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:

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:

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!

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:

Tinted, hides blemishes
Shine free skin ALL day
Drys my skin out so its not so oily
Has slightly reduced number and severity of acne

Cons:

Sometimes it can be too drying, i apply moisturiser underneath
Sometimes can look a little un natural if you dont apply it right

I have been using this product for around two week and although its not a miracle cure it really helps me too cope with my acne 1. it drys out my skin which is great, i can put it on in the morning and leave my skin alone all day and it will still be shine free and matte at the end of the day (a miracle for my very shiny oily skin) 2. its tinted so it helps to cover up acne, on some good days you cant even see my acne, on the other hand sometimes if its not applied right it can streak and look unnatural 3. My acne has reduced; not completely but acnomel has made it a little better and so im willing to keep with it to see if it clears up even more ill be reporting back in a few more weeks

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.
