Pros:

skin feels clean and smooth

Cons:

increased breakouts
redness
drying
flaking
burning
step 3 clashes with wearing makeup

I bought this product because I am tired of acne breakouts. I have tried Proactiv in the past, and that did work but I couldn't afford that product anymore. I purchased this product about 10 days ago and have been doing the full regimen once a day for about 10 days. My face has never been more broken out than this! I keep at it every morning faithfully hoping that the new breakouts are just the result of this product "getting rid" of the hidden bacteria/ acne in my face--thank goodness I don't use it twice a day as it recommends. My skin is dry and around my eyes (as crazy as this may sound) seems so dry that I feel as if it is aging me! Maybe I am using to too close to my eyes.... The repair lotion leaves a thick residue that shows up through your foundation, and the nighttime cream is thickand hard to spread evenly over your face. I will keep at it for another few days, but if no clearing by then, I can't promise much more. I was expecting clearer skin--not worse skin.

Absolutely amazing! MUST TRY
I tried this on a whim while browsing in Target. I've tried many different acne products before, but none of them gave me great results. I used the face wash spot treatment and toner before I went to sleep, and when I woke up all the redness was gone and I already saw huge improvement. After a week of using all 3 products once a day , my face was 95 % clear. I even got comments on how clear my face was . The products itself last pretty long, I would use all 3 products daily at first and then I would just use the spot treatment daily and the toner and face wash every other day, this lasted me about 3-4 months. I know this totally sounds like one of those cheesy commercials but it genuinely worked for me! It's pretty cheap too, I definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Hope this works for you like it did for me !

Pros:

started clearin my skin in about a week or so
not SUPER expensve
skin feels nice after using it

Cons:

I don't like the benzoyl peroxide it comes with

this has really, really, really helped my skin. It worked faster then I thought, and I love the face wash it comes with my skin feels so nice after I use it. I use the toner every so often when I remember, but I wash twice a day and I've really noticed a difference. I really don't like the benzoyl peroxide it came with, so I just bought the benzoyl peroxide you can buy seperetly, the one it came with is a cream, the other one (the one I use is a gel)

Pros:

makes my skin so soft and smooth, have this glow look, feels good, clears acne/pimples

Cons:

none

I have had tried everything to get rid of my acne, especially the ones on my forehead. i tried from, neutrogena acne kit, clearasil, neutrogena acne wash, olay wash, to even going to see the doctor and nothing works! i wasn't seeing results because it wasn't helping me clearing acne. it made my face dried. so i decided to research some products and i came across this 'acne free' since it said it was better than proactiv. so i gave it a try adn within days, i started seeing results. actually results! it made my skin so smooth and i never experiences dryness. within days of using it as instructed, my acne started to disappear. this is what i call a acne wash miracle! love it! i will buy this forever and ever.!

Pros:

Fast Results
Skin looks 10x clearer within just 7 days of using the product
Can be found at Wal-Mart
Cheap

Cons:

Dries out skin a little.. but who cares i finally have ckear skin!

i have always struggled a bit with acne but when i turned 20 it was like my face just exploded, my forehead was a war zone. I was so embaressed about it, i felt it started to affect my confidence which in turn affected my personality and happiness. I tried EVERYTHING, my face washing regime was done morning and night religiously. i used neutrogena acne stress control (which worked ok), olay toner, and olay moisturizer and then prescription spot treatment but it never fully cleared my face. I was using masks, was on birth control and even drastically changed my diet but still nothing I would still have about 8+ pimples on my face at all times. When i bought this product i started seeing results OVERNIGHT i actually felt like I was going to cry by the 7th day when i literally had 0 pimples on my face (just a few scars). This product does some drying of the face but honestly if you are struggling with acne like I had then you will not care at all because you will have clear skin AT LAST. i felt the need to write this blog because i used to read these all the time trying to find a solution. this product has 3 types, sensitive skin, regular, and severe. I have been using regular but it all depends on your own skin. If you feel like you have tried everything DO NOT GIVE UP, TRY THIS PRODUCT and use it right..follow all the steps. Take my advice seriously and good luck!

Pros:

If you have sensitive skin like I do, buy the Acne-Free Sensitive. It has cleared up my skin better than anything, and I've tried Pro-Activ, Clearasil, Clean & Clear and all kinds of cleansers and scrubs. This is the best one!

Cons:

It will dry out the delicate skin under your eyes if you get some of the Corrective Cleanser on it, but if you use a little more of the pH Balancing Moisturizer it helps.

The Cleanser has Tea Tree oil in it, which makes it feel good when you rub it on your skin. I love this product and plan on buying it again!

Pros:

Price was inexpensive; paid 21.99

Cons:

Severe allergic reaction

Do not like this product. Used first evening and next morning. Face became extremely red, itchy, splotchy red patches, tingly, swollen cheeks just under soft eye pads and eyes swelled almost shut (from histamine response, as I did not use it on my eyes.) Never had any reactions to benzoyl perioxide before. Had to take benadryl which helped. Just glad I didn't have to go to hospital for shot of epinephrine.

Pros:

really does clear up skin
skin is super soft, glowing, beautiful
toner is moisturizing
REPAIRING LOTION is the key to clear skin!
Only thing that has EVER worked for me and it works amazingly!
Absolutely no pimples at all after the first few months of use!
Worth the money and more
Give it a full two months before you discontinue. It WILL work and at the end of two months youll be so happy you stuck it out.

Cons:

can cause some irritation but there are ways around that
the fash wash is too harsh and unecessary

I've been using this for about two years. After the first few months, my skin was the best that it has looked since I was about 10. (Im 26 now) Around the beginning of this year I went through a tough breakup and all of a sudden my skin started getting really red and itchy. Especially around my eyes. I switched toners and moisturizers but I kept using the repairing lotion. Finally I figured out that it was the repairing lotion that was causing the irritation. I stopped using it and within 2 weeks I broke out horribly just like before I started using Acnefree. It was horrible but I think I had developed an allergy. Tried other products and nothing worked so I went back to Acnefree. Here is the key when it is causing irritation: use it sparingly and let your skin get used to it which it should after a week or two. Spot treat for a few days. After about a week, start using a small amount on the on the t-zone but nowhere else. When you no longer have irritation (about two weeks for me) start using it on the entire face. A thin layer works amazingly. Don't over do it or spread it on too thick. Ive only developed an irritation once but overcame that. And Ive been using it for a little longer that two years. I actually have people compliment me on my glowing skin. ALL THE TIME! And these are people that never saw me with acne! Very very worth the money!! I have sooo much more confidence and I don't have to wear makeup every day. Oh and use a toner with alpha hydroxy! Works well with the BP. I used Neutrogena Pore Refining toner followed my the Acnefree Renewing toner and then the Repairing lotion. The face wash has never done anything for me. It may work for you but I think its too harsh and not really necessary. Make sure you use it twice a day for AT LEAST two months. My skin was completely under control after that time period. Best product I've ever used handsdown!! I know its hard to believe when youve struggled for so long but just give it a chance. W

Pros:

Cleared up my skin
Leaves skin fresh and clean

Cons:

Dried out a bit, but use moisturizer.

For those who say this product has stopped 'working,' maybe you need to cut back on using it day AND night, and only use it at night time. Usually when I have a breakout, I use the face wash 2 times a day, and once it begins to clear up, I use Acnefree at NIGHT only since it's strong enough to take off my makeup, and I use cetaphil/something gentler in the morning. It totally works, and sometimes you just need to switch up the routine a bit in order for it to start working again. And since this product dries up your skin, sometimes that leads to MORE breakouts since your skin is overproducing oil...which is why I recommend using something more gentle in the morning. Another good tip is to moisturize! Trust me, I'm a licensed cosmetologist where my work ranges from hair to skin!

-got rid of my acne scars

Cons:

-it makes your skin REALLY dry

It worked amazingly, however if you do use it, i reccomend using moisturizer on your skin as well because it dries out your skin really badly. however, it was great at getting rid of acne and preventing it.
