| Pros: | A nice creamy formula that has pretty much abolished my cystic and comedonal acne :)
No medicine smell (or at least it is not strong to me) |
| Cons: | Drying for the first few days but drying does subside
Must make sure to avoid eyes and mucosal surfaces since it is an antibacterial. |
| Bottom Line: | Compared to some of the facial washes I was purchasing for my face, this item is comparable if not cheaper! I am |
| Recommended: | Yes |

| Pros: | I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide and I had pretty bad acne. So I went to the dermitologist and they told me to try it. I did and WOW!! Amazing results! |
| Cons: | None At All! |
| Bottom Line: | It really works and my face looks great! And because I have great insurance I got it really cheap! |

| Pros: | Really good this stuff works!! I have been using it with Epiduo & Solodyn for almost 2 weeks and the results are amazing!! I used to have about 12 pimples (more new ones everyday!) now I have about 3 with no new ones! Even the dark spots are fading! |
| Cons: | I had some drying for about a week & 1/2, but the dryness is mostly gone now. Especially if you moisturize, the dryness isn't a problem. I don't really even notice a sulfur smell at all. And it's prescription. |
| Bottom Line: | This stuff is great!!! I had no side effects and my acne started clearing up almost immediately! It's a miracle lol because I have had acne for a good 2 years and nothing OTC worked for me! The only downfall would be it could be exspensive, but my family's insurance covered it. |

| Pros: | It works wonderfully!
Slight sulfer smell, but it doesn't linger |
| Cons: | Prescription only
Expensive without insurance |
| Bottom Line: | I've had acne for years, along with Rosacea, so my skin is very sensitive to scrubs, etc. I am so amazed at how well this works - i'm finally happy with my skin for the first time in a long while. Tip: the form i use is on packaged cleansing cloths, and i cut them in quarters so they last longer and place the unused pieces back in the pkg until ready to use. Even the 1/4 size has plenty of cleanser on it. |

| Pros: | good for sensitive skin. |
| Cons: | none! |
| Bottom Line: | This product is amazing! I've been using this for about 10 months and i have not gotten any big break outs. Just a pimple or two once and a while but not even big enough to even be noticed. I started seeing results after about two weeks and was completely clear in about four. It's very affordable if you have insurance about 10 bucks and works great. If you have not used it yet you should definitely give it a try!! I would totally recommend this product!! |

| Pros: | Really does work. I no longer get any cystic breakouts and the tiny pimples are barely visible. |
| Cons: | Kind of drying but not to the point where you feel that your face is craking. A mild sulfur smell as the lotion melts more into your face over time due to your body heat |
| Bottom Line: | I used to use sodium sulfacetamide 10% and sulfur 5% in an actual lotion formulation (cream based). It didn't see THAT much improvement. But then again, I used it when I first started the treatment so there was a lot of work that the prescription had to do on my face. But later on switched over to the liquid formulation and it is soooo much better. I feel that the liquid formulation is much more effective. And the liquid formulation has a slight sheer pink tone to it, so I feel that it makes my skin tone look more even. I was given tinter drops along with the lotion so i could match the lotion to my skin tone, but I chose not to use the tinter. I no longer get ANY major breakouts. No more cysts. The tiny pimples sometimes do flair up, but they're not big and red the way they used to be. And the tiny ones heal very quickly. |

| Pros: | Works
Non-irritatiting |
| Cons: | Pricey if your insurance doesn't cover it, but in my opinion, 200$ is worth it if its going to clear up my face! |
| Bottom Line: | I have had to deal with acne for years...have been on every Rx and over the counter medicine under the sun, nothing works. Just got put on the soduim sulfacetamide/sulfur wash and topical lotion and in one day i'm already seeing a MAJOR difference. If this stuff clears my face completely, I'm going to ask my new doctor to marry me. |

| Pros: | Clear, no smell, not drying or irritating |
| Cons: | Expensive because of my new insurance :( |
| Bottom Line: | This under my makeup along with Differin Gel .3% were the only 2 treatments that really kept my skin clear. I eventually stopped using this thinking it didn't do much and have been on Ziana gel. However, Ziana gel is awful so I'm going back to what worked best. |
