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:
Terrible scarring when zits are dried up
This product is horrible. It actually made my acne worse. It seems to work overnight, but really what it does is dry out your acne to the point of irritation. It ends up leaving a scar. I never used to scar before, and now I have several dark/red spots where there was a zit about 2 months ago.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Feels pretty good on the skin. Not too harsh, but not too fine. It has a bit of a cooling effect.
Cons:
Smells BAD. Does not clear away blackheads or minimize pores. It actually causes little whiteheads on my face whenever I use it!
I used this product every 2 or 3 days for exfoliation, except that it doesn't seem to be exfoliating anything. I am very disappointed in this product. It does not at all do what it says it will and I find the smell pretty offensive. I am throwing away a bottle that is half full; something that I have NEVER done in my life.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
I don't have severe acne...... But this clears it up very quickly. In about a day, but you have to use is 2-3 times a day.
Cons:
Burns! package not very big, smells terrible, peels off if you put on too much, and you have to use it 2-3 times for best results. (i can't remember to do that every time i have a pimple)it is also very pricey
It works very well but it does burn. It's well worth it though. It's very pricey for something so small. I did buy it again

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
I use the standard size one that's just for general use for my face. Much cheaper and I'm pretty certain it is more or less the same thing.
Cons:
It's just a moisturizer (shocking, I know).
I like it. It smells nice and softens my skin majorly.

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Love the sent. Works well with my skin after time. Non leak packaging. Bottles small enough to store easily.
Cons:
Toner comes out way too fast. Pills do nothing so i dont take them. Takes time to start working. Must use consistently or will not work.
It worked great with my skin which i have been trying to clear up forever. All of my friends were amazed.

Pros:
I bought this last night in the kit with the face wash and spot treatment. After using the kit once last night and once this morning my skin looks surprisingly better! my blemishes have almost cleared up completely:)
Cons:
price. $20 for the kit. still cheaper than proactive and about the same as other acne kits in the aisle.
try it, I assume it works for some and doesn't work for others.

Product used: Biore (Blemish Treating Astringent)
Pros:
Tightens skin, make skin look nice, dries out acne not your face, smells good, you can feel it working. It makes acne appear small. It's AFFORDABLE!
Cons:
The hole that it comes out of is too big and you need to get cotton pads to apply it on.
GET IT NOW if you have moderate acne and oily skin.
