Pros:

-It has actually worked for me!
-Not bad in price. 20 dollars USD for a kit (cheaper than some prescription drugs)

Cons:

-Can't find it in Canada :/
-Indeed, not a miracle cure
-Didn't work till over a week or so?

My face has never been acne free. In middle school I had bad acne. In high school I started using Benzoyl peroxide and all though it helped my face still had a lot of pimples. I have tried some perscription items like clindoxyl gel, clindasol, and bezamycin but they never really helped that much. But since using Acnefree I have had a lot of success. For the first time my face is very close to acne free! If I have pimples they are small and unnoticeable. None seem to be left on my forehead. Al though it didn't really work for me for the first few days. I almost gave up... But then suddenly I noticed a clearer face! Now to get rid of acne scars next.

Pros:

Acnefree cleared up about 75% of my acne and made the other 25% smaller and flatter. It really helped me to deal with my problem.

Cons:

It takes forever to put on and dries out my face a little.

This stuff WILL help your acne alot, but don't expect it to completely cure the symptoms of acne.

NOT for sensitive skin!!!!!!
I got this product because i was looking for an acne solution for my sensitive skin. I thought this would be the perfect product. I used it for 2 days (twice a day) like the instructions said; my acne did clear up, but my skin started breaking out in a red rash. I stopped using the product and this morning I woke up with HUGE bags under my puffy swollen eyes (it looks like someone literally beat me). My face is itchy and looks sunburned with little red bumps all over my face. I am not allergic to any of the ingredients so I don't understand why my face looks like this. All I can say is if you have sensitive skin like I do, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT! It will cause you more pain and embarrassment than it't worth. I am very upset with the results and had I known what this product would do to me, I would NEVER NEVER NEVER even considered buying it!!!

Hi, I've just read your comment and I wanted to tell you that my sister had the same problem as you had with the bags under the eyes and the sunburned face. But she reduced the dose and then she was okay, Her skin went perfect, No more acnee and scar. So maybe you should had reduced the dose or take it one day on two.. Or you're juste having a bad reaction to this product.

Pros:

Works quickly
Doesn't overdry
Reduced redness
Evens tone

Cons:

Smell of toner is horrible.
Freebie facial brush scrubber in the kit is a bit rough on the skin.

I'm 28 yrs old and my skin has gone crazy since having my last child. I have tried several washes including going sulfate free w/ little to no results. I got the Sensitive skin version of this (which says it's sulfate free, yay!) at Walmart that included a free facial cleansing brush like the Clarisonic type rotating brushes. This brush works ok and does feel soft to the touch, but on the face it feels pretty rough so I might invest in a better one in the future but for now, I'm trying to see if it's something I will get used to as I've not tried one before. The first day I used the system, I noticed less redness. The next morning, several spots had visibly shrunk and the scarring/darkness from old acne was improved. This blew my mind! I didn't expect it to work but I'm soo happy. The toner is gentle and doesn't burn at all but the smell is horrible. That does go away when it dries which is pretty quickly thank goodness! I do use the Simple brand Replenishing lotion after using the toner to prevent drying and then follow up w/ the spot treatment lotion. I will not likely need to use the spot stuff as a mask as it seems to be doing the trick using it sparingly. I've been using it for a week and my skin is clearing up, my skin tone has gotten dramatically better, and the old scarring is fading! No more blotchyness or redness. I'm SUPER impressed w/ this kit for doing all this! I really didn't expect it to work at all but I was getting desparate to find something and I though for the price and free brush, it was worth a try. SO glad I did!!!

Pros:

-COMPLETELY clears acne
-significantly fades acne scars
-smooth skin
-works in a few days

Cons:

-quite a bit of drying

This product works!!! After a couple of days my skin was completely clear! I've used every other product out there and never seen results like this. I LOVE this product, it has honestly changed my life. I only use it at night (because it dries my skin out) But i'd MUCH rather have dry skin than acne. If you're sick of having acne, start using this product! It also significantly reduced the appearance of my acne scars. I have struggled with acne for almost 9 years. It has somewhat dictated my life and I'm finally acne free! (The name of this product fits perfectly!) I'd marry this product if I could, I LOVE YOU 'ACNE FREE'!!

Pros:

worked after literally one day
fast
effective
cheap

Cons:

very drying
bleaches things

The bottom line is it WORKS. I had terrible acne five years ago and went on accutane, which cleared me up for like 4 years! In November, I started breaking out again really bad on my cheeks, chin, and jawline. I dramatically changed my diet from November- January hoping it would work (at the time I was using neutrogena stress free products which worked for like two years). Immediately the day after I started using AcneFree, my skin was smoother and I stopped getting new breakouts. It is extremely drying! What I do is mostly wash my face with the dove moisturizing bar (day and night) and then mix the AcneFree lotion with a drop of vitamin E oil. Just be careful if you have really oily skin. It usually takes care of the dryness though. If the drying gets really bad, just wash your face with dove soap in the morning, then dove/acnefree cleanser at night.

Pros:

Works fast, leaves skin soft

Cons:

none so far

I don't have acne perse, just a few pimples now and then. I have pretty oily skin and this seems to have helped that a lot. It has also made my pores look smaller and evened out the redness in my skin. I tend to get quite a few pimples on my upper arms, so I've been using it there too and it's helped a lot so far! I have never had anything help this area before, so I'm definitely happy something is working! I haven't experienced drying skin like some other people have noted, but like I said, I have oily skin so that could be why, or maybe it's because I've only been using it for a week.

Pros:

Cleared my skin very well within the first two weeks of use.

Cons:

Dries skin out, must use regularly as directed to keep skin clear, doesn't have same effects for long.

I used this product regularly for 5 months and was pleased with the results more or less. It did not clear my skin as well as it did during the fist two weeks of use, but is more effective with regular use. However, After the 5 months, the skin around my eyes got so DRY, PEELING, RED, and PUFFY, even while using less than directed and using the moisturizer. I had to discontinue use and wait for my eyes to return to normal, which took two weeks!! I purchased the sensitive skin package, although my skin is normally not sensitive to be on the safe side and still had these results. NOT worth it.

Pros:

Cleared up most of my acne

Cons:

it's Very drying and didn't work as well after the first two weeks

If you want a product that's only good for two weeks then go ahead and try this. Other than that I would not recomend this product
