Advantages: Can clear up spots in days, doesn't dry the skin out like some similar products. Disadvantages: Could have a bad reaction, loses it's potency, quite expensive for the amount you recieve.
...the brink of giving up, Freederm appeared on the scene like music to my ears!
No more applying lotions that would dry a spot into a giant scab you would need to cook up a miracle to hide, this product promised a "new approach to acne treatment" so on a particularly bad day my mum went out to buy some on my behalf and back she came 20 minutes later with my purse £8.95 lighter - but hey, if it works money is no object(-ish)!

'''My Experience''':
I honestly believe that much of the effectiveness of this product relies on how it is applied, as in the beginning I was so used to other similar products that I simply "dotted" it on the spot, found it had no effect and abandoned it. Sometime later I gave it another try, this time following the directions to the letter and began applying a thin layer on the area the spots were ...

What is it supposed to do?

Freederm is designed to be a treatment for acne. It is supposed to reduce the size of spots in a short period of time, as well as reducing the painful discomfort associated with acne.

In my opinion, it works pretty well. I found that it does exactly what it ... ...thin film of freederm to cover this area. Keep out of the reach and sight of children. Do not store above 25 degrees. * * * * * * * * * *
How I found out about these
* * * * * * * * * *
I originally found out about freederm on a television advert. I've always been wary about skin care adverts, as the models always tend to have good skin anyway, so you can never quite tell how effective a product will actually be. Then, I saw them advertised in ...

...try it, I bought the Freederm gel in the 25g tube.
The product:
The product is basically a spot treatment gel. It is an anti-inflammatory treatment for mild to moderate acne. Now, I don't have acne but when all else fails I thought I'd give it ago and some friends I know had also reccomended it to me just as there normal 'spot cream'
The range:
Freederm has a smallish size range of products which just about covers the bare essentials. They have ... ...covers it!
The price:
Freederm costs around £7.50-£9 per 25 gram tube depending on where you buy it. I find this quite expensive for a spot treatment cream personally as I normally only spend between £3-£5 n spot treatment, but figuring that none of those worked for me so I decided to try one. You might be able to find cheaper if you look on Ebay and Amazon etc, but don't forget you still have to p&p which adds to your total.
Avaliability:

Advantages: It does dry out the actual spot... Disadvantages: ...but dried the rest of my skin along with it!
...saw a TV advert for Freederm and was intrigued because the gel contains a unique active ingredient called nicotinamide. This is supposed to have been clinically proven to help get rid of inflamed spots (the ones that are reddish-coloured, usually tender, and sometimes have pus in them). Its available over the counter only and is quite pricy at just under £8 for 25g - those two factors convinced me it must be different and therefore must work! But ... ...and people seemed to have good stuff to say about it, so I decided to go for it - after all, it had to be better than toothpaste (a so called top tip for getting rid of spots...hmmmm!) ** How it works ** It works in a different way to other spot treatments you can buy, because it penetrates the skin and treats the sebaceous glands, basically meaning it targets the process that causes the spots in the first place. It claims not only to target visible ...

Advantages: It does clear spots, makes the skin condition better, non-staining, non-sticky Disadvantages: The price, Works mainly on red, inflammed spots.
I started using Freederm gel about 2 months ago, I basically figured, give it a go, after all, I'm 23 and still getting quite a lot of spots!
It cost £8.75, which is a lot of money, but you do get a lot for your money. Only a thin layer is needed over the affected areas, so the tube of 25g really does last for a long time.
I noticed an improvement straight away, the red spots looked smaller and less sore. The product claims to be "a treatment for ... ...is where they stick to their promises because it does seem to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the sore, red spots very quickly. But better than that, my whole face seemed much clearer and fresher looking. I noticed at Boots that the label called it "treatment for acne and acne scars". It was the treatment of the scars, which interested me originally. I have to say that at first the gel did seem to be helping with some of the scars, although thinking ...

I bought some freederm after seeing an advert on the telly. The ad promised a new cream that banished redness and had a new way of fighting spots. It claims to be ' an anti-inflammatory treatment for mild to moderate acne that is especially suitable for tackling the redness and tenderness of inflamed spots.'

Advantages: fast acting, friendly to the skin, no pain, quick and easy, easy to get Disadvantages: for certain people-may be expensive, on some skin can aketime to act
At around £8.95 a tube, Freederm can indeed be quite expensive for some people, but can you really put a price on how you look and even feel. Acne can make you feel un-happy and un-attractive!
I bought the Freederm Lotion which is a facial wash and the Freederm gel which i apply after the wash!
combining these two products from the same company, i think, really helps spead the process up!

Freederm Gel can and will tackle all forms of spots, from small red bulges to huge white mountains on your chin.

Now and then i get a little white head, for some un-known reason. But the gel and lotion combined can get rid of that over night at times!

...saw a TV advert for Freederm and thought "it's worth a try I've tried everything else available" so off I went to my local Boots and bought some. I was quite taken aback at the price (about £9), and was a bit sceptical whether it would be worth buying as I have tried so many other products and been majorly disappointed with them.

I have also found that the tube has lasted me for ages because you only need to use a very small amount on each spot so the fact that it does cost slightly more isn't quite so bad when you know that it isn't going to be gone in a couple of weeks.

Like all the products I've used I gave it a month trial and with freederm's advert promising results within days i was a little annoyed to find no development at all.

I used freederm because i saw it on an advert and it was targetted to my age group, so i felt that like it would definatly work for me, when i bought it i used to use it twice aday but when i put makeup ontop of the gel it would kind of peel? a bit like glue, but of the colour of my concealer/foundation.

I honestly think taking into account me and my sisters experience it is not worth ...

...looking. The product Freederm has been getting promoted on the TV for years now and I though it was worth a shot. It is expensive at £8.95 for a 30ml tube, but it claims to work, so does it? Although it says it is a gel, it seems a little creamier than a normal gel. You use this twice a day, once in the morning and once at night and can be used after your normal routine. This is meant to stop spots from happening and make them go away. I find this ... ...they seem to have been advertising I thought it would have been a little better results. Perhaps this works good for little pimple type spots, but sometimes I can get angry red spots and although it takes a few days to see results on these types it seems to dry them out slightly and make them a bit less red. The packaging is ok. It is just a small white tube with the writing in blue up the tube. The box is white with a large flat back to it with ...
