Topical Keratolytic / Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Not often used because it smells bad, is opaque so it colors the skin when applied, and may rarely lead to severe side effects. Because of this, there haven’t been enough studies to show us whether it works or not, but it should help with mild-to-moderate acne.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
It does work without over-drying my skin. If you live in a dry climate use a light moisturizer first. I am 45+....this is the first product that has smoothed my skin in years. No more little bumps, no more pimples. I will buy it again.
Cons:
The consistency is mucky and it has a sulfur-ish odor....but if it works....who cares if it doesn't smell pretty.
I have tried every thing at a much higher price. A product under 10 dollars that works is a bargain.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Works better anything I have been using it for 20+ years.
Cons:
Very hard to find! Why are the best products always discontinued or hard find?
I wish it was more readily available.

Pros:
Less irritating than benzoyl peroxide, salicylic, or retinol
Cons:
Cannot wear during the day (tinted orange color)
Sulfur smell
Tinted creams are usually sulfur product and I like them because they are far less irritating on my skin than using benzoyl or salicylic. After about two weeks of using i noticed a dramatic difference in breakouts. My skin looked more even and less red. The only downfall about this product is that you cannot wear it during the day under makeup because it is too 'cakey looking. Also, when trying to wash this product off it is hard to scrub it completely off. When i use a toner to get all my makeup off there is always traces of this treatment cream left on. With all that aside, I think it is a pretty solid over the counter product with sulfur and resorcinol.

Pros:
-dries up spots/blemishes
-easy to use
-cheap
-effective
Cons:
-eh, none really
I love this stuff, I have used it for about 2 years. Haven't used it in a few months because I emptied the tube & just hadn't gotten around to buying another one, & also was trying different things. But just got another tube, I use as a spot treatment, it seems like a lot of people use it for all over the face. I don't. I just bad some on my blemishes, rub it in a little, & then leave it wet til it dries & wear it overnight, wash in the morning. If you had a blemish you squeezed & got the white stuff out, put this on after you've washed befre you go to bed as a spot treatment, it really helps to dry those suckers out! I have found that after a few times of appplying it, the blemish sort of just peels off.

Pros:
Very effective
Easy on sensitive skin
Cons:
Smell
I have used salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide in the past, but neither of them worked very well and the b.p. was very drying. I began using the "Adult Care" as a spot treatment and it cleared up all of my pimples. Once I was clear, I started mixing a dab of the tinted cream in with my face lotion (alpha hydroxy lotion at night, Aveeno lotion in the day) and smoothing it all over my face and neck. I can't believe how much better my skin is now. I even use the Tanda, but I think this cream is the key.

Pros:
Smells like baby wipes, :).
Helps bring down the acne.
Easy to find.
Recommended from my doctor.
Cons:
Didnt bring down acne for about 1 week.
Leaves orange markings when dry.
Stiffens face.
Its great. Im still using it, but ive had it for about 1 week now. My acne isn't totally gone but there was a dramatic decrease of how almost invisible it has became. I has lots of acne on my forehead and now its faintly shrinking. I also recommend putting it on before bed,then going to bed WITH it on. When i wake up i wash my face and get it off, and i do the whole method of warm water and soap. Thennnn i just repeat the cycle. Its been working surprisingly good. My doctor recommended it to me, and she told my other facial scrubs are a no no. She said this shrinks pimples and helps her too! Good luck, hope it helps!

Pros:
Love it! I tried just about everything, ProActive, StayClear, Clean and Clear Acne Kit, etc. I remember when I was in highschool I use to have mild acne and my mom told me about Adult Care and it cleared up. So after being so stressed out I thought I'd go back to what I KNEW would work. Wash with Noxzema then put on Clearasil Adult Care. My acne has cleared up completely!
Cons:
I agree with most when they say it does smell but hey I can stand the smell if it means having a clear complextion! =)
The product is inexpensive and it has worked for me. I can get it over the counter, don't have to order it online or join any club or get a prescription.

Pros:
works well on all types of acne, keeps my skin smooth and helps prevent new acne
Cons:
slightly pungent smell
I've spent a good 15 years on what seemed like a never-ending quest for clear skin. I've tried everything out there sparing no expense whatsoever (ie. MD prescribed topical/oral antibiotics, over-the-counter treatments, and even accutane!). Since my skin gets irritated by salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide has absolutely no effect on my adult acne, I recently bought this Clearasil adult acne cream as a last ditch effort. I found that using the cream (right after a good 3 minute lather with Noxzema Triple Clean Anti-Bacterial Cleanser) gives me heaven-sent results!! For the first time in years, the little bumps on my face are disappearing! This combination has personally worked out lovely for me :)

Pros:
Works well, even on cystic acne and boils
Cons:
I never noticed any odor or fragrance. something is wrong with your noses.
Works well on adult acne, especially if you have grown frustrated with benzoyl peroxide remedies that burn when applied, and salicylates that make your face peel like an onion.
Pros:
Started to work immediately, have been using the product for about two weeks and i can see a huge difference.
