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 (Oil-Free Acne Wash 60 Second Mask Scrub)
Pros:
Face feels clean, zits reduced significantly, in size and number.
Cons:
No cons so far.
My skin is pretty oily, so my face never dries. It worked very well for me. I hope it gets rid of the acne marks more quickly, too. I'm not a scar-former; these are just discolorations, and Oil-free acne wash didn't cause them; other stuff did.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
I got it on sale.
Cons:
I found it was expensive for what you get. I caused my skin to break out, a lot. My face became oily and I had huge pimples break out all over.
I used the moisturizer also. The wash and moisturizer are the only ones available in Canada (like 5 other clear complexion products available in the US). I am really curious why... maybe banned by Health Canada? Anyways, my skin had been fairly good, probably the best in years, but after Aveeno (used twice a day), it's a huge mess. Don't ruin your skin. Luckily, I now use VICHY NORMADERM. It's quite expensive, but well worth the money. Aveeno is aweful.

Product used: Clearasil (Maximum Strength Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
This stuff is amazing! AND SO EASY! just wipe on ur face and leave it. I've tried everything from Proactiv, Clinique 3 step, benzoyl peroxide cream, neutrogena acne wash - my face is finally acne free from these easy to use wipes!!
Cons:
NONE!
I know you used to use this when you were 13 and it didn't work, burned ur sensitive skin, made ur skin flaky but I was desperate and tried it again - maybe ur skin gets touger as you try a million things over the years...but seriously...it really does work. I started with once a day with moisturizer - now a few times a day and no moisturizer.

I've been using this product for about 3 months now and my acne is the same. It doesn't do anything for it. If you want a facial cleanser that just cleans then this will work. It's absolutely useless when it comes to breakouts. Plus, the pump broke after about two uses. I had to switch the cleanser to a different bottle and make the foam myself.

I've been using it for about 2 weeks and It seems like its working pretty good. I leave it on for longer than 10 mins though and I use it 4-5 times a week.

I picked this up because it was on sale for 3 bucks. My acne had gotten really really bad to the point where I didn't even want to leave my room anymore. My face is almost clear now and the menthol really makes your face feel refreshed and glowing. i recommend this to everyone.
Pros:
None, acne is still present
