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 (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
I loved how well it disappeared into my skin, and it doesn't leave behind a residue or slick my skin with grease, either.
Cons:
None, yet
Love it, would recomend it to people who have very light acne with combination skin.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Nice scent, light products, easy to use and not harsh on skin like some acne products.
Cons:
Worked fairly well for me at controlling regular breakouts, but hormonal breakouts still occurred.
I think some people respond to Benzoyl Peroxide and some people respond to Salycilic Acid. These products have Salycilic acid. I personally have better reslts with Benzoyl Peroxide. My solution was to use the RE9 skincare (anti-aging) through Arbonne and add in a daily benzoyl peroxide step. I am incredibly pleased!!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Makes your skin softer, definitely.
Cons:
my blackheads turned into horrible patches of little pimples, which i expect to start turning red and getting disqusting in the next 24 hourds.
Dont use this product unless you have less than 20 blackheads. And thats ALL you have. I'm going back to neutrogena oil free facewash.

Product used: Neutrogena (Deep Clean Astringent, Oil-Free)
Pros:
Seemed to reduce oil and make blemishes smaller
Cons:
Stings like a B*$&#!!! Irritates the crap out of my skin, causes redness and dries it out.
Seemed to work OK the three or four times I used as far as reducing oil and blemishes it but it stung and irritated my skin so bad I stopped using it. Witch hazel works MUCH better. Very gentle and much better results.
