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:
No noticeable change in acne within a week of use.
My friend recommended this product for me and I've been using it for about a week now. There is no noticeable change in clearing of the skin, but hopefully my face will clear as I keep using it. The friend who recommended it has been using it for a month and she's seeing great results!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
It didn't burn or smell bad.
Cons:
It doesn't work too well, it comes in contact with your hands and even if you wash your hands before you use it you have to touch the bottle so it puts oil back in your skin.
Don't use it because it sucks and isnt worth the money.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
It makes your face feel really clean.
Clears up acne.
Cons:
It takes about over a month to work, but it's worth it.
I started using this product and noticed my face just got worse! So I stop using it and went back to my regular stuff. My mom and I went to a facial party that was for arbonne. I talked to the lady about their product and she said that is works from the inside out so you won't see results at the very beginning. So I toke her word for it and am now using their product again. Let me tell you works wonders!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Reduced the size of my pimples
Cons:
Dries out your skin, the price is too high, it kind of smells, and it BURNS!!!
Remember this is a spot treatment, so don't use on your whole face.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
It really evened out my skin tone and made my skin baby soft. It cleared up my mild acne fairly quickly. The Clearn Complexion Correcting Treatment is helping to get rid of the marks my acne has left behind.
Cons:
I have not personally experienced anything bad with this product.
Aveeno's products are much gentler, and I think that really helped because other harsher products only irritated my skin more. I love this product and I feel it gets the job done for me.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Smells awesome and is a nice scrub!
Cons:
Can sometimes scratch too hard if you are too vigorous, leaving a red mark.
Totally great smell and I love it. I noticed that it really works well with guys because all my guy friends have it and they are clear. Try and be gentile or you will damage the skin.

Product used: Biore (Blemish Treating Astringent)
Pros:
Doesnt leave weird blotchy marks on my skin (i have sensitive skin), no dry patches, makes my skin feel VERY clean and clear, and tightens the skin, very affordable
Cons:
if used too much, can dry out skin...use only twice a day, doesnt treat big pimples immediately but really prevents them
I looooveeee biore products, and this one is AMAZING ive had no problems and i always follow up with olay moisturizer just in case and it leaves my skin really clear...no great for on the spot treatment but it isnt oily or gross and smells really good...i personally like their blemish fighting ice cleanser better but both work realllyy good. i had sooo much skin trouble from neutrogena, it was terrible and left my entire face peeling and flaky so im sticking to biore :D

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash 60 Second Mask Scrub)
Pros:
Good product and worth your money. Leaving a very nice and fresh feeling afterward. No irritation or making it worse. Have great improvement since I used this.
Cons:
non.
This is a very good scrub. Been using it for almost 2 months ,3-4 times a week.
Its a very smooth scrub ,wich you use it as a mask first and then massage it off. Had no irritated skin when I first used this.
I have oily/mixed sensitve skin ,but this has only helped me improving my entire face.
Nice smell and good texture. Cost less than other brand scrubs ,but also last 2x longer too!

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
I like this product because i have seen a tremendous difference in my complexion. My acne is also clearing up.
Cons:
None really
The foaming cleanser works really great with the velocity mosturizer(a marykay product). I wash my face 2 to 3 times a day and I can see the difference in my complexion. My skin tone is also more even.
Pros:
This product made my skin feel super soft after 3 days of using! It gently exfoliates your skin with the scrubbers in it and the fragrance isn't half bad either.
