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.

This product does help the skin appear fresher and a bit smoother. However, if you want to fade red/brown marks this is not the best option. My marks did not fade at all and the product is definitely not worth the price. The mushroom extract in it doesn't help the smell either. Keep looking for better...

It actually does what it says, after a few days my spots really started clearing up!

None I know of
The most effective face product I've used,and you feel the smoothness and freshness after every face wash!It's good quality and anytime I get a bad breakout, using Clearisal Ultra really helps to shrink it, and clear it.

February 8, 2012
Pros:
Smells good
Helps prevent most breakouts
Cons:
Doesn't do much for current breakouts
I started using this a few months ago, and for the most part I haven't got much acne. However, sometimes I still do break out, and when I do this doesn't help very much.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
Smells pretty good
Cons:
Clogged my pores
Pretty abraisive on skin
I used to use this all the time when I was in high school. Then I started switching products like crazy, trying to find SOMETHING that would work. I recently went back to this product. Big mistake. I got painful cysts, my nose broke out horribly, and my pores looked huge. I don't know why I went back to this product considering how bad my skin was in high school. Also the particles were just much too abraisive and rough on my skin.

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash, Pink Grapefruit)
Pros:
Cheap
Great Smell
Cons:
Over-Drying
Itchy
And just to make this clear I didnt have Acne until after using this product.
The one I used wasn't called Acne wash, but called Visibly clear. But I'm asuming there pretty much the same.

Product used: Biore (Pore Unclogging Scrub)
Pros:
*Skin feels great after use..as I said in my other review..
*Smoother skin
*Leaves skin feeling refreshed.
Cons:
*Doesn't help acne in the long haul
*Harsh
*Actually bad for skin and acne
I bought this product and I had great things to say about it (reviewed it on here :) ) but it did a complete 180. I have 2 painful blemishes now that poped up when using this product and ive never had painful zits near my lip before. It also stop helping my acne and seemed to irritate my skin by leaving dry patches. I recommend Neutrogena again because its the only thing ive found that helps teens like me :(
