AcneFree does not work. Don't waste your money. My skin got worse not better. I just started using Acneticin. We'll see if this works. Will let you know.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Dries, irritates & burns the skin.

I tried Acne Free because the ad stated you can compare it to ProActiv and the price was great. This product dried my skin out (I have very oily skin), irritated it and made by skin feel like it was constantly burning. I've been using ProActive for 10yrs (love it), you can't compare the two.

Pros:

Low price

Cons:

Cleared up some acne at first, then I started breaking out like never before in my life. I stopped breaking out when I stopped using it. It's HORRIBLE.

This actually seemed to CAUSE more pimples. I stopped using it and switched to Persa Gel 10 and now I'm totally clear.

Pros:

This product has no pros for me.

Cons:

This product cant match up to proactive. I have undone all the good that proactive has done over the years just trying to save a few dollars. This product has given me ichy red nots all over my body, and it clears up only to come back in a month.

All I have to say is stay far away from this product. The money that you save is not worth it. Proactive may be a few dollars more but it works with zero side effects.

Pros:

Tightens pores, Cheap

Cons:

Dries skin, inflammation, swelling, breakout, doesn't react well with my skin, smells awful!!!

Awful product, definitely not better than ProActiv. I would never endorse it, and I only used it for two days. I used an ice bag to try and decrease the inflammation and swelling.

Pros:

Smell is okay.

Cons:

Repair lotion is very watery and grainy - also it is evidently not a lotion, as just about everyone has had to use moisturizers immediately following use.

Would not recommend. I have had at least a 10X increase in my acne. I thought that maybe it was just clearing out the bad stuff and I just needed to use it for a little longer, so I was very dedicated to using it 2x/day for about 4 weeks. I have never had acne as bad as I have now after using this product.

Worked for some time.

In the end, nothing really changed.

It's an awful product. I've been using it for months, and I've had no significant results.

Pros:

There were no pros when I used this product

Cons:

My skin was chemically burned and dried out. It made my skin worse than it already was. It is a horrible immitation of pro active and does not work better at all.

Don't use this product it is a waste of money and time.

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:

Worked effectively.
Clearer looking skin.

Cons:

Dries and burns skin.
Bad for those with sensitive skin or skin allergies.

At first i started to believe this was a great product and for some this may be the case. However, my skin reacted badly to the bezoyl peroxide. I think i have know developed an allergie to it. After about a week of use my skin looked and felt awful; it burned, dried and stung. This did not stop for about a week.A nd so i would like to tell you to be cautious with this product (acnefree severe acne treatment). If you do purchase it, start with just the cleanser and gradually build up to using the full amount of benzoyl peroxide. In hindsight i can see that i was naive in believing this product could cure my acne. I suppose its about your preferance, oh and skin type. I've heard there's a more gentle range of Acnefree products for sensitive skin which could be worth trying. The VERY bottom line is if you have sensitive skin don't use the severe range. If you don't and you have severe acne definately use this product. For me it didn't work. thanks.
