Acne Free 3 Step 24 Hour Acne Treatment Kit - Clearing System w Oil Free Acne Cleanser, Witch Hazel Toner, & Oil Free Acne Lotion - Acne Solution w/Benzoyl Peroxide for Teens and Adults - Original

I'm in my 60's and have been using this product for about 10years now. It's fantastic. I have always had an oily breakout prone complexion since my teens so I have tried many different regimens, some were the quite expensive, cosmedical stuff. When I hit my 50s physiological changes were chaos on my face and the expensive stuff wasn't cutting it for me. I saw this very affordable (!!!) product at the store and tried it. Right away a big difference and my skin felt calm again. Never going back to spendy skincare. The only other thing I do besides this product is use hyaluronic acid every day under the lotion and sometimes an eye cream or facial gua sha oil. I get many compliments on my skin from dermatologists (and others) and they ask me what I'm using and I tell them that I use this stuff, lol.

I’ve been using these products for awhile now and it’s really made the difference. I wouldn’t recommend this product to someone with dry or super sensitive skin, but it definitely wouldn’t cause any problems when used occasionally. I’ve found it to be drying when used regularly, especially the lotion, but it does wonders alone. Using a moisturizing face lotion along with these products has worked perfectly for me and has not dried out my skin. This routine has cleared up 99.9% of my acne, but I have noticed that you do have to keep up with it to maintain clear skin. These products are also non-scented, which is great for someone with sensitive skin and just your face in general. I use this along with spot treatment and my skin has never looked better! Not to mention these products are also fast-acting, giving results overnight unlike many other acne products that require months worth of use. Worth more than what you’re paying for! Reading through other reviews, this product is definitely controversial and not for everyone. The active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, which can explain why it has given different people different reactions. If someone has never used benzoyl peroxide on their skin it can be very intense and it’s definitely capable of making your skin worse. If you use this product with no previous acne medication use or apply these products too often it can easily cause burns, irritation, or rashes. These side effects are common, it’s just your skin telling you the medication is too strong and harsh. When buying acne medication, the best thing you can do is research and patch tests. This way you will be able to find what works best for you. Salicylic acid is another active ingredient used in acne products that could also give someone the same bad reaction. Most of the time these reactions happen either because you’re skin is not familiar with these products or just not susceptible to the specific medication. I’ve had a past with both benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, coming to a conclusion benzoyl peroxide is best for my skin. That is not the case for others though, everyone’s skin is different and the same product will work differently on different people with different skin types. The average percentage to start on benzoyl peroxide is 2.5%. The acne lotion contains 3.7% which can be damaging and drying if you do not slowly ease into it or if your skin is not familiar with benzoyl peroxide and this percentage. Some that have come across issues used these products daily, even twice a day. This will easily harm your skin just because of how intensifying it is. Even though this is not a prescription drug and is available to anyone, it is definitely not made for everyone and can be extreme and harsh. A moisturizing face lotion is your best friend while using these products because they are drying and will absorb your natural oils, even for someone that does not have dry skin. I would definitely recommend to ease into these products and determine what is best for your individual skin for the best results. I do not believe this is a good product for first-time acne medication users just because of the strength. This product is definitely best for someone that knows their skin and has knowledge about acne medication and how it’s used. If this product is used correctly it will show correct results.

Pros: -Cheap -The best acne clearing system I have every tried -Not too harsh Cons: -really hard to find in Canada I'm a guy and I've had pretty bad acne since I was 9 and I had tried everything to try to get rid of it. I used different cleansers and creams with Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic acid from tons of different brands, and none of them did anything. While on vacation I couldn't find my normal brand so I decided for $14 I should try it. I really didn't have any hope for this when I bought it, I just needed something which would try to prevent more acne and this was the cheapest form of Benzoyl Peroxide available. Boy was I surprised when most of my acne disappeared in the next 2 weeks. I thought that my hormones may have re balanced or maybe it was the different atmosphere in California. I completely overlooked Acnefree as the solution to my problem and promptly stopped using it. And my acne came back. By this time I returned back to Canada and I could not find Acnefree anywhere in stores, but thankfully it was available on amazon.com and they just happened to ship to Canada. I have used this for about 2 months now, and most of my acne has cleared. I used to have some acne scars on my cheeks and they are almost none existent now. I really love the toner, I as a guy always thought toners were for girls and I refused to use it until I had to. It is really gentle on the skin and cleans the skin really well, like so well that when I finished using it the cotton pad shows all the extra impurities the cleanser didn't pick up. After I started using the toner every day my face became smoother and smoother. I checked the ingredients on the back and it had an Alpha Hydroxy Acid which is really good at making the skin soft and smooth. After the first couple of days my skin felt more smoother than it had ever been before in my life. Cleanser or repair cream work alright, and have benzoyl peroxide which kills acne bacteria. The cream is twice the size of other brands so it lasts a while and I can use it on my back and chest so its useful.I skipped some days when using this when so my results aren't the best as they could be but still this product blew me away. I will try to use this more regularly and will update if my acne completely disappears.

I switched to this brand from Proactive. It is so much cheaper and works just as well. It’s been a few years now and it’s a good product to use.

I started having adult acne when I turn 25. I am now 34 years old and continue to struggle with different types of acne. I’ve been going to a dermatologist for the past two years who has prescribed me various, expensive creams for my face. These creams have made my face so raw that I could not even put on moisturizer. They never solved my problems or even helped at all. Not to mention all the money I spent on Dr.’s co-pays for the visit and check ups. On a whim, I bought this acne set on Amazon just to try something different. I have extremely sensitive skin so I was skeptical. Within a couple of weeks of using the product both in the morning and at night, my acne completely cleared up. I did see a little bit of sensitivity with my skin in the beginning but it was not overwhelming and definitely manageable. For the past few years I’ve struggled with closed comedones all along my chin and cheek areas that I could never get rid of without having the dermatologist extract them. I am happy to say that all of those have disappeared and they have not come back. I do have an occasional bump But it is nothing like it was before. I would say I’ve been using this acne system for at least two months now and I will continue using it. I’m very satisfied with the price and quality of the product and I am most happy that I’m not embarrassed of the bumps on my face anymore.

So many people have written how this has not made anything better and in fact some people are worse. I just compared for example the acne free repair lotion from this with the last bottle of pro active repair lotion that I have, and in the acne free repair lotion the benzol peroxide is 3.7%, the Proactive it’s only 2.5.%, That was the regular strength proactive, not the gentle kind. So you’re already putting a stronger product on your face so use less of the lotion if you find that it is too drying And is a problem for you. Remember it’s going to take a few days for your pH levels to return to normal and a little drying also is normal, make sure you use some a moisturizer and don’t get any sun on your face or you will get a horrific burn. You should always use sunscreen on your face anyway, if you can find one that you can tolerate every day I’m still looking. I’m in the middle of a very stressful situation and very horrible break out at the moment and I used the whole kit. My skin feels very soft and very clean overall I’m very happy. I’ve said before things can get worse before they get better because this stuff is actually dissolving and pulling the dirt and oil out of your pores, and that’s what the toners is for, to help dissolve and get it out. Then let the repair serum do it’s job overnight. I don’t plan on using this twice a day I’ll try it once a day and see how I react but at the moment it’s working fine for me. I don’t care that there’s no microbeads in the cleanser, like there is in the in the proactive product. I have some very painful areas on my face and not having that scrubbing/stinging feeling was a a relief as it didn’t hurt. The toner made my skin soft has no fragrance to bother me, it didn’t hurt either. Then I used the repair serum. Applying much less than I would usually use if I was using another product because this lotion is stronger like I said. I’m a happy camper.

I haven't had regular acne for a while (since I was a teenager), but recently I had a really bad cystic acne flareup. I'm a pretty low maintenance person so usually I just use a gentle face wash followed up with a moisturizer and sunscreen. That wasn't cutting it with this most recent breakout that was the type of acne that was both painful and prone to scarring. It wasn't going away on its own like it usually does and I had 3-4 really painful ones so I decided to pick up this kit. I do have sensitive skin but I'm not allergic to benzoyl peroxide, which is the active ingredient in this kit. I have used Proactiv in the past but it stopped working for me and I didn't feel like getting caught up in the auto-billing practices from ordering on their main site. I also found Proactiv to be a lot more expensive at other retailers. After Proactiv stopped working for me, I went with a "less is more" approach to my acne and I mostly outgrew it before this most recent breakout. I wanted to see what else was out there and saw that this kit had a lot of positive feedback and wanted to give it a try. General overview of each product in the kit: Cleanser: If you like the beads in the Proactiv cleanser, you probably won't be a fan of this facewash. There is a slight "grit" to it, but nothing like the beads in the Proactiv cleanser. It's pretty drying so I wouldn't use it every day. It left my face with that "squeaky-clean" feeling that feels like I over-washed my face. Definitely use a good moisturizer with this facewash. Toner: Worst product of the bunch. All you can smell is the alcohol. I would either switch it out for a different toner if you really want to follow the routine, or only use it on active pimples. Alcohol is actually a great disinfectant but I wouldn't use it on my whole face. The Proactiv toner is definitely superior to this since that uses the pricier glycolic acid base. Lotion: Comparable to the Proactiv lotion. As other reviewers have mentioned, I would use this sparingly as well. It can be drying if you apply this to your whole face, instead of just active pimples. I found this less drying than the facewash though. As long as I use it sparingly, I can use the lotion daily with minimal dryness, but if I use the cleanser everyday the dryness is out of control. Routine: I only use the cleanser 1-2 times a week and use another sensitive skin facewash daily. If I use the cleanser anymore then that, the dryness gets out of control. Not just flakiness, but the type of dryness where it burns if you apply lotion on it. I do have sensitive skin, but I never had that type of dryness when I was on Proactiv (just general flakiness). I believe Proactiv only has 2.7% benzoyl peroxide in it vs the 3.7% in this kit. 3.7% is a bit high for me to apply to my entire face but works well applied sparingly to active pimples. I usually skip the toner or only apply it to active pimples. I use the lotion daily on any acne-prone places and active pimples, but not my whole face. I always followup with a moisturizer and a sunscreen. Purging period: As others have mentioned, I did experience a pretty bad purging period when I first started using the kit. It brought out cystic acne in places that I usually don't get it like on the far sides of my cheeks near my ears. It definitely gets worse at first before it gets better. The acne did eventually all go away but did leave brown marks behind that are going to take a while to fade. There also was the severe dryness I mentioned above, until I learned to get the "dosage" right for my skin. General opinion/recommendation: I would purchase the kit again if I was on a budget because it will do in a pinch, but I will probably search for something better. I feel like it does make my acne go away but it's pretty harsh on my skin and I don't feel like I can use it as part of my daily routine for a long period of time. I would be interested to try the "sensitive skin" version of the kit in the future to see how it compare. Right now I'm just going to finish up the remainder of this kit before introducing other items into my skincare routine.

I'm a 23 year old female. For the last several months, I had been dealing with breakouts along my forehead and hairline. I have always had an issue with noticeable blackheads along my nose and chin, too. I feel like I have tried every product on the planet. I had been using the Neutrogena 360 product line. It worked well for a while, until it just quit. So, then I switched to an all-natural product thinking the SLS in my regular face wash was causing the breakouts. The "all natural" product didn't help. At. All. So, one day when I was searching for Proactiv on prime, I found AcneFree. Since the reviews were good and the price was decent, I thought "well, shucks. Why not? It's not like it can make it that much worse." And people, let me tell you! I noticed a difference after two days of using this!! My blackheads on my nose weren't as noticeable and while my forehead was still broke out, there weren't any new bumps that had popped up! I followed the directions on the bottle that said to wash your face twice a day in it. My face itched so badly when I did a wash twice a day, so I cut back to just once in the morning. My skin looks pretty daggone good right now (I'm sure when I post this, something will happen and I'll break out tomorrow or something). My mother even commented on it this morning, which is why I was compelled to write this post. I switch between using the lotion that came in the box and using a lotion I already had. I find that if I use the AcneFree lotion several days in a row, my face just feels... sticky? Just get on with it and buy this product. You'll be glad you did.

Ordered from my brother, this works like magic for his acne prone skin. I bought 1 set before, this time I ordered 3 more sets

I just received my package. Its only a facial cleanser not the whole package
