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.

Cons:
a little odor but it's worth it
If you have been struggling with acne for years this is it. And if you haven't and it's just now a problem...you better use this stuff; it will save you from absolute torture.

Pros:
I love this product. I always wanted a sulfur product after using proactivs mask. It dries out and clears my blemishes over night and keeps my skin from being oily during the day.
Cons:
It dries out my skin, but the best regimen I've tried and I've tried ALOT is this Clearasil (sulfur) and 7x anti-aging lotion, after it dries. My skin does a 100% turn-around with those two products together. Want to heal pimples and marks fast?works
Bottom line I am 26 and If I use medication my skin dries out like crazy and looks bad.
The only thing that works is this sulfur cream and the best lotion ever OIL OF OLAY 7x ANTI AGING is a miracle, it smoothes out my skin and puts a whole bunch of vitamins in it!!!!
ps...the sulfur is a lil stinky but well worth it. You just must be careful because some people are allergic to sulfur.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
This a tinted cream, kind of a medium tone. It blends in well. I tried it because it is not Benzol based- which I am allergic to.
Cons:
I really doesn't work very well at all. Not sure if it worked for me at all, the other available adult over-the-counter creams work much better.
Buy somthing else.

Pros:
-Works in a short amount of time
-You don't need a lot
Cons:
-Kinda stings and burns a little at first
-Excessive dryness so use a good moisturizer
-The tint doesn't exactly match my light complexion. It makes me look like I got a really bad spray on tan lol
-You can't hide this well under makeup like other b.p creams
I went to Walmart and grabbed this one by mistake. I usually use Persa-Gel by Clean & Clear but I'm on a budget and this one was cheaper. I didn't notice until I got in the car that it had "tinted" written on it. I tried it that night and immediately saw results come morning time (though i did kinda cake it on before bed... i was frustrated) Anyway, I was pleased with my results. The only thing that bothered me was that the tint didn't blend well with my skin or really "hide" anything, nor did my moisturizer help rub in it more, so wearing makeup was nearly impossible, and watch out for the sun. Your skin will feel the burn. I'd recommend only wearing this at night or if your plan for the day is to do nothing

Pros:
Inexpensive, effective.
Cons:
Small container, easy to lose.
If you're thinking about not getting this because of the complaints about smell, get it! The smell is not bad at all, it actually smells like roses. At least mine does, purchased in 2009, and I have a very, very good sense of smell. So, perhaps a fragrance change? I am not using this to keep acne at bay, as I've been taking Accutane for 3 months & my face is currently acne free. I'm using it for the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I was using a mild salicylic gel overnight, which may have been working, but I lost the ridiculously tiny container, so I tried this out and the next morning I was startled at how much fainter my marks were and how soft & smooth my skin felt. I have continued to use this overnight, every night, in conjunction with nothing (thank you, Accutane!) and it continues to work brilliantly. You should realize in a few seconds that you cannot wear this out. Perhaps it should not be advertised as hinting this, but really, who cares? It w

Pros:
it does seem to be working, consistant
Cons:
the smell is kinda nasty but other people cant smell it, everyone saying the tint is dark.. but for me its light and im not even that dark.. if guys use it, it might look like makeup. and finally it doesn't say how long to keep the stuff on for
Give it a try.. it just might work for you

Pros:
This is the only thing that works on my adult acne (I'm in my 40s). I can't use anything with benzoyl peroxide and I have very sensitive skin. This is an effective treatment that doesn't irritate my skin.
Cons:
Smells pretty bad. The tint is too dark for my skin and doesn't lighten much when dry, so it can look like poison ivy lotion. I only use it at bedtime or for spot treatment. the creamy paste texture can dry crusty if applied too thickly.
It's great stuff if you can find it. I have a terrible time locating this in stores and online. I also wish it came in a vanishing formula as it did years ago. If you can tolerate the smell, it's a wonderful product that doesn't irritate sensitive skin the way benzoyl peroxide does. I love it.

This is fantastic!
I am 17 and have a lot of acne, I did. I used this for 3 full days and it's worked so much! I am so impressed with this product!
July 6, 2007
Pros:
I liked it because it seemed to work well on my acne.
Cons:
It bleached many of my towels and some of my sheets. Has anyone else had this problem?
It ruins clothing which cost $$. I will be looking for another alternative.

Pros:
none
Cons:
yuck -- smelly, made skin worse.
I threw it our after two weeks. not gentle. smelly. I foud Paula's Choice products and am much happier now.
Pros:
This stuff worked immediately. I used "bye bye blemish" which was another sulfur base and decided to give this a try(it's half the price)The results are amazing, forget benzol peroxide and salicylic acid, this is the way to go.
