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:
Clears up my acne shortly after I use it.
Cons:
none for me. people say it stings, but thats just it cleaning the skin. It feels good to me.
I love it. If I get a pimple, i use it twice a day untill it goes away. I also use the clean and clear moisterizer and morning burst.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
It does work REALLY well for me. After one use, I was actually a little amazed by the result.
Cons:
It's stingy and itchy. You have to keep it on for about 10 minutes for it to work really well. The little beads are quite messy.
It's a great Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub that works really well.

Gets into pores
Removes oil
Convenient (wipes) (portable)

Product used: Aveeno (Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser)
Pros:
Evens out skin tone dramaticly (note: Little brown spots and post acne marks) . Affordable compared to Murad and such. If you have light acne its worth the 11 bucks.
Cons:
DRYING. but only on my nose so i avoid that and wash everything else. ( honestly all cleansers to that to me)
Its worth it! my favorite cleanser. you have to figure out how to use it with your skin . Cleared up all my acne except some of the cysts but i have clear glowing skin now. PS USE LOTS OF AVEENO LOTION! and i use vasline on my super dry spots

Pros:
Smells awsome lol feels clean and fresh, good result
Cons:
Driying and stings when put on..
I bought this two days ago and when i first used it it was Great!! Butt aftter a day or two, I noticed loadss more pimples and redness on my forehead. Acording to some of my friends that is supposed to happen on the first week. Its called the cleansing period it brings all the dirt beneth to your skin so yeaa.. Anything else pretty good. So far so good.

Pros:
fades marks =D
Cons:
doesn't smell super (not bad though)
and it doesn't continue to work as well
I have totally clear skin, but i have awful post acne red marks!
i started this last week, i've used it 3 times. it worked amazinggg the first time, then it didn't continue to fade the marks for me.
but it's worth it, you should buy it! it does help. i think i need more time with it

Product used: Neutrogena (Oil-Free Anti-Acne Moisturizer)
Pros:
It absorbs fast, it gives a fresh feeling and it smells good.
Cons:
Doesn't work a lot on acne. However I think it makes them a little bit smaller.
I wouldn't recommend this product since I've found similar products (from Yves-Rocher) that is only slightly more expensive than this moisturizer.
Pros:
Works really well really fast
