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: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Cons:
It's slightly drying if you use it twice a day like I do. However, I live in a cold climate (especially this week), so that might be why. To combat this I bought the matching moisturizer today.
A+.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)

It has an amazing resolution.
It works!

Pros:
Can literally feel the little micro beads cleaning out your pores.
Cons:
REALLY REALLY dries out your skin, especially the area around your eyes such your eye lid.
It gets rid of acne but after a while skin starts peeling off of your skin in flakes. I had to stop using the medication and switch to something else that has a natural moisturizer.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Cleans my face and exfoliates really well without drying out my skin. I use it every night in the shower and it takes off all my makeup too.
Cons:
Once you get about halfway done it starts to get harder to squeeze out of the tube. It also took me quite a while to get use to the smell.
I love it and would recommend it to anyone with dry/sensitive skin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
- Feels good
- Makes your skin feel clean
Cons:
- Didn't do much for my blackheads
It's quite a good product, although It didn't do anything for me. I would recommend that you try it, as it works differently for everyone.

Pros:
Well, this product does leave the skin feeling smooth. The smell is not bad at all, besides you wash it away and don't smell anything after that. It does lighten hyperpigmenation a little bit.
Cons:
It's a small bottle and it is expensive
I'm an African American female, if you want something that gives you a nice exfoliation try it. It's not a mircale cure.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
This stuff was terrible! An absolute nightmare. It made my skin A LOT worse. When I used it, my skin would burn. My skin turned really red. People were asking me if I got sun burnt! Then my skin started to peel. It didn't peel all over, but just in patches. My skin looked awful needless to say. I love Clean & Clear products, but I recommend staying far away from this one. Try the persa-gel instead that has benzoyl peroxide. It is also a spot treatment, but works amazingly!

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Does NOT unclog pores. They really need to put more scrubby beads in it. Not much scrubbing action. But I do use it every day and it cleans my skin and doesn't leave it parched out like all the other salisylic acid cleansers I've used.
October 7, 2006
Product used: Stridex (Maximum Pads with Salicylic Acid, Alcohol Free)
Pros:
Cleared SOME nasty pimples
Cons:
didnt clear half of my skin
Well I used this produce for a week after using proactiv and making my skin worse, its alright it cleared all the big pimples below my nose which was an irritant because im s a stuffy person, and my nos looks a little bit better, but honestly it isnt very affective.
Pros:
I've been using this product for about a week now, and while I can't see any huge difference in the clarity of my skin, it's made my skin incredibly supple and soft.
