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 Spot Treatment)
Cons:
Burns when applied to skin!
Great product! Good for acne that wont go away.
October 13, 2007
Pros:
Works good. Quick and easy to use.
Cons:
Dries my skin a little.
Well I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but it seems to be reducing my horrible acne scars. I do have a few deeper scars that I don't think will fade with this product, but for the most part it's doing the job I want it too. I don't know why people are complaining about the smell. It's not that bad at all.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Out of all the products I've tried, this is the only one that's ever worked for me.
Cons:
Alot of stores have stopped carrying it, so it's getting really hard to track down... I'm now buying it online.
Everybody's skin is differant, but it's worth a shot. I didn't think it would work for me since just about nothing does, but lo and behold, for the first time in years my face is almost clear. If it does work the only thing that sucks is that you may end up having to buy it online since alot of stores have stoped carrying it in favor of Loreal's new acne line.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Smells good, feels good on skin.
Cons:
Did NOTHING to help or improve my acne. It actually made it worse! I would not reccomend it.
Not a good product. Works for like the first week, then it just makes your skin worse.
October 7, 2007
Pros:
Leaves skin soft and smooth getting rid of dead skin cells
Cons:
Doesn't completely clear blemishes
For those who find it hard to scrub round your face, don't use. Although if you need to exfoliate your face use this and it helps a little to clear bemishes. Also moisturize after use

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Makes the skin feel nice, but thats pretty much it
Cons:
Smells bad, doesnt clear anything, and the 3 days clearer thing is bull****
Doesnt work as an acne cleanser, but its got a nice packaging
October 5, 2007
Pros:
The first two days it made my skin very soft and I thought it would end up working well.
Cons:
after about three days or so it ended up spreading my acne to areas of my face it had never been a problem in before.
It made my acne MUCH MUCH worse. I wouldn't risk it if I were you.. seriously.

Pros:
Helps prevent breakouts, makes scars fade fast, dries up zits FAST
Cons:
The smell is not really that bad... Small price to pay for all the benefits of this product.
I use it twice a day, everyday for about 25 mins each time, and I see fast results. My skin has improved a lot. The price isn't that bad. A bottle is about $9.50 at Target and lasts a couple of weeks.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
nothing
Cons:
this stuff is awful!
this is the type of product that gives you the false impression of having overnight results - however, after using it for about a month, my skin looked worse than it had at the beginning.
September 16, 2007
Product used: La Roche-Posay (Effaclar K)
Pros:
Doesn't make your skin feel or look shiny and/or greasy at all! But still gets rid of most dryness. Makes your skin look healthier.
Cons:
Doesn't seem to do much to stop acne.
Dries very quickly which makes it a bit hard to spread it all over your face.
Good to use during the day. But I would not use is all the time cause it won't stop acne.
I pay 12,28 euro for it.
Pros:
Great product
