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).

Pros:
I cleared my face at first. Saw great results my skin looked and felt nice.

I think that my face has built a tolerance for it and now I am breaking out like if I were using nothing. I do not knwo what to use anymore...
It's okay but, I think it could be better for the price!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
there was nothing good about murad, it makes you feel like your doing something good for yourself, and its not, DO NOT BUY IT.
Cons:
for the first few weeks, my face broke out with little tiny zits where ive NEVER had acne before. it says on the paper they give u , that this is natural, and it take time to "adjust to ur skin", and it never went away.
I quit using it, and the little zits have gone now. The redness that was caused is totally gone. this is about 5 months after using that. i have to say benzoyl peroxide does work, and it did clear my skin very good. im currently using NUSKIN. it really hydrates your skin and makes you feel super good after you use it.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
None
Cons:
It really doesn't work well for the cost.
I am upset that I purchased this product because I really didn't want to pay for it but the sales lady really pushed for me to get it and insisted that it works well. Well it doesn't do anything for me. Luckily I only bought the trial package.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
I didn't give it a one because it didn't burn my face off.
Cons:
It made my face really oily and weird feeling, I broke out more than usual with lots of little bumps all over my face and some big cystic acne that I never get. I used this product for about a month.
Didn't work for me, neither did Proactive.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It wasn't over drying like most other acne systems.
Cons:
During the first couple weeks I noticed my skin to become softer and the acne started to fade, but now my skin has gone back to its oily acne prone self.
The only product that is actually worth buying is the skin perfecting lotion and thats about it. The bottom line is find another system to use.
