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.

Cons:
Stinks, the "tint" is too dark and most importantly it burned the skin around my pimple! About 5 minutes after application the skin on my face became red and swollen. I will never use a clearasil product again.
This stuff sucks, big time.

Works for some time
I started using clearasil back in high school. I would dab a pea size amount on my finger and place it on my problem areas. It worked for awhile and would dry up my pimples fast. But, at some point it didnt work for me anymore. It was like my skin became immunte to it or something. I would recommend using a small amount of this every other day. If you use it everyday it will just dry out your face and make everything worse. Also, I dont recommend buying the tinted kind. It smells funny and makes your face look bad. So, stick with the clear white kind and put it on and night.

great!
Pros:
dries up pimples
tints
Cons:
none
For some reason Benzoyl peroxide doesn't work for me. I used this stuff and it decreased the inflammation of zits drastically! I was so surprised. Yes it kinda smells bad but I can't smell it after 5 minutes.

Pros:
Hides small pimple/underground pimples
Cons:
Does nothing on big pimples
Hides acne, doesn't heal it
Doesn't blend into skin
This product is great if you have light acne, but if you get bigger pimples, another product should be used.

Pros:
Seems to work really well and does blend well with my skin tone.
Cons:
Not too fond of the smell, but can live with it for the results!
I haven't used it long enough to know if it will eliminate future breakouts, but so far so good and VERY inexpensive!!

Pros:
EFFECTIVE. Cant emphasis this enough.
Cheap.
Covers up acne so you dont have to look at it, even if it does look stupid having orange marks everywhere.
I actually like the smell.
Easy to find.
Cons:
ITCHY D:
Looks stupid having orange marks everywhere, ha.
Stains towels, but hey, just use paper towels.
Even though Dan's regimen recommends BP, I actually find sulfur to work ten times better. It's also been used FOREVER; dating back to the Romans, apparently. Usually I really dislike Clearasil (Vanishing Cream sucks, man), but this stuff is incredible. I put it on for 6 hours and already my acne is waay down. And unlike all the reviews that say it's nasty, I actually think it smells like roses. The one downside is that it really, really itches. Im really scared of getting impetigo, so Im constantly freaking out, wondering if Im going to get impetigo or if it's just my skin itching. Whatever. I can sacrifice itchy skin for not having acne. Dont let the term 'adult care' discourage you, either. Im not really sure why it says that .___. It works great on all types of acne. Go out and get this stuff!

Pros:
This is the only product that works well for me. Salycilic Acid and Benzoil Peroxide do absolutely nothing!
Cons:
I have a hard time finding it in my area. The tint is a little dark but I put it on about 5 minutes before applying moisturizer and that smooths out the tint.
Prefer this to anything else.
