Pros:

I have just bought freederm this morning, and after a couple of hours, inflamation has gone down.

I have just bought freederm this morning, and after a couple of hours, inflamation has gone down. It was a bit pricy( £9), but on the whole it has already made my skin look much better and it was well worth the money! :DDD

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:

Invisible - no residue after a few minutes, so no problems with makeup. Tones down redness unbelieveably... Well, not unbelieveably exactly, not quite that quick, but compared to all the other products I've used, pretty darned quick.

Cons:

EXPENSIVE! Nasty fatcat drug companies cashing in on the misery of others, as per.

It works. It is not a miracle cure exactly. I started using it a week ago as I have a horrible breakout on my neck. No, they have not disappeared by any stretch of the imagination, but they do look better, even to me. Seems to work better on my face? Does that make sense? Probably not. I had a huge red bump under my eye, which due to fiddling okay, okay, picking, became infected and was just a hideous mess. Well, that's nearly gone, after just a week - just a little red dot whereas I'd expected a scar, and that is pretty impressive. I'd also 'fiddled' with masses of whiteheads on my cheeks today, left my skin clear, then applied freederm tonight. Four hours on almost all of the redness has gone, which is extremely impressive. The breakout on my neck is not faring so well, but I do have a tendancy to keep prodding every five minutes to see whether they've gone down, and I doubt very much it's helping. I'll cross my fingers and sit on my hands. Otherwise, this stuff is fab.

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:

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:

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!
