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)
Pros:
Fights pimples faster than any other over the counter regimen.
Cons:
Smells Like s*&%
I recommend this product to anyone, like me, who has occasional breakouts. It works in a couple of days, if not overnight, and it's worth getting. If your like me and tried all the over the counter products and they didnt work, get this. It's the best.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Cons:
Within a 2 week period, i went from having the occasional break out , to having breakouts all over my face, were not talking a few here or there, 30-40 all over!
I would never recommend this product to anyone, it has made the last few months of my life hell. My skin is disgusting thanks to the acne complex, i used to get the occasional breakout just like everyone else so i thought i would give this a try to keep everything clear all the time, and was horrifid when my skin starting breaking out everywhere, in random places i have never even had a zit before..i stopped using it well over a month ago and my skin has still not gone back to normal...DO NOT TRY THIS PRODUCT! i wonder how they are even aloud to sell something this destructive!!!!!!!!! It basically gives you the opposite of everything it promises!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It doesn't smell bad. Packaging is decent. That's it.
Cons:
Where to start? Basically what everyone else has said here-horrible breakouts. I've been using this since mid March and for exactly 3 weeks I have had breakouts everyday. Not just one or two but clusters. I do not go anywhere but work.
This doesn't work. I should of stayed with Pro-Active. Also, will someone please explain why the starter kit doesn't come with toner? I had to buy it separately. Of the three items in the kit, the directions's state "after toning" yet no toner. More wasted money.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
it comes in a cute little package and smells good
Cons:
didn't work on my skin... and very expensive.
im not sure if my skin is just nonresponsive to salicylic acid, but it didn't do a thing for me. it seems to be alright for some people if salicylic acid works for you.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
This product is amazing. It calms my skin when I have pressure-causing acne and when I remove the mask I can see how open my pores are and the oil/plugs coming out of my skin.
Cons:
The price for Proactiv overall is high, but I feel it is worth it. I actually like the sulfur smell, but I might have a positive association with it's affects on my acne.
Get it if you can at all afford it! I use it once or twice a week and you only need a small amount. You can also focus it exclusively on your problem areas (i.e., my chin, upper lip and nose). Also, leave it on for more than the 10 minutes it suggests. Really let it dry up.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
There are no pro's,
Cons:
no signs of working after 10 days, the next 20 just made it worse and breaks became even worse.
Dont waste your money, the product barley lasts 30 days, the skin perfecting lotion lasted about 16 days and called costumer service and complained they did nothing, terrible product

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
none for me =(
Cons:
everything! I wanted to cry when I saw my face
My face was worse, just like everybody else >< my skin hurt too! The little lotion... the repairing one? The one in the smallest tube... that was the most evil thing! I was allergic to it,.. probably... the cleaner was safe. It cleaned my face well =D and it felt minty and cool. But whatever! I hate everything else! *returns*

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It actually works - removes makeup, doesn't clog pores, kills bacteria...my acne has gotten better - knock on wood
Cons:
I think I may be building a tolerance
Try it out for a month - at least. Hopefully, you don't build a tolerance, because it would be a miracle wash.
Pros:
It worked the first month
