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:
Nothing I've noticed.
I have oily skin and my pores are often clogged up. This helps to unclog them and remove the dead skin, leaving me with softer skin.

This Product is amazing. im 18 years old. i've had horrible acne since i was 13. I used everything in the world you can think of. ONE DAY i used this product because i was hoping this was the one. and it was! just put water on your face. put the scrub anyway except your eyes . of course. rub it in . i use my my palm(on my cheeks) wash off. go to sleep. ( or wake up )
my skin is normally oil. but this ance scrub controls it more than any other product without making your skin irritated. TRY IT . ACNE STRESS CONTROL?
i agree, pimples and new pimples are no stress for me now. USED THIS PRODUCT MAYBE FOR A WEEK . MY SKIN HAS NEVER BEEN SO CLEAR IN 5 YEARS.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash, Pink Grapefruit)
Pros:
-Nice smell
-Gives face a clean feeling
-Foaming lather
Cons:
-Dries out face TERRIBLY
-Smell gets annoying after a while
I absolutley do not reccomend this cleanser. The acne did stay away and left my face clear, although, the dryness all around my mouth, nose, eyebrows, and chin was just unbearable. Eventually, I had to purchase a moisterizer at an attempt to make the dryness stop. It did make it somewhat better, but not by much. This product was a total dissapointment. The only good thing about it is that it will keep acne away, for me at least. For others I've heard it was a different case. If you are looking for an acne cleanser, I suggest finding one with a lower percentage of salicylic acid. Purchase this product at your own risk if you are prepared to experience extreme drying, peeling, and itching.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
-Clears acne dramatically
-The sting tells you it works
-Does not leave residue
-Sanitary packaging
-Will last long than you think
Cons:
-Tends to dry out skin
-Applying too much will result in needing to wash it off
I have acne prone skin, T-zone gets really oily, the rest of my face is somewhat dry. Strange huh? My friend introduced with to me. Worked wonders, but DO AN ALLERGY TEST on your arm, I think the other reviewers were allergic? Who knows. This doesn't work for EVERYONE, so make sure you are able to return the product to where ever you bought it from! Good luck everyone :)

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
Light weight cream and a nice scent to it
Cons:
Maybe the price
Great product, so far it has done what it says it does. I had a few blemishes and a bit of an uneven complexion due to a bad sunburn and has prevented pimples. If u use it as recommended then it should work for you!

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash, Pink Grapefruit)
Pros:
Cleared skin
Cons:
Dried out my skin
Burned my skin
This product has a great smell and lathers pretty well. It cleared up my skin pretty quickly, but the more I used it the more my skin became irritated. My skin burned, even when my face had been moisturized. Does it work, yes, but it dries out your face terribly.

Product used: KAVI (Salicylic Acid Peel)
Pros:
Like carpet bombing acne into oblivion.
Cons:
Can only be done once a week.
I actually look forward to Sunday mornings when it's time for another peel. It stings like a hive of bees are on my back, but it doesn't bother me because I know what's going down on the surface: legions of acne bacteria being incinerated on the spot. Results aren't noticeable till the next morning, but boy do they look unbelievable. I see more and more natural skin instead of red acne infestation every week that goes by. I use with Coral Kavi, which I use twice a day.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash, Pink Grapefruit)
Pros:
Smells nice
Dries up oil
Cons:
Very drying
Smell may be overpowering
Artificial coloring
Bad for sensitive skin
If you have sensitive or fair skin, save yourself the pain. I used this for about a month or two, and the first week, I broke out into a rash that looked and felt like sunburn, and my skin literally peeled off in patches. However, after that first week, there were no more complications other than it being very, VERY drying.
