Pros:

Non-irritating, helps to reduce inflammation.

Cons:

Sometimes leaves a white film.

I have moderate inflammatory acne, and am Asian. My biggest worry is not my acne itself, but rather the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). A spot lasts a week, but the marks last a year! I am happy to say that Freederm helped to reduce the redness of my spots, and the PIH marks are less nitcable than what they would usually be. I wouldn't tout this as an acne cure, it didn't magically shrink spots, but it did help with the inflammation.

Pros:

It works very on my mild acne and doesn't irritate or dry the skin.

Cons:

It's not as effective as BP or antibiotics. I still get spots

EFFECTIVENESS - It's cleared my mild adult acne almost completely. - On a daily basis I have no spots. I occasionally got the odd spot turn up but these disappear quicker. TIMESCALES - It took 3 months before this really started working well. - I've seen reviews that say it worked in 1 week. I saw no effect after 1 week so I stopped using. I then tried it again months later because I liked it for other reasons. APPLYING THE GEL - I put a tiny amount. It rubs in after 1-2 seconds. I don't moisturise where I apply it because the skin doesn't dry.

Pros:

Has a soothing effect on spots, no side effects, no bleaching or drying of skin

Cons:

Not particularly effective, a little expensive

I suffer with adult acne on my chin and jawline which started at the age of 25. My spots are mainly inflammed which Freederm is supposed to work on. I found that it did reduce the redness to some extent although only temporarily, they would become red again within a few hours. I think it may have cleared the spots up slightly quicker than normal although nothing worth getting too excited about. It doesn't prevent new ones from appearing either.

Pros:

It hasnt made my acne any worse:-)some treatment have made my face red and sore straight after using. I have suffered with acne for years and am hoping this is the one!

Cons:

Its sooooo expensive, however its not supposed to stain the bed sheets like quinoderm so it will work out cheaper in the long run:-)

Im gonna try it now for the rest of the week along with my new oil free foundation that I have invested in. I will definatley come back and rate this product again. If you have all white bedding/clothes/towels I do recommend quinoderm to all you that have not tried, it doesnt work any more on me and I cant afford to keep replacing my stuff! Will score again after a week.

I have started to use freederm gel and i find it quite similar to benzoyl peroxide as it dries out your skin in the same red raw way which is not a good look, however, i find it does reduce some spots. I found that the best treatment for acne was dianet pill (made my skin flawless never got ne spots!) but it did make me gain weight over a long period of time so iv had to try out other treatments!

Pros:

No bleaching, not that expensive when bought in form of Nicam gel for 60g was 21 EURO instead of Freederm 25g

Cons:

Have to say unlike others it made my skin dry - but just used moituriser and it was fine!

Havebeen using nicam gel which is the same as freederm,it is non marketed and made by the same manufacturer - so if your using long term id say buy it behind the pharmacy counter in Boots!much cheaper! I found this stuff brilliant - it made my face totally clear for the first time in years! i used it to maintain clear skin after a course of antibiotics and found it worked wonders - my skin never got totally clear from antibiotics but this made it totally clear. My ance was described as mild adult acne by the way - i noticed it from the reviews- it appeared to work for othes with same thing maybe not as good for really agressive teenage acne but id still give it a try! So much better than BP - bleaching is a joke!!!
