Can't get better than this...
Grey hair & acne isn't fair. I've tried a 1000 things over the past 20 years. I use Proactive everyday but it's not full proof. This product is excellent for quick relief of a pop up. It's gentle on my skin. I'm very sensitive. It does stink & I really wish it wasn't tinted. I'd like to wear it under make-up. But I don't care. It works so well & so quickly I can look past those two issues. Two thumbs up ðŸ'ðŸ'

Pros:

Clears skin
Cheap
Doesn't dry skin

Cons:

Small tube

I have suffered from acne since I was 13 (i'm now 22) and I have never found anything that helped me before this, including prescription medication. I have acne on my face as well as my back and this is the first summer in a long time I have been comfortable wearing tank tops instead of trying to hide my back. I've never written a review in my life-that's how great this product is!

Pros:

*Dries up cysts and minor acne
*Prevents forming cysts from surfacing and kills them!
*Tinted cream makes me feel more comfortable in my skin, like I'm wearing makeup
*Not as drying or damaging as BP
*If you used minimally, can be worn under makeup

Cons:

*will dry out your skin, but not as bad as BP
*smell is strong before it dries, but it's not a bad smell
*The tint of the cream is dark for pale skin
*If you put too much under makeup, it will be noticeable and flake off. Be sure to put spf or moisturizer on top before makeup.

Cleared up multiple cysts I kept getting on my chin and around mouth for like 2 months! Now I just get minor acne every now and then that's not completely noticeable and embarrassing.

Pros:

I am 46 and have acne my whole life- this is the first product that worked (other than antibiotics). It is very oil absorbant too. I have tried EVERYTHING including BP, retin A, the ZENO(worthless), Salicylic acid, Zinc, DIM, ...

Cons:

Has odor- wear at night

If you had acne - you must try it. Wait at least a month to judge. Get it at Walgreens

Pros:

-Doesn't dry out skin
-Helps with redness/irritation
-Tinted (can wear underneath makeup)

Cons:

-Hard to find in stores (I have only been able to find it at Rite-Aid)
-Smell
-Small tube

I absolutely love sulfur products, they work beautifully on my skin. Acnomel does not dry out my skin or cause any kind of irritation. There are not enough sulfur products out on the market and when ever I see this available in stores I try to buy 2-3 at a time. It has somewhat of a thick consistency and can look quite 'cakey' if you were to wear it out during the day. A little goes along way.

Pros:

It works!!!!! I have had acne since I was 10, and I've tried EVERYTHING- BP, salacylic acid- I was allergic to, triclosan- which made me itch, doxycycline--stomach couldn't tolerate and countless others, none of whom worked as well as using this

Cons:

i'm black, so the "tinted" cream isn't dark enough and doesn't blend well with my skin tone. i can only wear it at night.

it is an effective (finally!), readily available acne treatment on persons who have moderate/ severe acne that nothing else will cure. i do still use benzoyl peroxide and a mild cleanser. if you are having problems with dryness, i suggest a mild cleanser and toner with glycerin/ without alcohol to help the skin replenish and retain moisture. Olive oil is also a good moisturizer that i use when my skin became a little splotchy.

Pros:

- Drys up skin
- Provides immediate cover
- Works fast to get rid of major acne

Cons:

- May cause flaky, overly dry skin
- May look like you're wearing makeup if to heavily put on

It works well in a short period of time, but it may not provide long term results. It covers up red acne, to increase confidence, and can get rid of it overnight. For me personally it worked really great, but then I began to rely to heavily on it and it started drying up my skin too much. Causing my skin to be extremely flaky, dry, and noticeable. I still use it, as I feel flaky skin, which i can later moisturize is better than acne covered skin.

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:

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?
