Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Easy to find and with low side effects, but don’t be surprised if you are left wishing for better results after using it for a while. Any acid on its own is unlikely to dramatically clear acne.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Cons:
it didn't clean my pores really well the toner would burn my skin i didn't see a decrease in my acne I was really hoping for great results.
I think there is a better product that would clean my skin better. I have been using this product for over a year and i still don't see any results.. Before buyin this product i would try other cheaper products.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
only thing good about this is that it comes out of the tube good. HATE IT.
Cons:
worst thing ive ever used on my face. all it will do is burn your skin leaving it red spotted and flaky. i even used a moisturizer and i still woke up in the morning with red patches where i applied this. i DO NOT recommend this. you will regret it!
I hate this stuff, I will never use it again. Thanks for the crapy day at school! with big red spots all over my face where i put this crap! i even used a moisturizer just so it wouldn't overdry and do this to me. I HATE THIS STUFF! i hate it! ruined my freakin day!

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Defense Lotion)
Pros:
Worked well the first few times used, but after a while stopped working as well. It goes on good and doesn't smell bad.
Cons:
If you touch it, there is a chance it may rub off. The bottle is too small for the price though, and it requires a lot of squeezing to get ALL of it out.
I would recommend this to people that experience overdrying with other products; this seems to be more gentle.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Cleared up acne, soft skin, nice lather and smell
Cons:
Slightly drying
I used to have the best skin but about a year ago, my forehead exploded with acne and whiteheads. I spent a year trying to clear it up and pick up Aveeno out of desperation. Within a week, there was a massive improvement. My whiteheads started popping off my skin and the pimples and zits died down and stayed down.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I have a bunch of whiteheads on my forehead and its the only cleanser that can get rid of them! I evens out my skin tone and make my pores less visible.
Cons:
Well like any cleanser, you need patience and takes awhile for the effects to take place.
It worked for me and I have tried almost everything for my skin, but everyone skin is different and unforetunately it might not be for everyone. If you have oily skin and whiteheads and blackheads I would recommend this for you. More severe ance should take prescriptions from a doctor or dermotologist.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Makes your face feel fresh and thoroughly cleaned! It makes your skin feel as though you have had a nice scrub and makes your face feel aired out. Clears up unwanted blemishes.
Cons:
If you use it for a while everyday it stops working. Well for me it does, everyones skin is differant. Also, 7 dollars for this isnt THAT bad but seriously the bottle isnt that big and 7 dollars is a little outrageous.
Works well, just dont't let your skin get too used to Biore (and a lot of other products) because the effectivness starts to wear off! But If I were you, I would give this scrub a shot.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
This is a great product for my skin, and to everybody you must use a moisterizer! Even if your skin doens't feel dry it needs to be moisterized!
Cons:
It's common sense, if your skin is dry and flaky it's going to look dull and sh*tty even if you pile on all the makeup. Even those with oily skin, you need to moisterize!
This is a great product, I recomend it to anybody, and always use at least a light moisterizer after.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
It doesn't have an offensive odor.
Cons:
Made my face break out worse AND burned my skin so badly that I felt like I had been sunburned.
I am sending this back tomorrow. I heard so many great things about Arbonne that I thought I would try their acne face line to clear up hormonal/stress induced acne. Not only did it not clear up my face, it made it worse! Not to mention the discomfort of the burning on my face!
Pros:
It really softened my skin.
