because strong acids would also dissolve/damage metal parts of the thing you're cleaning so "weaker" acids are used instead.
Is limescale remover a acid or alkali?
Hydrochloric Acid HCl. It's used in brick cleaning solution for builders to get rid of cement mess they have left. More diluted is Patio Cleaner, but this you will find in most stores as it is for home use. The problem with HCl for limescale removal is that it is so powerful. As I said above it used to eat away cement! If this sits in your plastic pipes it will melt them or whatever you are cleaning (including your skin). If you insist in using it make sure it is diluted and make sure you flush it out of your drain pipes completely and into the sewer. If it sits there you will need new pipes. The safer option is something like citric acid which is in a lot of limescale removal products. Yeah it is slower, but it won't damage anything. You asked which is the quickest and the answer is HCl, but there are reasons not to use it.

It may mean you have limescale at the bottom of your faucets meaning you should use limescale remover to make it go away. Another reason is that it could mean that your faucets are blocked so you should get a speacialised person to check it out.
