Pros:

Everything about it is a pro!

Cons:

No cons!

I have acne that only affects the middle of my forehead. It starts off with one very painful lump which then turns to a puss filled lump which leaves a red scar for months and months. Since using this gel, the lumps have almost disappeared and the red scarring is now a lovely flesh coloured pink. The best thing I have ever used!

Pros:

I have been using the cream for a year and it's the best acne treatment I have ever used. I have or had small spots underneath the skin as well as on top of skin but once I started using Freederm, they all cleared up. I now use the wash too. Fab.

Cons:

Absolutely none, the price is so worth having clear skin.

I have been on Roaccutane twice and as excellent as it was, being a female the spots returned but with a month of using freederm, they cleared up. If I don't use it for a week, they start to reappear and then within a few days, the spots are gone. It feels good on the skin. I now use it along with the wash and for the first time in years, my skin feels smooth. I have tried every cream, lotion and pills possible and my skin has been through every phase from greasy to dry from combination to sensitive and only using Freederm on a continuous basis has my skin cleared up. You have to give it a month but even after a week, you see results.

Freederm Review
I have found Freederm gel amazing. I will not use any other acne cream/gel on my skin. The face wash, however, seems ineffective; or, at least, no better or worse than a generic, cheaper face wash. I think the gel works best on cystic acne that is close to the skin, rather than buried deep underneath it, and best if you've just washed your face and there is no oil present.

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:

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:

I bought Freederm Gel @ the weekend from Boots, I have so far noticed a massive improvement, I'm 22 and Have suffered with bad ache since I was a teen, I have to say i am IMPRESSED, I've gone to work with no make up on today! :-O

Cons:

Make sure you wash it off fully in the morning as the gel goes like a film.

So far, immensley pleased with this product, I would of never come to work with no make up on and I've been able to do that. I've suffered to the past couple of weeks with underlying red sports, that I have not been able to get rid of. I've noticed that they are not as red and sore. I've tried everything over the years from my Doctors and never really thought of Freederm. I hope it continues to work and that I'm able to go make up free more often! I paid £4.99 for the product from Boots, which is worth it for a acne free face! I also have Phoriasis patches on my face and I have found that the freederm has not irrirated or made my phoriasis flare up in any way! Very pleased.

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!!!
