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 Cleanser)
Cons:
Dries out face. Still break out a little, but not much.
I have been using the 3 step system: the cleanser, toner and moisturizer. I have naturally dry skin so it does dry it out pretty bad. The first week I started using it, it seemed like my face almost got worse, but it was bringing out the stuff deep inside my pores. I would say after 3 weeks, I noticed I had less acne. So far it's the first thing I have used that seems to actually work. I do break out occasionally but nothing drastic. Just a couple on my chin mostly.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the product. It does dry my skin out though. I might try just a basic cleanser in the morning instead, so it's not as harsh with the acne medication.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I use the whole advantage kit. It starts working on the first day! Its affordable and available anywhere!
Cons:
I live in a very dry place so i have very dry skin everywhere, but this doesn't dry my skin out too much as long as i use clearasil sensitive skin lotion with it.
Nothing has ever worked for me. I've tried everything from proactive to fasting. Six months ago, I prayed very hard that God would show me the right skin treatment to clear up my embarrassing acne. As I was walking through Walmart, I found your Clean and Clear Acne Advantage and couldn't believe it was bold enough to give a 100% guarantee! I bought it partly to see if this was what God wanted me to use and partly to prove the statement wrong. The first day I noticed my skin clearing up, and by the second month my skin was almost completely clear!! My skin has been completely clear (with the exception of a minor pimple here and there) for six months! I wanted to let everyone know that God has used this to answer my prayers! I am recommending this product to everyone and praising JESUS CHRIST for the amazing miracle! It took 2 months to get fully clear so stick with it! its worth it!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Cleared up my skin within the first few days. The first product I found that my skin actually responds to.
Cons:
When I stopped using it, my skin had a negative reaction almost immediately. I think it grew dependent on the medicine in the cleanser.
It works really well, its inexpensive, and your skin is very responsive. I use it every day, twice a day and it really makes me feel great and exfoliated.

Cons:
burns a little, my zits not go away, much less fade, it smells funny, and was a complete waste of my money.
