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: Clearasil (Rapid Action Treatment Gel)
Pros:
It's a gel, so it doesn't dry out as fast as a cream would when you try to apply it
Works with all skin types, particularly people who don't have a very oily face
Cons:
Contains 2% salicylic acid...which, as those of us with really oily skin know, means that it doesn't do crap
Clearasil claims for this product that it can reduce pimple size and redness in as little as 4 hours...yeah, that's a lie
If you only get a little bit of acne, then I would say that this product may work for you (and that's if you get really light acne). If your acne is worse than moderate, don't waste your time with this, it will do nothing for you.
June 21, 2012
Pros:
Gets rid of redness really quickly
Can be used as a mask or a face wash
Has salicylic acid, but also has ingredients that calm redness and irritation down
Great for if you just popped a zit and you have to go do something
Cons:
None! Or at least none that I have experienced
This product is great if you have redness or irritation on your face or if you just want something that can help to get rid of your zits. It not only calms redness and treats zits with salicylic acid, but it mildly moisturizes.

Pros:
Helps redness of face
Cons:
Doesn't get rid of acne
This product for me works for like 2 weeks then stops. Over those 2 weeks though, my face does get less red and acne also, and acne slightly goes away. After it just stops working.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
-It reduced the size, but only with the first use
-It doesn't smell bad
-It doesn't sting at all
Cons:
-It made the acne more red than before
-Didn't work very well
-Made my face dry
I am fourteen and I used to only get one or two pimples on my nose, but recently I have had breakouts on my nose, the right side of my mouth, and especially my forehead. My mom went out and bought me the clean and clear acne spot treatment and I followed the directions, but it did not do much of anything to get rid of the acne. This stuff dried out my face on the right side of my mouth and made my forehead and nose really oily and red. I had really high hopes for this, but it did not work very well at all. I do admit though that the acne on my forehead did reduce in size.

Pros:

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Action Pads)
Pros:
helps with oiliness
Cons:
makes skin red & itchy
does not help overall acne
stings
causes discoloration if used twice a day
I've used this product for quiet awhile, I feel that if you have maybe 1 or 2 zits occasionally, this would be good for you, but if you have actual acne, this is probably the worst product you can try.
I would not recommend this to a friend, I think that this is great if you have maybe a small zit, but overall, it's not very helpful. This product did not work for me.
