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.

Cons:
Money and time down the drain
You might as well wash your face with toilet water; it's quicker and cheaper

Product used: Clearasil (Maximum Strength Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
For me, this had been a dream product. I know, from reading the reviews that it does not work for everyone. I am 40, have adult acne (and perhaps a touch of rosacea as well, not quite certain).
Cons:
For me, none. The scent does not bother me, though I can tell from these reviews that it bothers some users.
I have been using this product for several weeks. I have sensitive skin and adult acne that worsens at certain times of the month, due to hormonal fluctuations. I have been very, very pleased thus far. I use it exactly as directed, which may be contributing to my success with the product.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I find it works really well. I have moderate acne and after I started using the cleanser It cleared up almost completely. Mind you, I still have a bit left, but nothing like I used to. I use it once a day, at night when I shower.
Cons:
It took almost 2 weeks to start working and at first it really made my skin dry. I now use a Nivea moisturizer at night and it cleared up the dryness within a few days.
It works well enough. Its definately worth the money.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
none
Do not buy this product!!!! After the second day of use my face was covered in tiny bumps like goosepimples. My skin was taut and inflamed particularly under my nose and chin. My eyelids also became swollen. A total nightmare!!!!

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Cleans your face
Cons:
Doesnt work: My acne got worse, Ive been using more than 2 weeks, 3 times a day!
Im telling all my friends to never use this piece of crap. It doesnt work, its expensive, and it leaves your face sticky, and when you lay down on your pillow it feels like its real humid outside and so awful! Im switching to Proactive, or something else, besides this lying piece of crap.

Smells good.

October 5, 2007
Pros:
it makes your skin smoother
Cons:
It didn't get rid of my acne
I like this product because it does help make skin softer,and doesn't irritate my acne like other scrubs, hovever it doesn't get rid of acne on it's own. If used with other products it is helpful for smoothness.

Pros:
Drawing a blank
