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:
DRIES OUT and irritates SKIN, most painful feeling on my face ever!!!
It burned my face for a week, but I got over it because I wanted a perfect face. I used it for about another month or so, and it worked wonderfully. Just recently, I found that if I did not immediatly wash my face with not only water, but this product, my face would break out. It started buring my skin again and didn't help.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Got rid of the zits I had
Cons:
My skin is super dried up and flaky, so painful
(I have to be honest, I've never had a reaction like this before to any of the tons of products I've used, so I can promise that this doesn't happen to me often.) After having run out of my favourite C&C cleanser, I went and bought a new one, which gave me more zits, so I dumped it and bought this one hoping to clear up my face again. It worked...
But it also killed my face. I've NEVER had a cleanser dry my skin out like this before!!! I have pretty oily skin, so to go from greasy to dry and flaky practically overnight is shocking. My face hurts from how dry it is, and no amount of moisturizer is helping. Although the zits are gone, the dryness and flakes are way worse, and it so wasn't worth it. I don't know why it reacted like this, but I don't recommend it unless you have a significant amount of acne on your face. It must be too strong for just the occasional breakout, I'm not sure. I'll never be jealous of dry skin and complain about my oily skin agai

Pros:
-easy to apply
-smells ok, i guess
Cons:

I wouldn't recommned it, due to it not doing anything for my mild acne. It works on my brother whom only has the odd spot here and there.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It is correct when it states that it will reduce the size of your acne , and it results are noticed in an extremely short amount of time .
Cons:
My skin is still very uneven , and it doesn't treat large bumps , as well as the redness on the skin .
Doesn't work for me , although it may work for people who have acne that consists of smaller bumps and little redness .

Made my acne worse! It's clearer skin in three days is a freaking lie! It made my skin Unclearer after 3 days. It sucks so much. ARRG i wish i could sue these people for giving me worse acne.

Product used: Sea Breeze (Actives Deep Clean Astringent)
Pros:
There really aren't any. It's colorful?
Cons:
Drying!
Redness!
Itchy!
Its an AWFUL product, your skin at first will be all nice and dry looking and then an hour later it's like someone dumped a bottle of oil all over your face. You shouldn't ever use astrigents with alcohol which this product has. Alcohol strips your skin of it's natural oils. Stay away from alcohol based astringents! I learned the hard way.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Cleared my skin like NOTHING ELSE!
Smells awesome.
Very gentle.
Cons:
It's kinda expensive.
I am through the first bottle of face wash and just started the second. It is the only thing that clears my extremely sensitive skin. I don't think its great for genuine cystic acne, but those who have acne due to hormones...allergies...this is the thing for you. TRY IT! I promise it worked for me.
