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)
Cons:
Doesn't work, seems to make my back-acne worse, makes my skin a bit itchy, not a good scent
I will not purchase this again! I will stick with Phisoderm anti blemish body wish which works wonders! (And the same price available at walgreens!!!)

Product used: Biore (Blemish Treating Astringent)
Pros:
smells great, get a lot, gentle
Cons:
doesn't work well at all
i've used this forever and it takes at least a week to heal one pimple and doesn't do anything for blackheads. plus it a little pricey. it also made my skin shiny which it says it is not supposed to do.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
Got rid of Oil
Leaves skin soft
Decreases pimple size
Cons:
Havent found one yet
I have really bad acne and have tried using a lot of other medications. I almost gave up and decided to try this out. I have yet to have another pimple form since using this product. If you follow directions (washing with warm water and patting it dry 3 times a day) it should work. Im glad I found something finally!

Product used: Clearasil (Maximum Strength Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
It really works well with dry skin
Cons:
It stings a little and the smell is masculine
I've been using this product and clean&clear since middle school. They're both way better than the other acne products out there.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
it works!!
Cons:
not for facial cleanser unless acne is moderate or worse (harsh on sensitive skin or dry skin)
This stuff isnt for people with light acne, or sesitive skin. im mexican and have oily skin with moderate acne. i love clearasil, it gets rid of the excess oil, keeps it away, and has already improved my acne in only one week! leaves my face feeling fresh, clean, and soft.

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
natural ingredients, smells good, and pretty much made all of my skin problems dissolve.
Cons:
NONE
I've had annoying acne ever since I was 12 and for a really long time I used ProActive which I now realize only made my skin worse. I switched to Aveeno for a while and that helped a lot so I decided to go one step further and try a natural product line. So I've been using Burts Bees for about a month now and I don't want to jinx it I think my skin problems are pretty much over. I use the peach and willowbark scrub as my cleanser. I love the way it smells. At first I was a little weirded out by the slight film it seems to leave behind but I haven't experienced any problems because of that. Actually I think it helps to not dry out my skin. I also use the herbal blemish stick which seems to be almost magical it's so effective. If I use it a few times a day on an "about to be" blemish then it goes away within a day. I also use vitamin e oil and petrolium jelly on dry spots at night and that helps keep me moisturized. I actually kinda like my skin now... w
Pros:
Cheap
