Pros:

Didn't use it long enough to see how it works. But because of my skin's first reaction, I see no pros.

Cons:

I bought the AcneFree sensitive. Immediately after my first use of the cleanser, my skin felt like it was hot and burning. My skin was a bit red as well. I did not feel the need to continue the product based on such a fast adverse reaction.

I would not recommend this product, especially to those who have sensitive/dry skin like myself. I thought the sensitive formula would be gentler, but it was not. I have used other products containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide before, and never had a bad reaction to those. Maybe some dryness, but I have never experienced burning skin like this. I know some say to keep using it and it'll get better, but I'm not risking a worse allergic reaction with continued use. I am taking it back to Walmart next chance I get.

Pros:

Cleared skin quickly and left looking better after one use.

Cons:

Awful burning, iching, and dry skin as result of using this product. This does not go away after several uses and will get worse if even one day of treatment is missed.

NOT at all worth the price paid for it, nor the slightly clearer skin. You are much better off selecting a different product. I recommend Proactive, even though price is higher, it is a much more gentle treatment. This treatment caused burning, itching, and severe dry skin on my face. I am not at all sensitive to Benzoyl Peroxide, however, this product was awful to my skin.

Pros:

cleared up my skin

Cons:

you go through like.. a bag of cotton balls a week

i liked it. it worked for me. the only thing i didnt like was having to wait to put on the next step.
February 28, 2009

Pros:

worked quickly and well, was skeptical at first but it really worked after 2 days!

Cons:

Need to use a normal face lotion after use to keep skin from getting too dry

Love it, recommend it, I seriously saw results for my moderate acne
February 21, 2009

Pros:

It works for about a couple weeks.

Cons:

It stops working and the toner burns.

This isn't worth it. The toner burned my skin and only worked on my face for a week or so. If you are in your teen years and looking for a good acne product, don't use this. It doesn't help.
February 21, 2009

Pros:

It cleared up my skin a bit

Cons:

My face looked more clear, but felt scaly and the burning and itching were horrible! I could hardly blink my eyes hurt so badly.

Don't buy unless you can handle the pain...even though it was clearing up the acne...my face felt scaly and that is not worth it.

Pros:

Affordabilty and immediate results!

Cons:

None.

The results I have experienced were more than I could have imagined or hoped for! I have gotten MRSA infections every year for the past five years. This year the staph infection invaded my neck, chin and areas behind my ears. After being on numerous anitbiotics and oinments for 5 mos, the MRSA cleared up. However, I was left with scars and recurring acne as a result of applying the oinment over infected areas of my skin. Nothing was working for me and the deep pockets of acne infection all over my face and neck were unbearable. Then I found Acne-Free while in CVS. I had been considering Neutragena's Skin ID or ProActive, but did not want to enroll in the monthy programs both offered. It came down to cost; and times are hard living within a waining economy--so I opted to try Acne-Free because it was so easily accessable and affordable. I am so glad that I did! I'm in my mid-20's and I've never experienced such great results. My skin was transformed within 2 days! I highly recommend!

Pros:

It clears your skin and makes it not as oily.

Cons:

I have dry skin and it made it hurt bad. It is super red and its only the third day.

It depends on the person really and the weather. It is cold and dry where I am at the moment so my skin jsut gets worse with the treatment.
January 5, 2009

Pros:

It has actually cleared my skin up nicely. I don't have extreme acne just a few things here and there and it works great on mi skin.

Cons:

It may not be for people with sensitive skin based on the other reviews.

It dries out oily skin and if you have naturally dry skin I would reccomend a different product.

Pros:

The AcneFree product worked very well on my back and cleared up my acne and made my pores smaller and not so oily.. But sadly it reactions on my face say otherwise! :( Use on back not face!

Cons:

This product burns the face, especially around the eyes.. It is making my whole face discolored and i looks like this product is giving me an allergic reaction! :(

Please..i wouldnt take the risk! I would so much rather have had the acne on my face them looking like my whole face is swollen! If you plan to use this product for your back or body.. i would recommend it.. but for the face, i wouldnt! The first day the product didnt really do much.. but by the second day it started burning and i thought it would go away.. then the third day my whole face feels like its on fire and is swollen and red :( I really think it is worth the few extra bucks to get proactive.. I also plan to go to the doctor..its seriously that bad of a reaction!
