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: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser)
Cons:
Doesn't prevent acne from forming, needs to be used consistently, not the best smelling product
I noticed a difference in a week after i started using it. It made most of my pimples either go away completely, or made them much smaller. I'm not really all that happy with how it smelled, but it could have been a lot worse. I love how my skin feels after I use it, it's so soft!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It makes your skin soft
it helps reduce pimples and clears skin
Cons:
It only works for about 2 months

It is good up until 2 months then your skin gets used to it and acne pimples stress and problems start to come back

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
OMG worst product ever i put it on next morning i HAD A RED face of marks on my forhead and checks and every where...
Cons:
Nope its deffenitlyy the worst product ever .. never will use Clean and clear again.
Its supposed 2 reduce redness but made every pimple GLoW Red and Dry and i cant even cover it up .. anyways bottom line they do this for you to try there secondary product. Just try Natural stuff. Because chemicals will just make your face worse and even if it did work you will have to apply it for the rest of your life so they make money and if u dont apply it you will have the worst face.

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Defense Lotion)
Pros:
Didn't cause excessive dryness
Cons:
Didn't really make acne disappear and did not see a difference in 8 hours or 2 weeks either
Was disappointed as far as a Neutrogena product. I thought it would be more reliable.

Pros:
scrubbing beads
Cons:
redness, burning, not much help
worked a little but for the most part left my skin red and still prone to breakouts - was hoping it'd live up to the stress prone breakouts (which i have) but didnt seem to do that

Pros:
Helps somewhat but not worth the price.
Cons:
This stuff stinks badly!!
I bought this product like a dummy hoping it would raise a sunken acne scar. What a joke, it will not take that away. I tried it anyhow and it wont fill in the missing skin. I used it for hyperpigmentation as well. It doesnt do much. Not worth the price. Lemon juice is alot cheaper and would be more effective. I think its for red marks after the acne subsides. Overall, the products sucks. It does soften the scars but doesnt do much else. You have to apply it 2x a day and you will only see results after about a month of applying it as it says on the box.

Product used: Stridex (Maximum Pads with Salicylic Acid, Alcohol Free)
Pros:
Gets rid of dirt on pores
Cons:
Only gets rid of dirt on pores
It does a real good job of getting the dirt off the pores, however it really isn't much of a medication, so you should continue to use another medication that is meant to clear acne, not just the pores.
