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.

Pros:
It is a pretty good product for adult acne. I'd like to recommend this for people who might be suffered with adult acne. I have been using this product for 6 months.
Cons:
It causes little driness to my skin. It smell pretty bad but tolerable. It is tinted which means guys can't use it daytime.
I've tried Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic acid. The former worked but caused extremely dry skin, and the latter didn't work well. I believe there are two "direct" causes which develop acne: bacteria and dead skin cells. If you tried antibiotics, such as Benzoyl peroxide and Salicylic acid, and failed, you have to try this Sulfur and Resorcinol combination to prevent dead cells clumping together. It also work on inflammation; that means it reduces redness of your pimples. I have been troubling with acne for a long time. And I tried dozen of products within 1 year. At least for my skin, this product works best. Nonetheless, I recommend you to choose proper cleansing and moisturizing products. They should cooperate. As a intensive care cream for adult acne, it is recommended without doubt. I put the CVS price without tax below. It cost a little bit low online although they usually require shipping/handling fees.

Pros:
I wore it like a foundation (I don't think it was supposed to be, though), so I didn't need makeup.
Cons:
It's hard to find.
I don't really like the smell, but I'm the only one that notices it.
It doesn't last all day.
I never realized that this product couldn't be worn like a makeup. I knew it was a spot treatment, but my skin tone and acne were so uneven that I used it on my entire face. I saw that it covered fairly well, but by the end of the school day, my face was red and blotchy again and it didn't really clear up my pimples. I've never tried this product at night before, but it didn't really help during the day, so I probably won't attempt it. Basically, I feel stupid for using it in a similar way as a foundation, and I hope other students didn't notice or think I looked strange or something. But if the product works for you, I recommend you continue using it.

June 17, 2009
Pros:
Works really well on acne
Cons:
Smells, discolors/bleaches clothing
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I have used it for years, and have always had to replace damaged clothing. Although the warning is on the label, it's just not worth it in the long run. It's funny how there is no rating option for recommending this product. I'm done with it.
Pros:
It's tinted so it hides the blemish a little
