Acne free in 3 days review - is it a scam?
By Acne Free | October 3, 2006
Acne free in 3 days is a popular ebook that is written by a guy named Chris Gibson who claims he has a “scientifically proven secrets” that cured his acne in 3 days. Well that’s a very bold claim, but is acne free in 3 days a scam or is it the miracle cure acne sufferers the world over have been searching for?
Acne free in 3 days review:
I bought the ebook so I could review it for my Beat Down Acne blog readers, and here’s what I think about Acne free in 3 days.
- It’s way to long. The “meat” of the Acne free in 3 days system could be told in about 20 pages, but the author praddles on and on about how terrible acne is, and how great it feels to be acne free. Every person living with acne knows it sucks they don’t need to pay to read about it.
- What the book recommends has nothing to do with drugs or supplements. It’s more of a detox diet. A very strict detox diet.
- I already have my acne under control so I couldn’t really try out the Acne free in 3 days system (even if I did I don’t think I could last 3 days on the restrictive plan) but I have a hard time believing you can get rid of acne in 3 days. Even Accutane takes a couple weeks to work, and that’s the most powerful acne treatment available
Acne free in 3 days is not a scam in my opinion, but it is a little hyped. Following the advice in the book will take some serious discipline. If you don’t want to pay the 30 bucks for Acne free in 3 days you can learn more than you’ll ever need to know about detoxing your body at sites like http://curezone.com

Nice, honest response to the eBook! It is true that Chris goes on for a while about his acne problem, but it is motivating to hear about the benefits of fixing the problem…
Also, to decrease the length and sum up the quickest and easiest ways to get rid of your acne in combination with the knowledge from Acne Free In 3 Days, I created a step-by-step guide to help other people clear their skin like I did! Hope it helps:

hey everyone. i just wanted to say that i have suffered from acne since i was 10 years old (im 14 now) and recently ive found the only product that has worked for me. it is the clean and clear acne control advantage kit. strangely, this product worked for me but not for my sister(16 years old). she used the acne free severe acne treatment system. we got both of these products at target and found that they really work. i guess it just depends on what type on skin you have. Also, when my siter was 14 she tried proactive and it did not work at all so the doctors thought she was allergic to something in the product causing her face to get red and peel. just a warning for the kit that i used, it dries your skin out alot. and that it the only negative about it. the moisturizer is not very good, i so i suggest that you find a good moisturizer for you and your skin
hope i helped out!

I bought the book like last year I think. IT DOES NOT WORK, and when I asked for a refund, they never replied. I had to email a few times and still nothing happened. Ultimately had to report their company.’
don’t waste your money
it’s a huge scam

[…] Fiber is well known to help with digestion. Keeping your colon clean and ridding the body of any toxins, it is also great for helping people with weight loss. However, one way in which it can help that many people are unfamiliar with, is as an acne treatment. If you’ve read of the “Acne Free In 3 Days Ebook you know they place great emphasis on colon cleansing. You can check out my Acne Free In 3 Days Review here. […]

Acne free in 3 days is a total scam. I bought the ebook and they sent me a blank file, nothing there. So I’ve emailed and emailed for 3 weeks, with no reply. I even called the phone number they listed and it said “leave a message and a customer service rep will return”. Then it beeps and says “mailbox is full”. So I basically gave this company $40 for absolutley nothing.

[…] Acne free in 3 days review - This is one of the few truthful reviews of the acne free in 3 days ebook on the internet. Most of the other reviews are sneakily promoting the book with their affiliate link […]

I would never trust a product that claims to work in 3 days. It just seems too good to be true. Odds are that it contains the harmful ingredient called Benzoyl Peroxide. I tend to stay away from products like that. I think it is wise to stay with a product that contains salicylic acid. There is a new product out called CTRL that contains this ingredient, and it seems to be working for a lot of people. If you are having trouble with the 3 day method, its probably because it doesn’t work. Maybe its time to switch medicines.

I was bitterly disappointed after purchasing my ebook from Christopher Gibson…acne free in three days. I purchased because my 11 yr old daughter has been suffering acne and is starting to become quite embarrassed about it. Obviously the rituals descriped in this book are very much inappropriate for an 11 yr old and so I asked for the “no questions asked refund” which despite many requests, never came. Now I am down $80Au and again searching for an appropriate product for my child. Please be very careful of these supposed refund promises because they DO NOT come.

So glad I found your honest review and comments by other readers. I have a website about healthy living, detox etc. and was looking to see if “Acne Free In 3 Days” is worth promoting on my Acne section. Obviously not if they are not honouring their refund claim.
As a matter of interest:
Clickbank does say on their returns policy that if a merchant doesn’t honour their returns claim and the purchase was made less than 60 days ago, you can approach them (Clickbank) directly.
The following taken from their website:
1. What is ClickBank’s return policy?
“Our official return policy for all ClickBank products is as follows:
ClickBank will, at its discretion, allow for the return or replacement of any defective product within 60 days from the date of purchase.”
Hope that helps somebody.

Chris Gibson’s instructions on “how to cure acne in three days” are not only stern but also impossible to adhere to. In our current society, not many of us have the budget to refrain from consuming the foods which he dubbed as acne-causing. We obtain our vitamins, minerals and other nutritious elements from these foods which he forbids us to eat if we were to stay acne-free for the remainder of our life. From my personal stance, his system can be equated with a daily religious ritual.
My personal counsel to any acne sufferer is to save your money. After following Gibson’s acne-free system, you will be unspeakably frustrated after realizing that you were duped by a charlatan. A self-proclaimed expert like Gibson is unquestionably a scam artist who pleasures himself in defrauding acne-sufferers who are desperate to find a rapid and ever-lasting solution to their morbid disease.
In conclusion, I wish to urge all of the readers who are reading this post to follow my counsel. I have tried the system myself and I quickly discovered it was a waste of money, time and energy. Perhaps you may be wondering: well, simply because it did not work for you does not mean it wont work for me! To such an assertion, I say that you are totally wrong. Gibson’s system will not work for anyone since it is incurable in its nature. Not only owing to its tenets but also to countless which I leave for you to explore if you decide to try it. On thing to have in mind, Gibson’s promised refund is nonexistent.

I too wanted to try the “Acne Free in 3 days” books but decided against it. I am now 30 and just recently was able to get my acne under control with the help of Mario badescu drying mask etc. It worked.

It is awful that people prey on acne sufferers with e-books and miracle diets. They are immoral scammers. These people deserve a special place in hell. Do not give these monsters your money. Acne can be devastating. The legitimate solutions for acne are freely available from health organizations, the Internet, your doctors office and your public library. There is no secret. You can solve this problem! The problem is oil production and bacteria thriving on the excess oil. Here are the standard methods, one or more of them will work for you:
a) saturated-fat and dairy free diet
b) gentle cleansing regime
c) topical acne treatments (trial and error)
d) laser treatments to lessen oil production
e) anti-biotics
f) powerful meds to lessen oil production

All his e-book says is to eat nothing but peeled Red Delicious or Golden apples for 3 days, and to drink only water and 3oz of grape juice on the last day…and the need of massaging pure caster oil into the skin each night before going to sleep, as well as performing enemas at the end each day and taking 2 tablespoons of olive oil on the last day ALSO!

Paxalot, you my friend are incredibly wrong. Chris may not have the best solution for acne but he is definitely on the right track. Acne is not common in a healthy body, why did our ancestors even our great grandparents never have acne?? Weren’t they just or more dirty than us, but they never broke out. 90% of Americans break out with acne at some point, that is not normal and It is because acne is a symptom of a unhealthy digestive system. Toxins get backed up in the digestive organs where your body normally can get rid of them through normal bowel movements, etc… But when you continually use antibiotics it kills the good bacteria in your system. Then on top of that when you eat like the normal american diet in the last 15-20 years you pump yourself full of nutrient defficient and toxic food your body becomes overwhelmed and tries to pump out the extra toxins through another exit - the skin. Acne is the toxins your body is backed up with excreting them through the skin.
That was a rant but Paxalot, don’t curse people to hell when you have no idea what your talking about.
June 20th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
SCAM! Don’t do it. Three days is way too miraculous for anything. My advice - use natural products. That was all around when our grandparents were younger and now they have flawless (minus rinckles maybe) skin.

i just did the acne cleanse and it works u guys are just lying punks i didnt even buy the book just got it from a friend on youtube and it WORKS the only problem with this is ITS FCKING HARD! it takes great pain to go threw with this 3 day cleanse but it does work so whoever is back mouthing this should stfu
August 22nd, 2009 at 5:23 pm
well i have acne on my forehead and little on my face. (im a boy by the way) and i have to go to school in two and a half weeks. So if anyone has a method for killing acne quickly other than this book, please tell. I dont want any one make fun of me
September 6th, 2009 at 8:57 am
i have tried this altghough i didn’t buy the book. i have the pdf version. in the first day i recognzied that little ‘act up’ of the acne but as i read in the book i thought this was normal and that on the 3rd day my acne was actually going to dissapear. i was eating like 10 apples a day and 3-4 big bottles of water. on the 2nd day that ‘act up’ was even worse and so, i started worrying about that. on the 3rd day my acne was worse than ever. i trully believe that a healthy diet is what helps a little bit with your acne, and by not eating and drinking anything else beside apples and water, i’ve actually took all the minerals from my body, making it unhealthy. not to say that i was using jonathan apples, which have a lot of acidity. at the end of the 4th day, in which i ate almost normal, i fainted. i just couldn’t stay on my own feet, my arms were shaking and i was feeling nausea. it continued with some awfull cramps and i can not say how bad i felt. the cramps disappeared only after 3 days. now, i’m taking some extra vitamins to help my body with getting healthy again. the acne is still worse than it’s ever been. it has never been this bad. really. i have no purpose on lying about this method. but it just doesn’t helps at all. it worsened my acne like crazy. still, it’s your choice. but i know what it’s like to see your face breaking out in a horrible way and that’s why i’m telling you. again, i have no purpose on lying about this product as i am an acne sufferer myself.

I did this detox some time ago and yes it did work for me and as mike above said it is hard going,very hard. It wont work for everyone this is true but you wont find out unless you try it .
December 27th, 2009 at 3:19 am
To be honest the best bet without wasting money is downloading the ebook via torrenting using utorrent and the pirate bay. Never fails me and I saved money, but its alright to be scared and not want to do it, viruses are the least of my problems.
February 6th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Andrea, wow. I am sorry to hear that. I tried it and it got a little worse. I was also really grumpy because I was snacking on apples while everyone else feasted on pizza and chips and fruit juice. It did not work for me. So I thought I did something wrong. Did it again two weeks later. Nothing happened. Plus all my friends began to worry about me because they thought I was going anorexic. I did this in the summer of 2009. When you guys were writing this stuff. It is now February 2010. I still have the rotten looking scappy face today. DO NOT BUY IT!
February 9th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
I tried out his book and my acne actually got much worst!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!

“Purging” your body might seem to work. What makes acne is too much oil production and inflammation. It is your diet causing that. There’s lots of foods cause inflammation. But you don’t need to purge “toxins” you need to stop eating foods that cause acne. Mostly sugar and things that turn into sugar in your body, like starches, or those “healthy” whole grains. And fruit! You do need to eat different, and purging might seem like it works cause you suddenly stop eating things that make you have acne. But you don’t need to go to such a long way.
