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: Clearasil (Maximum Strength Pore Cleansing Pads)
Cons:
It often does burn when you apply it, its not that bad though, I had Acne on my forehead when i started now it is on my forhead and the right side of your face.
Its ok it does work well to reduce redness but there are probably better products out there, as i stated it *MAY* have spread my acne but I cannot back that statement up with fact.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Works to an extent on pimples. Especially on soon to come pimples
Cons:
Works at first but doesn't get rid of the problem.
People who don't read instructions, will not like the outcome. Ofcourse! this Isn't meant for acne all over. And is definitely not meant for your whole face. Use it for spots! and small pimples. I found it effective for those areas. but If your expecting a miracle for your acne all over your face, see a dermatologist!

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel)
Pros:
None
Cons:
It didn't work at all. My pimple became worse and caused more around the pimple I put it on. It did nothing for the redness, swelling or unclogging the pores.
Don't bother wasting your money. It was advertised to work and it doesn't. I was very disappointed.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
Moisturizes, makes my skin feel soft, doesn't make my skin worse/breakout, nice smell, don't need to use a lot
Cons:
Doesn't make my skin better either
I've been using this since high school (in my 2nd year of college now). I have experimented with a few other moisturizers, but they either really dry my skin out or make my face extremely greasy. This isn't the best moisturizer, but it works for now. I'm going to be trying Aveeno next, but for now I just keep coming back to this. Maybe it's just that I've been using it for so long, but it never burned my face...

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Smells Godd, Clear, Comes out easy, Drys my face out just enough to make it wear its not so oily, Smooth
Cons:
After you put it on its kinda-of grainy, makes my eyes water
I love it.
It does work.
I dont have sensitive skin so it dosent bother me, but I do have watery eyes and this does irrate them.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It was cheap and worked well at first.
Cons:
It works okay at first, but after continuous use...it doesn't do anything for your face. It just dries it up really badly.
I wouldn't buy it again...I need something that will always work.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It smells good.
Cons:
It doesn't work.
You're better off putting a dab of Apple Cider Vinegar on the pimple to make it heal faster.
Pros:
It does seem to clear up your skin (Ie: reduce redness/ keep acne down), certianly dried out my skin as other reviews hav said.
