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: Oxy (Balance Maximum Deep Pore Cleansing Pads)
Cons:
IT STINGS A ALOT.
its really good at preventing acne. i mean, really good. i just had my first breakout so i guess thats good new. it doesnt really eliminate old pimples. i think those just have to work themselves out.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Quick, easy to use and doesn't seem to cause an "after shine" like other astringents.
Cons:
Cannot find it ANYWHERE in my area.
I've had "mature" acne only in the last 10 years of my life..(after the birth of my son) and this is the ONLY cleansing routine that has worked consistently. I've tried others...and eventually they lose their effect. Why has L'Oreal taken this off the market? I think the "Dermo-Calm" Complex as well as the 2% salcylic acid is the trick. Nothing else on the market has this mix. Why?

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Did reduce the size of my acne and not that harmful if compare to oxy acne gel.
Cons:
It takes too long to see the results. Yet, red mark appears after using it.
I think it costs too much if compare to its efficiency and volume.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
Moisturizes well, leaves skin refreshed and matte. Cheap. I have very sensitive, yet acne-free skin, this is gentle enough to use every day and helps maintain a clear complexion when used with Clean and Clear Foaming Cleanser with BHA. 5/5 stars.
Cons:
Doesn't contain SPF. Awkward bottle, was once mistaken for Dove Weightless Hair Creme, which looks identical.
Definately give this product a try, it costs much less than other moisturizers and the added SA helps to prevent pimples.

Product used: Clearasil (For Men Energizing Face Scrub)
Pros:
Works
Cons:
Hard to find in stores.
I've had acne for a while. Using this product twice a day has completely cleared up my face. I do occasionally get one or two, but not like before. I would recommend this to anyone who has mild acne. This does not clear acne that is already there, but prevents new one's from showing up. Continue using it for a month and you will start to see the difference.

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel)
Pros:
Clears up acne after one night next morning you see results.
Cons:
Leaves skin kind of sticky feeling.
This product worked really well. My family is seeing reuslts. I have more confidence and im going to buy another one. one of the best acne solutions i've tried.
January 9, 2008
Pros:
none
Cons:
started with mild acne and lots of scars. no change.
used this twice a week for several months. not sure if the scars faded with time, or if this did anything. i doubt it. didn't do anything for acne.
January 5, 2008
Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It does make a pimple smaller and prevents them from breaking out or getting worst. It works overnight... as it claims. it makes it a bit smaller.
Cons:
very very drying. I have normal skin, not oily and not dry and yet it can leave me peeling.
It is really useful, but the sting can be a bit painful sometimes.
It's just really really drying. it makes your skin peel like crazy. and moisturizers don't seem to work.
Pros:
it works a little i guess.
