Pros:

Absolutely NONE

Cons:

Expensive
Brought Me Out in More Spots

I don't actually have acne, More so troublesome breakouts that seem to cluster around my chin or temples when I'm due on my period. I had previously used Quinoderm, but found it too thick and stingy just for the odd breakout, So I decided to try Freederm. BIG MISTAKE!! Expensive, Left my face Crusty all day, and to make matters worse, It brought out even more spots which took almost 2 weeks to control and get rid of, Thanks to SUDOCREM! My skin is almost perfect, so I can tell when a Product is terrible, and Freederm is no good for me at all. I wouldn't recommend it for anybody who DOESN'T Suffer from Acne. It Just brings out more spots. Boo hoo!

Pros:

*reduces the sizes of spots
*works fast

Cons:

*makes spots harder to cover with make-up
*leaves a white mark
*stings a little
*leaves scars

I used this product, and at first i thought 'great! something that works' but after a few days of using it i noticed that my spots were still there, although they had decreased in size, they were still there, i stopped using it and haven't used it for 3 months and where i used the product it has left scars. The product isnt very good value for money, im from the u.k and mine cost me around £8.99 for the small little tube. I wouldnt reccomend this as there are better treatments available that wont leave permenant scarring.

An expensive scam of the freederm ''Team''

Pros:

dries quickly so you can put it on before bed and it wont smudge all over your bed sheets.

Cons:

made my skin much much worse and i developed some more spots because of it.

all in all, i dont think this helps. it was quite expensive and i expected it to be miracle cream but its far from it. i'd reccomend "sudocrem" to dry up spots. it works amazingly.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Crap. Didn't not work for me at all. Very disappointed. =

Wasted my £10.00! It may work for you , but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

None, a bit disappointing after all the hype.

Cons:

Heafty price, apart from that i dont have sensitive skin so it didnt cause any redness, flaking or whatever.

Another dud treatment that is as effective as voodoo magic.

Pros:

I've only been using it a few days, so as of yet, there seem to be no pros to add. If it's purpose is to bring out every impuirty in your skin as a whitehead, then it's doing a good job.

Cons:

Has inflamed my skin terribly, and caused whiteheads to appear everywhere. Some have said this is the purity process, but it does not encourage me to continue using it if my skin is going to look terrible for the next few weeks.

Maybe I'm having a bad reaction, but I'm inclined to continue using it, as others have warned about "initial breakouts" when using the product. I've had severe acne throughout my entire adolescent life, and I'm now 22 and looking for something to put a stop to this social hinderance that burdens me every day of my life. I'm a guy, so I can't just cover up the problem with make-up, so this "purity process" is going to be difficult to handle. I'm going to stick with it, and I'll post again in a few weeks with my evaluation of the product.

Pros:

It is easy to apply

Cons:

It drys out the skin! if anything it made my skin worse, caused more white heads and the spots seemed to spread more across my face..

I have only recently had acne, Im 17 and all my life I have only ever had the odd spot, so you can imagine how upset I became when my skin came out with acne, I have becom so insecure about it. My chemist suggested using Freederm gel, I have been using it twice a day for about a week and have seen now difference and as I said it even made it worse. I do not recommend this product as its about £7 and a rip off! especially if you have sensitive skin.
