Pros:

AMAZING. I have cystic acne, and it cleared it right up. I've never had such a pleasant reaction to acne cream before. I like that its made for people 25+, becauseI've read BP is not good for adult skin. I've tried everything, even Accutane and other prescriptions, but works faster and doesn't leave me with other side effects.

Cons:

None. I had to look in the pharmacy part of Walmart, not the regular skin care but still easy to find.

I'm singing it's praise from the rooftops. Try it, seriously.

Pros:

I love this stuff! I am 36, had a hysterectomy and thyroidectomy. Needless to say my hormones are jacked and so was my face, until I started using this! Completely worth the smell! The color is actually not bad for me and when I put it on it evens out my skin tone and I go to bed. I would not use it in the day just for fear someone would smell it! It sort of reminds of the Proactiv mask but amped up X 1000. Oh and I got it at dollar general! LOL

Cons:

The smell. It smells like sulfur so you know it stinks.

The smell is completely worth it. It is sort of like a mask in how quickly it works. I use it at night and have a wonderful microdermabrasion cloth that I wash with in the morning. So basically, it dries everything up, to be fair it makes the skin a little dull looking I guess from the dry skin, but the cloth takes care of that and finally I am not the old crone with gray hair and pimples! Buy it! Try it! Worth the smell. Without a doubt worth the smell. I have used about everything on the market and was considering a home microdermabrasion unit. Seriously. Now, I don't need it. At least not for acne. Now I am worrying about these pesky crows feet!

Pros:

This stuff works awesome! I use it at night and wash in the morning mostly because I put it on thick, prob don't have to, but makes me feel better! I've used it for years and hope its never discontinued! Just a weird tidbit, it helps with the onset of herpes sores.

Cons:

Can't think of any...

I've loved this product for years!

Used acnomel cake when I was a teenager in the 70's. I really wish I could still find it. It was the only thing that worked. Now my teenage daughter could use it but I can't find it anywhere.

Cons:

none

they need to bring back the acnomel cake!!

Pros:

I love this product. I am 58 years old and my dad introduced me to acnomel when I was in highschool, and didn't want to go to school one morning because of pimples. He used it on his back for years. If I catch a pimple early in is often gone by morning. I have introduced it to my children and all ny nieces and nephews.

Cons:

Yes it can be a little drying. And if often dries up and darkens in the tube before its gone

For the price there is nothing better.

Pros:

I am 40, always had hormonal acne. I tried DDF sulfur mask which worked well but wanted something with sulfur for day time use and found this. I can wear this under my mkup. first day I didnt moisturize and it was very drying. now I use very little on problem area and put moisturizer on top, some concealer on my scars only and I look great. I also use it in combination with another item Scarzone for Acne at night with plenty of moisturizer. I rather have slightly oily than dry skin.

Cons:

none as I am not bothered by the smell

Definetly worth it. I was thinking I will try one of those expensive lines but glad I found this. I have accepted that I will keep getting acne forever but atleast with this I can make them go away fast and stop them from becoming major scars.

Pros:

Cures acne very quickly.
Works like magic!

Cons:

Bad smell (my pillow case really smells like Sulphur - my husband hates the smell).
Dries the skin a little (I have oily skin so it doesn't affect me too much)
Ruins my fake jewelry (somehow it peels the top layer of silver-plated or gold-plated custom jewelry)

Works great! I'm very impressed. I love this product! It's the only product that cured my acne. Now I have very light or no acne; but before using this product I had very severe acne. Especially after taking Niaspan that one of my doctors prescribed me for high cholesterol - my acne rosacea was out of control! I highly recommend this product, the cons are really not a big deal - the results are spectacular. Good luck to all!

Pros:

Works great!
Perfect and i mean PERFECT skin color match. When im wearing acnomel it just looks like i have perfect skin.

Cons:

Smells. I can't smell it once it is on my skin, but when my bf goes in for a kiss he says he can DEFINITELY smell it. oh well : )

oh and i have trouble finding this product. I have only seen it in two stores.

I love love love this product. Before using acnomel i was using clearasil tinted treatment, which is basically the same item. They both contain Resorcinol (2%), Sulfur (8%) and are geared towards adult acne. I like acnomel better because of the consistency and the fact that it matches my skin PERFECTLY. When i apply this stuff it just looks like i have flawless skin. I havent gotten ONE pimple from using this item and it has dried out all of the small pimples that i did have. I basically use this as a foundation. My regimen consist of: Papaya bar Soap Witch Hazel Toner Acnomel (applied with a wet finger) I usually wait about 30 mins for the product to kind of melt into my skin and if my skin is not flaky i just apply blush over top and then leave the house!! IF my skin is dry then i can apply lotion on top and it'll leave my skin looking and feeling matte all day long! I think its also a wonderful primer. Before this i was using BP 5% which was working wonderfully but it was leaving my face really dry and dead looking. I'm trying the sulfur route now, and im quite happy with the results.

Pros:

It works! Wears well under Bare Minerals.

Cons:

I had only been able to find it at one drug store and I found out today, they've discontinued shipments. WHY?

My cystic acne had gotten so bad that I was seriously considering Accutane. Doctor's won't prescribe it to women of child bearing age, that can't be good. I was desperate. I'd tried everything over the counter and a few pricey prescriptions. Nothing was helping. I found acnomel and my face was clear in two weeks!
