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:
I'm peeling in the spot areas I used the exfoliating product (supposed to to all over face but was recommended to spot it). Neck is blotchy and red and irritated. I have the Vitamin C cream (wicked expensive) to help moisturize and still doesn't work
I feel horrible. My OTC product wasn't doing great but this expensive product has wrecked my face!

Stinks, Screwed up my skin -- I used it as spot treatment overnight as instructed and it lightened my skin color. Now I look like a silly retard with a white spot on my forehead.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It clears up or pimple and white head , skin look tight like teen. no flaky But I use just toner and ex foliate acne gel.
Cons:
when I use the whole package it made my face terrible and flaky.
at first I use the whole package 2 year ago at first 2 weeks my skin was so perfect. my pimple all gone. I use a lot of exfoliate acne gel and a lot of toner. then after that my skin got worse and worse. so terrible. then I switched to Proactive then Dan regimen, even how long I 've had use I never had a good day. I alway get a new big pimple every other day! then I thought my skin must love Salicid acid but at that time I must use it overuse. then I switched back to murad again but I use only toner and exfoliate acne gel. and I just use a little one time a day then 3 months later morning and night and I use Estee advance night repair for moisture. That's it! now my skin is so incredible. I got people give me compliment how my skin so perfect in age of 30s.

Everything
I have always had perfect skin up until 3months ago when i had a terrible break out on my forehead.. a friend recommended Dr Murad and so i went ahead and ordered 2months worth of treatment.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
feels nice in a way, doesn't make my skin feel tight, doesn't over-dry
Cons:
smells like playdough, does not work on pimple overnight
in the commercial it says the mask can, "zap problem zits fast."
that is not true, however, i do find this to be a very nice mask (besides the fact that it smells like playdough)
it does help with the redness on my face

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
NONE
Cons:
Dry red skin, painful blisters, more breakouts
I am convinced this product doesn't work on sensitive skin. I used it lightly as the package said and then increased over time. I had a light breakout and after a few days I had 3 times as many bumps - and they were large and painful. I used the spot treatment which made them blistery and has taken over two weeks for them to heal. Normally I would get one or two of these type a month and it would be about a 5 day healing cycle. I had to stop using it because I was afraid the purging process would never end and I am too busy with work to wait for this embarrassing time to end! I also noticed that my eyes look very swollen - similar to how they look when I have allergies. It is just too harsh for anyone with sensitive skin! Don't believe the commericials! What is really strange is that I keep reading great reviews until I found this site where everyone is having the same problems I have!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
works very well and makes me face feel smooth and healthy. I leave it on for longer then the 10 min. it suggests also.
Cons:
it doesnt work in one night like the comercials say. there is a noticable difference in the morning which is good but pimples are not completely gone.
Get it. Its soo worth it!
Pros:
The first few days I thought my complexion was improving then it went drastically worse the 4th day.
