Pros Only use this layers. Start with one application a day and move up. It works great. This is really improving my acne fast. 3 days now and a remarkable improvment. Do not pop your bumps. This will do wonders. Just give it time.
Cons The tint is real dark so I wear it when I am at home.
Bottom line My skin was moderate severe from what the dermatologist said. He also recommended to use somethig with benz peroxide in it. But do not use to much. Toom much will not help. Put on a thin layer through the day and at night as well. If your skin is handling the bp well then you may put on another thin thin layer during the day but I do not recommend 3 applications daily. It will take a couple days before you see results. If you put it on real small bumps, it will make it where they wont even come up. It has helped me so far. Atleast give it a shot.

Pros None.
Cons Stinks, the "tint" is too dark and most importantly it burned the skin around my pimple! About 5 minutes after application the skin on my face became red and swollen. I will never use a clearasil product again.
Bottom line This stuff sucks, big time.

Pros works well, a good alternative to benzoyl peroxide
Cons smells...pretty bad, not in a stinky garbage way, but a really ugly perfume. not unbearable, but hope it could be fixed
Bottom line The vanishing ones don't quite...vanish. there is still a tint..but over all.good enough.

Pros works on rosacea, gets skin back to normal color and will definately prevent whiteheads. I think it is slowly getting the gunk out of the blackheads too but they are stubborn.
Cons my husband called me a skunk, and also accused me of "not wiping" and refused to kiss me..this product smells like a garbage truck on a hot day.
Bottom line basically you got to already be married to try this stuff cause your face will stink so bad that u will turn men off..but hey,...there is a reason that I am still using it ..it works.

oh and at the office...people keep accusing me of lighting matches in my cubicle....cause I got this perma-stink thing now, but I guess its better than a permanently red and bump-filled face...which was the situation last year

so last year nobody could look at me...now they smile at me but they keep their distance.

I am complaining heavily about the stink because I hope that the makers of clearsil will make a "fragrance" free version cause I need this stuff and have no choice.

Pros This stuff worked immediately. I used "bye bye blemish" which was another sulfur base and decided to give this a try(it's half the price)The results are amazing, forget benzol peroxide and salicylic acid, this is the way to go.
Cons a little odor but it's worth it
Bottom line If you have been struggling with acne for years this is it. And if you haven't and it's just now a problem...you better use this stuff; it will save you from absolute torture.

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.
