Pros:

None

Cons:

This product was horrible. It made my skin red, dry, shiny, and my acne was much worse. My skin felt tight and suffocated.

This product never worked for me. I've found that some acne products will make your acne a little worse in the beginning and then clear it up well. But AcneFree never helped my skin. It was awful. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.

Pros:

Clears skin at first

Cons:

Stops working and doesn't completely clear you up

I use the Acne Free Severe because the regular one doesn't work as well. I have been using this product for a long time and it worked for awhile, but noticed my skin is breaking out just as much as before I started using it. I might as well not be using it. I think it does help limit some of my zits but even using this according to the directions and on a consistent basis, I still always have about 3 zits on my face. Might be good for people with light acne. I use it because I can't find anything else that works and it's now just a routine, which is pathetic that nothing out there can cure acne.

Pros:

Works better then some of the the other products i've used. Controls acne for a little while.

Cons:

Bleaches towels or clothes easily. Over drying. Doesn't control oil very well. Over time it's like your face becomes immune to it and you begin getting the acne back again. The newer packaging makes it harder to squeeze out.

I used this product for a good two years and for about a year and half it kept the acne at back and kept my skin clear, with a few occasional zits. over time however my skin has seemed to become immune to the medication as a few months ago i began getting severe pimples on the sides of my face (where they were before i started using the product). It takes awhile for the medication to start taking effect, about a month or two. Also in starting to use this product you must build your face up to it, otherwise your skin will become red and splotchy and VERY dry. My advice would be to find a different product.

Pros:

Works

Cons:

Dries your skin
Does not get rid of it all

I used it and it was ok. I noticed that the Repair Lotion really dried out my skin so I just skip that step altogether and use a different moisturizer for my skin (that works).

Pros:

Easy to put on. Worked at first

Cons:

Killed my face. Seemed to work and then all of a sudden intense dryness. Leathery. Painful.

My face was swollen. I had been using this product prior and no results, after awhile I got frustrated and then *this* happened. My eye lid is swollen (I didn't even place it near my eye-Forehead and chin!), skin peeling. I can't put on cover up to mask the peeling, I'm not all about looks but this is ridiculous. I look like I have a skin disease. It didn't do anything for my acne either and I've been using it for awhile. I wouldn't buy it. I would try it out first. My face is not sensitive and this is a very extreme reaction-especially since I've been using it for awhile.

Pros:

-Sometimes you could really feel it working, and it felt really cool to use.

Cons:

-Dried out my skin really really bad. I have burns around my eyes, and around my mouth is really dry. It's flaking and I can hardly move it. My right eye is slightly swollen from the burns and dryness. I didn't really see any improvement in my skin.

At first when I read it on this site, and got it recommended to me by a friend, I didn't really care what the other people said. Boy! Was I wrong. About the third day in, I noticed that it slightly burned when I put a little cover-up around my eyes. (Because I get horrible bruising, and sleep lines.) I ignored it, and went on with my routine, by the fifth day (today) I did my morning usual, washed my face, etc. But as I started to really move around my face, and look at myself in the mirror, I noticed that one eye was slightly swollen. This freaked me out. I started looking closer. It's horribly red around my right eye, and slightly around my left. I called in sick, because I did NOT want to be seen like this. My mouth is so dry, and it hurts. Bottom line?: I would not use this product again. It dried out my skin because of the high peroxide count, and in the end I did NOT see any improvements like other things I've used.

Pros:

I've been using it for 3days so far and my skin is much smoother than it was before and its clearing up!..no drying effect for me.

Cons:

The spot treatment burns and makes my skin very red.

Its a great product for clearing your acne just not for the beauty of your immediate skin.
November 19, 2009

Pros:

definately saw a change within the first week

Cons:

Dry Dry Dry skin which makes putting makeup on hard. And it seemed to shrink the big zits but they didn't go away, they turned a funny purple color and were more like blackheads. When I popped them it was like a zit underneath a blackhead.

It works better than the prescription stuff I've tried but not as well as advertised. I think maybe my makeup might have something to do with the weird purple-ish blackhead on top of a zit thingy.

Pros:

it cleared up my face

Cons:

it burns my face and dries it out bad

i have used this product for 3 days. after the first application of step one my face started burning so i continued with the other steps twice a day leaving step one out. my face is so red, raw, and hurting. my face doesnt break ouy that bad but when it does i want something to help and this does. but i can not get pass the burning pain on my face. i am going to call and get my money back.

Pros:

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE 'SENSITIVE' LINE.
Works for a while

Cons:

Stops working after about 2 months (almost as if your face has built up immunity to it or something).
Oil-free moisturizer gives skin an oily appearance (-_-)

I would recommend it if they sold all the products half the size they are now (half the price also), so it finishes when it stops working.
