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 Spot Treatment)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Feels like someone is throwing acid in your face, smells like formaldehyde, and made the sensitive skin around my mouth and eyes red and flakey- don't know if that has anything to do with the product, but I've noticed a few others have said the same.
Don't bother.

Product used: L'Oreal (Acne Response Kit)
Pros:
it works real well by taming down the acne but it also somehow made my pores huge. I suppose it's better than having red marks all over my face but that's about all it does.
Cons:
moisturizer dries out to become really flaky sometimes and also will fix part of the problem, not all of it.
I'll still use it because it's done more for my acne than proactive and murad, and it's cheaper still.

Pros:
Works fast and very well. Affordable.
I do not have terrible skin, but it is very sensitive, and everything makes me break out. I've tried all of the products out there, proactive, arcona, epicuren, and every drug store product there is, but nothing seemed to treat my breakouts. Some things made my skin look better, but I still got zits.
This one worked in a day or two, clearing my skin, and preventing new breakouts! It is slightly drying at first, but then my skin got used to it and an extra moisturizer helps.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
I LOVE this product...I am soooo mad that it has been discontinued. I used all three steps and it was a miracle worker.
Cons:
I think it is available now under AcneResponse...but it is horrible because you have to buy all three (cleanser, toner, moisturizer) at the same time...nobody runs out of all three at the same time.
Everyone who is unhappy about this product being discontinued should email/send a letter to L'oreal expressing their concern.

Pros:
fades marks and controls acne
Cons:
wish it were stonger
it doesnt sting and it doesnt dry me out. i use it every other night (i use the advanced solutions peel on opposite nights)- its helped reduce my marks and clear my breakouts a lot. i wish it were stronger though! and the smell i don't even notice. try using it every night for a week after you wash your face at night and see if you notice a difference. it never irritated my skin at all. leave it on for about a half hour too (i leave it on until when i move my mouth it peels all over)

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)

Leaves your skin feeling refreshed and smooth, helps clear up some break outs and clear some black heads as well.
Cons:
I haven't run into any yet.
It's worth the price.

Pros:
I love love love this 3 step program. I had adult acne and this program is the only thing that has helped. I have tried so many others since this became hard to find in stores and nothing works but Pure Zone.
Cons:
Hard to find
Anytime I find it I buy several months supply.
Pros:
It helped alittle bit
