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).

I don't know why I or anyone else is using this product. Before they make new products, they should make the 3 steps work just as well, I pay alot for them and I want them to work.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Shrunk and made pimples come to a head quickly. Money back guarantee when it didn't work.
Cons:
Severely dries your face. Irritating to the skin. Caused a severe allergic reaction.
I was previously a satisifed Pro Active customer, but after 4 years, it didn't work for me as well. After hundreds of dollars spent on regimens I hoped would work, my acne progressively got worse. When I received the Murad, like everyone else, I hoped this would work. At first it seemed like it was working; however, while my old pimples were vanishing, new pimples would appear, especially after using the mask. WORST OF ALL WAS THE ALLERGIC REACTION TO MY EYES, even though I made sure the product was nowhere near them, day by day I noticed my eyes getting puffier, itchy, and the skin underneath them red like sunburn. After seeking a doctor, I was informed it was an allergic reaction.

Proactive specialists tell you how to use it. Many people complain about how it makes your skin dry out or how it doesn't work or how you don't get enough in each bottle ( for the price ). I can't say I've had bad pimples or acne, but I like my face completely clear just like everyone else. The ammount they suggest for you to use is way to much, this is what is causing dryness and irritation. I have purchased this product once and got a sample of it to begin with. The product I purchased myself has now lasted me well over a year. I've still got that one tiny pimply a month on my face. You can't expect any product to have dramatic effects. First I began to use the '' Renewing Cleanser '' each morning in the shower using a fairly good ammount to cover my face and I used my finger tips to scrub only!!. The reason for using it in the shower is because 1. Your hands are clean in there and you won't get dirt on your face causing your pores to get dirty and then swell and turn into pi

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Face wash was ok. Soapy but leaves skin dry.
Cons:
Stings. Smells bad and burns your nostrils. Spot treatment is hard to use and it's messy. Made me breakout more. This is probably the worse breakout I ever had. Beware of this product.
I do not recommend this product.

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)
Pros:
cleanses fine, cheap
Cons:
didn't help acne, smells awful
despite what some will tell you, the sulfur smell lingers, even if you wash w/ another cleanser afterwards (I must have an overly sensitive sniffer, but I certainly can smell it even hours later). but for me, it just didn't work. i've used a prescription sulfur product w/ great success in the past, but I seemed to gradually become resistant to it, as it eventually stopped working. perhaps i'm now resistant to all sulfur? my own experience aside, you should dfn. give it a whirl. its cheap and has some powerful ingredients in it. ( i dont think it's too natural, though..)
Pros:
Works great as a spot treatment and sometimes as a over night mask.
