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)
Pros:
I have only been using this product so keep that in mind while reading this but so far I have had fantastic results. it is not completely clear yet but a lot of my acne has gotten smaller if it has not disappeared. It really reduces redness as well.
Cons:
The smell is disgusting. During the day that is all I can smell no matter how much perfume I of on. Also my skin got really dry. I have sensitive skin so I expected that but I have only been using it at night so caution to users with dry skin.
It really has been working well so far with my acne and skin color. It evened out my skin tone and made my face smoother. I do have a lot of drying so you might want to try a more generic moisturizer. The moisturizer is also the source of the foul smell. Also do not buy this product from the website. I found it on amazon for only 20 dollars and it is the same exact thing minus the facial mask but it is worth it considering that you won't get stuck in an every month purchase and if you don't like the product you do not have to struggle to cancel before the 30 days before they charge you and send you a new one.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
The cleanser was alright, even though it didn't completely make my skin clear..it didn't cause me to breakout more.
Cons:
The murad spot treatment was way too harsh for my skin.. it damaged my skin. I think because it contains sulfur ingredients. The acne exfoliating treatment gel dried my skin out. The moisturizer was mediocre.
Please do not waste your money on these products. They end up irritating your skin more than treating it. There are cheaper products in drugstores that work better than this system.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Their commercials really suck you into believing that their product will work. I was able to get my money back because I bought from their website.
Cons:
It made my mild acne horrible. I now have inflamed acne that has not improved yet. With consistent use for the promised four week improvement my skin was much worse than before using Murad.
It's not worth the money. I'd rather have the mild acne than what is happening to my skin now. Even with the use of true natural products and very clean eating, my skin is still damaged. The only thing that has changed in my routine is the Murad. Read The Green Beauty Guide.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Dries out small pimples
Reduces oil
Cons:
When I leave it on overnight, it's hard to wash off in the morning, and i have to rub it really hard and that irritates my skin.
Also makes my skin extremely dry.
Doesn't work extremely well at all for me... but my skin's unique so it might work better for you.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Best acne product i ever had. Shows results after 1-3 days. Pretty good.
Cons:
Not the best smell. When im sleeping, it gets all over my pillow and stuff since i move around in bed. This probably effected the result. xP. It works for small pimples, the big ones take a little bit more time.
Good product. Gives good results. Worth it for sure!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It left my skin feeling soft and made my skin look good...i used proactiv and it made my skin look darker and dull. But it cleared my skin up alittle
Cons:
I still have acne.and blackheads.
I liked this product but it didnt clear my skin up. People would tell me my skin looks good but i hadnt started to wear make up and when i took the make up off...my skin was still blahhh...it smelt pretty good for a acne cleanser though! it did leave my skin actually feeling clean. I really wish that it wouldve worked! My boyfriend Jake is soooooo perfect and i'm soooo surprised he likes me! i just wish i could have clear skin so he would feel like im perfect! I WANT CLEAR SKIN!!!!!

I have been using this product for over a year now, and it works great! It seems to even out my skin tone, and reduce and correct any unwanted blemishesacne spots. It hardens at first, leaving no residue on your face in the end!
Pros:
The lotion made my skin look good,It wasn't too oily or dry.
