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)
Pros:
It is very easy to use and most people complaining here must be using it too often or not for spot treatment only because I see no dark spots and have no stinging.
Cons:
Nothing really, I mean it'd be cool if it made the acne go away completly in a day, but this is as close as it gets.
Buy it and use it consistently for spot treatment.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
easy to use, only one step
Cons:
horribly drying and no apparent effect
i first used this product because it was reccommended to me by a couple of my friends. i used it for a week straight and it actually made my face peel. i used a moisturizer three times a day because it was so bad but it didn't stop peeling for about three weeks.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
reduces the overall look fo ym acne
Cons:
stings
I just started to use this product, i bought it yesterday. (I have mild acne)
So far, it does not reduce redness, but my acne does look less noticeable.
It does sting, a bit. ONLY USE IT FOR SPOT TREATMENT. remember not to cover your entire face in this!
I am not sure about this product so far, since I just started to use it, so i will put everything as 3 for now.

Product used: Neutrogena (Rapid Clear Acne Eliminating Spot Gel)
Pros:
I found this really worked on my skin and i noticed a huge improvement after a couple of days .Only need a tiny amount.
Cons:
leaves a shiny film on the skin if you use too much. Its only a small tube .
I would say this is worth trying because i have tried everything from antibiotics ,creams,lotions and potions and this is the only over the counter product that works for me .

Product used: Nature's Cure (Anti-Acne Papaya Skin Care System)
Pros:
NONE
Cons:
A LOT
It made my skin SO dry. I didn't have acne before, but thought I would try it for breakouts around my period, etc. Now I have all these little skin colored bumps on my face. I've stopped using it.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
non-greasy, shrinks pores, softens skin, feels light
Cons:
no SPF, the smell can be a bit strong to some
AMAZING! not only does it keep my face from being oily at the end of the day, it also makes my pores look smaller so i don't have to use additional products on my face. not greasy at all.i don't understand some of these reviews because it seems like the bad reviews are for another product...maybe the positively radiant moisturizer? or if you broke out you might be allergic to salicylic acid. i have combination skin that is prone to breakouts and i have had no problems at all...and salicylic acid usually dries my skin out pretty bad.
Pros:
none
