Topical Keratolytic
Acne.org’s Real World Take
Due to its antimicrobial properties and ability to absorb skin oil and dry out the skin, sulfur has been used for thousands of years for various skin conditions, including acne. However, it is normally reserved for noninflammatory acne (whiteheads and blackheads), because it doesn't work as well as other over-the-counter medications for inflammatory acne (papules and pustules).

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Cons:
The price , but if you get the 30 day kit it will last you a long time.
This stuff is AMAZING! I can't live without it. My skin is BEAUTIFUL thanks to Murad. My skin is so smooth and clear! And I have amazing confidence knowing that my skin looks great without makeup! I have been using Murad for about 4/5 weeks and I saw results in 10 days. I would definitely recommend Murad acne complex to anybody that is tired of using stuff that doesn't work. I'm 14 years old and I have had sooo much trouble with my skin and now I have finally found something that really works!!!
Yes it is a bit expensive but if you get the 30 day kit that will last you a long time. I TOTALLY RECOMMENDED THIS!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Some of the products smelled good. It makes your skin feel good at first.
Cons:
Made acne worse. Gave me a rash on my neck. I didnt like the way some of the products smelled
At first, I thought this product was really going to work. It says it gets worse after two weeks, then you should have clear skin after using it for 4 weeks. I only used it for about 4 or 5 days, and my acne is starting to get worse and after reading these reviews of what this product does to your skin and how it makes it worse than before with scarring and cysts, I am definately not using this product anymore. Now I'm scared after using it for just 4-5 days that my skin is going to get worse for a long period of time.

Pros:
Smells amazing. It's like a mint gum version of facewash. Really convinces you that it's working.
Cons:
I was so excited about this. For the first week and a half it didn't do anything. Then my face got way worse. after for weeks, my face got a little better, but not better than before.
NOO!

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)
Pros:
So far, so good.
Cons:
None So Far
I have only used this product for three days so far. And so far, my face has cleared up and gotten softer. I am only using it on one side of my face because I had been using tazorac topical on the other side of my face recently. I have only washed my face once a day with this product, then use cetaphil in the morning or vise versa. along with lotion after both. I have severly oily skin and have always had a skin condition. I have gone on accutane twice so I do not get the large cyst like pimples any longer, but I still get major bumps all over my face. I will review in two weeks to let you know the progress.

Pros:
None

Made my face way worst then what it was. I thought it was going to work at first but the 2nd day wasn't so good. My face started to dry and crack!! It has been 4 weeks and still worst then before.
Don't use it!!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
The smell is god!
Cons:
It dried my skin a lot, specially the area below my eyes. I am dissapointed!
It doesn't work. I tried proactiv first and then I decided to give Murad a chance. I am going back to proactiv, the renewing cleanser is the best!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
cleared up my skin quickly without drying it out
Cons:
a little bit expensive
I actually really love this product. After trying to use Proactiv for months, and watching my face get worse, I got up the nerve to quit and switch to Murad. My skin cleared up almost immediately and is super hydrated. I am so relieved to find a product that actually works and makes my skin feel great. No more piles of foundation =)

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Smells good, feels good, has a cooling effect.
The spot treatment definitely gets rid of any pimple I get virtually overnight! The cleanser makes my skin feel soft and clean, and the lotion is my favorite part! The exfoliating gel is refreshing :
Cons:
At first the exfoliating gel is harsh and burns but only because I accidentally used it twice a day, when they advise you to use it once a day for the first 2 weeks... The purging process sucked but worth it after. Doesn't do too much for blackheads.
I recommend this with no hesitation. It works, it gets rid of my breakouts, I don't have any bumps on my face period and nothing else worked for me. It's definitely worth a try!! It's easy to get at Sephora and online on the website it's even cheaper.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Nothing 'pro' for me.
Cons:
I gave the product 9 weeks to work. The purging was HORRIBLE - lasting all 9 weeks. My face is in worse shape now than it was before Murad. Proactive wasn't cutting it anymore, so I tried Murad. My skin looks older & I fear it will never recover.
If you have hormonal acne - this product is not for you. I even called the customer service number after 4 weeks for advice and she told me Murad probably would not help hormonal related acne. She said it can take some people longer than 4 weeks, so I stuck with it another month or so. I have more breakouts & cyst type breakouts than I have EVER had in my whole life.

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)
Pros:
Doesn't require any extra steps since I just replaced my soap bar with this one. No cover-up fragrances.
Cons:
It's incredibly good value for what it does, but I just wish they would sell it locally so I don't have to pay for shipping every time I need more.
Bottom line is that it works really well and seems like a very natural way to take care of my skin. I only had moderate/mild acne which is all gone now, but I still use it to pH balance my skin. It does smell like sulfur, but I actually like that. It's like I have my own sulfur spring at home :D
Pros:
My skin is amazingly clear and flawless it makes my skin feel smooth and refreshed! My acne is now gone and I have BEAUTIFUL SKIN! Try this for yourself you will not be sorry!
