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:
the commercials lied, its not an over night kind of thing.
don't expect it to work RIGHT AWAY... i've been putting it on for the past 2 days. and for some reason, still there, a bit bigger& redder. makes no sence.
July 7, 2009
Pros:
It did make my skin feel clean, removed make-up.
Cons:
I never felt like it worked, my face never really cleared up.
I mostly used this product for about a year, and honestly I felt like it was a waste of time. My skin never really improved or cleared up at all while using it. In fact, over the past year my acne has gotten worse, with my cysts getting bigger. Now that's not entirely Neutrogena's fault, but it should have alleviated some of the smaller zits, which it didn't.

Pros:
I really like this product. It makes my face feel smooth and clean.

No one seems to carry it anymore. Does anyone know where i can find it?
I totally recommend this product. It works so well, that my sister-in-law uses it and now i am almost out and can't find it anywhere.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
- It Smells Nice
- Has a cooling effect when u first use it
- Smooths on well
Cons:
After using it for about a week, the cooling sensation goes away. I dunno if it exfoliates?
Its a good moisturizer... but not the best.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser)
Pros:
Reduces acne very quickly (in a matter of days).
Cons:
It doesn't completely get rid of my acne - I still get breakouts often, but they are usually small and not so noticeable. Also, this product really dries out my skin if I don't moisturize.
I have fairly sensitive skin and have had no luck with products containing Benzoyl Peroxide. I've tried a lot of over-the-counter cleansers, but this is the only thing that really makes a dent in my acne. I'm still looking to find a more effective product, but all in all I don't have many complaints. Also, some have complained about the smell, but it doesn't bother me a bit.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
The spot treatment works really well for me. When I use Dan's regimen with this spot treatment I rarely get new zits. However, when I see one starting to form I use this spot treatment and it will clear up the zit in 2-3 days or less.
Cons:
Don't use all of the products in this line because it will over-irritate you.
When used as a spot treatment it is useful and efficient at clearing zits.

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
Burt's Bees Body Wash finally cleared up my back. Tetracycline, 3 rounds of Accutane, various soaps, this finally cleared up my back and chest.
Cons:
None that I can think of.
It is still a good body wash even if it does not help your acne, if you don't have a reaction.

NONE.
My favorite products ! i use the soaps, lotion, facial products, shampoo and conditioners, and lip balms.

Product used: L'Oreal (Acne Response Kit)
Pros:
cleared my skin up very quickly. now I have 0 pimples~!
Cons:
the BP flakes. so I only use it at night
worth it. I have tried everything over the counter and had almost given up, but this really worked wonders!
Pros:
it works, but not right away. takes more than just a day or two to notice a difference.
