Pros:

clears skin, easy to use, reduces redness

Cons:

the smell isn't fantastic, but not too bad either, and it is kinda drying so use moisturizer

i've only been using this for a few days, but i have tried so many prescription and OTC medications. i got horrible acne when i was in 3rd grade, and have struggled with it now into my early 20s. after using this for a few days, my skin now looks like it did with makeup before when i have no makeup on, and it is continuing to improve. even the horrible redness i had is going away.

Pros:

OTC
Not too expensive
Seems to help!

Cons:

Slighty funny smell

I've been using this product for a couple months now and it seems to really be helping. I'll use it as a whole-face mask about once a week. Whenever I have a troublesome "spot", I'll put a dab on and leave it overnight. It doesn't make the pimple *magically* go away, but it does seem to make it smaller. I'm 43 and have hormonally induced adult acne which can get really depressing sometimes. (I never broke out this bad when I was a teenager!!) But if I stay very regular with my skincare routine, I can keep the acne spots down to a dull roar most of the time.

Pros:

- Minimizes pimples
- Makes face feel fresh and clean
- Leaves me with a smile on my face when I am done using it
- AWESOME Spot (or 'splotch') treatment (i shall explain below)

Cons:

- Does dry out the skin, but nothing a little moisturizer can't fix :)
- It smells a little, but really people it isn't bad. As long as you wash it off and put moisturizer, you are fine

So I am on a mission to get clear skin and I decided to try this cuz I was sensitive to benzoyl peroxide and I heard some not to pretty things about salicylic acid.Got it at Walmart for $8 for a 1.7 oz bottle and although it sounds like a rip off, a little does go a long way! I sometimes use this as a mask for my whole face (like once a week), but nowadays I am using it every night as a splotch treatment (instead of spot). My regimen is that at night I wash my face with soap (preferably Venus de Milo Beauty bar or Dove, but currently I had to resort to using cheap Irish Spring, but is has aloe in it so that is a plus) using a cotton ball to remove dirt and such. Then I use honey as moisturizer by putting honey all over my face splashing one handful of water and pat dry. (I need the extra moisture cuz I have dry skin) Then I apply the sulfur on the parts of my face that has the most concentrated pimples, making 3 splotches - a part of my forehead, and the sides of my cheeks. I sleep with it and when I wake up I wash it off with the aid of some soap (without cotton ball) and my face feels fresh and my small pimples are gone and the bigger ones have significantly reduced. Then I add honey as moisturizer and I am on my way to school, work, where ever! Bottom line is that yes, I recommend this product for those who suffer from moderate acne and can't use b.p. cuz it is so irritating!!! Also, I recommend using these type of things at night only because that is when your face is regenerating itself when you are sleeping. Also, eating fruits is important too in getting good skin! Good luck and God bless! :)

Pros:

Shrinks the pimples over night

I use it every other day and leave it on for ten minutes...does wonders...in two days my skin went from having over ten pimples all red and painful over my cheeks and chin to having them flat and no more pain. I recommend it to whoever suffers with acne...the first product in four years that I try that actually gave me results instead of dissapointment

Pros:

Shrinks pimples, gets rid of blackheads and reduces redness. Makes skin feel smooth and gives a very fresh and clean feeling

Cons:

Can make face feel dry and must use a minimum amount or face will feel extremely stiff and irritating

When I first started using this it would really dry out my face, so I had to regulate it. For some reason now it doesn't dry my face out at all and I use it everyday after a shower. Immediately after I step out of the shower I put it on because the hot water from the shower really opens pores. I try to put a minimum amount on because if there's too much your face it can be so irritating it's almost painful. Since my face is still wet from the shower the mask disappears on my face and reappears after the water has evaporated off my skin. I can leave this mask on for 2 hours, forget about it and still wash it off with my skin looking very even and smooth. After I wash the mask off and let my face dry I put witch hazel on my face with a cotton ball that sort of "seals" my skin into a very nice healthy surface. I can't live without this stuff and it's an absolute must have for me. It's always gone off the shelves where I live and the last time I replenished the supply (today haha) I went to two stores and only Rite Aid had two left and I snatched them and high-tailed it outta there.

Pros:

- shrinks pimple overnight
- makes your skin soft

Cons:

- sticky
- bottle gets clogged and messy

This stuff is amazing. It works better than proactiv's sulfur mask and is way cheaper. I randomly get really bad hormonal breakouts on my chin and use this as a spot treatment. By the next day my cystic bumps are half the size and on the second day are almost flat completely. I highly recommend this mask to anyone who wants a quick fix for their skin.

Pros:

-Sulfur based
-Works on my sensitive skin

Cons:

-Some people say smell (I don't mind it)
-Small tube

AcneFree Sulfur Mask is one of the best products in the AcneFree line. I'm very pleased that it is sulfur based because it works great on my skin. I have oily skin and this product does as it promises: clears skin. After a long day of work and school my skin begins to look like an oil slick which can cause my makeup run. After using this product once or twice a week I have a much more even skin tone. I would recommend this product to anyone with combination skin, not sure how it would work on dry/easily irritated skin but so far I have had great results. Will continue to buy.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin fast
Made my skin seem healthier
Kind of glowing almost

Cons:

Smells a little bit, but not terribly bad.
Dries out skin if used too much

Very very good product. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to clear up their face fast. My face started breaking out when I went to college and the medicines my dermatologist gave me wouldn't work. I apply EpiDuo gel after using the mask most nights.

Pros:

It somewhat works.

Cons:

Irritates my skin

If you have severe acne, this might not work well for you. It also does have a distinct odor to it, but you shouldn't really be concerned with smells if you have acne.
