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)
Pros:
It is great and cheap.
Cons:
None--just lucky to have found it.
I am 45 and had adult acne and rosacea for about 10 years--I have tried everything--all the expensive MD stuff. I found this by accident--and it is the best thing I've ever used. My 19 year old uses it for her (pretty bad) acne and also loves it. Plus its cheap!!!!!!!!!!!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Affordable, easy to use, works great as a foundation under makeup and really works - fast!
Cons:
None that I have experienced
I am 41 and have been battling acne since my early teens. I have tried almost every over the counter drug with minimal results. I apply Acnomel all over my face and put an extra dose directly on a pimple. Within a day or two, the pimple is gone. Acnomel is fantastic. My dermatologist asked me where I purchased it so he could recommend it to his patients.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
This product seems to be shrinking rosacea lesions and is helping them to not spread.I am only on day four but finally I think I don't have to live with reoccurring bumps.The sulpher calms them down and I used to use Prosacea(otc) but it was not stro
Cons:
The pigment color is too dark for me, the smell is nothing if it gets rid of this horrible problem with my skin.What scant sulpher smell there is smells good as it is clearing my skin.The cream is very 'cakey' and one cannot apply make up over it.
I am so very thankful to finally find a product to help clear this strange dermitis.I am 45 and while this is not acne (it is itchy but pustule like) the sulpher helps it to keep from spreading.I feel hope that my skin won't continue to break out in these strange lesions.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Fast acting (I saw improvement overnight), contains soothing clay, slightly tinted. Pretty impressed.
Cons:
Couldn't find in stores--bought online. After it is on a few minutes, a not-great sulfur smell emerges. Definitely to be used only at night.
One of the best OTCs I have used. I have also been on Accutane (relapsed), Clindamycin, Erythromycin, Spironolactone (did nothing), BP--off and on for years-- and pretty much every other thing you can imagine. Still fighting after 33--yes, 33-- years of acne...

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
This is the best adult acne porduct I've used. I have spent about $800.00 at a local skin care center to get my acne to clear, with little results. I've used this for the past 4 days and my skin is almost clear. It cost $10.99 at rite-aid!
Cons:
NONE!!!!!
I wish I knew this before I spent so much money trying other products!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Cons:
I had a severe allergic reaction to acnomel 24-hrs after using this product as an overnight spot treatment. I have large, red, itchy patches on my face that resemble poison ivy breakouts, so this did not help acne at all.
Bad product, not for use on sensitive skin.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Well after trying just about everything, short of Accutane, and going thru sev. different Dermatologists, I found something (randomly) in the drug store. The box said it was milder to the skin than Benzyol Perx. and I was desparate badly broken out
Cons:
Only negative the sulphur smell. Its worth overlooking the smell though--this stuff works.
In amy in my mid-forties, and I have been fighting super oily skin, breakouts, cystic acne since my teens. I have been to several different dermatologists, and have had numerous rx for rosacea and acne. I was alway super oily, w/large pores, in the t-zone, and flaking every where else. I was at the point where I was once again breaking out (badly) w/each monthly cycle (hormones?) and it would take two to three weeks for the previous months breakout to clear up, before I broke out again...so I was never clear. Had large pores and black heads on my nose and chin. I stumbled upon this at the drug store and decided to try it (it was cheap, $7.99). Within a week my nose was smooth (no large pores) and blackheads all but gone. IF YOU HAVE SUPER OILY SKIN (LIKE ME) THIS IS THE PRODUCT TO USE!!! Very drying on cheeks and around mouth...but a miracle worker on the t-zone. I dab on break outs only on cheeks, but wear it like a foundation at night on t-zone. In am skin smoooth ¬ red!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Clears up pimples in a matter of a day or two.
Cons:
I didn't find it earlier in my life.
I have been using Acnomel since 1983. It is by far the most effective acne medication I have ever used. The price is affordable and I would highly reccommend this product.
Pros:
Dries up pimples
