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)
Pros:
My acne cleared up a little bit in the first few days.
The clay mask is easy to apply and the lotion is nice.
Cons:
-My acne came back and is still here after almost a month - I have never had this many white-heads in my LIFE!
-The second step's bottle is as hard as a rock (how do I get stuff out?
-IT BURNS!! OH GOD IT BURNS!! ICE, WATER, ANYTHING - MAKE IT STOP!!
Don't get it - you would be better off buying a bag of raw bacon and rubbing THAT on your face than getting this crap - at least bacon won't BURN. Seriously, you don't even know how much this stuff burns. Oh, it's not so bad for the first few days, but it builds, and builds, and BUILDS, until you're eyes are streaming with tears from the pain and you need to wash the stuff off again. I don't even CARE if this stuff works - nothing should hurt this much. Also, this stuff causes immortal white-heads. They would come onto my face for a visit, then invite friends, until a whole colony had made themselves a very painful home on my upper lip. I got sick of it, and tried to pop them - BIG MISTAKE. They GREW BACK the next day, bigger than ever, except now they were crusty. I haven't been able to shave for 2 weeks now, and I am afraid to talk to people face to face. I have used all of these ingredients before, and NEVER had this awful of a reaction.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
works quickly, night treatment, decent price, not a system-can be used with any other products you currently have
Cons:
a bit smelly (when used at night this doesn't really matter though), the clear liquid runs out faster than the pink liquid, can be drying
I really like using BBB on my stubborn spots at night. It helps deep acne to not be as painful and heal more quickly. The product is a bit of a quick fix as it can only help acne once it occurs, but it works pretty well. I have dry skin to begin with so I make sure I apply a bit of extra moisturizer to the blemishes I use BBB on.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Nice glow
Deep cleaning
Cons:
Can make acne worse
Burrns and itches sometimes
I used to have pretty bad cystic acne, bad enough to tturn heads and people would ask what was wrong with me. I saw murad on tv and gave it a try and it worked! Used it for about four years and loved it. Couldn't afford it anymore so I stoped using it for 8 months until I started to break out just recently. This time it only worked for the first week then stoped! I seriously think they changed the formula...murad used to put a piece of paper in the box that would state each product name and the ingritients in it. Well they don't do it anymore so somethings up! I still like the acne complex face wash and lotion but that it.

Pros:
Doesn't bleach my clothes, towels, or sheets.
Pore size reduced. Only thing that has worked for me.

Price
I recommend at least trying it for a few weeks. I bought the trial kit at Sephora. If your face gets too dry then cut back on the gel.
