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:
I noticed that if you use it with other non brand items, it can cause your face to break out quite a bit. However, used alone, it will correct the blemishes and continue to improve your face.
The bottom line is, this is as close to a perfect product as they get. You won't be dissapointed. It will clear your skin, and within a week of subsequent use give you a flawless complexion, even if your skin has not a clear spot on it. Give it a chance, give it some time. I recommend using with the other Proactiv products. The set together works wonders.

I use the refining mask as much as I can because I can see it working on my scars. I have really sensitive skin and it drys my skin out so badly.... so I don't know if you have a bath and body works near you.. but they have a WHOLE line of organic products that are made to mosturize your skin. The cream works WONDERS! They have a website and i strongly suggest you try it for hydrating your skin. They also make a cleasner and a tonic for makeup removal. If I wear makeup, I tend to use the tonic and then my Proactive combo.. and follow up with the cream instead of the mosturizer Proactive sends. Just works better and my skin has felt so much happier.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Dries out acne, even those deep pimples. Makes skin less oily. Smoother skin. Less inflamation.
Cons:
A lot of people complain about the smell, but it's not that bad, unless you combine it with other treatments. Also, they don't give you that much for the price you pay.
This product is a life saver. Two nights before my cousin's wedding I had one of those huge, red, and extremely oily cysts on my forehead. I put the mask on my entire face, concentrating the mask on my zit. I did this for two nights and I left the mask on for about 20 minutes. On the day of the wedding, the zit was gone.

Pros:
cleaning the skin very deeply and preventing pimpels and spots.

Haven't experienced cons yet! Only, it doesn't smell that good and its a bit expensive. But who cares about that, IT WORKS! So use it!
For everyone who has pimpels and acne its a good treatment.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
It really does clear the skin!
Cons:
Smell and small quantity for expensive price
People who want to reduce the look of acne should definately use this. Even if your face looks so oily like you could cook a damn egg on it, proactive reduces the look of this greatly. Strongly recommended!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
-Reduces size of acne
Cons:
-Dries skin out
-Hard to remove
-Takes a while to work
-Irritates my skin
I really don't like this stuff because of the reasons above. It dries out my face and causes a lot of redness to my very sensitive skin, it's hard to remove, and when you do remove it requires so much friction that it irritates my skin even further. More than that, it takes a while to work, I normally see results in about a week.
Pros:
This product absolutely works. It clears up anything and everything, given the nessesary time (i.e. twenty minutes per pimple, etc) and the right daily usage (i.e. several times a week if needed.) You can count on this product. You won't be let down.
