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:
maybe a little too pasty
Had this annoying forehead acne that wouldn't go away with any cleaner and night creme, but I saw a significant difference with this product after only a week.
It's working so far, hope it stays that way!

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
Removes Oil from face.
Cons:
Very very harsh, completely drys out face, causing me to get a dry cracked up skin, followed by a rash two days later. It does what it says it does, but its just too hardcore on your skin.
I don't recommend it, it's way too harsh on the skin, plus my acne actually got a little worse.

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Light, Easy to use (rinsing off wise), and the pump is useful. It also keeps mild acne under control and evens out skin tone.
Cons:
Can dry out skin if not used with a moisturizer.
I would definitely recommend this for people with Mild Acne who also want to even out their skin tone. If you want a light cleanser this works well too.

Pros:
Cheap, easy to apply, fades stubborn acne scars
Cons:
None that I can think of
This stuff is great! My scars are fading drastically in only a weeks time. It's also a very affordable price! I don't get why people say there is a funky smell...to me it doesn't have a smell and if it does it's obviously not noticeable. The tube is small, but a little bit goes a long way! And for the price, you really can't complain :) Some reviewers state it burns their skin, that's never happened to me. I don't even feel it when I apply it, and I forget it's there from then on, so idk. Maybe it depends on peoples skin type.

Product used: L'Oreal (Pure Zone Pore Tightening Astringent)
Pros:
With a vigilant routine, it works well to clear the skin up. Just be patient as it may take a few days after starting a regime for it to have real effect. But that patience really pays off. Been using it twice a day for a year and my skin is awesome!
Cons:
Not for sensitive skin. but the sting does go away after a while as your skin adapts.
Get it - but only expect results if you keep to a good and simple skin routine. Cleanse, tone and moisturise. It's my skin care mantra and it works with this toner.

Product used: Clearasil (Daily Face Wash, Sensitive)
Pros:
smells nice, is affordable
Cons:
Does not work. It says it gets rid of spots in 3 days, which yes, it did, but after that my skin got MUCH worse. Basically it only gave me better skin for 3 or 4 days.
I wouldn't but it again. Made my skin worse.

Product used: La Roche-Posay (Effaclar K)
Pros:
It makes your skin nice and cool. It clears the blemishes
Cons:
It's kinda pricey and I'm a natural person so i would they ysed less chemicals and more natural ingredients
Give it a try for sure!!! I use the face wash (effaclar) and the effaclar K Daily renewal fluid. i also put pure tea tree oil on my pimples and it dries them up well. However, the lady at the store tested my skin and said it needed moisture so you may wanna check out the effaclar H. I'm working my way up to it, next month i'll buy it. Ps. I started using these because the lady gave me a sample of the effaclar K, so maybe get a sample first and try it for a week, dime size will do the job and you can see the difference. Remember pimples also get worst during PMS time so it may not be the best time to test a product, wait till after.

Pros:
It last long and reduces some redness
Cons:
Takes a -long- time to show effects.
I used it for about two weeks and it really didnt do much for me.
Maybe thats just me, but I stopped using it and well not much of a difference. Its an alright product for someone with patience and/or doesnt care how long your acne will clear up =]]
Pros:
started working quickly (less than 1 week)
smells good
reasonable amount for the price
