Topical Keratolytic / Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Not often used because it smells bad, is opaque so it colors the skin when applied, and may rarely lead to severe side effects. Because of this, there haven’t been enough studies to show us whether it works or not, but it should help with mild-to-moderate acne.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Cons:
Tinted color makes it most practical to use at night, but I just learned that there is a non-tinted variety.
If you suffer with breakouts that you can't manage, try this, definitely. I'm 40, having struggled with pimples since puberty- just stumbled upon this stuff, and my skin has never looked better.

Good Stuff
One of the few sulfur acne treatments you can find at the drugstore. One of the only ones I've found that works really well for me. It dries up acne really fast. Warning: Be careful putting this on your skin everyday. It dried me up so much it caused permanent wrinkles.

Pros:
Got rid of my bigger angry pimples also is clearing up my smaller little white pimples that i could never get rid of before without a perscription!!!! And my skin is alot less oily in the morning!!!

The smell at first but i got used to it, i dont really care as long as it works! And my skin had a little flaky dryness but nothing serious.
I love it!!! My face hasnt been this clear in a long time! And i feel alot more confident.

Pros:
Works. Covers redness.
Cons:
Stains towels and clothes
Smell isn't really that bad. Works good. Makes my face feel clean. If you just apply lightly as you do a makeup in a thin layer, its not that noticeable really. It just takes practice to apply correctly.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
It's about the best product I have ever used! I have been to the best derms, followed their expensive prescription recommendations and found Adult Acnomel to take care of the occassional acne I get now and then. Immediate results
Cons:
The tinted color shows, so I only use at night
Great product. A little hard to find as the distribution seems limited.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
fast, effective, easy to use, last a long time when used for spot treatment, absorbs quickly, cheap
Cons:
smellls awful, weird consistency, you cant buy it everywhere
I put a dab on a pimple when i see it, till its gone - usually dried up in 2 days max - ive never used anything like it! its easy to find at places like walmart. i have even used it on my boyfriends back.

Pros:
It works; especially on blackheads or noninflamed acne, but also on pustules, etc.
Cons:
not really a con but, don't use it if you go out. The tint isnt meant so its like makeup or something. Wear it overnight.
It's the only product I consistently return to after using other stuff because it always works. Also, doesn't contain harmful ingredients like BP that cause wrinkles.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Cons:
It can be drying at times so it's really important to use a good moistourizer.
I have used saliclyic acid and benzol peroxide, only to find that it dries my skin and makes it flake but acnomel has been AMAZING. The first day I used it, I could see an improvement (it wasn't drastic, but it was there). If you have sensitive skin, this is a great product..doesn't sting or burn.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
It works well in drying up pimples and soothes inflammed areas.
Cons:
Pricey....$8.00;packaging not appealing..almost missed it.
Good product...stronger than clearasil.
Pros:
Saw positive result RIGHT AWAY! Texture/smell is like a clay mask, not bothersome. I exper no irritation, no inflammation; bottom line, I've never used anything as effective in 30 years of acne product use. $10/tube, well worth a try.
