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: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Cons:
Toner runs out fast.
Cleanser doesn't exfoliate.
Pricey and has to be through an Arbonne rep. (Annoying!)
It's a good product. 100 times better than Proactive. And it supposedly doesn't have harmful chemicals, but I don't know how true that is.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent)
Pros:
Its gooooooood
Cons:
I cant find it anymore
Buy it. It works like its supposed to. If your a sensitive little sissy with oily skin and bad breath its not for you. But if you want clear skin this will do the trick.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
leaves a very matte finish, fights off oil
Cons:
no spf
This is a great!!! moisturizer. I have used it for several months now. I have oily/combo skin with very minor acne but it helps with my overall complexion. Also, this is one of the only moisturizers that doesn't leave my skin oily and actually feels like its blocking oil from being produced. I have a oily t-zone but with this product, I feel like my t-zone is much less oily. The only problem with this moisturizer is that it doesn't have an SPF and that's why I'm thinking of switching to either their positively radiant or ultra calming line.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Works very well, affordable, face is smooth after use
Cons:
...It doesn't take 3 days
I have a very oily face, so I tried desperately to find a product that affectively worked well for me. I started using Clearasil Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub since the "CLEARER SKIN IN JUST 3 DAYS" caught my eye. Within 5 days of using this stuff, my face broke out to the worst it has ever been. Alas, I kept using it once to twice every day. In just 2 weeks, my blemishes disappeared! Although the advertising is flawed, I do recommend using this product for a few weeks, THEN you will notice a change. I also use the acne clearing scrub with Clearasil's Daily Pore Cleansing Pads at night before bed. I believe within a few weeks of using the two products, you will see a noticeable difference for the better.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Smells great, not harsh on the skin, makes your skin feel great!
Cons:
Did not get rid of my acne, really expensive, have to wait to recieve it from an arbonne rep
I would recommend this line if you do not have severe acne- just a few blemishes here and there. If you have severe acne it acts okay getting rid of pimples but does nothing to help them from reoccuring. It seemed as some cleared up for me others would just reappear and it was really frustrating. I really liked that they gave a oral supplement because acne stems from the inside to the outside. Overall, it did not work for me.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It smell nice and is pretty simple to use.
Cons:
It brought all my acne to the suface and sometimes dried out areas on face.
It get always get worst before it gets better. My skin got really smooth for a couple of days but, then that when the brake outs got worst. Then after skipping a day or two, it started working really good. And now I'm pretty much acne-free. You can't stop using because it looks bad. All it's doing is bring the pimples from under the skin to the surface so that it can fight it better. I just think that the other people here didn't give clean & clear a chance to get better after it got worst.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It smells pleasant, and doesn't sting (for me).
Cons:
It doesn't really do what it claims to do. But I really should have been using a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyle peroixide (considering that i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide, I pretty much had given up at this point).
It's okay if you have VERY light acne... I advise that you just get the spot treatment and the moisturizer.
Pros:
It works! Period! Left my skin radiant and clear! Refreshing smell.
