Freederm, not bad price, not good results

Advantages: Not expensive
Disadvantages: Dryness and disappointment

Tried it over a week and then gave up. Made my face achey and dry after 2 days. Thought this was good, at first, all the grease being absorbed, but actually just left with dry patches all over the place which were pretty painful to the touch and when I towel dried my face after washing. Shame, I really wanted it to work!!! Had seen the TV adverts a while back. Think price is OK, not too expensive. Just didn't seem to do the job on me personally. ...

Review of Freederm Acne Treatment

the one and only

Advantages: easy to use
Disadvantages: none

It is the only treatment that has been successful for me in controlling spots these were very deep painful ones. it costs £8.95 which you may think is expensive but it does last a long time mine lasted 4 months. There is no smell it doesnt aggravate your skin just leaves it soft and supple you can put your face cream over the top of this product and it wont react. You can use it either as a cleanser (where you wet your face then massage it in) or ...
...small amount on and leave it on overnight) I found this worked for me extremely well. I personally saw an improvement after a week. I found the packaging very good it doesnt brake(robust) the directions are very clear and easy to understand one of the best i have tried so far ...

Review of Freederm Freederm Lotion

Stings on sensitive skin, not effective on medium spots

Advantages: Not too expensive, contains lots of pads, easily available
Disadvantages: Stung badly on sensitive skin and didn't appear to help my skin

...haven't had any luck with Clearasil before, but decided to give it a go, who knows... I've come to the conclusion that Clearasil are a company aimed at helping people with very mild skin issues. If you suffer from reoccuring problems, or something more serious, I wouldn't recommend them. Anyway, the product itself. It smells very strong when you're up close to it, but in a way this is reassuring, you think it's going to zap your spots away! I was ...
...it stung, a lot!! I didn't have open sores or anything, but my skin is sensitive, and these pads are certainly not made for sensitive skin. There are a lot of pads inside, and I didn't consider it expensive overall. I used them in the evening over 4 days, and promptly gave up when I saw no noticeable improvement, nor could stand the acidic stinging! So, be careful when choosing this product... Not for sensitive skins, or medium/severe spots. Summary: ...

Review of Clearasil Ultra Deep Pore Treatment Pads

Spot off Oxy

Advantages: Not expensive compared to other products, widely available
Disadvantages: For me, totally uneffective

...was a big range of Oxy products on sale. I started applying it in evenings after washing my face. It didn't overly sting which was nice. I did this over a week or so and saw nothing notable. Spots had not subsided, redness still there, still painful. So, I applied it in the morning as well. Started getting really dry face (think I went a bit far in the hope that too much was better than not enough!!!) and, again, no real visible benefits. After 5 ...

Review of Oxy On The Spot Cream

Very expensive for what you get :(

Advantages: Convenient size bottle to take away (that's all I can think of really...!)
Disadvantages: Price and lack of results

I had read everything good about these products, all the celebrity reviews and got totally swept away!!! Anyway, bought this product a few months ago and used it over the two months following. It didn't over sting which was nice, but for me, it just wasn't effective. I know everyone has different skin and reacts in different ways, but I had such high hopes for this treatment. It started by drying a few of my spots but my skin seemed to just get used ...
