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:
A Horrible feeling comes from using it after 2 or 3 days. A HORRIBLE uncomfortable pinching and stinging feeling comes from the cleanser and spot treatment.
Not a good experience. Hurt horrible and made me have the bad acne I have today. I broke out after four days but thought it was just bringing up stuff from my pores but realized it made me breakout at least 10 times worse than before.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
This product did clear the acne that I had initially on my face. I have been using it for 2 weeks and I haven't had any new breakouts. It made my pores a lot smaller, and my face doesn't look so red.
Cons:
I think its all the citrus extracts, but this product will dry out your skin if you do not moisturize. I did get a slight unnoticeable rash, but I stuck it out and it went away. I'll deal with a little irritation if it clears my face!
** BTW i did NOT use the Acne Complex Package after hearing the horrible reviews. I went to a local beauty supply and purchased the Clarifying Cleanser and the toner separately. I use a tiny hint of moisturizer morning and night, just a HINT, because this product does dry out your skin and it can be uncomfortable.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Liked the moisturizing lotion.
Cons:
Irritated my skin, made it very dry and itchy. When I would apply the on spot acne treatment or the post acne lightener gel it STUNG soo bad. Sometimes when I would apply my make up it would burn really bad. I have been using since Jan. SUCKS.
Basically dont buy it. I still have acne, hasn't improved anything for me. Save your money. Due Accutane thats worth all the $$. Nuetrogena works better.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
works well at first
Cons:
does not get rid of cystic acne
does not help much with scars
I did not really go through the purging phase like the others. At first, I thought it was ok because it made my skin tone even and somehow lessened my acne. I was not working then so I did not have to deal with a lot of stress. When I started working, my skin got worse even if I was still on Murad. I continued it for another 3 months but I did not see any improvement. I don't really recommend this for someone who has moderate to severe acne. It's too expensive and will probably work only for people with very mild acne

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)
Pros:
Works to heal & prevent a variety of skin disorders
Cons:
In my case, there were no cons
You will need to use acne spot treatments on individual zits. This is not enough alone.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
None
Cons:
I don't have too much to say because I used this for about 4 months and it didn't change my acne for better or for worse.
This product does nothing but what a basic bar of soap does after washing your face. I saw no improvements at all nor did it make my face worse. I just felt like I wasted my money cause the end result after four months was the same before using the product.

Pros:
none
Cons:
PURGING!
im still using it for about a month and a half and if it doesnt get any better by the end of the second month, I WILL STOP USING IT. IT MADE MY SKIN WORSE THAN BEFORE!!!!!
im not sure how long purging is supposed to take but for me its been about a month.. it started about two weeks after i started using the product.. i also followed the steps exactly and i just got more bumps and broke out more than usual.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Made my skin very soft & clean! I was using a few topical creams & they worked for a couple years but suddenly stopped & I started getting these little white bumps all over my face so a friend told me about Murad & now the bumps are almost all gone!
Cons:
It made my skin a littel red and uneven at first & purged my skin pretty bad but it was worth it cuz my skin looks 100% better than it did before I used it :)
Great product! It might make your skin uneven or dry at first but if you just give it time it is amazing.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It works at first, that's it.
Cons:
It works at first, but like all other highly advertised acne solutions, it turns on you. It hooks your skin on it making you have to fork out the cash! Bleh! Don't buy it!!
It really just made my skin alot worse, just irritated and oily.
Not worth the price at all. Not worth any price really, if you want to keep your acne forever then you should indeed buy this product.
Pros:
The first few times you use it your skin feels very soft. Mask is EH.
