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:
* kinda expensive for the amount you get but I'll never buy anything else! It's awesome
For 7 bucks your getting more then ur money's worth. I have mild acne and sometimes it's breakout after breakout but this stuff has stopped them. I've only been on it for a week or so but it has completely cleared upy skin except for a occasional pimple. And Im one of those people who has tried everything and everything over and over and nothig works. This stuff has totally surprised me and I'm so happy I finally found something that gets rid of my pimples fast and hopefully forever!

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser)
Pros:
leaves skin feeling clean and soft
cleared up acne within 2 months
works well with oily skin
love the texture of the cream cleanser
smell isnt to bad
Cons:
didnt help prevent new acne from forming as well as i'd like
i think this product works well but would be best for people with light to moderate acne versus people like me who have moderately severe-severe acne.

Pros:
cleared acne fast
inexpensive
Cons:
needs to be used consistently
I've been using this product for about 10 months and I would never use anything else. Cleared my skin within a few days, and I rarely get any blemishes now.

I used to be so embaressed to take off my shirt at school because of the hideous red zits all over my chest, back, and arms.... and other areas...
WITHIN 2 WASHES, I noticed that I had ZERO acne on my shoulders back and chest, and i had only one pimple in an area covered by clothes, hahahaha.
YES! It is a perfect product.

Product used: DermaDoctor (Ain't Misbehavin' Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
cheap only 25 dollars and it lasts two and a half months
good cleanser
doesn't need an acne treatment gel
Cons:
need to get rid of the makeup before
This is the best cleanser I have seen, and I have tried everything, clinique, pro-active,acne aid, accutane.. all of them.
also you need to get rid of the makeup before and be aware that it doesn't need water, first massage your face without water and then , rinse with lukewarm water. It needs almost a week to see results. This is specially good for peope in his 20 and 30.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
leaves skin soft
Cons:
smells like boy cologne
i've had a hard time finding a good facial scrub that helps with acne. ive sampled other products and this is my favorite..i noticed if i use it for a long while and stop, my acne flairs up terribly. i have oily skin, so this doesnt dry me out as i pair it with stridex facial wipes and im ok. it doesnt help with acne scars at all though.

Product used: La Roche-Posay (Effaclar K)
Pros:
- Gentle; didn't sting
- Helped control oiliness
Cons:
- Expensive
- Takes a while to get absorbed
- Did not make much of a difference to imperfections
It was generally a waste of money as it didn't do much to help the condition of my acne. Although it did help to make my skin a bit less oily. Also, I have sensitive skin and it didn't cause any sort of reaction or dryness, which is good. I think this product is worth a try if you are willing to spend the money on it, and also if your acne severity is only very light to perhaps moderate. Good luck! :)

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
Clears acne on your chest, back, and shoulders
Rich lather
Exfoliating beads
Smells and feels nice on skin
Cons:
Dryness
Hard to out of bottle
I would definitely recommend this product to any of my close friends/family. It feels really nice and refreshing when you step out of the shower. The only thing is, only put the product wherever you are prone to breakouts. When I say this, I mean, do not put this product anywhere near your groin area, it makes that area extremely dry and flaky.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
Smells great
Cleans face thoroughly
Cons:
None
Bottom line is, it's a face wash. It's supposed to clean your face, which it does. It is not a medicated treatment. It will not clear your acne, nor does it promise to. I wish people would educate themselves more before spending their money on products. This is a good face wash.

Product used: Philosophy (Clear Days Ahead Kit)
Pros:
Doesn't bleach clothes, towels, etc.
Feels good - made skin feel smooth
Cons:
Slightly Drying
Takes too long to get rid of whiteheads
Doesn't clear up all acne
I bought the trial kit from Sephora for around $35. I used it for about 3 weeks, with little to no change in my acne. The retinol seemed to dry my face, so I used Cetaphil lotion on top of the system. Yet I decided to keep trying the system and purchased the larger kit for $65. Ugh, but that was a mistake - my face didn't get any clearer. I wouldn't recommend this system for those with moderate to severe acne. It probably works for someone with light acne.
Pros:
*is definitely fast acting(overnight for me
* didn't dry out or irritate my skin
* my acne Is practically gone!!!
* doesn't lie when it says stops acne before it starts I haven't had any breakouts
