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.

Cons:
It does not prevent pimples from forming, it only makes them less red. It did not have much overall effect.
It is ok if you only have occasional pimples that you just want to make less noticeable. However, I found it to be really more a medication that hides symptoms than it is a cure or treatment. I would only recommend it if you don't really have acne, just a few pimples occasionally. When I first started using it, I had only occasional pimples, not really acne at all, and it worked fine. Later, when I developed adult on set acne, it failed to make any difference, even for mild acne.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
Smells good.
Cons:
Makes your skin more oily.
Makes your skin break out more.
Okay, I started to break out a lot on my face. Mostly around the forehead area. And I went to CVS to see which face cleanser I should buy. I didn't want to go for something cheap. So I saw Clearasil on the bottom shelf, it was around $10, and the bottle was very ATTRACTIVE. So I got that one. I used to for a week, washed my face 2 times a day, but only 1 time when I first started using it, and I didn't see ANY results! My face began to break out MORE! And my face became MORE oily. I returned the bottle, and got Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Daily Wash, and I saw IMPROVEMENT in almost 3 uses. I'm loving it!

Product used: Stridex (Maximum Pads with Salicylic Acid, Alcohol Free)
Pros:
Container comes with 55 pads to last u about a month. Its alcholol-free so your skin won't burn as bad. And u actually see all the dirt and excessive oils after using a pad. Portable.
Cons:
Using more than two pads a day will result in a dryness of skin.
Stridex will work on mild to moderate acne, as long as u don't use too much.

Product used: Neutrogena (Body Clear Body Wash)
Pros:
Works GREAT for Back Acne and around the Neck and Chest area
Cons:
It takes awhile to kick in
You have to be consistent with it. That means in morning and in the evening. Give it a few weeks and your skin will be perfect. It's not easy, but be patient.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
1. Amazing results during the first two weeks of usage.
2. Keeps skin oil-free, which is why I still use the product.
Cons:
1. This product does not get rid of pimples after less than a month of usage.
2. Makes skin dry.
If other acne products do not work for you, I'd suggest you give it a shot and try Clearasil. (If you need more information, feel free to contact me at itsdanax3@[link removed])

Product used: Arbonne (Clear Advantage System)
Pros:
Smells great, instantly makes skin softer
Cons:
Waiting for shipment, no exfoilatior
I have been using this line for around 6 months. I don't have sever acne but there are pimples on my face the majority of the time. I guess the salicylic acid works better for me. Within two days of using arbonne i noticed an impressive improvement. I don't talk the supplement but i do use an additional exfoilatior twice a week. I would recommend this product to people who have sensitive skin and light-moderate acne. I love it!
September 24, 2008
Pros:
Makes skin feel very smooth and moisturized. Smells great. Easy to apply.
Cons:
Doesn't do anything for acne. Expensive.
It could work for people with light acne, or someone just looking for a great moisturizer. For acne control? Not so much.
