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:
I used it a couple times and my face broke out into red bumps all over my forehead, and some bumps on my nose and cheeks.
I'm not sure if I have a sensitivity to salicylic acid, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. My face looks much worse now.

Product used: Biore (Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser)
Pros:
My face had a beautiful tingly feeling making it feel fresh, it also lathers nicely, make my skin clearer in a couple of days, would highly recommend it.
It did make my skin feel a bit dry, so I tend to moisture my skin after.
And my pump is faulty do I always have to pour it which is really annoying haha.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage 3-in-1 Foaming Acne Wash)
Pros:
face wash
Cons:
leaves your skin dry with flakiness
i mistakely brought this face wash instead of the regular clean n clear face wash to use in the Dan's regimen. I didn't notice at first it had salycic acid in it.As i was using BP for the regimen, the mix of BP and salycic acid left me with terrible experience. It left me with very dry, irritating and flaky skin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
Lasts a long time
Actively combats acne
Good texture and thickness
Gives your skin a glow
Oil free
Cons:
Burns a little on application
Not the most effective moisturizer you'll ever use
My skin texture seems more balanced since using this product. It's not the best moisturizer that I've ever used, but I like to think that it helps a bit with my active spots.

Product used: Dermalogica (Clean Start)
Pros:
Smells good
Works great
Cons:
I do not like "Hit the spot"
-Its a little expencive, so i would suggest finding the little sample packs before buying a full version.
Other then that read the bottom for my story
Well to start I havnt bought the item, yet.
I went to a manicure salon and the women had lots and lots of dermaloica products and i saw the clean start line. I was immatienly wanting to try it, considering of all the reviews i had watched on youtube. There were a couple different samples, the mini square ones with abit of product in them. She had these three: -Bedtime for Breakouts
-Hit the spot
-Brighten up spf15 I've been using them for a few days.
I used the bedtime for breakouts for the first time last night on two pimples that had just come. Now those pimples are clearing up and there drying out and clearing away, This by far is my favorite.... so far. The brighten up spf15 was a little suprising at first because it was a tan colour, i wasnt sure what i was supposed to do with it. I was also a little sceptical because it said "shimmer" && we all know shimmer is bad for oily skin but its a pretty great product. Its a great primer andit moisterizes good so i enjoy it. Now the "hit the spot" I do not like this. I do not like the smell or the way it goes on it hasnt done anything so if i would choose bedtime for breakouts or this, i would choose bedtime for breakouts. I am happy this does not come in the starter pack.
So this is why it was free, I didnt buy anything yet because if im gonna buy something thats so expencive, I want to know that i like the line and that it would work for me. - I have oily, sensitive, *dry skin in winter*, ACNE PRONE skin.

I wish this worked, I really do. I love Burts products more than anything, but I was just so disappointed with this product. Try it, maybe it will work for you. It just didn't for me.
