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: Stridex (Maximum Pads with Salicylic Acid, Alcohol Free)
Pros:
- Alot of product for one pad.
- Helps clear & prevent breakouts
- Convenient. Plus they give you a coupon on Stridex products, making this even cheaper!
Cons:
- CAN be drying
- Does sting a bit
- I cannot use it TOO frequently (twice a day for a sustained period of time) because it drys my skin
I used this in conjunction with a knockoff (like Target brand) of Neutrogena oil-free acne wash. I wash my face then use one of these pads all over, especially to trouble areas.
Use a GOOD moisturizer. Sometimes I use this only 4 or so times a week, to give my skin a break.
Also worked GREAT for me on back blemishes.

Pros:
cleared my ance in less than a month
Cons:
none that i can think of
I tried the whole clean and clear advantage kit and saw amazing results. I used to have really bad acne under my jawline and now I can finally feel my skin instead of big, red bumps! I almost lost hope when ProActiv didn't work, but when I tried this product, it was like a miracle. I can now shave without having to worry about slicing my pimples and bleeding a lot. Screw you ProActiv!

Cons:
NOTHING :D

September 29, 2008
Pros:
not expensive, easy to apply
Cons:
slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds, but dont worry its not that bad at alll, it has a wierd odor, but once again, its not that bad
the one thing i dislike the most is the small amount you get. its not a lot at all, so buy in bulk
it works pretty well. ive been using it for a week now and i can see visible difference. i must say that this is NOT for bruises so the user who said his bruise didnt go away..its not for bruises! its for acne scars and acne.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
It DID clear up my skin in 3 days, but it's an exfoliate one so you can't JUST USE THIS ONE or it will make you break out more. I guess the unsatisfied customers didn't know that.
Cons:
Made me a little dry on the nose but I used a moisturizing lotion and it took care of it. Also, like with EVERY exfoliating scrub out there, too much can make you break out more and irritate your skin.
It works great, just use the acne clearing scrub for about a week or week and a half, then go get the clearasil ultra facial soap and switch to that and ONLY USE THE CLEARING SCRUB ONCE A WEEK. I also recommend getting the Clearasil Stay Clear cleansing wipes, I use those at night and my soap in the morning. Aside from small breakouts I get from my period or stress (which are at a whitehead the night they come in or the day after), my skin is clear.
September 15, 2008
Pros:
immediately worked for my bad break out
doesn't irritate my sensitive skin
you can see a difference after the first us
Cons:
none!
I bought the cream wash of this and the scrub came in a little bottle for free. So i started using the scrub at night and the cream in the morning. the scrub does NOT irritate my very sensitive and i swear my face began clearing right after i washed my face with it. it's the first product that continues to work for me my friends use it too and it works for them as well!

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Clears acne, really unclogs pores and removes all makeup, dirt AND oil.
Cons:
Honestly, I can say NONE!
The best acne product I have ever used! (I've used ProActive, AcneFree, Clean and Clear, you name it!) Helps breakouts and blackheads. Overall, it leaves your ACTUAL skin smoother and brighter. And it's much easier to use...just wash your face twice a day!
