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.

Pros:
Actually works...
Cons:
...very slowly that is
Creamy/Gelly Texture with little crystals and unlike the other reviewers on here I noticed noticed nothing wrong with the smell.
It almost completely cleared up my newer scars ( 5 months old) in a matter of about 3 weeks. The older deeper scars are logically gonna take a little longer. So If you are going to use this expect it to take time.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Dual Action Moisturizer Oil-Free)
Pros:
Good Price for what you get. Overall a good deal. Lasts a long time.
Cons:
4% salicylic acid is too strong and makes my skin red and weird. Don't think it works for acne, but skin looks fantastic!
I mix a tiny bit of it with olay sensitive skin lotion and it works wonders! I hated it at first until I did some research and found that the salicylic acid concentration was too high.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
made my skin soft, smooth, and noticed a HUGE difference the next few days!
Cons:
alil stingy on the breakouts (but that means that the product is working)
i recommend it for people with combination skin like me. SA never cleared my acne, but when i started using BP, i noticed a difference and it doesnt dry out or irritate my skin like SA. so im blessed with BP!

Product used: St. Ives (Blemish & Blackhead Control Apricot Face Wash)
Pros:
At first i scrubbed it on my face & it was smooth. I thought it would heal my acne but when i woke up the next morning my face was EXTREMELY dry, rough, & breakouts everywhere. It made my face horrible.
Cons:
Smells nice
If you have extremely sensitive skin DON'T use this. You'll regret it i did.

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
It cleans skin well, works pretty good, and leave skin feeling clean
Cons:
kinda has a weird smell, takes awhile to see any kind of result
It works good. i wish it would work a lot faster though. it leaves skin feelng pretty good, i hav pretty bad bacne and it makes me self concious about taking of my shirt. i get embarassed when i hav to take my shirt off cuz i dont want to be seen with bacne. I hav been using this product for about a week now and i hav seen some results but not any major results. hopefully in another few weeks it will be mostly clear :)

Product used: L'Oreal (Acne Response Kit)
Pros:
Worked better than Proactive
Cons:
The lotion goes on real sticky and flakes off all throughout the day, so I only wear it at night.
Still not the "cure" I'm looking for, but so far it's the best treatment I've found.
