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:
Not only does it smell bad, but that smell stays on my face the whole day!
Works well, but a bit harsh and chemically, and I don't like smelling it all day.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Smells nice, nice texture. Easy to use. The cleanser makes your skin feel clean.
Cons:
No Improvement. Ineffective. Too expensive.
I have seen no improvement using this product and am extremely disappointed. I had hoped this would be the product to finally clear my skin. Just as ineffective and disappointing as Proactive in my opinion, and WAYYYYY too expensive. The Acne Spot Treatment sucks, complete waiste, doesn't work at all. I am fed up with Acne products completely. WHEN WILL I FIND ONE THAT REALLY WORKS??

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
clears pimples! cleans the skin! I love it!
Cons:
if you rinse your face with cold water it won't come off all the way and you're left with white streaks.
works very well! clears acne, and as long as you rinse your face with warm water it's good!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Pretty packaging... instantly drawn to it while I was shopping at Sephora
Cons:
This product sucks.
The packing is crap... nothing but a marketing scam. Murad did not make my skin any better. If anything, it made it much much worse. My skin broke out in monsterous zits on my cheeks and chin. Horrible product and a waste of money

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
before you think it's working but then like later the "treatment #2" it'll stink and it wouldn't work.
Cons:
breaks you out more even though they call it "purging" and they said that the "purging" only last for the first week but then mine lasted forever..
i hate murad, it doesn't work.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
It would be good for Geisha face paint
Cons:
Everything
I only get a pimple or two every now and then, and I dabbed a bit on a pimple once as a spot treatment, and it seemed like it made the pimple bigger, and more added redness to it making it more visible. It smells really bad, and tends to linger even after you've rinsed it off. It's also a bit pricey for such a small amount. I'm sure it works for some people, but it's no miracle.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
it works.
Cons:
you have to buy the proactiv system, it's expensive, and you don't get that much.
it doesn't dry out your skin, it reduces the size of pores, and it actually works. it just sucks that it's so expensive.
Pros:
Definitely removes flaky dead skin, and makes skin smoother.
