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)
Cons:
Doesn't work.
It's too expensive to experiment with and in the end it's just not worth it. You're better off buying those random acne "cures" they sell at drugstores instead. The treatment smells awful too.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
The mask is pretty good.
Cons:
Not strong enough, very expensive.
My face broke out pretty bad on this stuff. I really don't buy this "purging" business. I would not advise anyone buying this system. You can buy AcneFree Severe at Walmart and it works much better. I am switching back to that. I bought the product with some hope it would work for me. I have never had a 'miracle' product like some. Oh well, Murad is definately not it!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
absolutely nothing, except msybe for the little free gifts i will get to keep from the informortial!
Cons:
made my skin, that was pretty moderate light acne that only needed a little powder to many tiny little red bumps and white heads all around my mouth, EYES, chin, and forehead!
i know the informortion will make it look tempting but dont be fooled like many have! and stop wasting your hopes on this "purging" bs! because its just going to keep getting worse and worse!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
made my skin feel really soft and hydrated
Cons:
it didn't work at all
well, i used this product for about a year. instead of helping get rid of my acne, it made it even worse. now in the paper, it says that it's suppose to do that at first and then clear up your pimples. however, after breaking out horribly for a year, i had enough.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It worked! Got rid of 70% of my acne.
Cons:
My acne returned after about a month of using it. Lotion made my skin sensitive.
I have tried everything out there for ance and nothing worked. I bought this product and used it for three months. It worked really well at first, then it just stoped working. I was really frustrated because it stoped working.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Didn't make acne worse.
Cons:
I didn't see any positive results other than the lack or irritation.
I don't recommend it. It's not worth the price and there's no benefit to buying it.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It didn't make my acne worse, but it' didn't work @ all. Once in a while, it will pop out more acne but not tremendous.
Cons:
It's didn't work for me, the yellow acne cream that came with it was a bit odd, when I first purchased and used it, the cream was not smooth, it had little bumps in it which I thought was propably an old bottle, but I just purchased it!
I used 2 of the box and box the cream had little while balls in it, IT doesn't work. The sales lady asked me what I used previously, and i told her neutrogena, and she told me that cheap stuff doesn't work and both the sales lady said bad things about cheap product and suggest this for me and garanteed it will work or I could bring it back! IT DIDN"T work, whats worse is I think neutrogena even worked better than this and neutrogena is cheaper! I never brought the product back simply because it was a hassle to drive an hour back to return!! I would not recommend it!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
cleanser didn't dry out my skin, worked very quickly, worked consistantly for almost a year
Cons:
breakouts come back if don't use the products as directed for even a day or two
i never had any of the problems described here. it didn't make my skin worse at all, it just got better and stayed better. i bought the kit first but now i just use the cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and the occasional spot treatment. i love it, and its the only thing that has ever worked for me.

Pros:
The moisturizer was kinda nice, I guess.
