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: Philosophy (Clear Days Ahead Kit)
Pros:
nothing, the face wash may have worked a little

face wash stinks, the serum sucks cuz you cant wear make up over it, and everything didnt work, after 3 weeks i left the remaing stuff under my bed and just used the face wash
not worth the price

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
Medicated (salicylic acid), smells good, non-greasy and doesnot clog pores
Cons:
very very pricey-but does last long.
This worked well as a night cream which I used in conjunction with a salicylic acid treatment cream and cleanser. It smells good and can actually be used daily. but as it doesnot contain any spf it is best used only at night. for acne skin which needs to be cleaned and treated it can cause dryness that could cause peeling- so a good option is to use a medicated night cream. this is a very good place to start. although frequent use can cause some build-up so need to cleanse face very well before and later in the morning. for very oily skin this moisturiser may not be necesary but is a good option.
Would certainly recommend this product but I am presently looking for better ones which are easier on the purse.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash 60 Second Mask Scrub)
Pros:
Refreshing, gave me consistantly clear skin, affordable, and until recently, easy to find.
Cons:
Cannot find this stuff anywhere anymore!
I never had terrible skin, but at 30 years old, I was still breaking out in pimples and dry patches. Since discovering this stuff, my skin stayed consistantly clear, smooth and free of weird dry patches or killer zitz. And its incredibly refreshing and is great in the morning as a wake up!

Smells pretty good. The advertising lured me into buying it due to the 8 hr claim to reduce redness and breakouts..It doesnt sting
Cons:
small tube for 11 dollars..
it did not work at all for me and instead made my acne worse

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Really helped finish off my acne that was left over from cysts on my cheeks. REALLY good smell. Does not dry out your skin if you use a moisturizer right after washing your face. Leaves your face feeling tingly clean and it stops oil.
Cons:
Its a little pricey.
Amazing cleanser that DOES NOT make your acne worse before it gets better.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash 60 Second Mask Scrub)
Pros:
Affordable and refreshing.
Cons:
No longer in stock in many places.
I had very stubborn moderate acne a few years ago and was on several prescription medications that started to clear me up, but not totally. This was the only product that worked to get rid of all of it. I've since switched up my regimen and the acne came back, but I think I'll try this again since I had such success before.
