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!

Cons:

IT DID NOTHING FOR ME except BREAKOUT even more. and made my face even more oiler

this product did no good for me. i wouldnt reccomend it. i have sensitive skin and i heard this was light enough for it.. NOT!... it has the same ingredients as PROACTIVE!

Pros:

When i first used this product my skin cleared up really fast, and i would get an occasional zit here and there, but it worked really well.

Cons:

Ive been using this product for about 2 years now, and my skin is getting pretty bad, i always have a zit and can not get it to go away. This product seems like its only for temperary use, and after your skins clear, they'll just come back.

If you want to get rid of acne for a few months use this, but if you want it to keep working, dont waste your money, its not meant for a perm. acne treatment.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Makes your face worse

I tried it and it completly broke out my face. Made it worse then ever. After 2 months acne is still persistent and now my face is scared. I consistently break out and most of the time i will get painful deep pimples. I hate this and was hoping it would work.

Pros:

None aside from affordability.

Cons:

Horrible exfoliant. My skin was always REALLY flaky. It smells horrible. I got deep painful pimples all over my face which wasn't even a problem I had before I started using it. After a couple months of using it I am now left with dark spots.

Do not buy this product! I had a similar experience to Heather's. I also RUINED my skin. Hopefully my scars and dark spots will go away. I am back on proactive now and in less than a week I've seen significant improvement to the quality of my skin. Acne Free left it dull and flaky. Bottom line, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Pros:

it was cheap - AND WAS A SCAM!

Cons:

horrible!!! I have been using it for 3 months now and I have gone through SO much! 1) It dries out your skin SO much and I put on pounds of lotion on every day 2) makes your skin SOO red! it is so embarrasing to have so much red 3) still have zits

it is the worst thing ever and it is a scam - I am going to acnexus NO MORE BENZOYL PEROXIDE!!!!

Cons:

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

My break-outs are usually mild and revolve around my menstrual cycle. But, my acne is worse than ever before after using AcneFree. I realize their website says it gets worse before it gets better, but this string of horrible break-outs is causing a lot of scarring. I am 31 years-old and my skin has NEVER, EVER looked this bad. I am absolutely horrified. Absolutely horrified. There are no words. Even if the break-outs go away, now I will have to live with the scars forever. My face is completely ruined. Thanks for nothing Acne Free.

Pros:

3 Easy steps, free spot treatment with box purchase!

Cons:

Took away a few pimples, but overall BURNT the first layer of skin off my face. I had waaay dry skin around my cheekcs and nose for a week after I STOPPED using this.

The cleanser is nice and mild, doesn't hurt. The toner feels fresh and clean, but you can tell it's really working. The Lotions BURNS! its not even a lotion, it's a time released benzoyl peroxide cream, therefore, your face never really gets moisturized. When I put the lotion on my face, it instantly hurt. Within 15 minutes my cheeks were red and inflammed. This is a product that you should not use if you have mild/moderate acne. It is made of cheap chemicals that basically take the easy, unhealthy route to clearing your skin. However, the spot treatement works miracles, I put it on at night and it takes away the swelling and redness. I only used this product for about a week and a half, day and night (as directed on box). Be careful of scarring.
