Acne Free Oil Free Acne Cleanser

I have been through 4, 6 month cycles of Isotretinoin, which shrunk my sebaceous glands enough for this product to effectively manage my trunkal acne (manage meaning significantly reduce but not completely eliminate). It works great on the chest, torso, back, shoulders, face, neck, and upper arm areas. My skin is never irritated from it, and the fact that it is non-scented is a bonus. I never have seen it bleach my hair, towell, or clothing.

For reference I’m female nearing 30 and my skin type is.. clogged. Is easily clogged a skin type? I don’t have thick ruddy skin, more like delicate but stubborn and easily clogged skin (comedonal acne not inflammatory acne). I pretty much can’t use any type of lotion, gel, oil, or moisturizer except maybe fresh aloe and everything else aggravates and clogs up my face. My pores clog easily from environmental factors as well as touching my face.. it is what it is. I use this face wash as a sort of contact therapy for acne and clogged pores.i wash my face once a day before bed so I only use this product (obviously) once a day. Sometimes I wash my face with a different face wash first and then use this one as a mask and leave it on 10 minutes and barely feel a tingle. Other times I put it on and it burns within seconds (in which case I rinse off quickly). Point is that this CAN and WILL compromise your moisture barrier and is prone to user error. BUT this has cleared up my face more than any other product that I have tried! It’s really quite shocking. What it WONT do (if your acne is like mine) is get rid of a clogged pore that is already formed and taking residence on your face. It may help it come to a head for extraction, and I’m totally fine with that.. but the true amazing thing is the PREVENTION that this face wash has provided. I still have clogged pores.. but not 100s more like 20. Huge difference. Bottom line: if you leave this on like a mask for several minutes or however long you decide, you will highly likely make a mistake and over dry your skin so be very, very careful. I’m sure it’s safer to just lather rinse but that’s not the way I do it and I wanted to share my experience. This face wash has really helped my skin and I’m happy with the results. UPDATE: Since I left such a detailed review I felt the need to update. I rarely use this face wash at this point because it was drying me out with daily use and dry skin=clogged pores for me. I WILL use it when I have the active/inflammatory acne popping up. Lately I have actually be attempting to heal my skin with honey. Yes honey, raw and COLD PRESSED (important) I spread it on my face use it like a mask and wash it off. It’s been a slow process, not a quick fix (I’m playing the long game) but I have been slowly seeing my skin get clearer and also leaves my face feeling moisturized. So basically I only use honey most days but I will occasionally use traditional face wash. It’s been working really good I’m actually quite impressed. Google “washing face with honey” and read some blogs if your interested and remember don’t use anything but the thick whiteish honey that comes in a jar (aka cold-pressed). Hope this helps someone 🤷‍♀️😘 God bless!💕

I've used this product for years and years up to when it first came out. I loved it. It never irritated or dried my skin helped with breakouts. The first time I used this product I immediately knew something was different. It didn't smell the same, it wasn't the same consistency, and irritated my skin. Something changed and I'm actually afraid to use it and won't. What the heck did they do to it? Completely different and in the worst way. They changed the formula but not the bottle which makes me so angry. We have the right to know what's going on our face! So ignorant and inconsiderate

I like this product because it dries acne out immediately. It's something you need to use routinely as the effects can be temporary. I would recommend it to anyone who can handle a strong cleanser and slight dryness of the skin as a side effect. It's worth it to me to have acne drying up quickly. I didn't care for the packaging as they taped it so tight (to prevent spillage) I could barely get the tape off! That's the only reason I gave it four stars due to the problematic tape. I will keep buying it as long as I have breakouts.

This is not thick but feels good on your skin,it works great, my face clear up very fast, does leave your skin feeling nice, not dry, I love this, I'm a senior but still break out from time to time

I have been using this same stuff for years and it works great on my face and back. Only problem was when they delivered it, it was in a bag and must have gotten stepped on slightly because a lot leaked out. I contacted customer service and they helped me out right away though. Great service and product!

This face wash has helped me with breakouts. I do not have acne but I have been under a lot of stress with work and school and it was causing breakouts on my face. I ordered this and in one week it helped ! It has really helped clear my complexion! I highly recommend it! I have sensitive combination skin and this face wash doesn’t over dry or irritate my skin and it is sooo much more affordable to me than some of the other face washes on the market! It also dosent cause my skin to peel from harsh acids! I love it and will continue to buy this!

August 2014 my cousin introduced me to the Acnefree Severe Cleansing System that comes with 4 products. It cleared my acne up quickly and completely and it is the best acne treatment product I have ever used. Unfortunately the face wash in the kit finished around February. It was so good that I didn't really want to use anything else on my face but obviously I still had to wash it so I was using random face washes. My skin was not a fan of this and I broke out terribly (especially also because of stress and heat from my climate). Acnefree isn't sold where I live so I have to either buy it online or wait until I travel to the US. Hence the long delay. When I bought this cleanser I still had a little toner left and quite a bit of lotion. I made a huge mistake however because I was looking to replace the face wash from the Acnefree severe kit, I bought this one because it was the same brand and the ingredients were the same. BUT BE CAUTIOUS. THE SEVERE SYSTEM FACE WASH HAS 10% BENZOYL PEROXIDE AND THIS ONLY HAS 2.5% BENZOYL PEROXIDE. I should also mention aside from that one really bad breakout my acne is mild to moderate. My skin is very cooperative with every face wash, it's just that some work a lot better than others. When the severe face wash finished I wasn't consistent with washing my face, I wasn't using one face wash and I was very stressed and in a hot climate. Hence, the really bad breakout. I used this cleanser for 2 months and I use a lot and wash my face twice a day and there's still about half a bottle left. It cleared my bad breakout up but I still notice a few zits or small bumps occasionally. The bad breakout also unfortunately left so many dark spots across my cheeks especially the right one. This cleanser does nothing for dark spots and I'm mad at myself for waiting til my acne got bad before treating it as that was what left me with dark spots when I had a very even complexion before. Bottom line: If you have mild acne and just need something to keep occasional zits at bay this is good but I prefer a thorough system with a cleanser, toner and lotion and because my acne isn't too bad using products with a higher dosage of benzoyl peroxide kills the acne quicker and keeps my entire face clear for much longer even up to a month after I stop using it. So I'm going to repurchase the Acnefree Severe Kit. Mild acne : get this Mild to moderate acne : get the Acnefree Severe Kit
