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.

Cons:
didn't clear up acne
didn't help redness+irritation
gave me more breakouts
left skin feeling very oily and just not clean
This product did nothing for me, and I got more acne. It was just annoying, and my face always felt oily and slick after washing; not the squeaky clean feeling that I feel like I need when it comes to a facial cleanser. Just didn't work for me.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
If a pimple is starting, this lessens the severity of it or the pimple never forms
Cons:
Drys your skin out
Price
This almost always works for me so I don't mind paying for it. Plus I will take a little dryness over a giant zit anyday!

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Rapid Action Pads)
Pros:
-Makes pimples much smaller and less red overnight
-makes your face feel clean
Cons:
-stings a little
-Itches a little because it doesn't dry right away
-makes skin look red and shiny right afterward
-might dry out skin
It makes my skin feel nice and clean and it definitely works in clearing away pimples. It didn't make my skin completely clear, but it worked. As listed above, it made my skin look shiny afterward, stung, and dried it a little bit... So I only used it at night and it worked out well :)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
- reduces pimple size within a day
- no strong odor
Cons:
- stings a bit
- takes a while to fully clear a pimple
- expensive for a small tube
- mostly only works on odors
I bought this to get rid of a pretty big pimple, fast. I applied it twice a day, or more, and I honestly noticed the pimple getting a little better... slowly. It took a few days to clear the pimple completely, but I'm sure that's a little faster than the natural process.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
makes the pimple a bit smaller
Takes some of the redness away
Cons:
Doesn't get rid of the whole pimple
Doesn't really work what it was meant for
small and pricey
It's an okay product. I used it many times but what it does is make the blemish smaller or nothing at all. I would recommend to use toothpaste instead of this.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Nada . . . 0
Cons:
I used it once and my skin flipped out!
First my face dried out to the point of cracking, my skin then turned very red inflamed and painful. It itches horribly!
I've tried some benadryl, but it doesn't seem to be helping. All i can do now is sit here with a cold towel on my face . . .
It might work for some, but not for me . . .
My skin has never been sensitive, and I have never had any allergies . . . I would not suggest this to anyone, unless you're willing to accept the possible side effects.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Cleared pimples
smells great
not sticky
works well
Cons:
stings a little
It works within the next day! It was amazing and I couldn't believe it! I use to use neutrogena on the spot acne treatment but it did not work as well as this. The box even said 100% showed clearer skin the next day! I will always use this.
Pros:
kind of a good smell I guess...apple-y
