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:
With my already oily skin, the cleanser actually seems to make it worse, and I never felt that my skin was actually clean. The treatment gel was a bit of a mess, it was kind of sticky and it felt like it was burning my skin. My face broke out badly.
It didn't seem like a bad choice when I began using it. My face would get small breakouts, but nothing to be ashamed of. I mainly wanted to try this because you were guarenteed clear skin in 4 weeks. To me, that sounded like quite a good deal ..and I figured since I only got 3-4 small zits, I'd get clear skin super fast. Well, it was the opposite. It broke out my skin, however, I kept using it ..just for the hope that it'd work. My skin actually improved for awhile but then it seemed like it didn't work anymore. I'm done with it, it's not worth even $10.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
It dramatically reduces redness caused by acne and other topical products.
Cons:
Price.
You can buy it in local malls, at booths. You can either buy it with the three step solution, or in a huge bottle alone. It is cheaper than orderng it over the hone or internet. It works, but you'll only know if you try it.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Comes in a bucket
Cons:
doesn't work
Made me break out worse during my months usage of it. The only upside was that the redness in my face was less than when I was using duac. However, when I was using duac I wasn't moisturizing or using a gentle cleanser, so there were other variables at work.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
I noticed a reduction in the large pimples, and the overall quantity of acne on my face
Cons:
Expensive, especially once you buy more than the tester kit. If you aren't diligent about using this twice a day (because maybe you get a little lazy like I did) then it simply won't work and you won't see any results
I've used proactive, i've used neutrogena and now I use Murad. Bottom line I found is Murad works the best for me, but I really have to eat healthy, no fried food, because a skincare product can only do so much, the rest of the acne comes from whats on the inside.
Pros:
Doesn't have a foul smell. Did improve my skin for a month or so, but then just seemed to stop working.
