Pros:

Sadly, none.

Cons:

I hate giving negative reviews, but I feel as though I need to say something about this...

I have hormonal acne and I break out monthly when I start PMSing. I woke up three days ago to a new breakout on my right cheek near my mouth and resorted to AcneFree to help dry it out (my mom had purchased the product a couple months back but it hadn't ever been used). I used it for two days and I noticed my break-out had slightly worsened and my skin was quite red, and I woke up this morning to find that my entire chin area and forehead had broken out in a huge, inflamed RASH. I immediately threw the system in the trash and returned to my normal skin-care routine (consisting of only organic products). I applied Extra Virgin Olive Oil to my entire face and it immediately helped with inflammation and my rash is now 50% gone. Congratulations to all who had success with this product...but for those with sensitive skin like me, I highly recommend you consider using this product.

Pros:

Clears acne up.

Cons:

Dries around the mouth, but with a little moisturizer you're good to go. Need a little patience.

So basically, I used to get the occasional pimples once a while and then last year, I had no idea what happened and I just started breaking out like crazy. I first starting using Clean&Clear, St. Ives, Proactive, etc. Nothing worked. All it did was make my pimples worse and became all red and dry. Then couple months ago I started using this product. My acne is now cleared up! I used it everyday. Morning & Night time. It does get dry around the mouth area and where ever you have acne but if you put a little amount of moisturizer, it's all good to go. (:

Pros:

*did help clear my some acne pretty good
*lotion helped overnight
*BP effective

Cons:

*not sure about the toner, didnt notice any change because of it
*dries out skin pretty bad and causes alot of redness
*wierd smell
*a little overpriced

well honestly i feel like if you use the three step process correctly it will help your acne but there's a price to pay and thats very red and dry skin, none the less it really helps acne, I would recommend only at night and little application the first few days so your skin can adapt to the harsh chemicals

Pros:

Easy system
Worked very well at first
Moisturizer heals very well
Relatively inexpensive

Cons:

Does not necessarily kept skin completely free of acne over time
Dryness may occur
Moisturizer made skin oily (for me at least)

I have been using this product for the past maybe 2 years to fight my never ending acne battle. I was actually a very faithful customer simply because it was cheap, it worked very well at first and it kept my acne from flaring up. The toner was nice and although the moisturizer made my already oily skin even oilier, it cleared blemishes and scars very well. However, like with all acne products, it has its own negatives. Over the months, it feels as though my skin became so dependent on it that even a missed day would result in massive volcano eruptions on my face. Okay, maybe that last sentence was a bit melodramatic but bottom line, It was like a drug for my skin. I recently stopped using it because I was tired of feeling as though my skin will never be completely free and because of the constant shine and oil on my skin. Okay, enough of my ramblings. The true bottom line is, if you're looking for a quick fix, get this. It works very well at first and it heals past scars! However, if you're looking for something long term, avoid simply because it will lose its effectiveness over time. Thus, I just recently switched to Dan's regimen. Hopefully, the regimen will be like my secret weapon in this never-ending battle.... Like a holy sword of light or something.... Sorry... That last line was kinda random... - Sana

Pros:

Reduced acne
Cheap

Cons:

Dried skin
Didn't clear completely

While this stuff worked better than most products it still didn't work great. If you have mild acne or possibly moderate it might work but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

AcneFree wash, toner and mask are very gentle. Immediate Redness Relief. Cleared up my skin almost completely in the less than a week washing twice a day. I used nothing else besides acnefree!

Cons:

Absolutely NOTHING!

I have used EVERYTHING, i mean EVERYTHING! Proactive, stridex, clean and clear, neutrogena, dermatologist prescribed everything. NOTHING HELPED! I've had acne for seven years, ive spent thousands of dollars, literally on face stuff. It got so bad i was truant from school because my face was so embarassing. People would comment on it all the time. Ive been using this product for less than one week, and im so happy i could cry, literally. From less than a week ago i had over 40! acne spots, red inflamed, pussy, gross acne. I decided to try acne free, the regular kind to hope it would work. What can i say?... I wasnt' going to quit trying anything until i would hopefully find something that would work. IN less than one week my face has less than 4 spots left on it. Seriously, 4, when i had over fourty (not joking) in less than a week. Nothing has ever helped my face like this, and didn't make it red at all, (proactive lotion irritated my face to hell, looked like an alligator) and acnefree was perfect. I have never been happier in my life! Acnefree is truely an amzing product! I am so grateful to finally have acnefree skin and i can go without makeup!! For the first time ever and still feel beautiful! My face is glowing and i feel beautiful. I love this product! It is my LIFE SAVER! I have never felt so beautiful or grateful in my life! If this product cost 1,000 dollars, i would still buy it, honestly. Being this confident and happy with the results is completely priceless! I also had TOUGH ACNE! I mean, i had moderately severe and i just used the regular kit! Worked perfect! I AM SO HAPPY! Please try this product if your running out of hope! It may be your lifeline, just like it was mine!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU ACNEFREE!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

cleanser is rich and creamy; you can feel it penetrating your pores
toner is soothing and helps balance your skin and nourish it
lotion completely stops excess facial oil and balances skin for 24 hours
system uses benzoyl peroxide in cleaner and lotion
cleanser has mild exfoliating properties

Cons:

system does not effectively battle blackheads - they dry up but still require manual removal
moisturizer needs to be used with system to prevent skin irritation, dryness, and peeling which is not included with the system as is
lotion needs to be bigger size - it takes just as much lotion in one treatment as it does cleanser, but the bottle of cleanser is twice as big as the lotion bottle
weekly exfoliation is still required to help get rid of the dead skin cells from the benzoyl peroxid

This is a great system and it really works if you use a moisturizer and sunscreen with the system and exfoliate on a regular basis. The lotion is genius - it keeps my skin balanced all day long so it's never oily or dry but just right, and I live in FL where it's almost always hot and humid.

Pros:

No more breakouts
Clears red marks from previous pimples
Cheap
Has worked for me the last 6 years

Cons:

Skin will burn easily in the sun
Bleaches your washcloth

I tried a few products in middle school on my moderate acne, but they never really worked. In 8th grade I found AcneFree and it has worked ever since. I am now a sophmore in college and have switched from the three step program to just using the first step, the cleanser, once a day. I just get a few random pimples every now and again. It did take about a month before my skin got used to it and the medication started to show strong results. A few months later all of the red marks from my previous acne were gone. Since I started using it, my friends have always complemented me on my clear complexion. I don't think it will work for all skin types but it did work for me. I have mildly oily skin. I do have to make sure I wear sunscreen when I'm outside because the benzoyl peroxide makes skin very sensitive to the sun and burns easily. It has also bleached a few washclothes, which I have designated as my face washing washclothes now. I would recomend this product to anyone, but make sure you try it for at least 3 months before you give up on it. If it iritates your skin, just use step 1 (especially cut out the toner) and use it once a day or every other day.

None

I've only been using this product for a small number of days, but i LOVE IT. I noticed the first time I used it that the cleanser was actually cleaning my skin, and the toner made my skin feel great and energized.
