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.

A very decent product, clears away blackheads after two weeks or so & makes skin feel lovely, soft, fresh & smooth.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
-cleans skin
-exfoliates
Cons:
-leaves skin VERY irritated
-tight skin, can't move my face without it hurting.
-overdries
Well, I was excited when I went down the hall and found an exfoliater in the closet, so I picked it up and started using it. I have very very sensetive skin, and I do NOT reccomend this product for anyone else who has sensetive skin. It leaves your skin burning and irritated. If I smile, then let my face go back to neutral, it burns after about 3 seconds. I don't know how it works for those with normal skin, but mine feels tight and dry right now.

Cons:
Makes acne worse, does not clear up acne
Wanted to trial an 'all natural' acne cleanser that was less expensive than one I was using. I switched to Burt's Bee's and it did not help clear my acne. I think it made it worse.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Pimple Control Cleanser)
Pros:
* its not too harsh on the skin
*does not require harsh scrubbing
*does not irritate my sensitive skin
*if used daily does remove pimmples, to light acne
Cons:
*may dry out skin if not used with a oil free moisturiser
it is a product ive been using for a couple of month and i feel it has been working to a certain extent. It teamed with my St. Ives apricot scrub ( which i use every other day) has helped clear up my skin. The only downside i feel being that without a good oil free moisturiser, it does dry out the skin as it contains salicylic acid, which is what helps rid the skin of pimples. I definitly recommend this to people with few pimples or have light acne. It is quite effective and definitly worth a try.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Mark Treatment)
Pros:
Works! I use it as an all over topical at night and it really keeps my acne under control. I used to think it didn't do anything but then I went a while without it and...well...that was unpleasant.
Cons:
Didn't fix everything for me.
I've been using this product for a very long time now. It really was the first step in my skin becoming perfect as it is today. After using this for a while, I went on birth control, which seemed to help a teeny tiny bit with acne, but then I started using the whole kit that goes with this treatment. Now I am CURED! The kit really worked for me. I reviewed it on this site as well.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
cheap
smells good
**WORKS**
Cons:
none
This stuff works!! I used ACNE.ORG regimen for a year and had no problems. All of a sudden it wasnt working anymore. A friend of mine offered me the Clean & Clear to try and I am SO thankful she did. Its been 30 days I have not had a single break out and my face isnt dry like it was with the Benzoyl Peroxide.My skin looks great !!
DEFINETLY worth a try.It probably wont work on everyone but for me it was a lifesaver!!!!

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Acne Wash Cream Cleanser)
Pros:
gets rid of acne.
got rid of my oily skin.(:
Cons:
DRIES OUT SKIN REALLY BADLY! :(
I used this twice a day for about 3 days and my skin feels like sand paper. DRIES OUT SKIN!! I have tried putting lotion/moisturizer and it didn't help. I put moisturizer on about 20 times a day and my skin was still dry. I have sensitive skin and it might work for other types of skin but if you have sensitive skin i don't recommend it!

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer)
Pros:
-makes my skin smooth&soft
-makes my skin glow
-evens out skin tone
-doesn't feel greasy or oily
-moisturizes well when using drying acne products.
-gets rid of most breakouts, doesn't cause any new ones.
Cons:
Expensive :/ that's the only con.
Bottom line is this is the ONLY moistuizer i have ever tried that does all those things for my skin. Most make my skin oily, and breakout or don't moisturize enough. This actually makes my skin look and feel amazing, and for a little while i have been trying to use cheaper products, but my skin will not have it. They have all irritated my skin and broke me out. So yes, i recommend this. The price is WELL worth it for me i love it and my skin won't have any other.
