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: L'Oreal (Acne Response Kit)
Cons:
it flakes on your skin sometimes and you would have to put water on your face to get it to look as if you didnt have it on.
I gave it 4 of 5 because I've had acne since i was 11(22 know) and it seems to work unlike Proactive which did quite the oppisite of what it promises .

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Smells good, Makes acne feel better
Cons:
Rarely works
I have used this product exactly how it says to use it, in fact I've gone on different websites to see if I was using it to it's most effective ability and sure enough I was using it the right way...and yet when I apply it to acne it only makes the acne WORSE. I'll put it on at the first sign of a pimple and the next day I'll wake up and the pimple is much much worse than it was the day before and harder to cover up. There are very few times I have used this product and it has actually worked so I don't suggest it unless your one of the lucky chosen ones that it works for.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
It makes your skin soft and cool. I'm talking about the WHOLE acne kit. That's about it.
Cons:
My skin got used to it. It does make zits smaller and less red, but doesn't completely get rid of them. People with bad acne don't need to use this product. To be honest, I was slightly disappointed with this kit. It wasn't helpful as I'd hoped.
Use it if you think that you don't have bad acne. Otherwise, don't give this product your time. And when it said it worked better than Proactiv?? Yeah, right. I would say if you have bad acne, then what I recommend is Skin iD. That is what I am currently using and it works WONDERS!!! The bottom line- it works for some skin types and not others, where Skin iD is personalized. But, if your feeling risky, give it a try, it might work for you. Nothing is stopping you.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Doesn't sting skin. Lotion is smooth. Has a pleasant smell. No petralum or mineral oil.
Cons:
Pricey. I am a Arbonne rep. and I am not crazy about this line of products.
These produts are proably okay for someone who has "light" acne (if there is sucha thing). I have been using it for almost two years. I am looking for a new line of produts to try. I am almost 30, so maybe this would help younger help.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Clears out fast and noticably any bumps or groups of acne that you may have. It really just got rid of mostly any acne I had and had people even complimenting on how clear my complexion has gotten.
Cons:
None so far. Other than having microbeads in my hairline and finding it hard to wash off arround the under of my eyes. Cost is too high for the size of the bottle.
This was probably the best thing I have ever picked up off the shelf. It was moderatly affordable, but so worth it. I can't believe that something that was not medicated would clear up the problems I had. I sometimes do get a couple breakouts, but more of I inherrited from my mom, not the stuff I was getting before. I still use this product and I feel my skin is less tight and more smooth and clear. It has never made my skin irritated like most cleansers have and I am overall satisfied with this product.

Pros:
everything
Cons:
nothing
this is the best face scrub i have ever found. it's best to use in the shower because the scrubies don't wash off easy in the sink. i absolutly notice a difference if i don't use this stuff for a few days, my skin practicly "itches" for it. love it.

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
it really helps for the whiteheads and it seems to prevent new small pimples
Cons:
im still getting some blackheads every no and then
i have used this for only one month so i cant really tell if it is working yet and i also started taking antibiotics at the same time i started this so i would recommend this for people with smaller pimples covering a big area.
Pros:
Its really great as far as making a acne bump go away do time
