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 Cleanser)
Cons:
everything. it makes your skin dry and flaky. DOES NOT WORK!
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. if you have normal skin like i used to have it will become dry and flaky. you wont be able to cover up anything with makeup because it doesnt go on nice with flaky skin. the medication helped the slittest bit the first couple of days but after that i brokeout like i had never brokenout before. it was horrible!!! now i cant get my skin back to how it was. dont waste your money on this crap, instead go for a more natural remedy like lemon juice and if that doesnt work, try apple cider vinigar- much better than any acne treatment i ever tried. GOOD LUCK!

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Cleared my skin in a few days!!!! I love the dermo-calm complex. This is the ONLY cleanser that works for my face.
Cons:
It's not in stores anymore and it's hard to find on the internet now...I'm so upset that this product is so hard to get a hold of. IT works for so many people, I'm not sure why they would discontinue it. There is nothing like this out there.
The best cleanser out there. Good luck trying to fing it though!!

Pros:
NONE!!
Cons:
Worst thing I have ever used on my face. Please do not use it!!! It is way too harsh and made my face break out horribly. I had mild, comedonal acne before and now I have full-blown moderate/severe acne!!
Save yourself the agony...and do not try it!!!

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
nice lather, affordable, cleans skin well
Cons:
not really for anti-acne.
doesn't helps subside zits and redness
If you are looking for anti-acne, this DOESN'T work as one. it helps reduce, but it doesn't clear out acne completely.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
Smells nice. Moisturized really well.
Cons:
Didn't do a thing for my skin.
It didn't work to clear up my skin, but it did moisturize it very well. My skin wasn't greasy after the application, nor was it shinny. Guess I got lucky, haha. This may work for someone who has maybe one or two blemishes, but not someone who has a more severe case.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Does what it says it does.
Cons:
Doesn't do what it says it does for very long.
The 3-day promise came true for me. Past that, not a whole lot of improvement. The formula is WAY too harsh--the scrubbing bits left me itchy and the cleanser itself made my skin dry out. After a few months, my skin is worse than ever.

Product used: Stridex (Maximum Pads with Salicylic Acid, Alcohol Free)
Pros:
It has a nice pad not to hard on trying to find out the right amount to put on your face.
Cons:
It does not work right away and leaves skin oilly, and wet.
The bottom line is if you are willing to wait for a long time( one mounth) to see a little bit of a diffrence on your face them don't buy this product. it actually made my face worse after it looked better.
Pros:
smells nice
