I don't have acne but more of a rosacea type dermatitis that has plagued me for several years and this product has stopped the b umps from occuring.The sulpher seems to keep the bumps at bay and I recommend keeping it on your skin to keep the l lesions from forming.

Pros:

Dries out zits fast. Masks blemishes.

Cons:

Awful sulfur smell.

I think this is the greatest. I now associate the the awful smell with the demise of the zits. Great stuff.

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)

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:

In the 4 days I've been using this is has cleared up 3 brand new cystic pimples! Sulfer works very well for me and this stuff has 8% in it! Also it helps keep my very oily skin less greasy!!

Cons:

It doesn't seem to spread well on my skin. When I use it alone it kind of feels like I'm wearing a super thin clay mask. I've found that if I put on oil free moisturizer then immediately apply acnomel I get a much better consistency.

This product is amazing!!! I've been going to the dermatologist for over 10 years, have used differin, triaz, and a million other products and this one is at the top of my list so far!

Pros:

Works well.

Cons:

Relatively expensive
The color doesn't really match skin
Hard to absorb it to skin.

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:

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

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:

This works much better for me than what everyone else is saying. Overnight, or two nights, it clears acne up, which nothing else I've used can do. About the scent of it: I like the way it smells! It's like getting a clay facial.

Cons:

It can dry skin out, but it's a topical thing, not meant to be smeared over your whole face. Some moisturizer might help, or skip it for a night.

The best acne medication I have found.

Pros:

It works great, pimples are gone within a week or two, one quick easy step, size of tube is good for travel, much cheaper than stupid ineffective treatments with 3+ steps that take forever to use. Doesn't irritate my skin. Tube lasts a couple months.

Cons:

I guess the only con is the smell, but it isn't very strong and it doesn't last long, Neither me or my boyfriend really notice it.

I've tried those $20 3+ step acne kits from Clearasil and Clean & Clear. One of them worked okay, and only worked noticeably well if I used it three times a day instead of two. Between the price and time consumption, it wasn't worth it to me. I have somewhat oily skin and had pretty bad acne ever since my younger teens (I am 20 now). My mom found this tube of Adult Acnomel at a salvage grocery store (so she probably got it way cheaper than the price I entered below). She had never really seen acne treatments with the same ingredients, so she thought it might work and gave it to me. And it does! The only time I have ever seen my face this clear is when I lived in Canada for a year and the dry air dried out my skin. Every morning I wash my face with a bar of Irish Spring soap, rub on the Adult Acnomel, and then repeat before bed. That's it. If Adult Acnomel hasn't worked for you, I recommend washing your face with the Irish Spring bar first like I do (or just about any bar

Pros:

It works quickly and does not stain fabric like benzoyl peroxide does and works MUCH better!

Cons:

Can be drying and is hard to find

I have been on everything for acne, even Accutane.. (which did work, but is not safe and when you go off of it, your skin tends to go back to its old ways) This is the only affordable and safe option and I have tried everything and anything.. This is great for people whose skin does not respond well to salicylic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide creams... It does not necessarily prevent breakouts, but does treat them quickly!
