it's also perfumed. why would they do that?

Pros:I am 46 and have acne my whole life- this is the first product that worked (other than antibiotics). It is very oil absorbant too. I have tried EVERYTHING including BP, retin A, the ZENO(worthless), Salicylic acid, Zinc, DIM, ...
Cons:Has odor- wear at night
Bottom Line:If you had acne - you must try it. Wait at least a month to judge. Get it at Walgreens
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Susan has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Dries out zits fast. Masks blemishes.
Cons:Awful sulfur smell.
Bottom Line:I think this is the greatest. I now associate the the awful smell with the demise of the zits. Great stuff.

Pros:Dried up my huge cystic 'take forever to surface' pimples, keeps me from having to constantly wash my face, one application lasts all day
Cons:The color in it is streaky
Bottom Line:I'm not used to having acne, I was lucky enough to grow up with perfect skin until about two years ago when I turned 21. Now I get blackheads, whiteheads and HUGE cystic pimples that will hang around for months under the skin-deep in my tissue and hurt. I was about to give up and shell out $$ for a dermatologist and saw that this had sulfur in it-the last OTC thing I had not tried. I smeared some on and two hours later my biggest most painful cyst was already half the size it was before. Im hoping I continue to see results *knocks on wood*

Pros:I started using Acnomel 40 years ago when it was in a compac-type container and available everywhere in the USA. It is the very best acne product ever made.. I don't have acne now, but facial shingles - it is keeping control of the blisters!!
Cons:Availability of product in USA, and I preferred the old formula that was in the compac container, but have understood that there was an ingredient that the FDA prohibited which has since been removed... A lighter shade would be less obvious for day.
Bottom Line:Acnomel is the best - I used it consistently for years, until one of my children insisted I dispose of the compac because I'd had that one for 20+ years and she was concerned about contamination (not a sensible argument, but I relented) Then several years ago, my skin started breaking out again (not great at 50-years of age), we were in Nelson on vacation, I found Acnomel in a tube in the drug store and my skin problems were resolve before I returned home. When I broke out with shingles on my neck and face last year, after using assorted RX creams, I got out the old tube of Acnomel and "Voila" the blisters dried up immediately. I still get a few blisters in moments of stress, use acnomel at night (and during the day if not going out) and the shingles blisters are under control. I'm in my 60's and I'm thankful the product is available.
