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.

I don't have acne but more of a rosacea type dermatitis that has plagued me for several years and this product has stopped the b umps from occuring.The sulpher seems to keep the bumps at bay and I recommend keeping it on your skin to keep the l lesions from forming.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Cons:
The smell. It smells like sulfur so you know it stinks.
The smell is completely worth it. It is sort of like a mask in how quickly it works. I use it at night and have a wonderful microdermabrasion cloth that I wash with in the morning. So basically, it dries everything up, to be fair it makes the skin a little dull looking I guess from the dry skin, but the cloth takes care of that and finally I am not the old crone with gray hair and pimples! Buy it! Try it! Worth the smell. Without a doubt worth the smell. I have used about everything on the market and was considering a home microdermabrasion unit. Seriously. Now, I don't need it. At least not for acne. Now I am worrying about these pesky crows feet!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Sulfur works great, esp for cystic acne (cleared mine in 2-3 days). Extremely inexpensive.
Cons:
It's tinted.
I wanted a sulfur spot treatment for overnight. I was spot treating with Queen Helene's Mint Julep but I wanted something that I could blend better into my skin than a bright green paste. LOL Unfortunately for me, this cream is tinted a shade lighter than me. Since I'm only using it at night it doesn't really matter. All of that aside, it works great. My skin really responds well to sulfur. So, I use my Dr. Joesoef's 10% sulfur soap in the morning. At night, I wipe my face with warm water and a washcloth/microfiber cloth and then put on the Acnomel. Sometimes I'll just put it on certain spots but lately I've been mixing it with a small amount of my shea butter mix so that it can spread easier.
I felt two cystic acne spots forming (TTOM) and I spread this stuff on my face at nightand the cystic acne spots are gone. No hyperpigmentation marks either (which happens sometimes). Wonderful for cystic acne. If you have acne and nothing's working, give sulfur a try, see if it works for yo

Pros:
Dries out zits fast. Masks blemishes.
Cons:
Awful sulfur smell.
I think this is the greatest. I now associate the the awful smell with the demise of the zits. Great stuff.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Cures acne very quickly.
Works like magic!
Cons:
Bad smell (my pillow case really smells like Sulphur - my husband hates the smell).
Dries the skin a little (I have oily skin so it doesn't affect me too much)
Ruins my fake jewelry (somehow it peels the top layer of silver-plated or gold-plated custom jewelry)
Works great! I'm very impressed. I love this product! It's the only product that cured my acne. Now I have very light or no acne; but before using this product I had very severe acne. Especially after taking Niaspan that one of my doctors prescribed me for high cholesterol - my acne rosacea was out of control! I highly recommend this product, the cons are really not a big deal - the results are spectacular. Good luck to all!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
This stuff works awesome! I use it at night and wash in the morning mostly because I put it on thick, prob don't have to, but makes me feel better! I've used it for years and hope its never discontinued! Just a weird tidbit, it helps with the onset of herpes sores.
Cons:
Can't think of any...
I've loved this product for years!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Cheap, colour matched my skin, didn't dry it out, gave me a great skin tone
Cons:
Didn't work that well
I started using this after I stopped using benzoyl peroxide which I had been using for 4 years (which never really worked that well). Acnomel seemed to get rid of my breakouts at first and I was enjoying my hydrated and more even skin tone compared to when I was using BP, so I had high hopes. But... it never ended up really working. I continued to have moderate breakouts the same as when I was on BP. So I quit.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
got rid of acne quickly. also reduced redness by a lot.
Cons:
none. i can deal with the smell, and the smell doesn't linger anyway.
i'm 20 years old. I've had clear skin until i got to college then acne just took over my face. I've had a really bad cysitc pimple that has literally been on my face for one month. nothing i did would get rid of it. I got this product two days ago, and that one pimple has DRAMATICALLY reduced. its nothing short of amazing. all my other little zits and an emerging cyst are now all completely flat. i'm amazed at how well this stuff worked for me. I just use it at night. after washing my face, i put on my moisterizer, then i put this stuff on like a spot treatment, and go to bed. then i wake up with clearer skin. what more could a girl want?

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
IT WORKS!!! I was 12 years old when I first used it; now I'm 66 and still use it from time to time. It is hard to fine. I used to have the drugstore order it for me, now I find it on Ebay! YEAH !!
Cons:
It only comes in a small tube.
This stuff works well for zits, stopped up oil glands and most other skin problems. They talk about a bad odor, you don't eat it!
Pros:
I love this stuff! I am 36, had a hysterectomy and thyroidectomy. Needless to say my hormones are jacked and so was my face, until I started using this! Completely worth the smell! The color is actually not bad for me and when I put it on it evens out my skin tone and I go to bed. I would not use it in the day just for fear someone would smell it! It sort of reminds of the Proactiv mask but amped up X 1000. Oh and I got it at dollar general! LOL
