| Pros | *Dries up cysts and minor acne *Prevents forming cysts from surfacing and kills them! *Tinted cream makes me feel more comfortable in my skin, like I'm wearing makeup *Not as drying or damaging as BP *If you used minimally, can be worn under makeup |
|---|---|
| Cons | *will dry out your skin, but not as bad as BP *smell is strong before it dries, but it's not a bad smell *The tint of the cream is dark for pale skin *If you put too much under makeup, it will be noticeable and flake off. Be sure to put spf or moisturizer on top before makeup. |
| Bottom line | Cleared up multiple cysts I kept getting on my chin and around mouth for like 2 months! Now I just get minor acne every now and then that's not completely noticeable and embarrassing. |

| Pros | Blends well, keeps shine/oil under control for hours, nearly all day. I've used it since my 20's I'm 55 now. I have fair skin and wear light makeup. I'm a paleface type and use bronzer powder and other powder shades (Prestige is great) to blend the color for my skin tone. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can look pasty if not blended with diligence. I use glycerin and witch hazel mixed as an under moisturizer. Some times the Clean and Clear acne moisturizer underneath (Salicytic acid) |
| Bottom line | Good for all day oil control,dries out and a good product to target specific pimples. I like it and have used it for decades. I get it on the internet and buy in 12 tubes in bulk (1 tube/month) each year. I also have rosacea and it works well for that too. |

| Pros | Works well. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Relatively expensive The color doesn't really match skin Hard to absorb it to skin. |
| Bottom line | After getting allergic to BP, this was the first one that tried. I used it twice a day to treat my entire face. It worked well but stopped working for some reason after a month. While I was using it, it was hard to absorb it and left lines on the spots that i missed or didn't absorb well. I still use it as a spot treatment and works well. |

| Pros | I love this product. I am 58 years old and my dad introduced me to acnomel when I was in highschool, and didn't want to go to school one morning because of pimples. He used it on his back for years. If I catch a pimple early in is often gone by morning. I have introduced it to my children and all ny nieces and nephews. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Yes it can be a little drying. And if often dries up and darkens in the tube before its gone |
| Bottom line | For the price there is nothing better. |

| Pros | Tinted, hides blemishes Shine free skin ALL day Drys my skin out so its not so oily Has slightly reduced number and severity of acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Sometimes it can be too drying, i apply moisturiser underneath Sometimes can look a little un natural if you dont apply it right |
| Bottom line | I have been using this product for around two week and although its not a miracle cure it really helps me too cope with my acne 1. it drys out my skin which is great, i can put it on in the morning and leave my skin alone all day and it will still be shine free and matte at the end of the day (a miracle for my very shiny oily skin) 2. its tinted so it helps to cover up acne, on some good days you cant even see my acne, on the other hand sometimes if its not applied right it can streak and look unnatural 3. My acne has reduced; not completely but acnomel has made it a little better and so im willing to keep with it to see if it clears up even more ill be reporting back in a few more weeks |

| Pros | Cures acne very quickly. Works like magic! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Bad smell (my pillow case really smells like Sulphur - my husband hates the smell). Dries the skin a little (I have oily skin so it doesn't affect me too much) Ruins my fake jewelry (somehow it peels the top layer of silver-plated or gold-plated custom jewelry) |
| Bottom line | Works great! I'm very impressed. I love this product! It's the only product that cured my acne. Now I have very light or no acne; but before using this product I had very severe acne. Especially after taking Niaspan that one of my doctors prescribed me for high cholesterol - my acne rosacea was out of control! I highly recommend this product, the cons are really not a big deal - the results are spectacular. Good luck to all! |

| Pros | Gets rid of white heads and just beneath the surface white heads really fast. |
|---|---|
| Cons | NOT FOR COMBINATION SKIN!!! TOO DRYING |
| Bottom line | I think this stuff works if you have severe acne. I have light to moderate acne. When I used this product as a spot treatment on some beneath the surface pimples on my cheeks (stress related) it dried them out beautifully. I decided to use this stuff on the small beneath the surface pimples on my forehead, BAD IDEA! At first it seemed the product was working there too but after a few days I noticed extreme dryness and more small pimples. That happened December 2009 and I'm just now (February 2010) getting rid of those nasty little bumps. Bottom Line: Don't use this if you have combination skin. It's just gonna make you break out more. Probably best to use as a spot treatment on really bad, big pimples. |

| Pros | Tinted, so under makeup it helps hide the redness. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells weird, weird consistency when it dries so you can tell something is on your face.... |
| Bottom line | I thought this was working for me at first, it dried up a few of my zits a little bit. At that point, my zits weren't cystic. Then, after about a few days, it appeared that it made my acne more cystic-like/deeper in the skin. Making matters worse, it burnt off the top layer of skin over the large nodules so it was nearly impossible to cover up (and I'm very good at covering up my acne w/ makeup, and this product made it harder). Seems great after reading this reviews, I went out and bought it. But realized it was part of why my acne was getting worse. |

| Pros | Works great! Perfect and i mean PERFECT skin color match. When im wearing acnomel it just looks like i have perfect skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Smells. I can't smell it once it is on my skin, but when my bf goes in for a kiss he says he can DEFINITELY smell it. oh well : ) oh and i have trouble finding this product. I have only seen it in two stores. |
| Bottom line | I love love love this product. Before using acnomel i was using clearasil tinted treatment, which is basically the same item. They both contain Resorcinol (2%), Sulfur (8%) and are geared towards adult acne. I like acnomel better because of the consistency and the fact that it matches my skin PERFECTLY. When i apply this stuff it just looks like i have flawless skin. I havent gotten ONE pimple from using this item and it has dried out all of the small pimples that i did have. I basically use this as a foundation. My regimen consist of: Papaya bar Soap Witch Hazel Toner Acnomel (applied with a wet finger) I usually wait about 30 mins for the product to kind of melt into my skin and if my skin is not flaky i just apply blush over top and then leave the house!! IF my skin is dry then i can apply lotion on top and it'll leave my skin looking and feeling matte all day long! I think its also a wonderful primer. Before this i was using BP 5% which was working wonderfully but it was leaving my face really dry and dead looking. I'm trying the sulfur route now, and im quite happy with the results. |
