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.

Sceptic Turned Believer
I am a 30-year-old female suffering from occasional outbreaks of cystic acne. I believe it is due to hormonal imbalance as I have PCOS. I have tried many products to try and help clear up my cystic acne internal and external treatments. I have recently discovered Adult Acnomel that is very effective in halting cystic pimples from growing into enormous cystic mountains. When I feel a tender spot forming, I immediately apply the acnomel cream to the spot. This stopped the pimple from growing. The more times I applied it, the faster the cystic pimples shrank. The color became chalky on my skin after it dried, so I would recommend using it at night. I cant believe it took me 15+ years to discover this treatment but I'm sure glad I did! The price is very reasonable ($9) which is well worth every penny of the results. Now all I have to do is clear up the acne scars and I will be free of this nightmare acne!

Cons:
Tint does not match my skin tone at all! Makes it look like i got a really bad spray tan..but as long as you wear it at night, no biggy!
works very well. :)

Pros:
It helps out alot with the big pimples
Cons:
It leaves your skin really dry
it can leave black spots on your face
This product is alright if you want to get rid of major acne pimples.But this product does not clear your acne as you would like. breakouts will still continue to appear I would recomend trying other products for moderate to severe acne but it was one of the best products I tryed.

Pros:
This product works really well when applied at night, a thin layer all over the face. Once it causes your acne to subside it will maintain the results of done regularly. Its cause my pores to be tighter as well
Cons:
It could smell a little better. I like the tint cause it shows me where I've applied it,but it might as well be any color. I would never wear this as a make up or cover up.
Tried, tested and true. Clearasil has been around forever, for a reason. I think people give up on acne treatments too quickly cause they expect rapid results. This takes a little time, but when it finally does get you clear you just have to maintain it by continuing to use the product before bed every night.

Pros:
This product works really well but you have to let your skin get used to it as it is VERY drying the first couple of days. I've sworn by this spot treatment for years now but need something a little stronger when I get large, swollen acne.
Cons:
A little drying and doesn't work as well on large pimples. (Although it creates a matte effect which makes it look less conspicuous)
The best value for your money! The large tube costs only about $5.00 and it lasts for ages! I use it 2x daily each time I wash my face even if I don't have acne because it keeps it pretty clear. (and matte) I should also mention I have combination skin that sporadically breaks out in the chin and nose area. yuck!

Pros:
None
Cons:
It was extremely drying. After a week of using it, I noticed dry patches that were soooo red and raised. It was embarassing. Plus it was sooo itchy that I couldn't sleep at night.
Never again.

Pros:
Only use this layers. Start with one application a day and move up. It works great. This is really improving my acne fast. 3 days now and a remarkable improvment. Do not pop your bumps. This will do wonders. Just give it time.
Cons:
The tint is real dark so I wear it when I am at home.
My skin was moderate severe from what the dermatologist said. He also recommended to use somethig with benz peroxide in it. But do not use to much. Toom much will not help. Put on a thin layer through the day and at night as well. If your skin is handling the bp well then you may put on another thin thin layer during the day but I do not recommend 3 applications daily. It will take a couple days before you see results. If you put it on real small bumps, it will make it where they wont even come up. It has helped me so far. Atleast give it a shot.

Pros:
works well, a good alternative to benzoyl peroxide
Cons:
smells...pretty bad, not in a stinky garbage way, but a really ugly perfume. not unbearable, but hope it could be fixed
The vanishing ones don't quite...vanish. there is still a tint..but over all.good enough.

Pros:
works on rosacea, gets skin back to normal color and will definately prevent whiteheads. I think it is slowly getting the gunk out of the blackheads too but they are stubborn.
Cons:
my husband called me a skunk, and also accused me of "not wiping" and refused to kiss me..this product smells like a garbage truck on a hot day.
basically you got to already be married to try this stuff cause your face will stink so bad that u will turn men off..but hey,...there is a reason that I am still using it ..it works. oh and at the office...people keep accusing me of lighting matches in my cubicle....cause I got this perma-stink thing now, but I guess its better than a permanently red and bump-filled face...which was the situation last year so last year nobody could look at me...now they smile at me but they keep their distance. I am complaining heavily about the stink because I hope that the makers of clearsil will make a "fragrance" free version cause I need this stuff and have no choice.
