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:
I have nothing but good things to say about Acnomel.
If anyone has any pimples at all I suggest that they try Acnomel and I am most sure they will keep using it.

LOVED IT!
Its as if as soon as i turned 20, my acne changed. Where i was able to combat it with benzoyl peroxide 10%, I was no longer able to get relief. Until i found this! I tried this at night before I went to bed and it worked wonders! :) Over night it seemed like my cystic acne was healing nicely....... my only qualm with the product is that it does not go under make up very well. In fact, during the day, it looks disgusting and streaky even without makeup over it. It probably works better at night while you sleep anyway :)

Sulfer is good stuff
I am new on here and clicked to review Sulfur and this product came up so I will just tell you, I am 33 and the past year have been dealing with hormone changes from just getting older and significant stress, like house fire stress. Even been dealing with cystic acne. Out of all the products and or a couple prescriptions even, I found a product that worked right at the first day and maybe by day 3 for the cystic types I could almost peel away the dried out pimple.
The product I found was at GNC its a solid bar made from a Co called Grandpa's, its less then $6 and its main ingredient is Sulfer, yea it stinks like a geyser at Jellystone national park but its one of the only things that have worked for me.
I have used Clearasil before and it would prob be my second choice as far as buying an over the counter product. I never even really washed my face much before that, when I do thats when I seen breakouts and I always looked much younger then my age. Eat right and drink water and get walking. Not much you can do about hormones but you can help balance them. Since I have not been doing enough for myself/activity- for medical reasons, Im experimenting with temp alt solutions and ways to increase cell turnover as well for dull looking skin. Secondly, the face scrub I more recently used and liked is from Walgreens its gritty and feels warm applying it Eclos Plant Cell scrub. Its nice to use 2-3 days a week for me as I like these things best in moderation.

Pros:
Works on clearing pimples rapidly. Reduces inflammation and redness.
Cons:
The colour of the tint makes me laugh, it's not even close to my skin colour ha ha so i only use it at bed time.
This product has been around for many years and it's the only spot treatment i've seen good results with. I used Duac and it absolutely disagreed with my sensitive skin. This product is gentle and a good alternative to benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid if you skin is sensitive and can't handle harsh chemicals. Unfortunately i can't use this product during the day as the colour of the tint is wrong for my skin tone but luckily they make a vanishing formula which i can wear under concealer during the day. Try this (and give it time to work) before you try any other acne topicals.

Pros:
Works well in getting rid of those big zits. Not as harsh as Benzoyl Peroxide and seems to work faster for me.
Cons:
Can dry out skin, but a little moisturizer takes care of that.
Smells a little funky but not that bad.
This is a great product, a necessity for me. I occasionally get that large embarrassing pimple that this product helps get rid of. Apply at night as it isn't something you want to walk around with on. However, if you still have a large whitehead in the morning, you can apply a tiny bit of this product to the tip of the pimple to help hide it without looking like you have weird make-up on.

Pros:
Hides acne well, doesn't make it as noticeable.
Cons:
Dries out skin. Tint is a little too dark...
I've used this product for over a year and at first I had good results. After a while it gave no positive results and left my acne the same it was before. (I have moderately severe acne) Although I will say, it camoflauges your acne pretty well; just use a moisturizer for the dryness. I will stop using this product since it doesn't work for me anymore, but again, it did a decent job of hiding my acne, so I didn't have to use so much makeup.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
excellent quality and easy to use....I have used Acnomel since the early 70's... There also used to be Acnomel in cake form which I loved, but the company discontinued it.... Acnomel is hard to find ... but Rite Aid, and Walgreens have it
Cons:
none that I can think of... I got to a point where I needed extra help , and added a well known system to my treatment.
A wonderful product that works ... I still wish the cake form was available too though.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
I am 44. I had serious acne in my teens and early 20's I went to the dermo and used everything except acutaine. Nothing every really worked...except acnomel. I no longer suffer from acne, but now my 14 year old uses it.
Cons:
Really none. It always made my face feel cleaner and tighter and I liked that it was flesh colored.
This is the best thing I have tried for acne. I brought my daughter to a dermo in the for a sudden flair up with acne, and $110 dollars in prescription gels/ointments later (that's after insurance), she still prefers the acnomel like her mom.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Did not help at all!
Cons:
Didn't really see a difference.
Didn't help! Besides is it even an ok product for oily skin?
Pros:
I have used Acnomel since I was a teenager and that is many moons ago and at my age I stil use it. Sometimes I have a hard time locating it but I keep trying until I find a place that carries it.
