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:
cleans...?
Cons:
doesn't really do more than basic cleansing
Eh...I don't think Neutrogena likes me...I NEVER have success with their products. This was very basic and just felt like regular soap. Didn't help my back or chest at all. I went through two bottles of this stuff...and...nada.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash, Pink Grapefruit)
Pros:
Its Smells wonderful!
Go's on as a nice lather
Cleanses Face really well
Makes your face tingle (in a good way)
Cons:
The Scent may be to harsh for sensitive skin
Doesn't help breakouts
Not very big bottle
The product is great if you just want a cleanser that smells great, go's on as a very nice lather, takes excess oil off (since its oil-free) and just makes you feel squeaky clean and tingly. But if you need it to care of acne i wouldnt recommend it, just because if you have sensitive skin it may irritate your skin, and the scent may be to harsh. But if you just want a good cleanser i would highly recommend it!

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Smells good, and i really works for my skin. my skin doesn't dry out and it feels smooth and clear. Arbonne is amazing!!
Cons:
Doesn't really help with acne scars.
It really works. I highly recommend this product! When i frist tried it, a friend had given me some wash and toner to try. and after about 3 days, i couldn't believe the improvement that had come to my face!! is reduced the redness and the swelling, and left my skin feeling fresh and smooth. after about a week, i only have a few pimples on my forehead and nose. i haven't seen any improvement in the scars, but other than that Arbonne is the best thing that i have ever used!!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Cons:
Stings for a couple seconds when you first apply it to the pimple.
Sometimes doesn't work.
This product seems to take away the soreness and pain so that you can pop the pimple easier. Sometimes it will even bring the white-head to the surface to make it easier to get. This product contains 2% Salicylic Acid.

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
clears up back zits
Cons:
none
This worked for me. I hardly ever get zits on my back anymore. I did read in a magazine that you should lather up with a loofah, apply it to your back and leave it on for ATLEAST 3 minutes!!! For me, I just leave it on the time I have conditioner in my hair and stand with my back away from the shower during that time. Once I started doing that, bacne was a thing of the past. (Give it a few weeks though)

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
Initially made my skin feel clean but not dry (healthy) and it's organic
Cons:
Made my skin terribly oily and after about a week of using it, many patches of whiteheads formed on my face
Not really worth it, I bought the burts bees acne solutions line because I believed it would be healthy for my skin but really just made it extremely oily and break out. The moisturizer seemed to be the worst as it was not light at all and didn't smell great.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Gentle Formula)
Pros:
Proactive Regular Formula
Works wonders on preventing acne and inflamed pimples
Cons:
Does not work too well on older pimples underneath skin
Both my teenage daughter and I are using the Proactive and it works better than anything else I've ever tried. I am in my 40s and still get hormonal or stress-related breakouts, if I don't use something to prevent them. I would give it 2 thumbs up -- make that 4 thumbs, my daughter's as well...

Product used: La Roche-Posay (Effaclar K)
Pros:
Controls oil and prevent acne. It works
Cons:
Seems that the acne comes back when stop usage.
I wear a lot of make up, this product helps to clear the pores, makes the skin looks healthier and prevents acne from forming. But, I still do have the occasional one/two huge zits. To combat this, I use Effaclar A.I as a spot treatment. The acne seems to die down the next day or two. The two products works well together. I also use Oil of Olay moisturer after. Probably, the only product that works on my skin. Try it.
Pros:
none
