Acnefree Review

AcneFree is one of the newest and more popular acne treatments available today. When you go to the products website it is lively animated, and obviously made to be more of a promotional image than actually informative on why the product works, and how it can help clear up any acne problem. The product claims to clear up acne and protect from blemishes twenty-four hours a day and cost less than all the other acne medications that compare. The product is copyrighted by the University Medical Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a company that has a very serious sounding name but not much of a repertoire.

AcneFree Ingredients

When clicking the link entitled “our science”, you are presented with a series of links to click explaining the various chemical agents and ingredients that this product utilizes to work as it does. The active ingredients are Benzoyl peroxide, Salicylic acid, and Benzalkonium Chloride.

It also sings the praises of its micro encapsulation technique, which is the way that it releases microscopic doses of the treatment into your pores all day. While this is an effective technique, it is one that is almost universal with acne treatment now. The release system allows the medicine to continue to work instead of releasing only when it is applied. One of the other links describes the 24/7 delivery that the treatment applies, which is the same thing as the encapsulation technique, making it a redundant source of information, one obviously written to make AcneFree seem like the premier acne treatment when it may not be all it’s cracked up to be.

Benzoyl peroxide is proven to treat acne and aid in exfoliation very well, it is used in most acne medicines and is nothing new to the skin treatment world. Salicylic acid works to exfoliate and can help clear dead skin cells around the acne, however while it reduces blemishes; it also can make your skin irritated and red. Benzalkonium chloride is the only ingredient that we don’t see commonly in acne medications and while it’s active agent doesn’t work to keep bacteria away from pores, it can have an allergic effect on some people. However, in theory, the ingredient does help prevent acne, and if the buyer is aware of his or her allergies, they should be safe.

Is AcneFree Worth Buying?

This acne medicine is often compared to Proactiv. They even compare it on the official website, showing once again it is a promotional website, nothing that should be taken as fact or a reliable source of information. You can tell because instead of showing the difference in ingredients, which isn’t much, they just show the price difference. Sure, you get more for your money through AcneFree, but you also get a few ingredients that can irritate the skin and might cause an allergic reaction.

There is a page of testimonials from various clients, in fact they have many of them, however none of these testimonials are dated, and none of them include the full name of the person who is supposedly writing them. They don’t even include before or after pictures for all of them, only a few are offered and we have no way of discerning if these are the people who wrote these testimonials, or even if they used AcneFree. These could simply be written by the makers of AcneFree. While the product has been FDA approved, they warn at the potential effects the treatment might have on a person. The reviews range but the average rating lies between two to three stars out of five.

Pros:

• Effective ingredients
• 24/7 delivery system
• Cheaper than most other leading medicines

Cons:

• Can cause allergic reactions
• Irritates skin
• Isn’t cheap enough to warrant the side effects.
• Average results

All in all, AcneFree is certainly not the worst product out there to treat acne. It has certain degrees of success that people can be thankful for. Occasionally the medicine can cause allergic reactions, and that danger is one that the buyer must beware of. The redness caused by the medicine has occurred so often that the FDA now warns about the side effects, however, the product retains FDA approval. Ultimately, there are better acne products out there, and for around the same price. You get what you pay for, and in this case, it’s probably worth it to spend that little extra, and get something superior to the AcneFree product.
