Good Product But Strange Color
I bought this on a whim, and it's actually not that bad. I use it occasionally as a spot treatment if I'm too irritated to use BP. I only use it at night though, because (1) it smells funny and (2) it's tinted a dark orange brown color, which looks really unnatural on the skin. However, used overnight, it will shrink pimples a bit. So, my purchase wasn't a total waste.

Decent product
I like the coverage I got from the tinted cream, but it didn't clear up my acne.... which is the point in using it, right??

Pros:

Seems to work better than any salicylic acid or benzoyle peroxide product. My face has reacted very well to this and I experience both fewer small to medium pimples, as well as faster healing for the few I get in infrequent areas of my face.

Cons:

Dries my face quite a bit and I have to apply additional moisturizer. Tinting matches my face, but still is weird-- it makes the product like squeezing out baby poo.

Effective and cheap. It's not a cure, but Acnomel is a main weapon in the management of my acne, now.

Pros:

- Dries up papules/zits
- Reduces redness of acne, including the ones I've already picked at
- Doesn't irritate my skin as much as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid

Cons:

- The sulfur smell
- Product dries quick but cracks and flakes off, so not ideal for daytime wear
- Tinted version is too dark for me

I've found it's best to use this as a spot cream overnight. It dries up my zits quickly, especially if I use it on top of other topical creams (I'm on Differin right now). On its own Acnomel is ok.

Pros:

Cheap, colour matched my skin, didn't dry it out, gave me a great skin tone

Cons:

Didn't work that well

I started using this after I stopped using benzoyl peroxide which I had been using for 4 years (which never really worked that well). Acnomel seemed to get rid of my breakouts at first and I was enjoying my hydrated and more even skin tone compared to when I was using BP, so I had high hopes. But... it never ended up really working. I continued to have moderate breakouts the same as when I was on BP. So I quit.

Pros:

IT WORKS!!! I was 12 years old when I first used it; now I'm 66 and still use it from time to time. It is hard to fine. I used to have the drugstore order it for me, now I find it on Ebay! YEAH !!

Cons:

It only comes in a small tube.

This stuff works well for zits, stopped up oil glands and most other skin problems. They talk about a bad odor, you don't eat it!

Pros:

I have pretty much tried everything and I can say that after putting this on a blemish for a couple of days, it does go away. What I normally do is use an antibacterial cleanser and put the Acnomel on at night.

Cons:

It does dry out the skin surrounding the blemish and once you apply it the product does turn into a cake like substance.

I heard that Romans used sulfur for acne problems and out of BP and SA, this works 10x better!

Pros:

This a tinted cream, kind of a medium tone. It blends in well. I tried it because it is not Benzol based- which I am allergic to.

Cons:

I really doesn't work very well at all. Not sure if it worked for me at all, the other available adult over-the-counter creams work much better.

Buy somthing else.
