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: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
not many
Cons:
didn't work.
This stuff is like anything else. It doesn't do anything!
BUT... i have found something that works amazingly well!
LEMON JUICE!
I kid you not, it is the miracle cure. I squeeze the juice from a fresh cut lemon (not bottled juice) and apply it to my back, face, and chest in the morning and at night. It cleared my back acne OVER NIGHT!
I was astounded.
Try it!! You have nothing to lose! It may take a few days, but its only like 75 cents for a lemon right?

Pros:
Smells good, works fast, noticeable results quick
Cons:
The Benzoyl Peroxide was a bit strong the first few times I used it
I dont have bad acne, I guess I have moderate. I'm 28 and thought it was a phase I was going through when I was younger but here I am, still with pimples. I tried Pro Activ and Murad prior to this. Pro Activ gave me what looked like sunburn all over my face and my eyes swelled up. Murad was by far the worst, my face broke out so bad, make up couldnt cover the zits. I bought Clean & Clear at Walmart for $17.70 and let me tell you, it was the best $18 I could have spent. My face was noticeably clearer the first day I used it. The Benzoyl Peroxide was strong and my face started turning red, so I used it only once a day until my face adjusted and now am back at twice a day. I love this product and my skin looks amazing, it's worth a try, even if it doesnt work, it's only $20!

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
It's great and i just love it.The exfoliating gel leaves my skin tingly and clean and helps remove black heads. also, i love the tone my skin enjoys thanks to the moisturizer.My pores have visibly reduced and so have my pimples.
Cons:
I CAN'T FIND THE EXFOLIATING GEL ANYWHERE!!! The product is so scarce and i wonder why that is so since it's obviously such a hit.
I'd rely on my 3 step Pure Zone program anytime and any day.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
it feels nice and soft, isn't too harsh on the skin. smells nice and fragrant. got rid of quite a few of my pimples.
Cons:
doesn't really 'clean'. i have to use a scrub once a week to get my pores cleared out.
buy it. :D
March 22, 2008
Pros:
Does not dry out the skin surrounding blemishes, helps soothe really irritated skin, smells much better than other types of treatments.
Cons:
Needs mulitple applications daily to be most effective, leaves oily skin really shiny- especially in warmer weather.
A decent treatment, but most effective when paired with the scrub from the same line.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
none
Cons:
It didnt work, I have used it for 8 weeks plus and it has not made my acne better. If anything, It has made it worse and my acne is in area where it was not before. Like my jaw line and around my mouth. This product was a horrible mistake.
It didnt work. I mean there is so much more out there and this made my acne worse. Didnt help in any aspect at all.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Definitely smells good.
Cons:
Takes a long time.
It takes a long time because the acne system is fighting the causes of your blemishes i.e. oil and bacteria. Be patient. My daughter has a few blemishes on her forehead but below the temples, she has beautiful skin. My other daughter has beautiful skin above the temples, but below, has blemishes along the jaw line. It's not like they wake up asking for a few more pimples. They have been consistent and I hope to see their blemishes cleared in about 45 days.
Pros:
I really like the smell! The first day it made my skin really red. But it helped a lot! Even on the bigger bumps. Its been about a week and I haven't got any new pimples.
