Pros:

Got the larger size and bonus step #1 at Sam's Club in the USA

Cons:

Put it on at night for the first time. Burned, tingled. Face turned BRIGHT red and you could see every place I put it on (and didn't!) It felt AWFUL and my skin was so DRY. If I touched my face the pain was almost UNBEARABLE. Slept with multiple soaked washclothes on my face in an attempt to stop the pain and swelling and get some sleep. Face was BURNING HOT to the touch. Stains EVERYTHING, smells AWFUL. My pimples are so dry they are starting to PEEL. NEVER buy this product! It is so painful and awful. I cannot go out in public for atleast 3 hours before the red starts to go down. Face still hurts to the touch!!!!

Pros:

There are no pros so I'm using this space to express more of my hatered toawrd this product. It is soooo extremly bad don't make a mistake like me you'll regret it my skin is so gross and it hurts sooo bad!

Cons:

This product is awful, don't use it...you'll regret it majorly. It was fine the first day I used it but the next day my skin was really dried out, it hurt so bad and now its peeling. I can't go out in public! My uncle's a lawyer so I'm sueing.

NEVER EVER EVER use in a billlion years unless you want your skin to harden, dry out, peel and hurt.

Pros:

I have the sensative skin formula and for some reason after everytime I use these products (I use it every day and night) my face is burning and turns all red! I have been using it for 3 days and I am seeing no results! What is going on? HELP!

Cons:

NONE

It even says that you will see results in 3 days and that's exactly how long i've been using it for and still no results. I feel very discouraged! Should I keep using it even though it is severly causing a burning sensation after everytime I use it? Or should I just give up? I know I have sensative skin, and that's the reason I got the sensative formula. I'm tired of hiding behind heavy makeup, I just want clear skin! What should I do?!

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:

The only good thing I can say is that it was easy to dispense. I would have said affordability, but I can't even say that since it cost me more in Benadryl to combat the swelling and pain.

Cons:

Horrible skin reaction; swollen, red, itchy and painful. My skin under my eyes is so puffy I can see it in my peripheral vision.

My husband and I bought this product thinking it would be similar to Proactiv. We couldn't have been more wrong. On the bottle it states "Gentle Exfoliating Formula with Benzoyl Peroxide". I'm not so sure where the "gentle" comes into play. Considering I received this reaction after only two uses, it seems to contain a harsher ingredient than Proactiv. Needless to say I will be happily coughing up the extra cash and going back to Proactiv.

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.
