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: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Control Cleanser)
Terrible
Pros:
None
Cons:
Burning
Tiny, clustered pimples all over nose and mouth
Itchy and Painful
I have been using Steps 1 - 3 Advantage Clean & Clear for 2 days Followed the instructions clearly and today i woke up to tiny blister-like pimples all around my mouth area and nose. My face is very itchy, red and painful. It also feels extremely tight. I have moderate acne - Don't recommend this product at all. The bin is waiting in open arms for this kit.

it could work for you, but it just didnt work out for me

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
smells nice
Cons:
doesn't work, too expensive. I used it when my acne was moderate (as opposed to severe). I didn't feel any benefit when I used it, and it seemed harsh (which is not what I'd expect from an expensive, "natural" product).
don't bother

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Little product is needed in order to work up a good lather
Leaves skin feeling smooth
Removes make-up easily
Cons:
Does not help much with acne
Can be drying
I have been using this product for years, and I really do like it. I prefer using it during the summer months because it is a bit drying, I make sure to always follow up with a moisturizer! It leaves your skin feeling nice and clean, but does little to help acne. If used in conjunction with other acne products (such as benzoyl peroxide) you would have better results.

Product used: SkinCeuticals (Blemish + Age Defense)
Pros:
This stuff works!! I have been using it morning and night and the improvement in my skin is amazing. This stuff kills the bacteria and stops the spread across your face. Use with the cleanser and toner and you will not look back
Cons:
Can dry your skin out a little and stings a little on application
I had severe acne, and this stuff helped clear up my skin. it has stopped the spread of acne on my face. i can face the world again. It does dry your skin out a little but it is totally worth it. Make sure you have a good water based moisturiser

Product used: Dermalogica (Clean Start)
Pros:
It works really well on me...i have dry and oily skin. All i have to do is use it twice and it has almost dissapeared.
Cons:
There is alot of medicines to keep track of and it could be VERY confusing. It makes my face red after i use it and on open acne it can burn.
Clean Start really does work on your face but just try to keep them all in tacked and you have to use them as directed or it wont work as quick.

Product used: Biore (Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser)
Pros:
Smells great
Makes your skin feel refreshed
Cons:
Drys out skin
Made me break out worse
Burns
If you have breakouts not very often, I reccomend it. If you're looking for something to clear your face, this isn't it.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
-works effectively
-diminishes the breakout in 1-2 days
-good for little breakouts
Cons:
-stings a little, but nothing unbearable
-if you try using another product on top, it flakes so do your normal skincare before the spot treatment
Great product for a drugstore product. Definitely recommend this to anyone with light/minimal acne, for cystic acne, you might need something stronger.
Pros:
Clears acne
short time
smells great
