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 Spot Treatment)
Cons:
Slightly stings if you have an open blemish (it's tolerable)
It worked for me and I have fairly clear skin, I only break out here and there with a pimple or two and this product is like a "quick fix" for me. I keep it with me in my bag in case i feel a blemish coming.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Did reduce size of zit quickly, but not all the way
Cons:
Yeah sure it makes it smaller, then it just makes dry spots around the spot where you apply it.
It's not a bad product, but theres better out there.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
it works great, you don't need a lot so it lasts a long time! Also, it's very affordable.
Cons:
The fact that I cant find it anymore! Biggest con ever!!! For a long time I had an acne problem and this was the only product that worked for me. Other con might be for me is if I didnt use both then I had the chance of a breakout.
Because I can't find this product even to this day I had to find an alternative. I started using the Apricot Scrub for any dead skin and to smooth out my skin. Also, I was scared to switch too much out of my Loreal Product comfort zone so I went with the Pink LOreal Toner. It actually worked out great. Seems the toner is the key to not having breakouts. So for anyone out there who wants an alternative, try those two. St. Ives invigorating scrub and loreal pink toner. My brother, mom, and myself used this product and would buy out that whole shelf when they started selling out of it or not stocking it anymore and now I can't find it. I refuse with a new baby to pay anymore than a shelf price for this product especially with THIS economy. PLEASE PUT THIS BACK ON SHELFS!!!!

one of the worst moisturizers ever! it made my skin very itchy and caused little bumps! & it does NOT TREAT YOUR PIMPLES OR ACNE!!!! IT MAKES IT WORSE. well at least it didn't treat mine. if this product works for you i am very glad, but if it doesn't find one that does:) because I'm working on it:).

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
dries up pimples fast and is 100% natural
Cons:
the smell and hard to apply
I've been using the Burt's Bees Natural acne solutions spot treatment. The first and most important thing I have to mention is the smell. It smells soooo bad! The first time I used it I gagged, since then I have learned to just hold my breath until it dries on my face. It's like a combination of black licorice and dirt. I decided to suffer through the smell for atleast a weeks though because I have heard so many good things about using natural products. If I dont see a big improvement in my skin in the next few days I don't think I will be able to suffer through the smell. Also, application isn't easy. It's liquid so you cant just put it on your finger and apply. I've been using a cotton cosmetic pad, but you waste a lot doing that because it soaks in to the pad.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
This stuff really works on my skin. So does the cream that your supposed to use with it. It takes awhile for it to work but it works way better than the new Epiduo stuff they have out.
This works great on people who have very light to moderate acne. For people with servere acne I would probably recommend using Epiduo gel. I used it and it made my skin burn and made it all senstive but for people with servere acne it would probably work better. Even though it takes about a week or so to start working its worth it in the end:)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Cleared skin, faded blemishes a little, smells alright not overbearing, definitely improved skin on first day use, easy to get don't have to wait for it to be mailed just go to walmart or local drugstore
Cons:
Strong, not for everyone so don't get mad if it doesn't work for you because you may be allergic to it.
The only way to really make acne and skin better is to use one product or system consistently. Also drink water it really is good for the skin. (I used the Clean and Clear System.) Also I've heard a few times that if over a course of time of 6 months (plus) of using a product you will see great results (I know i have and still do). (Some people have bad results because of allergic reactions but don't even realize it) SO READ THE DIRECTIONS PEOPLE.
