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)
Cons:
unable to keep shrinked acne from growing again so must be used everyday, smells, dries up your skin but product doesn't not come with precise information on whether to use moisturizers or toners
for me, its a product that didn't cause damage to the skin other than dryness which can be overcome, which is a very useful factor because i have very sensitive skin. It's medium effectiveness means serious acne prone people will want to look at more effective creams but for something over the counter, what more can u ask for?

Pros:
*gets rid of those super irritated, inflamed pimples you pick at that take ten years to turn into whiteheads (not cystic acne though)
*you don't have to look at your acne when you're wearing it
Cons:
*color does not fit all (wear in privacy of house)
*leaves super tiny pointy bumps where inflamed acne was
Really reduces swelling a lot. However, now I'm left with these super annoying mini pimples and some hyperpigmentation. I slathered this stuff all over my face one night and when I woke up the next morning, they were literally gone. Good for super red, irritated, volcano-like whiteheads.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
I've been using this product for 2 weeks now, it's really helped! I'm in my late 40's, I've struggled with acne since my teens. Nothing helped, I've tried everything! This has changed the complexion of my face & quickly takes care of new pimples.
Cons:
That I never heard of it before.................I could have been using this for years.
I will continue to use this product and I will recommend it.

Pros:
I just bought this stuff yesterday and I already see improvement in my skin! I hope it keeps working this well as I am in my 40's and am SOOO tired of having acne. Ugh!
Cons:
None...I don't hate the smell, I could care less about the color as long as it works and so far it does.
Try it! It may not work for everyone but it sure as heck seems to be working for me. (and yes I have tried every other thing ever made on the market)

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! It reduced redness after one application!
Cons:
It might look weird to apply it in the morning, or with makeup it would be difficult. (Idk, I don't wear makeup as a guy.)
One of the best spot treatments out there!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
I am almost 30 and have been suffering with acne sine 12. I have LITERALLY tried everything. This cleared me up in two days and my skin has never been smoother.
Cons:
Nothing. The smell is not that bad and is goes away in less than an hour.
I cannot believe I have not heard of sulfur for acne until recently. This product is great! I would recommend it to anyone who has pustule, inflammed, whitehead acne. I am waiting on my Grandpa's Thylox soap so that I can get rid of all other BP and acid products!

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
Acnomel was a great acne treatment until recently
Cons:
The tubes labeled 30% more are actually just a watered down product and its effectiveness is greatly decreased.
I hope they change it back.

Product used: Adult Acnomel (Acne Medication)
Pros:
I have used acnomel for many years. Having had extremely bad acne into adulthood. I discovered it when I was about 30 years old. My sons have used it and I have recommended it to many people who have had much success. Moisturizing is a must.
I am an Aesthetician and I recommend this product to anyone suffering with acne. I will clear up pimples in a day or two. It is fantastic. Toner and moisturizers are a very important part of skincare regimen. My sons swear by it they apply it as soon as a pimple shows and it clears them within a day. Experiment with it all skins types are different and it can dry some more than others. Best acne product available.

Pros:
dries up pimples immediately they will be practically gone in 2-3 days. sulfur works really well for my skin. I have sensitive skin and this did not bother me at all. no adjustment time period needed. if I only use a little and smooth it in really well I can use during the day. I actually like the smell, smells like roses and much better than the actual smell of sulfur you get with proactiv's mask. affordable. only need to use a little for it to work.
Cons:
the tint isn't perfect, but who really cares about that. if you aren't consistent with it your pimples will reappear but that goes for any acne treatment.
If you found that proactiv's mask worked for you as a spot treatment get this stuff. It has sulfur which works. And it's affordable so if for some reason it doesn't work for you, you're not out of a lot of money.
Pros:
it is effective to a degree, shrinks the acne and redness becomes pink in one day, doesn't contain benzoyl peroxide
