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:
Very costly and not worth it
Glycolic Acid (second step) burns
Purging is horrable
Claim of clear skin in four weeks is not true
Murad Acne Complex has a very convincing TV commercial and products that claim that 92% of users have reduction in acne in 3 days and clear skin in 4 weeks. First the kit itself is very expensive and does not tell you all of the instructions listed. The exfoliating gel is very strong and should only be used once a day for two weeks. EVEN with that it still burns and irratates skin (which it claims its not supposed to) I found that the kit only made my acne worse and the purging is not very pleasent to go through. The Salicilic acid tingles and feels ok but the bottom line is that this is a waste of time and money and you should NOT invest in this product.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Haven't seen any after 3.5 weeks of of "by the book" use
Cons:
My breakouts are worse, bigger, deeper and more painful then before I started using the procudct. Created severely dry and scaly patches on my chin and neck.
Just like all the other products I've tried, which is just about everything, this one didn't work for me. It made my skin and acne much worse.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
i honestly cant even think of something good.
Cons:
extremely irritating, gave me all kinds of cysts,and then didnt even clear them up! they say the first 2 weeks you will experience a break out.. and i def did!! i had these little bumps all over my face like brail. plus a million other pimples and cysts. it was awful and painful.
if you have cystic acne , DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT LINE!. while i was using it i was miserable and extremely depressed because of how my face looks. now i have the scars that wont ever go away because it broke me out so bad... its been one week since i switched to the acne.org regimen and my face is free of cystic acne! if only i wouldve figured that out sooner i would have saved myself the damn scars! :(

Pros:
really works
Cons:
if I miss a day, it all comes back
it's too expensive, I'm dealing with it now but I know there will reach a point where I won't pay that much anymore and I'll just quit use

I would highly recommend it if you are willing to stick to the regimen.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
bottle lasts very long time
Cons:
price and smelly?
Works GREAT! I have pretty bad inflammatory acne, so when I put this on a pimple is is greatly reduced if not flat the next morning. I've also noticed that it doesn't really dry my skin out very much in the process either. Basically it's a great spot treatment that I can always rely on.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
Works GREAT! Starts working overnight, wake up to clear skin, works on black heads and white heads, really effective acne remover.
Cons:
Very dry skin, doesn't prevent acne; only diminishes existing acne.
I use Murad Acne complex, neutrogena face wash, and a few more products to prevent my acne, because this stuff won't prevent acne. If somehow some type of acne breaks through this stuff will put it in check, and overnight, too. Try it...

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
Only £10 which is cheap for a product so amazing! Easy to find, in Boots, Superdrug etc.
Cons:
You have to let the content settle before using it. (You cannot shake the bottle).
Okay, so i bought this product, not expecting it to do much, kinda expected it to either dry my skin out or make the blemishes double and look red and sore.
I purchased the product out of desperation, and then came online to read reviews.
Unlike any other products when 50% people say it great and 50% say its rubbish, which is understandable as everyones skin is different. Almost 90% people were saying how amazing this product is.I got home, cleansed, toned and moisturised (even over the blemish areas, to prevent Bye Bye Blemish drying out the skin) and then applied the lotion with a cotton bud. I only applied it to the blemished areas and INSTANTLY it tightened the skin making them less visible and reduced the redness.
Its the morning after now and they are hugely reduced and easy to cover up! I'm so so impressed! its the best product ive ever used. I feel like a weight is lifted as now i dont dread waking up to huge spot! it really is amazing!
Pros:
Smells Good
Cleared Chin Area
Easy to use
