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 (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Cons:
It keeps my skin clear but it doesnt seem to be unclogging my pores.
Very nice product, good price.
I wanted to try something to help me ween myself off of Proactiv Solution. I have heard that, going off of Proactiv can cause a kind of face explosion...I integrated this product into my daily regimen, and it worked beautifully. I did not have any outbreaks period!

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
Moisturizes my face effectively without causing breakouts (or making me appear too oily).
Cons:
Cost...
over $10, but 1 bottle does seem to last a long time
I have sensitive and oily skin. Other moisturizers either made my face appear too oily or caused me to break out. This product causes neither of those problems. My gf gave it a try and she now uses this product to moisturize her face. I would definitely recommend this product!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
A nice light moisturizer that does not cause breakouts and feels very clean but THAT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN DISCONTINUED??????? NOW there is this other "Advantage" junk they are selling which literally stinks like a chemical factory!
Cons:
Gets a little oily after a few hours--I combine it with Biore Shine Control moisturizer which seems to help (but BSC is too drying on its own).
Bring it back, Clean&Clear!! I don't like the other junk you are now peddling.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
I like this product for my chest and back. It worked really well, and helped get me clear, but then I stopped using it and broke up terribly after a few weeks. I'm using it again now, and my skin is improving again. It was alright for my face - kept it under control but it didnt clear everything up. I think the beads were too irritating.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Very economical since it takes very little to make a good lather. Made my skin less red and nice and smooth. Cleared up breakouts somewhat, not completely gone
Cons:
Caused dryness and flaking around nose which required the use of a separate moisturizer
I have had adult acne (54 yrs old) for about 8 years. Used b/p products before but always had to stop and let skin recover from excess dryness and mild rash every little bit. I use this twice a day.Aveeno works best for me when followed by a salicylic acid moisturizer. The best moisturizer for me is L'Oreal Tone step 3, but my local stores have stopped carrying it, so I have been using Clean and Clear which doesn't work nearly as well. The best thing about Aveeno is the reduction of redness

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
I actually like the smell and the feel
Cons:
I have never broken out like this in my life
As I read these reviews I am thinking "holy cow, am I an alien???" I have the WORST acne I have ever had in my life.. I knew my pores were clogged but I never had serious acne. I was thinking long term effects and how my skin should be in 20 years, so I thought I would exfoliate. Well, let me tell you.. even my mother freaked out when she saw my face (only two weeks later). I have HUGE black heads and HUGE deep pimples now.. I don't know what to do.. do I keep using and maybe it will completely purge my skin? or am I damaging my skin? maybe I am too sensitive? I can't get into my dermatologist for 4 months@@@

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
smells nice i guess
Cons:
made my skin dry and caused little bumps and what not all over my skin.
doesnt really work like a charm, it caused itchy bumps for me so i stopped using it since i guess i was allergic or something or it just suxs :( and i still had pimples
Pros:
I like the smell, and it makes my face feel very fresh. Its not over-drying or abbraisive like Proactiv.
