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:
Dried out my whole Face!!
Wow!! I just got this few days ago. I have fairly oily skin prone to acne, however it isnt really sensitive,I can put anything on my face without any broblems. I used this stuff Only Twice and it made my skin so DRY!! I couldnt blieve it. My face got tight, dry, flaky and rough to the touch. Do NOT buy this stuff! Its too harsh on your skin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
feels pretty nice going on
Cons:
completely dried out my face
its 10x worse than before.
if you have sensitive skin i suggest you stay far, far away from this product. I'm sure that it has worked on some people but it has made my acne as well as the texture of my skin worsen dramatically.I actually have pretty good skin and decided to try this for a small breakout on my cheek. However, after only using this twice my face feels like sandpaper and is extremely dry. This isn't a very good product for people with sensitive skin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Smells good, feels good, easy to apply.
Cons:
Doesn't really work...
As a follow-up to me first using this product a few weeks ago, I would like to report that this has not worked for me at all. In fact, my acne has gotten much worse since my first application. Bottom line, this may work for some people, but I figured I would let anyone know in case they were wondering.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
-Moisturizes very well
-Leaves skin matte
-Pleasing fragrance thats non-irritating
Cons:
-Medication isn't strong enough (for me) to use without another acne medication
I use this moisturizer along with proactiv, since their moisturizers suck and are way too expensive. It works well with my combination skin (oily/dry)and hasn't caused me a single breakout...unlike proactiv.. Overall, this is the best moisturizer I've ever used. I love Aveeno!!

Pros:
Does a fair job at fading acne scars, sun spots and brown discoloration from pregnancy and birth control pills.
Cons:
Has caused some uneven fading in spots.
The product does what it claims and that is fades acne scars but in no way does it remove them. The smell is not bad at all.
May 24, 2008
Pros:
Not harsh at all. Gently exfoliates thoroughly. Skin feels very soft and fresh after use. Get rids of dead skin cells and oil residues very well.
Cons:
None actually, but I am not sure if it did any help with my acne. But it didn't do anything to make it worse either.
Try it! Unless you can find something better at such a price...

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
Clears and tightens pores, clears underskin congestion and larger blemishes. Inexspensive and convenient to find.
Cons:
It has alcohol in it which I have always been old is not a good thing to put on your skin. Glass bottle and bar soap-kind of a pain but worth it.
I have used proactive for a long time and still always had some sort of skin somthin going on. It was just okay and then it seemed to totally stop working. Anyhow, I ran out of it and ended up trying Burt's on a whim cause the thought of going to the mall to buy proactive was dreadful. I am SO HAPPY I did! My skin has honestly NEVER looked or felt this good> I got the tomato bar soap cleanser, the tomato toner(alcohol), the french clay mask and the blemish stick. All of them are fantastic except for the blemish stick. I don't think it does too much-not drastic anyway. The rest of it is great. My pores have never been this clear and small, my skin has never been this smooth and clear. I was certain that if it worked it would dry out my face but it doesn't at all. I do use a good moisturizer though (Bobbi Brown). I highly reccomend this to anyone with acne issues. If anyone cares I'm 28 so this works well on all ages I would imagine. Good luck!

the moisturizer is nice, but its also the only one that I've ever used thats only for the face
Cons:
the foaming cleanser's bottle does not spring up anymore
the cap doesn't stay on properly
doesn't really work
it doesn't really help clear my acne
after this i've tried neutrogena and it was ok, but later i went to the dermatologist and he really helped me
