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: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Cons:
Had to use a lot each time I used it so it ran out a bit fast and maybe it's just my area but they're hard to find.
It definitely works.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
smells ok?
Cons:
leave skin really dry
I was searching for the Neutrogena for men Acne Face Wash and didnt found it (because they had changed the look of the bottle), so I bought this because it has the same "specs". I know Salicylic can make the skin a bit dry but this cleanser is really worse than the neutrogena one. The week I used it, small bumps apparead all over my face... I gave it a try for 1 week and then to the garbage. Just dont buy it.

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel)
It cleared a terrible papule/cyst once or twice. Then my skin plateaued. Now it's about as affective as anything else really. Which is to say it's pretty useless. I recommend trying one or two bottles of it. Anything more, it will lose it's potentcy as anohter user has stated before.

Pros:
smells nice, nice tube
Cons:
it dries the crud out of your skin
my bottle seems to be runny, so i always have to flip the tube over and then open it, or else the product just runs through the opening. it does keep my pimples under control, but it DRIES THE CRUD OUT OF YOUR SKIN!!

Pros:
The only thing good is that it kinda makes my skin softer and smoother
Cons:
You have to use it for a LOOOOOONG time
I have been using this product for a while (about a month) and i still dont see my acne marks fading. On the other hand it did make my face smoother ... but thats about it. Since i pick on my acne i get stuck with the marks that fallow :/

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
it gets rid of oil, but it really dries out the skin. for the first week, i used it once a day. then i used it twice a day and my skin got really dry and unbearably itchy. ive gone back to using it only once a day and theres no problems with dryness and it still works great. i still get breakouts but it helps keep them small.

Pros:
Makes skin feel smoother
Cons:
You have to stick with it for a while to see a little results
I've used it for a while it helped with red areas but not really with the darkening from all those products

Product used: Oxy (Balance Maximum Deep Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
Clears up skin.
Cons:
Not the best smell in the world. It smells really medicated.
I have used many products on my skin from average prices to expensive prices and so far oxy pads have by far worked the best. I never would have thought of using Oxy Pads but I read some really good reviews on other websites so decided to give it a shot. I'm in my 20's and now have completely clear skin! I no longer have oily skin even in my T-Zone. I have given up wearing make up on my face, I now only put on mascara and lip gloss. I have been using this product for the last 4 months so the real test will come in the summer, that's always been when I have broken out the most, but so far so good.
Pros:
My acne cleared up just a little bit. It cleared up a lot when I added it into that regimen thing. And I like how my skin feels after I use it.
