I tried the generic version "acne free", it burned the hell out of my skin, it kill the acne, but my skin was bright red and painful, Im pretty sure I had an alleric reaction to it. I started using cetaphil moustirizer and nuetragena body scrub, and I have farless break out. I notice a huge difference in my skin, if I dont mousturize, I get far more breakouts and my skin gets so dried out that I huge, blood filled pustuals(sp), that like to splatter on my under shirt or bedsheets..
