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:
wish there were more scrubber beads in the "gentle scrub" kind.
I've been using this for 2 months. My face was very irritated when I started using this--peeling, acne, uneven look. This helped a lot! It did not cure my acne, but my face is so smooth to the touch, no redness, and acne is way reduced! (I use this in the morning with Neutrogena "rapid clear" face lotion. Then at night I wash with Clean & Clear "3 in 1 exfoliating cleanser" with BP, then apply Proactive BP lotion only at night. & Cerave lotion when needed. This has worked better than even the Proactive system & Dan's Regimen for me!)

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash, Pink Grapefruit)
Pros:
I love the smell, It's PINK, It lathers, My face felt clean
Cons:
It really dried out my skin, my face was itchy, It burned when I put lotion on
I would only recomend this if you don't have sensitive skin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
It leaves skin soft, helps to slightly reduce acne
Cons:
caused more acne in areas around the place you put it, like if you had only one pimple and put it on that area that pimple might be gone the next day but there are more surrounding pimples.
I've had mine for a while and haven't ran out. I think this is overal an okay product. After using BP, skin is dry and flaky. This mosturizer makes that area soft and baby smooth. Acne is still there, but your skin is soft. I would use this product combine with others.

Product used: Biore (Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser)
Pros:

Tingles while you wash.
Has really improves my overall skin tone & cleared blemishes.
Controls Oil.
Helps prevent blemishes.
Makes your face feel tight, this could be a con to some but i like the feeling!
Cons:
Can sometimes be drying.
I really like this product. I first got it just to try it out because i try alot of cleansers scrubs.. ect.. you name it i've tried it this is by far my favorite!! I only use it at night because it can be a slightly drying product and i have very oily skin it'll still dry me out if i use it morning and night but i reccomend this to anyone with light acne breakouts. It's not a product for those with severe acne. Hope i helped!! :)

Pros:
-Made my skin soft
-worked for a couple weeks
Cons:
-Worked for a little bit, but after using it for to long it stopped working.
-Makes my skin really oily now
I started using this product when it was around the beginning of December 2010. it worked for a bit but stopped and i started to break out on my chin and i never use to break out on my chin. i also started having large pimples and my skin became more oily. I am still using it because i still have hope but if i don't see progress I'm just going to stop.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
moisturizing
your face feels refreshed
Cons:
doesn't do much about acne
feels oily
It's a pretty good product if you have dry/normal skin. However, if you have some oily skin, you probably don't want to use this product that much.
Pros:
gentle, but deep cleans too, SA reduces acne, less redness, makes skin very smooth!
