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: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)

like someone else said, there could be more beads, but its a daily exfoliant and my skin really needs that.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
I like the Toner and the vitamins
Cons:
It does make my acne more worst.
I have aquired acne with medications i am taking and this didn't work well, it does take a long time for it to kick it. I really like the toner though, I have really really oily skin, you could fry some fries from it. JK. I like the vitamins only b/c it makes my hair and nails grow fast.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
It works really well to remove oil, leaves my skin feeling very clean but dry. A good moisturizer is an asset. I survived my monthly cycle without a flare up, well done!
Cons:
About once a week I have to exfolliate something fierce!
Use it. Its antibacterial and can help lesson the breakouts. I use this AND I quit touching my face with my hands while doing paper work at the office and its helping :)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Smells great. Works fast. It has a tingling burn a little but i kind of like the feeling...people are bein dramatic when they say it burns really bad, and as a woman of color, i dont get left with red spots on my face as many people on here claim it
Cons:
U have to use it 2 to 3 times a day wich can dry out your skin.
It does work, so stop bein cheap and by the whole kit instead of just the SPOT treatment! I got the acne wash moisturizer and spot treatmeant for $19.99 at publix.

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel)
Pros:
no side effects.
made my pimple hurt less!
Cons:
it really did nothing except make me feel like my pimple was less red because the clear film makes your zit look BRIGHT red and once you wash it off 8 hours later you feel relieaved that your pimple is not that bad.
didn't work. 8 hours my butt. it really didn't work for me. it's clear which is good and you only need a little, but it makes you wanna itch it off and you really have to apply it at night unless your staying home for 8 hours straight. my roomate swears by it though and it does wonders for her. i wouldn't reccomend it, but it didn't cost much and there's no side effects, so if you like salycilic acid products, I say try it!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
This is a great product.I saw results in the first HOUR! The first day it stings on your skin,but as the next day comes you feel nothing but smooth skin.
Cons:
I truely thought the original Clean & Clear was the best.
This product is expensive but so worth it! It works better than Proactiv in my opinion.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It only made my small bumps go away over a few hours.
Cons:
The product did not work on larger bumps, which was covered my face more than the small bumps.
The product didn't work well on me. But, I wouldn't completely knock it. I think that you should try it if you have acne because what works for some people does not work for others. Its been nearly a month since I tried the product and my acne is almost gone after having severe acne since mid December. I haven't put anything on my face, so it is healing up all by itself without the use of medication. All I do is wash my face in the morning and night. You might want to think about whether or not you really need to use medication. I personally know that I have better skin when I don't use any medication at all and just let my skin heal by itself. Although the medications did work a little my face healed much faster without its use.

Product used: Neutrogena (Deep Clean Astringent, Oil-Free)
Pros:
It worked fine at first and got rid of my blemishes!
Cons:
I was so distressed though when if found that my skin was starting to get dry and irritated and after I used it my skin got red and makes my skin tight!>.<
It was fine for a while and may work for some peoople, but definatly NOT for me!

Product used: Dermafina (Clear Skin Acne System)
Pros:
Amazing product. This was the only system that ever worked for me. It cleared my skin in less than a week and I have no idea why they would take it off the market.
Cons:
You can't buy it anymore
I first found this product in 2003 at walgreens and it was my senior year in highschool. It was a god send for me because I was able to be confident enough to enjoy my senior year. It was soon after discontinued. I bought it a few times on ebay but now I can never find it. Does anyone know of anything comparable? This was the only system that ever worked for me! I refuse to go back on accutane and nothing else works!
Pros:
smells amazing and keeps my skin moisturized and healthy looking
