Pros:

Doesn't bleach fabrics like bp products or dry out skin. can be worn under makeup.

Cons:

Broke me out in cystic acne - I would urge people not to use this product.

I had high hopes for this product and really wanted it to work as I was sick of bleaching my clothes etc with bp products and was looking for something to maintain my skin which could be used under makeup. This broke me out terribly. I had 14 large cystic pimples on my face which couldn't be covered with make-up. I thought perhaps it was a purge but it wasn't and I now have scars where the cysts were. I realise that different things work for different people but please don't continue with this if it starts to break you out. I used this consistently for over three months.

Pros:

spot size went down in a matter of hours

expensive

I only purchased this product today after i went into a big depressive about my face. I got home and put a thin layer on each spot and the redness and size have already gone down, I'm really impressed

Pros:

It's a clear gel, really easy to use. I have INCREDIBLY sensitive skin and I've had no reactions in the two years I've used it. It really reduces the size and redness of any spots I do get, and it's reduced them down to just a couple before my period

Cons:

I do still get the odd spot, but only in the few days before my period (show doesn't?) and they're normally small and go away in a day or so.

I had pretty bad skin before I began using this and had tried pretty much everything in the eight years or so since they started. Freederm is the most effective thing I've tried. You just have to be patient. That goes for everything by the way... be sure to give it enough time (like a couple of months) to actually work! I used to chop and change all the time and I'm sure it made it worse.

Pros:

Reduced redness quickly
Cheap

Cons:

Didn't clear up spots or acne scars

I had high hopes for this product, as it had been advertised so much, but it didn't do much. It did reduce redness rapidly and it is inexpensive but it didn't clear up my acne at all. Kinda disappointed. It might work for other people so give it a go.

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:

Works! No spots. Doesnt just get rid of them, stops them coming back too!

Cons:

None. For people saying it leaves white flakes and a film its because you have used too much. You only need a thin layer.

Ive been spot free for the first time in about 10 years!! Nothing else worked for me especially the so called magic creams which make no sense as cream is grease and grease causes spots! Anyway its worth the money as the tube lasts a while and if it gets rid of my spots then im happy! Also ive never paid as much as £9 for it. Usually about £7 from the chemist.

Pros:

No burning sensation

Cons:

A bit sticky

I've got moderate adult acne and I've tried all kinds of "anti-blemish" creams on the market because I wanted to avoid the flaking and bleached linen associated with anti-acne creams. I finally decided on Freederm because it is said to be suitable for sensitive skin and doesn't attempt to rip your whole face off with chemicals. I've used it for a couple of days and so far my massive pimples are still there, although they're not half as red and sore anymore. Although I doubt it would work for everybody, I think it's worth a try if you don't want scaly skin. I'll let you know how it's working in a couple of weeks.

Pros:

cant think of any...

Cons:

expensive, not effective

saw all the adverts and bought this expensive product. used it and noticed no difference. the spots came up and healed no quicker with it. i think its a waste of money. there are so much better prescription meds on the market that are cheaper and that give results. please dont be fooled. save your money! it might help very mild acne..but its just not worth it considering the price tag.

Pros:

seems to work well

Cons:

initially game me a breakout of small whiteheads

appears to work well. I had a cyst on my cheek that is significantly better after 4 weeks of using it. Has cleared up all the small black heads and whiteheads everywhere else. I dont know what some people are complaining about it being expensive, IT WORKS. Is £8 reeally somthing to worry about when you have a spot free face.
