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: Dermalogica (Clean Start)
Cons:
-full size products are pricey
I first purchased the mini kit of travel sized products, after about a month of acne free skin i purchased the full sized products. i have used proactive, clean and clear, natural remedies and clinique but this has shown the best improvement in my skin. i especially love the "bedtime for breakouts" product, im not sure what it is but if leaves my skin looking AMAZING the next morning!

Product used: Clean & Clear (Blackhead Clearing Scrub)
Pros:
Refreshing
Cleared light blackheads in ONE TRY!
Smells good
Clears face of oil
Helps get rid of small pimples (not acne)
Cons:
Dries skin out a little
doesn't get rid of deep blackheads that well (depends on skin type)
If you have light blackheads you should use it,
it totally helps. Massage deeply for about 20 seconds for a better result.
EXTRA: To get rid of the deep blackheads, don't use in the shower. Just put it on a damp washcloth and rub deeply where there are blackheads.
The bottle lasts about a 3/4 month.

Product used: Sea Breeze (Actives Deep Clean Astringent)
Pros:
Clears acne, feels refreshing.
Cons:
Nonneeeee :)
So I'm 13 and so my acne isn't too bad it just bothers the heck outta me. The thing is people assume that the more expensive the item the better but that isn't really true. This cheap product cleans up what causes the acne but doesn't have horrible chemicals that dries out your face. I cleaned up my diet and used this about 3 times a day and I am very happy with the results :)))

Pros:
Clears up skin
Smooths out dead skin leaving new, soft skin
Cons:

It will irritate your skin if you use it ever day, i asked a professional at a spa and she told me not to use a scrub every day, only three times a week should do it.

Product used: Clean & Clear (Advantage Acne Spot Treatment)
Pros:
-inexpensive
-doesn't cause acne
-tingles
Cons:
-leaks out of lid
-doesn't reduce spots
-doesn't work with makeup
I used this for a few years, but I don't think it actually does anything, I have used some far better on the spot treatments! It says you can wear this over or under makeup which is also a lie. I've tried lots of different foundations with this and application techniques but it comes straight off with makeup in an orangeybrown clump of gloop. My main problem with this product is that the packaging is rubbish! I'd take the lid off and it would flow out of the nozzle and not slow until my fingers were covered. The lid was always full of congealed gloop because it leaks so much.
EVERY tube I had did the same thing - very frustrating. I wrote Clean and Clear a letter about this and they very kindly sent me a £2 voucher. The product costs more than a fiver and I've bought about 15 tubes because of the leaks. Cheers Johnson and Johnson.
