Pros:

Acnomel was a great acne treatment until recently

Cons:

The tubes labeled 30% more are actually just a watered down product and its effectiveness is greatly decreased.

I hope they change it back.

Pros:

Affordable, easy to use, works great as a foundation under makeup and really works - fast!

Cons:

None that I have experienced

I am 41 and have been battling acne since my early teens. I have tried almost every over the counter drug with minimal results. I apply Acnomel all over my face and put an extra dose directly on a pimple. Within a day or two, the pimple is gone. Acnomel is fantastic. My dermatologist asked me where I purchased it so he could recommend it to his patients.

Pros:

Well after trying just about everything, short of Accutane, and going thru sev. different Dermatologists, I found something (randomly) in the drug store. The box said it was milder to the skin than Benzyol Perx. and I was desparate badly broken out

Cons:

Only negative the sulphur smell. Its worth overlooking the smell though--this stuff works.

In amy in my mid-forties, and I have been fighting super oily skin, breakouts, cystic acne since my teens. I have been to several different dermatologists, and have had numerous rx for rosacea and acne. I was alway super oily, w/large pores, in the t-zone, and flaking every where else. I was at the point where I was once again breaking out (badly) w/each monthly cycle (hormones?) and it would take two to three weeks for the previous months breakout to clear up, before I broke out again...so I was never clear. Had large pores and black heads on my nose and chin. I stumbled upon this at the drug store and decided to try it (it was cheap, $7.99). Within a week my nose was smooth (no large pores) and blackheads all but gone. IF YOU HAVE SUPER OILY SKIN (LIKE ME) THIS IS THE PRODUCT TO USE!!! Very drying on cheeks and around mouth...but a miracle worker on the t-zone. I dab on break outs only on cheeks, but wear it like a foundation at night on t-zone. In am skin smoooth ¬ red!

Pros:

it is effective to a degree, shrinks the acne and redness becomes pink in one day, doesn't contain benzoyl peroxide

Cons:

unable to keep shrinked acne from growing again so must be used everyday, smells, dries up your skin but product doesn't not come with precise information on whether to use moisturizers or toners

for me, its a product that didn't cause damage to the skin other than dryness which can be overcome, which is a very useful factor because i have very sensitive skin. It's medium effectiveness means serious acne prone people will want to look at more effective creams but for something over the counter, what more can u ask for?

Pros:

I have used acnomel for many years. Having had extremely bad acne into adulthood. I discovered it when I was about 30 years old. My sons have used it and I have recommended it to many people who have had much success. Moisturizing is a must.

I am an Aesthetician and I recommend this product to anyone suffering with acne. I will clear up pimples in a day or two. It is fantastic. Toner and moisturizers are a very important part of skincare regimen. My sons swear by it they apply it as soon as a pimple shows and it clears them within a day. Experiment with it all skins types are different and it can dry some more than others. Best acne product available.

Pros:

Saw positive result RIGHT AWAY! Texture/smell is like a clay mask, not bothersome. I exper no irritation, no inflammation; bottom line, I've never used anything as effective in 30 years of acne product use. $10/tube, well worth a try.

Cons:

Tinted color makes it most practical to use at night, but I just learned that there is a non-tinted variety.

If you suffer with breakouts that you can't manage, try this, definitely. I'm 40, having struggled with pimples since puberty- just stumbled upon this stuff, and my skin has never looked better.

Pros:

I could feel a PMS pimple coming up underneath my skin (chin area). I went to bed and put this on and the next morning it came to a full head. I extacted the contents and it healed right away.

It draws the "gunk" out of the pore and heals the skin.

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.
