Pros:

A nice creamy formula that has pretty much abolished my cystic and comedonal acne :)
No medicine smell (or at least it is not strong to me)

Cons:

Drying for the first few days but drying does subside
Must make sure to avoid eyes and mucosal surfaces since it is an antibacterial.

Compared to some of the facial washes I was purchasing for my face, this item is comparable if not cheaper! I am

Pros:

I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide and I had pretty bad acne. So I went to the dermitologist and they told me to try it. I did and WOW!! Amazing results!

Cons:

None At All!

It really works and my face looks great! And because I have great insurance I got it really cheap!

Pros:

good for sensitive skin.

Cons:

none!

This product is amazing! I've been using this for about 10 months and i have not gotten any big break outs. Just a pimple or two once and a while but not even big enough to even be noticed. I started seeing results after about two weeks and was completely clear in about four. It's very affordable if you have insurance about 10 bucks and works great. If you have not used it yet you should definitely give it a try!! I would totally recommend this product!!

Pros:

Really does work. I no longer get any cystic breakouts and the tiny pimples are barely visible.

Cons:

Kind of drying but not to the point where you feel that your face is craking. A mild sulfur smell as the lotion melts more into your face over time due to your body heat

I used to use sodium sulfacetamide 10% and sulfur 5% in an actual lotion formulation (cream based). It didn't see THAT much improvement. But then again, I used it when I first started the treatment so there was a lot of work that the prescription had to do on my face. But later on switched over to the liquid formulation and it is soooo much better. I feel that the liquid formulation is much more effective. And the liquid formulation has a slight sheer pink tone to it, so I feel that it makes my skin tone look more even. I was given tinter drops along with the lotion so i could match the lotion to my skin tone, but I chose not to use the tinter. I no longer get ANY major breakouts. No more cysts. The tiny pimples sometimes do flair up, but they're not big and red the way they used to be. And the tiny ones heal very quickly.

Pros:

Works
Non-irritatiting

Cons:

Pricey if your insurance doesn't cover it, but in my opinion, 200$ is worth it if its going to clear up my face!

I have had to deal with acne for years...have been on every Rx and over the counter medicine under the sun, nothing works. Just got put on the soduim sulfacetamide/sulfur wash and topical lotion and in one day i'm already seeing a MAJOR difference. If this stuff clears my face completely, I'm going to ask my new doctor to marry me.

Pros:

It's tinted to match my skintone perfectly and covers my red scars and blemishes as it works on drying out pimples and preventing new ones from forming 25g bottle

Cons:

Slight sulfuric smell, but nothing to cry about.

I am using the tinted sodium sulfacetamide 10% and sulfur 5% lotion. I threw out my liquid makeup because it was clogging my pores and this tinted sulfacet works as a makeup. It covers my blemishes and red spots! Within 8 hours of my very first application in the morning, my 2 cysts were dried up and the tiny pimples had disappeared or deflated! Sulfa-based products must work very well for me. I apply it to my skin 3 times during the day. The liquid is sooo sheer and light and absorbs quickly. My skin has shown major improvement & I have used everything including differin, retin-a, benzoyl peroxide products, proactive, EVERYTHING! This is the only medicine that works for my moderate cystic acne!!!
