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: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Cons:
can be slightly drying(but not really if you use it right!)
this is the only product that has really ever helped my acne, and i have used just about everything perscription and otherwise.
the trick is to just use it on blemishes not on the skin around it when i get home in the afternoon i apply it with a q-tip to any pimples on my face(but NOt on the skin around) and just leave it on all night(even though u r only supposed to use it for 5min or so). if i have a bad breakout i will reapply before bed too. ive found the most success when using this along with accutane.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It cleansed my face really well, and it got rid of the bad acne on my face which i've tried to clear for 3 years after 5 rounds of antibiotics and 3 creams.
The creams spread well also.
Cons:
The kit can be quite expensive up to £30 and it made my face really really REALLY dry, especially around my mouth when i first started to use the kit.
Now after 3 weeks my skin isnt dry.
the kit is very good, it was my last hope and i will continue to use it.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Good for Oily skin, died out the pimple, feel fresh and clean after using
Cons:
Packaging, Smell
It's good for me, I like the feeling after using, geting fresh and feel like I got brighten skin. I have been using for 2 month, once in a week. It helps reduce having pimple in the time of having period, but I really dont like the packaging. And the price is also expensive.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Fragance is good, best product i have tried...I have tried proactive, skin id, neutrogena, noxzema, clean and clear aveeno, and none of them work. This produt is really good even though i have sensitive skin.
Cons:
Bottles should of been bigger than what they are.
I love this product. My face feel so smooth and shiny. I think that this product is way better than proactive. I use proactive the 1st day I received the package tried it on and immediately my face turned red and swollen, it was really scary to see my face like that. But i guess every product doesnt work the same on everyone, bottom line is this product is doing what is suppose to do to my skin.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
smelled good
Cons:
no visable acne relief, purging stage NEVER ends
I stuck with the product because of the promise that the purging would stop, however, it never did. It made me break out in places I had never had acne problems with before and would wake up every morning with new blemishes and white heads. The pimples were painful, which never happened to me before. I stuck with the product for over two months and never saw any improvements. I got a prescription and saw immediate improvement in my skin.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
cleared up large spots
Cons:
peeled with toner noticed more blackheads
I have had pretty bad acne, I was mortified by my larger spots so I geuss a few tiny blackheads aren't as bad. Proactive made my skin peel way worse. I like the wash better than that weird creamy stuff. Moisurizer made me look fresh as a daisy. Now breakouts rarely happen.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
After one month my skin is clearer, no where near completely blemish free but I'm now on my second month and happy with the results so far.
Cons:
It is quite expensive and I don't know what the long term effects on my skin will be.
I would try this if benzol peroxide has not worked. It is easy to use and I'm hoping to be blemish free if the results keep happening with prolonged use. There is a definiate difference.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
not sure....
Cons:
very harsh feeling. I have had the same pimples on my face since I started and they have not faded, decreased, nothing! They are still there.
I know they tell you to give it time, but all I see that doing is wasting more of my hard earned money. I have seen nothing positive from this product.
Pros:
great spot treatment!!
