Pros:It is a pretty good product for adult acne. I'd like to recommend this for people who might be suffered with adult acne. I have been using this product for 6 months.
Cons:It causes little driness to my skin. It smell pretty bad but tolerable. It is tinted which means guys can't use it daytime.
Bottom Line:I've tried Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic acid. The former worked but caused extremely dry skin, and the latter didn't work well.

I believe there are two "direct" causes which develop acne: bacteria and dead skin cells. If you tried antibiotics, such as Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic acid, and failed, you have to try this Sulfur and Resorcinol combination to prevent dead cells clumping together. It also work on inflammation; that means it reduces redness of your pimples.

I have been troubling with acne for a long time. And I tried dozen of products within 1 year. At least for my skin, this product works best. Nonetheless, I recommend you to choose proper cleansing and moisturizing products. They should cooperate.

As a intensive care cream for adult acne, it is recommended without doubt.

I put the CVS price without tax below. It cost a little bit low online although they usually require shipping/handling fees.

Pros:This is the only thing that works on my adult acne (I'm in my 40s). I can't use anything with benzoyl peroxide and I have very sensitive skin. This is an effective treatment that doesn't irritate my skin.
Cons:Smells pretty bad. The tint is too dark for my skin and doesn't lighten much when dry, so it can look like poison ivy lotion. I only use it at bedtime or for spot treatment. the creamy paste texture can dry crusty if applied too thickly.
Bottom Line:It's great stuff if you can find it. I have a terrible time locating this in stores and online. I also wish it came in a vanishing formula as it did years ago. If you can tolerate the smell, it's a wonderful product that doesn't irritate sensitive skin the way benzoyl peroxide does. I love it.

Pros:Doesn't dry my skin out like the benzoyl peroxide products do.
Cons:Sulfur-based, so it smells like a bit like sulfur.

The tint works for me, but I'm a very fair Caucasian -- I suspect it would look weird on someone with darker skin.
Bottom Line:Awesome.

Pros:I love this product. I always wanted a sulfur product after using proactivs mask. It dries out and clears my blemishes over night and keeps my skin from being oily during the day.
Cons:It dries out my skin, but the best regimen I've tried and I've tried ALOT is this Clearasil (sulfur) and 7x anti-aging lotion, after it dries. My skin does a 100% turn-around with those two products together. Want to heal pimples and marks fast?works
Bottom Line:Bottom line I am 26 and If I use medication my skin dries out like crazy and looks bad.
The only thing that works is this sulfur cream and the best lotion ever OIL OF OLAY 7x ANTI AGING is a miracle, it smoothes out my skin and puts a whole bunch of vitamins in it!!!!
ps...the sulfur is a lil stinky but well worth it. You just must be careful because some people are allergic to sulfur.

Pros:It works. This is the ONLY acne medication that I've found that COMPLETELY clears up my skin. (And I've tried every variation of benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid treatment out there...)
Cons:The smell. I don't mind it terribly, but my husband HATES it... It's got a potpourri scent with a hint of sulfer...
Bottom Line:I'm definitely sticking with it, and keeping my fingers crossed that Clearasil will fix the scent...

Pros:OMG this has been the best OTC purchase for my acne ever!! Acne Gone!!!!! Now I only Spot them if I get any other pop ups.
Cons:nothing,,,, I use it with confidence.
Bottom Line:I use now neutrogena on the spot creme at night, after washing w/dove sensitive skin, then 4 dabs 1 on ea cheek forehead and chin, then blend all over.. Morning after same wash, apply if needed to areas of concern w/adult tinted clerasil. I've never had to be worried of any breakouts before major events,parties,interviews,ect... I was assured to always be cleared and flawless. The Best Confidence Remedy...Smile

Pros:It helps cover up acne while treating it. It's works reasonably well.
Cons:The smell isn't bad at first but the scent it leaves on my pillow is intoxicating.
Bottom Line:I like and would recommend it. Sometimes, it's really obvious it's on my face but overall, it's one of the few things that's been making a difference.
