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: Mary Kay (Blemish Control Toner 3)
Pros:
Great product! It is gentle yet attacks the acne full force. Zaps the zits! Makes my face feel clean and not too dried out and red.
Cons:
The price. Mary Kay isn't the least expensive around but it sure works. I guess ya get what ya pay for in a product like this one.
I would totally recommend this toner to anyone. Men and women can both use it as it's not too fragrant to where a man wouldn't like it. I haven't found anything else that works as well as the Mary Kay Blemish Control Toner and I have been using it for YEARS! I like to try new things but keep coming back to the Mary Kay.

Product used: L'Oreal (Acne Response Kit)

Product used: Clearasil (Maximum Strength Pore Cleansing Pads)
Pros:
Dries out and cures acne just as fast as rubbing alcohol, yet smells wayyy better, and burns wayyy less, and is probably better for the overall health of your skin since alcohol kills so much of your healthy skin.
Cons:
Makes your face pretty pink for a few minutes after using. Makes your skin a little dry.
It's my perfect alternative from rubbing alcohol since my doctor told me how bad alcohol is for your skin. It tingles but doesn't burn. It removes make up like a pro too, forreal. I love it.

The original formula was great. I always relied on it.
