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: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
Really works, non drying, almost fragrance free, widely available, affordable
Cons:
Cumbersome extra-step in the shower or bath
This Stuff is amazing and well worth the forementioned extra step. Completely cleared up the bacne that has been plaguing me for over 10 years, and it seems to be healing the (red) scars as well. Love it!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Good when used with other products. Can be used as a really good cleanser.
Cons:
You have to use it in the correct manner or you won't have any noticable reduction of acne.
This is a good product compared to other clean and clear products. Any salcyclic acid product is like this in that it is a slow peel and can give you red and flaky skin. Slow peeling is part of how it works to remove comodones. You can use other products to control flakyness such as Retin A to remove the flakes or on the other hand moisturizer to keep them stuck to your skin, which usually negates the effectiveness of the product.

Pros:
Easy to use, appears to be working
Cons:
A bit pricy but worth the cost if it works
I've used this product for about 4 weeks now and it actually does appear to reduce redness and spots. It does have a strange smell but not so bad. I recommend it, good stuff.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
The smell, it makes my skin soft and looks clear and clean. Keeps acne at bay. Follow up with a moisturizer or the astringent that goes with this works awesome! Maybe some spot treatments of BP for ppl with moderate/severe acne.
Cons:
Pump breaks
Love it!

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
-clears up acne after the first few days... a few weeks later, you will be make-up free.
Cons:
-it works miracles, i just wish the consistency of the product wasn't so thick.
after using countless products, this one WORKED for me. The first day, you might see a few more pimples than you started out with... but the product is simply bringing out all of the oils, and dirt from your pores, so they aren't sitting there, waiting to return. If you have been trying TONS of over-the-counter products, and none have been working... try this out. you won't regret it.
