Pros:

works fast, cheap,

Cons:

have to order online

WOW!!!I have had acne since I was 13, and have done the gamut of prescription drugs(including Accutane- TWICE!) I'm 29 now and can control my acne by using a combo of Differin and Benzaclin - however I do occasionally have a bad flareup that lasts a week or two. I just had one of these flareups and got on this website to get some new suggestions for a face wash and came across Grandpas. I ordered it online and it was delivered within 4 days (got it yesterday). When I woke up yesterday I had about 7 bad pimples on my nose, cheeks, and chin - and my face was raw and red in other areas where old pimples were healing. I used the soap yesterday evening and then again this morning. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! My face is no longer red, and all but two of the pimples have completely disapeared. My husband looked at me this morning and was so stunned at how beautiful my skin looked again after two weeks of looking like raw hamburger. I've only used this twice, so I hope it keeps working its magic!

Pros:

-Gives skin a soft clean feeling like no other I tried
-Doesn't dry skin at ALL

Cons:

-None really
-Probably wouldn't be found in stores, I bought it online though because I buy everything online

Out of all the top products listed here at acne.org, this one probably made the biggest impact. Ofcourse, when I added this to my regimen, I stopped putting on something else, which could have also contributed to my face being nicer, but I think more than likely this soap did the trick. Its sulfur but it doesn't dry like it. It makes my skin feel clean and smooth. It, "Softens the hard shell of acne blemishes (keratolytic action)", which is something new i've never seen in an acne product, unless its just different wording for something common.

Pros:

really works!!

Cons:

hard to find

i have SUFFERED with acne for 10 yrs and ive spent THOUSANDS of dollars over the years on every product, peel, and procedure you can name that is supposed to clear acne and nothing has worked long term. ive only been using this soap for a few weeks but i have seen major results so far. i dont break out nearly as much and when i do they are super small and they go away in a flash. im optimistic and i really believe that this soap is going to be the answer to my prayers. nothing else has worked for me this fast- i started seeing results after just a couple of days!!

Pros:

Very affordable and works very well at clearing up acne

Cons:

Difficult to locate in stores, had to order online

I have suffered with acne for many years and used the multitude of products (over-the-counter and prescription). Pregnancy made my acne flare up again far worse than normal. I couldn't use the regular products because they weren't deemed safe during pregnancy. After some research, I discovered a sulfur product was my best bet - and I'm so happy I tried Grandpa's Thylox Soap. With consistent use twice daily my acne has cleared up so much - and just continues to improve. The soap isn't harsh at all and yet it works great to exfoliate the surface layer of dead skin cells and unclog your pores. I highly recommend this product to anyone facing acne problems.

Pros:

miracle product (for face only), softens skin, reduces red marks, works quickly and thoroughly, inexpensive

Cons:

have to buy online, can be difficult to lug around since it's a bar, had no effect on body acne

i had moderate and VERY stubborn acne for years, and countless red marks. i noticed a dramatic improvement after only a few days of use, and now after three weeks of use my skin is almost completely clear. furthermore, it has balanced my skin tone and my red marks seem to be fading - slowly but surely. i use this in the morning and at night, rinsing it off after a couple of minutes. i am still in disbelief at how well this product works for my face. however, i also have back and arm acne that i hoped to eliminate with this soap - yet i saw no results. but for the FACE... this is pure gold.

Irritating
Tried this based on good reviews. Used for about a week, just once a day, and each day acne got progressively worse. Each pimple seemed to get more red and more irritated. Stopped use and pimples healed and disappeared quickly.

You probably have dry skin, which any sort of harsher soap won't do good for

Pros:

Works great and fast!

Cons:

It's hard to find - had to order online.

If you want a quick solution, get this! It started clearing me up in a couple days! I'm getting rid of all the Neutrogena and Biore stuff as Grandpa's blows all them out of the water.

Pros:

when you start using it, it will keep your cysts calmed down, and then they will simply disappear in days! haven't had a cyst in about two weeks and overnight all of my little breakouts were gone. super cheap!

Cons:

kinda smells bad, but the smell goes away once your face is dry. you have to leave the lather on your face for 60 seconds, which is a hassle when the suds drip into your eyes.

I wish you could walk into a drugstore and buy this because everyone with acne problems should use it. I get it from [link removed]; I buy tons of things from them and they always ship quickly.
