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:
It did absolutely nothing for my acne
It didn't clear up my skin at all. If anything, it may have made it a little worst. Complete waste of time and money, DON'T BUY IT!

Product used: Biore (Blemish Treating Astringent)
Pros:
It smells Good and makes skin feel tingly and refreshing. It feels like its working.
Cons:
I have like no acne before using it because I've have been using Clean & Clean Astringent which burns but work. This biore Astringent gave me a face cover in zits after a week.
Theres nothing Triple about, it just fools people with the packaging and smell.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Doesn't over-dry, smells okay, leaves your skin feeling smooth
Cons:
little beads get all over my sink/shower, doesn't remove blackheads like its says
Its not one of my favorite exflos, but it works okay and its pretty gentle.
Only use it once a week though (if you have sensitive skin), and don't scrub so hard, be sure to wash it all off! It tends to cling to your skin a bit.
It does not help remove blackheads, but a good exflo to have around.

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
Easy to apply
Cons:
Dried my skin out
Didn't work well
I've been using it for over a month, and it hasn't worked yet. The soap sort of runs off my chest, shoulder, and back, and has dried out my arms. It didn't clear the bacne...at all. It's a shame, too.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Worked a little bit.
Cons:
Extremely inconsistent, drying (even with lotion), bad smell.
Figured this would work, but does not work very much at all. Dried out my skin a ton, but only cleared up acne a little bit. Did not reduce redness at all, and is very deceiving. Packaging says that 100% of people show results after one day, but if they studied me I promise you that they would find no improvement. Trying another Clean and Clear product at the moment, but so far it is not working either. I'll cross my fingers for it, because this is the last chance I'm giving these products.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
I have used Clearasil products in the past without any issues... I saw this while shopping, in need of a new refill of acne soap, and I decided to try this out. But this was really a mistake!!! After two days of using this it has dried out my skin in patches and TOTALLY MADE IT WORSE. I have pimples now where I never had any before!! And this isn't the product just getting into your skin and removing whatever before it works like some products do, this just irritated it and now it wont go away! Do yourself a favor and don't use this. It's not worth it. :( If you're curious for another product, I'd recommend anything from St. Ive's. Their products were what kept my skin clear for years up until now!

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
It clears up acne well, and quickly, just like the product says. It also makes your skin softer.
Cons:
It's scratchy from the beads in it, be careful when rubbing it on your face, especially if you have sensitive skin.
It's a good product, it's well worth it. People have really noticed the difference in my skin, and it worked quickly. I use it in the morning, and at night I use a product with Benzoyl Peroxide, which prevents. This product has Salicylic acid, which more so attacks current acne, the combination of the two products gives you better results, but it works by itself too

April 21, 2008
Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Dries pimples up sometimes
Cons:
Burns and stings, dries your skin out, left red marks on my face.
I used this product hoping my pimples would reduce in size and redness like everyone claims however it burned the spots I applied it on and made my skin look worse, like a leopard. It also stings pretty bad when you apply it especially if your pores are open (like after washing your face)...I think its kind of a waist of money and a bit too harsh for my skin.
Pros:
It's a clear gel instead of a thick white cream
It didn't dry out my skin
