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.

Cons:
Does nothing
This stuff does absolutely nothing. PLEASE just stay away from these silly fruity washes, they will probably never treat you unless you have extremely light acne. I actually believed this would stop a little swelling and resness based off of the product's green color, but boy was I wrong. Made everything worst.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Smells great
Does help with breakouts some
Rinses clean
Inexpensive
Cons:
Contains menthol which can irritate skin
Doesn't feel like it's exfoliating at all because it contains so few beads.
Doesn't rinse off easily
This scrub is alright, but I've definitely used better. I prefer the St. Ives medicated apricot scrub.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Micro Beads feel cool
Cons:
-Was ineffective
-Acne appeared in places that it was NOT originally in
-Left pores feeling clogged
This scrub is a waste of money and time. I'm a teen who has tried many acne treatments, none of which have worked, including this one. I'm desperate for anything to clear up my skin. Most of my acne is in the corners of my nose, upper cheeks, and chin.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It got rid of the few pimples I had in a couple days
Cons:
It dries out spots on my skin
It burns
Okay, so this product is pretty good. It doesn't reduce the redness as it claims (at least I found) and it will BURN for a few minutes, the first few seconds will really hurt. But it does zap the pimples fast so try it out. I'd probably recommend the clean & clear astringent more. It really gets rid of the pimples, not as fast but without pain.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage 3-in-1 Foaming Acne Wash)
Pros:
-smells nice
-cheap
Cons:
-dried out skin
-no results
-left skin feeling too tight
This product left me with absolutely no results. It promised to treat breakouts and prevent future breakouts but it ended up just drying out my skin and making it worse. The only nice thing was that right before I dried my face, it felt soft while it was still wet.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Love, Love, Love the clean feeling
Was able to see results within one week
It feels every cool to your skin
Cons:
The beads would be stuck in my hairline ):
It didn't prevent breakouts
It dried out some parts of my skin
I like this scrub because it makes my face feel very fresh and clean, but results are subtle, some acne redness will subside but that's about it.

Product used: Biore (Blemish Treating Astringent)
Pros:
Skin *feels* clean, cooling
Cons:
Doesn't do anything
This product must be very, very mild or just complete inaffective. I prefer, greatly, the neutrogena clear pore or sea breeze. This product doesn't do much at all to remove dirt and build up from pores. Doesn't do anything bad, but doesn't do anything good either. Biore as a brand has proved disappointing!
Pros:
Smells good
