall we say, "rosy," which had never happened before (I don't really have sensitive skin). I've been off it a couple days now, but my skin still doesn't feel normal. This might work best on people who have acne all over your face, instead of in just one area. It didn't do much for me.

Pros:

Like Proactiv, but cheap.

Cons:

Irritates the skin and simply doesn't work.

It is AWFUL. I used the stuff ONE time and it turned my skin red. I looked like a had a sunburn. Then I used the toner, thinking it might cool my skin down some, and it burned. I came back to look in the mirror five minutes later and my skin was peeling. I don't even have sensitive skin. I usually use a Clean & Clear face wash, Stridex pads, and an Olay face lotion. If my face can handle mixing products, it should be able to handle this one product. DO NOT BUY THIS. It does not work and it with make your face worse off.

Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Dried out my skin, didn't do anything for my pimples, etc.

This product was horrible, it did nothing for my skin except dry it out. It didn't even help me from getting pimples. The redness didn't go away either. If it works for you, then good, but it didn't work for me!
