Pros:

The best acne medicine by far! I'm 55, and I've used it off and on as an adult as needed. As a teenager, I used it with great results.

Cons:

Absolutely NONE!

Highly recommended product!

Pros:

THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! It reduced redness after one application!

Cons:

It might look weird to apply it in the morning, or with makeup it would be difficult. (Idk, I don't wear makeup as a guy.)

One of the best spot treatments out there!

Pros:

I started using Acnomel 40 years ago when it was in a compac-type container and available everywhere in the USA. It is the very best acne product ever made.. I don't have acne now, but facial shingles - it is keeping control of the blisters!!

Cons:

Availability of product in USA, and I preferred the old formula that was in the compac container, but have understood that there was an ingredient that the FDA prohibited which has since been removed... A lighter shade would be less obvious for day.

Acnomel is the best - I used it consistently for years, until one of my children insisted I dispose of the compac because I'd had that one for 20+ years and she was concerned about contamination (not a sensible argument, but I relented) Then several years ago, my skin started breaking out again (not great at 50-years of age), we were in Nelson on vacation, I found Acnomel in a tube in the drug store and my skin problems were resolve before I returned home. When I broke out with shingles on my neck and face last year, after using assorted RX creams, I got out the old tube of Acnomel and "Voila" the blisters dried up immediately. I still get a few blisters in moments of stress, use acnomel at night (and during the day if not going out) and the shingles blisters are under control. I'm in my 60's and I'm thankful the product is available.

Pros:

I am almost 30 and have been suffering with acne sine 12. I have LITERALLY tried everything. This cleared me up in two days and my skin has never been smoother.

Cons:

Nothing. The smell is not that bad and is goes away in less than an hour.

I cannot believe I have not heard of sulfur for acne until recently. This product is great! I would recommend it to anyone who has pustule, inflammed, whitehead acne. I am waiting on my Grandpa's Thylox soap so that I can get rid of all other BP and acid products!

Pros:

It does work without over-drying my skin. If you live in a dry climate use a light moisturizer first. I am 45+....this is the first product that has smoothed my skin in years. No more little bumps, no more pimples. I will buy it again.

Cons:

The consistency is mucky and it has a sulfur-ish odor....but if it works....who cares if it doesn't smell pretty.

I have tried every thing at a much higher price. A product under 10 dollars that works is a bargain.

Pros:

Been dealing with horrible acne issues for years and years and this is the only stuff that not only dries up pimples ASAP, but it has prevented my usual breakouts. I love this stuff.

Cons:

The only thing that's a little cumbersome is the consistency. It's not that bad....I leave it on all day under makeup and it feels slightly masky, but not cakey. I find that if I put lotion on over top after it dries its not as bad.

I've tried everything (over and behind the counter) and this is the only thing that works. For 10.99 what's not to love?

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!
