Pros:

cleared my stubborn acne. No more cysts!

Cons:

it smells nasty

HG :) Some background: I have had acne since I was 10, I am 19 now and at first it was isolated at my forhead. I tried proactive at 12 and it cleared my acne until I was 15 when it came back with a vengence. I then turned to the Clean and Clear acne system which helped for a few months but then failed me again. I went to a dermotologist and tried everything from benzaclin, epiduo, differin, antibiotics, a plethora of different cleansers and masks and odd home remedies., clarisonic, etc. By Oct, 2011 my acne was so bad that it made me cry in the mornings and dread leaving the house. I had cysts all over my cheeks and jawline and postules all over my forehead...big red inflammed pimples on my fair skin it looked awful. Even with makeup on people would still comment on my acne, ask me things like "What happened to your face?!" "Why dont you wash your face?" (and all the other dumb comments people make) Salycilic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide failed me...so I started looking into sulfur products. I was searching it on google when I came across this product in January. I went ahead and ordered it and a week later I am 90% clear besides those pesky scars the cysts left behind. This thing is a miracle in a box and a steal for barely 4 dollars!! Everyone suffering from acne needs to try this soap!

Pros:

works fast! Its keeping my skin clear, and soft. I just use it on my chin as thats where i break out,.I get huge cysts, but using this i just get small little pimples that clear quickly. For me, it works better than RX meds.

Cons:

Little stinky, but not bad. Not even bad enough to call it a con.

Try it! If it works, great. You will only be out a few bucks if it doesnt.

Pros:

Keeps my skin really clear

Cons:

drying for the normal to dry areas of my combo skin

This is great stuff! Sulphur may not work for everyone, but it definitely works for me. Salycilic acid formulas and benzoyle peroxide really irritate my skin but this soap is very mild. I've tried dozens of other natural things and nothing ever helped. It's very effective and the smell is not bothersome at all. It softens and smooths the skin nicely, although it can be a little drying, for the most part my skin is clearer and more balanced now than it ever has been. I use it in the morning and at night.

Pros:

Works great. My face is finally clear. Best bang for the buck.

Cons:

Drying and smell.

Great value when compared to other products. I got used to the smell. I also rinsed off quickly to prevent drying. Grandpa's also worked on my body acne. I almost dismissed this product because it is so cheap compared to others. $3.00 a bar. Good thing I did not, I wouldn't be writing this...

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.
