Pros:

Works well at reducing spot size and redness. Didn't cause any reaction with my skin like rashes etc. Clinically proven unlike many treatments on the market.

Cons:

Quite pricey but worth a try nonetheless.

People who criticise this say it doesn't clear their acne. IT IS NOT MEANT TO CLEAR ACNE, this is simply an anti-inflammatory which helps reduce the appearance of acne. If you suffer mild acne its worth the money. The product did do exactly what it says it will do on the packaging for me - reduce inflammation. The fact that its medically tested helps as well. On the bottom of the box you will see PL 0173/0166. The PL stands for product licence and means that the product has been proven to work under medical examination. Many treatments such as Clearasil rapid action treatment cream do not have a PL, hence the products claims are dubious. I do still get spots, but freederm means they disappear within 1-2 days and the size of them is significantly reduced. Because I want to prevent the spots coming up in the first place I'm going to test out the old BP 2.5% for a while and see how it compares. But overall I would recommend you try it. For around £7-8 its worth a punt.

Pros:

Helps fade scaring and dries out whiteheads. You can get it prescribed to you via a doctor or over the counter at a pharmacy under the name of Nicam Gel, you get ALOT which lasts for months if you do it this way.

Cons:

Can dry out skin but you should always moisturise so this shouldn't happen often. Causes a puritis process where you skin will get terrible but this is part of the cleansing process and means all the manky stuff in your skin is being pulled out

I've used this product on and off for about a year and it does work when used as a combination treatment. At present I am taking 300mg of Trimethopim (Morning and night) and using Clean & Clear facial wash and Aderma moisturiser in the morning. On the evening I used Clean & Clear facial wash with a thin layer of Suedocrem (I mean THIN, like a small pea sized dot on both cheeks and forehead is enough) and then a layer of Nicam gel on the most affected areas - DO NOT APPLY ALL OVER THE FACE OR AFFECTED AREA BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT! You may find you break out alot more in the first few weeks but this is because all the impurities in your skin are being drawn out and it won't matter what treatment you use if it is working you will break out intially in the first 2 weeks, if it progressively gets worse then obviously stop treatment but give it at least 6 weeks. Also if you have severe acne scarring then I suggest buying a Aderma Zinc cream which soothes and calms infected areas.

Pros:

Very effective on moderate to strong acne

Cons:

You need to give it some time, and at first it encourages small whiteheads. Does dry skin a little.

I have been using this cream for about three months. I am 28 and have had acne since being a teenager. In the last year or so it had got much worse, so that I was scared of leaving the house. I started using Freederm three months ago and decided to give it some time to work. At first, it encouraged small whiteheads but these were hardly noticeable and in no way as bad as the acne itself. Now, three months later, and I can leave the house without any makeup at all! It is incredible! I still have a couple of spots, but they are small, dry and a much closer colour to my skin tone. I have tried a huge range of prescription and non-prescription treatments over the years. This is the first and only one to have worked! It's amazing! There is a mild fragrance but it is not as bad as most prescription creams I have used. It causes a little drying, but you can use moisturiser alongside. You can also wear makeup with it.

Pros:

The first time i used it it cleared up all my spots and pimples and made me more confident and happy. But recently i hav broke out in quite a few spots and i tried using freederm gel again but it hasnt made a difference. Which was dissapointment.

Cons:

It does flake off skin after a while but that may be because i apply loads on. The tube is tiny for a expensive product.

I thought i found a cream that would finally help my skin after soo long and it did but the next time i had a breakout it hasnt seemed to help atall. So am really disapointed.

Pros:

Easy to apply and not too harsh. Effective on mild acne. Alot of people sell packets cheap together on Ebay from Ebay shops.

Cons:

Does not clear up more severe acne effectively and is not as amazing as they may advertise.

Great if you have mild acne and need to clear up redness and a few spots without harsh skin products.

Pros:

Freederm really helped the acne on my jawline better than any other product. It is easy to apply

Cons:

Doesn't help really stubborn spots. Expensive.

I only use it at night and it really helped clear up a lot of my acne. It hasn't helped with the really stubborn spots. It has also shrunk the red marks left by spots. It worked a miracle on my forehead and it doesn't dry out the skin at all. Give it a try
