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 (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Cons:
-It doesnt get rid of all blackheads.
I have tried this product in Dubai and in America. In the states it's way better and you can really tell the difference. After the first few washes i could see that my blackheads were less. It smells so good and is really gentle on your skin. I think the beads really help. I sometimes get pimples but I've used this product i havent gotten any break outs. I am in love with product and totally recommend it.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
It helps clear breakouts
Makes your skin soft
Smells good
Cons:
It sometimes gives you pimples instead of preventing them.
Sometimes makes your skin dry
I liked it. was kind of iffy on it because ive tried clean and clear produts before and they didnt do anything for me. And ive since always used neutrogena. But then that started to not work well so i switched back over and i was surprised. After one day my pimples were less noticeable. So i do recommend it!!

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
Creamy
Leaves my skin hydrated
Evens out skin tone
Smells nice
Good price
Cons:
None so far
With other products I've used, my skin might clear up temporarily but the acne always comes back worse than before. More than that, the harsh chemicals leave my sensitive skin looking like it's been sunburned. With Aveeno my skin has begun to clear slowly and naturally with no redness or irritation. I don't care if it takes a longer time to see results, not looking like a lobster is well worth it.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Marks Wash and Mask)
Pros:
None
Cons:
Doesn't work
I've been using this religiously for a few months now, and I have seen absolutely NO difference in my skin. This product doesn't work. It makes your skin feel tight, but it doesn't help at all. My skin still felt oily and it really didn't help my acne at all. Don't waste your time with this product.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Cleanser)
Pros:
Has Cleared my face, makes it very less oily, great clean feeling, feels great.
Cons:
at one point i mistakenly forgot to wash off some of the cream, so i ended up somewhat "burning" the edge around my face and ears. (skin peeled - like a sunburn)
very happy with the results. but had to jump a few hurdles to get to it.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
Works Fast
Cheap
No Foul Odor
Cons:
Temporarily Burns
Product Does NOT Work unless....
I've had severe acne on my cheeks for years & despite the great reviews, this product didn't work for me. To be sure this product didn't suck, I did a little experiment... No matter how much I washed my face before applying the Spot Treatment at night, I still awoke with severe acne on my cheeks. So then I developed a system:
1. Wash my face
2. Use an Oxy Cleansing Pad to get the excess dirt
3. Apply Spot Treatment to my cheeks
4. Cover Spot Treatment Areas with Square Bandaids to keep bacteria out. The first night I did this, I only covered my right cheek with a band-aid in order to have a more accurate result. The next morning, my right cheek had reduced its swelling & the acne had disappeared instead of resurfacing like it usually does. My left cheek, however, hadn't healed & continued to resurface with acne. The next night, I followed my procedure again but covered both cheeks with a band-aid. The next morning, my severe acne had COMPLETELY disappeared on both cheeks! Since then, I have continued this procedure every night. I now have beautiful skin.
So in all, I don't think there is anything wrong with the product, just the procedure in which you use it.
Try my procedure out, I'm sure you will be satisfied.

Cons:
Made me break out
Usually I love burts bees, so I tried this (i was also looking for something without sodium laurel/laureth sulfate). But a day after I started using it i got 2 or 3 very angry pimples a day, for the few days I was using it... when I stopped, no new pimples. Did not work for me. I have mild/moderate acne that seems to be stress related. My skin is on the dry side as well, and pale.

Product used: Clearasil (Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Made my skin feel smooth.
Cons:
Did nothing for my acne
i gave this product a fair chance, i used it 2 x a day for about a week but it was way too harsh on my skin.So i only decided to use it 2 times a week. It lasted me about 2 months, so i really gave it a fair shot.
This may be an affordable product and it may make your skin feel smooth but thats really all there is to it .

Product used: Clearasil (Maximum Strength Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
Cleans skin with out soap
Makes face REALLY smooth
Cons:
Burns a little at first
Makes ur face red for about a minute
These things work way better than this clinique stuff. It cleans you face and makes it really smooth. They can make ur face a little dry so use moisturizer.
Pros:
-Really does get rid of blackheads
-It smells awesome
-It makes your skin so soft and clean without drying it up.
