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 (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Cons:
this product doesn't work
I only breakout before my period and during finals so I bought this product for that period of time but it increased my 2 or 3 acne bumps to 10! This is not a good product!

Pros:
makes you feel like youre cleaning your face really good but really youre irritating your skin. good for chest and back acne NOT FOR FACE!
Cons:
too irritating and really does make you break out more than you would if didnt use it on your face.
you should not use a scrub on your face, i stopped using it and my face actually cleared up, i didnt change anything different in my routine but i just stopped using this on my face. that doesnt mean its a bad product, my sister uses this and she doesnt have acne, but for acne prone skin i think its too harsh and irritating.

Pros:
It worked well with my sensitive skin, it did not over dry it like other medication

It made my skin become really red and I never really saw results
So not worth the price

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Reduces oil, works remotely fast, smells good, affordable
Cons:
Takes some time to start working for larger pimples
I saw the commercial for this product, and there was proof, so obviously, that would convince anybody. I decided to try it, and thankfully it was relatively cheap. (For the two other products that came with it, also.)

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
I like the smell. Plus it really does leave your skin feeling fresh and clean.
Cons:
Not a good pore unclogger
Good for washing your face if that is what you are aiming for.

Pros:
refines the texture of your skin mega-ly, prevents most breakouts, clears oily skin well.
Cons:
acne isn't totally under control with this product.
i really like this scrub. i don't usually bother writing reviews for products, but i thought that for this one, it would be worth it! it's so far the best acne wash i've found. i have oily to combination skin with mild acne + acne scarring. i think this does an amazing job of cleaning and exfoliating the skin. it's the best feeling i've gotten from any product! it even seems that my overall complexion is evening out, so i think the results will improve other time. i will definitely keep using it!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
No bad smell, one tube goes a long time
Cons:
Not potent, leaves a residue even after washing
it didn't improve my skin at all. i was hoping for a quick cure for a few pimples before my grad which were only 2 days old, and fairly isolated. unfortunately it didnt get rid of them in 7 days. i was very upset i payed all that money and ended up still having pimples. i would recommend trying another spot-treatment. All it did is made them feel drier and solid but they still looked red and inflamed.

Pros:

Cons:
I didn't do that much for me
non
Pros:
cheap
