I've seen one at walmart called AcneFree. It is a 3 piece system
like proactiv. I've heard its half the price of proactiv and
works just as well, but I have not personally tried it. Anyone
else try it? ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

| I have had acnefree for 10 weeks and still using it. My face is totally clear and feels awesome. Its better than proactiv... it works faster and leaves your skin smoother and feeling refreshed. |

I just bought the Acne Free at Target. I started it today and my skin felt really soft, (not greasy). It is the 3 step. I thought it might be too drying for my skin, but so far, my skin doesn't feel tight and dry after using it.

| Does the Acnefree lotion (3rd step) work like a moisturizer? Can I put on moisturizer or suncreen after applying the 3rd step? |

I just bought some AcneFree to try about 2 days ago. If its
anything like proactiv, the 3rd step is a good moisturizer. I
never needed to use any moisturizer after the 3rd step in proactiv,
even in the dry winters, but I'm noticing the AcneFree 3rd step is a
little less oily feeling. I believe they recommend you use a
sunscreen because the sandy cleanser in proactiv exfoliates your skin
and makes it more sensitive. The AcneFree doesn't exfoliate
nearly as much, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem since the
ingredients are so similar in the two. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

| I have bought and used both Proactiv and the Walgreens acnefree and they both worked identically for me (cleared me right up, but drying). |

| The Acnefree is starting to dry my skin out, but my face did clear up. Now I only use it at night because my skin is getting really dry. |
