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: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Cons:
-left acne scars. I have little red dots on my face because of this product.
It just doesn't work. I used this stuff consistently and the only actual result I had was that it left scars. Do NOT use this product. It will potentially ruin your skin. There are much better products out there.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
It works amazingly. The packaging and consistency feels so cheap and crappy that I always forget how well it works then use something more expensive and my skin goes to hell.
Cons:
Consistency is waxy and plastic-y and it's a bit messy.
Works fabulously. Doesn't dry out skin. Reduces redness very well.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
None
Cons:
-Irritating
-Doesn't mattify at all, it is very greasy
-Makes me break out
Don't buy its cheap simply beccause it is useless and also just because it is Clean and Clear doesn't mean your face will be when you use this

Product used: Burt's Bees (Natural Acne Solutions Kit)
Pros:
saw results with blemish stick roller in one day.
Cons:
after using it for a month my skin became use to it and broke me out even more, it is a small amount of product for the price, and the roll on idea is bad this causes spread in other areas.
Research more look for a better spot blemish remover.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
I LOVE THE SMELL! it's awesome.
Sorry guys i didn't put the price-- i don't remember how much it was..at all. I tried this in the first place because it has a 2% Salicylic Acid acne medication, and I heard that was an important formula, so i tried
Cons:
MADE MY FACE RED
sucks balls. I don't like it, at all. I have been fighting acne for about three years already, and I STILL have pretty damn severe acne. bumps, often pus filled pimples, LOADS of blackheads, redness, I JUST HATE IT!
this product sucks, like if you have crappy, oily skin in the T-ZONE, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. No results, just probably some MORE redness. I don't think that Clean & Clear products work very well with my skin...my skin and C&C have issues together ha ha

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Seems to work well, good foaming cleanser, nice smell, leaves skin feeling clean and reduces redness, swelling.
Cons:
None that I have seen yet.
I would recommend this product over some of the other harsher products I have used in the past. I tend to buy more Aveeno products, because it has a a good name, since it is oatmeal based, it is better for your skin than some of the other harsher stuff on the maket today.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Smells ok, makes skin smoother and more even
Cons:
Does not do anything for acne, perhaps even creates blackheads that were beneath the surface
Before I used Clean and Clear Advantage cleanser I used Neutrogena Advantage which dried out my skin, but basically worked. Clean and Clear has not made my skin soft, or clear, or glowy. It dried it out a bit, but not flaky like Neutrogena Advantage system. It did make my skin's color more even and less red, but the blackheads didn't go away, in fact I got more. Not the one to use if you have dry skin or blackheads like mine.
