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: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Cons:
It's a bit too thick, so it's a bit of a challenge to rinse all of it off your face. Dries out your skin A LOT.
If you use this product with the kit, it will work wonders, but BEWARE: your skin will be begging for some lotion. This product dries out your skin a lot. Also, don't use it if you have even a slight sunburn, trust me - you'll thank me later. Personally, I would recommend it to some people, but not all.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
Amazing, efficacious, makes my skin feel soft and luminous!
Cons:
None whatsoever!
Buy it. If you have dry skin and this isn't enough, supplement this with another non-comedogenic moisturizer. Try it!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Doesn't smell bad
Exfoliates a little
Cons:
Doesn't get rid of blackheads or acne
Beads get everywhere, especially along hair line
It doesn't do what it promises.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Reduces size, swelling and redness.
Cons:
Kind of SLOW. Dries out skin..KINDA.
I don't get how people think this product makes things worse. I guess on some people it will work other it won't. Use other products along with this and you'll have clear skin. I suggest Retinol Cream and Clearasil Gel wash. Does kind of dry out skin. Bottom LINE: Buy it if you have light acne.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
i used it when i was 13 and had no issues
Cons:
i used it a few days ago, and my face is not getting better.
so, i used this product when i was younger and had no issues of that i remember, i wanted a face wash to get rid of a couple none sense pimples i was experiencing.
i'm a wreck right now, my face looks DISGUSTING .. has a bunch of little bumps all over, burns and is sooo itchy. i'm so embarrased to even be at work right now. ive been looking at these reviews hoping someone has a solution to make it better. but my face seriously looks gross.
whether i'd recommend this product or not, depends i suppose on your skin type... mine however, does not work well with at all.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Somewhat gets rid of your acne, smells nice, cheap
Cons:
Totally dries out your face, irritates your skin and makes it all flaky
I use a moisturizer with this, yet my skin is still flaky and dry. The first 2 or 3 times you use this, everything will be fine, but then afterwards, your skin starts feeling really irritated and itchy. It dried out my entire face, so it doesn't feel soft at all. Feels kind of rough actually. To be fair, it did get rid of some acne, but I definitely will never buy this product again.
Pros:
It makes your skin feel nice and clean after you use it. And it makes your skin soft.
