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.

ok...
The product is pretty soft on the skin but does not work at all

Great addition to a routine !
The addition of this toner into my routine has drastically improved my acne. I get cystic/hormonal acne and healing time has sped up with the addition of this toner.

Not ideal
The issue with body washes is that the active ingredient rinses off before it has had a chance to penetrate the skin.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent)
As expected
Didn't have any particular effects from this (neither positive or negative).
Makes your skin feel fresh for like a minute or two afterwards but that's all.
I like the smell. I'm not sure I would recommend this cause you can find better ones for the same price.

Simply nice get
What I love about this Mary Kay clarifying gel is that is really lighten and whiten my skin. This works magic to me. It balances the white portion of my skin and removed the stains.

Product used: St. Ives (Blemish Control Green Tea Gel Cleanser)
Great
Should not use it during winter seasons because it dries out the skin. When weather is hot though, My skin becomes oilier. Nevertheless, It helps my skin redness and small red bumps. I tried using it as medication for huge inflammations/cysts by putting it with a q-tip and leave it for a while after steaming a face and it works quite well

terrible
worst decision to buy this ever. i only bought because it was cheaper than the actual one and it is definitely worth it's price. i have oily acne prone skin and this made me break out like crazy. i looked terrible and took so long for me to look somewhat decent

Didnt Work
I had read good reviews for this so I tried it out. I had mostly whiteheads. Anyways, after about 3 weeks of trying this, it really did NOTHING for me. As a matter of fact, my breakouts got WORSE and my whiteheads turned to cystic acne and inflamed pimples. I wouldnt recommend this,

Clearasil works soooo much better.
This was the first time I purchased the Oxy brand and never will again. My natural dry skin is now EXTREMELY oily and has began to break out. I also used this wash as a "mask" and it turned my face beat red where I had product applied. Horrible quality and chemicals for the skin.

Not For Sensitive Skin
I never considered myself to have sensitive skin until I tried this product. It made my skin very hot and itchy, and the area around my eyes stung from where my moisturizer had spread it. My skin was already fragile as I was recovering from a breakout, so it only caused me to breakout again in tiny, painful pimples. Apparently for some people this works?? I wouldn't use it if you're even a little bit sensitive.
