Great for sport treating and reducing inflammation quickly

Pros:

Reduces inflammation
Good for spot treating
Gentle and doesn't cause irritation

Cons:

Doesn't work as a long-term treatment
Does nothing for severe acne
Contains alcohol

This is a great little gel for spot treating and quickly reducing inflamed spots and redness because it contains 4% nicotinamide which is an anti-inflammatory. But I found it no good for long term treatment and it definitely can't do much when your acne is severe, although to be fair it is only advertised as for the treatment for mild to moderate inflamed acne. If you want something as a quick fix for mild/moderate spots this can help you out in a sticky situation but I wouldn't recommend it as a long-term treatment plan or for severe acne. I also didn't like the fact that it contains alcohol because that made it unnecessarily drying but it definitely doesn't cause the irritation issues you get with things like benzoyl peroxide and in comparison is very gentle. Worth a try for some!

Pros:

Cleared spots and scars after using for about a week.

Cons:

Costs alot for just a small tube.

I had seen alot of commercials for this product so i thought i would try it as i get spots alot. It didnt work at first, it even made my skin worse infact, but after about a week i kept using it hoping it would work, and it did! its made my skin a whole lot better and i totally recommend it, this is the only spot treatment that actually worked for me!

Pros:

*can stop large, sore spots appearing
*easy application

Cons:

*leaves a white mark which is very unattractive
*doesnt work very well on small spots
*can make even more spots break out
*expensive for the tiny amount per tube
*stings like crazy if you have just picked a spot
*causes spots to become "crusty" and harder to cover with makeup

This product, although it has lots of cons, does work on some spots so i recommend giving it a try!

Pros:

not had it very long but has reduced the itching of my acne and is also quite soothing

Cons:

the amount you pay for such small amount of freederm gel

It is a good product i think but everyone's skin type is different so it may or may not work for you personaly but it did for me and I would recommend it

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:

It was not coloured and didnt show on. didnt have any other pros.

Cons:

for me, it didnt work at all. it didnt get rid of any of my spots and just left a hole in my pocket after paying a fortune for something that doesnt even work

it wasnt worth the money at all. i found using dove soap more effective!

Pros:

It seems to reduce inflammation on single spots, especially underlying red ones, and help them heal a bit quicker.

Cons:

If i spread a film over an area it frequently causes small whiteheads to appear in that area in a very short space of time ie a day or less. Another reviewer has had same problem I notice.

Because of said whitehead problem, I only apply to single, angry spots where it can help them calm down a heal a bit faster. I don't use it to prevent spots, as I certain it actually causes whiteheads when I apply to healthy skin!
