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: Biore (Blemish Treating Astringent)
Pros:
It makes my face feel clean and you can actually feel it working. and it smells real good.
Cons:
it broke my face out really bad. may work for some but not for others.
It is a good toner, but it doesnt clear acne as it says it does. i dont think i would use it again. i have more acne now then i did before i started using it.

Pros:
Exfoliates skin well, all natural
Cons:
The crushed walnut shell I think it is that they use for exfoliation is kind of harsh and dries my skin out. Left my skin so oily I had to use an anti-oil facewash like the neutrogena brownish orange clear stuff afterward.
Doesnt prevent breakouts. Exfolitant dries skin and is too harsh. Leaves skin feeling oily.

Product used: Dermafina (Clear Skin Acne System)
Pros:
I was using Dermafina a few years ago when it was advertised on tv and you could get it at walgreens. I absolutly loved it. I used the 4 step system as directed and in 2 days my face was clear. I was so happy that I was in tears. I want it back
Cons:
The fact that because it was such a good product it is discontinued even the website is gone
If a product works better than that proactive stuff please keep it. Dermafina is the only affordable otc that you can get that has 5%Salicylic Acid. Benzol Peroxide just doesnt cut it for older teens and young adults

Product used: Oxy (Balance Maximum Deep Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
Great price, works well, smells nice, clears up your face in about a week.
Cons:
Best to buy the kind w/o alcohol or buy the sensitive skin formula if you want to use it everyday.
Great maintenance product. It really helped me stay clear and eliminate small problem areas. Don't overuse it or use it on any broken skin. There are directions on how not to use it.

Pros:
I've used this product a little over a month now and have noticed some improvements on newer acne marks around my chin area. I recommend you use this product once a day, every day for a month before you decide for yourself whether it's worth it.
Cons:
Pricey, Pricey, Pricey...but hey i'm cheap so let's not take it too far. Also, the packaging is REALLY small and doesn't last more than a few weeks if used daily. Oh...and people, stop complaining about the smell, that's the least of your problems.
Give it a try...it probably won't do much for large, old, dark marks but it will fade others.
