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).

Little stinky, but not bad. Not even bad enough to call it a con.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
This stuff works better than anything over the counter I have tried and believe me I have tried everything. I saw results within two nights when I first bought it. It was great.
Cons:
Can only be used for spot treatment and it smells a little funny. Also you can't put it under foundation.
This stuff WORKS and it doesn't feel like your face is burning off like most acne treatments. It's great for light to moderate acne, but I'm sure it would make a dent in severe acne as well. If you have dry skin like me, but still want to use this product to clear your face, I will tell you my regimen. At night first I use an exfoliating scrub like St. Ives Apricot without any medicine in it. Then I use Noxema cream cleanser. This will get off the dry skin and prevent breakouts. Then I put on an oil free moisturizer. Then I use the recommended cue tip to apply the byebye blemish to any spots that are broken out or look like they're breaking out. In the morning I exfoliate, moisturize, and usually put on makeup but I don't use byebye blemish. The night is all you need and unfortunately you can't put it under makeup. It has worked so well and I'm really happy about my new skin. Good luck! BTW get Lancome's new liquid foundation (and brush) and powder. Beautiful and no break outs so far.

the cost(34 dollars for me) but there's a whole lot in the jar so it'll last forever lol

It smells like a firepit. It is soo stinky that even after I washed my face I still smelled it.

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
Clears my stubborn zits. Crazy as this sounds, this stuff clears light moles, if u use this product consistentyly on the mole.
Cons:
pricey item at my local grocery store
I have oily skin so i didn't get any bad reaction using the product. It cleared my whitehead type acne really quick by shrinking the infected area. It also cleared 2 moles on my neck, which were small ones. I applied on the mole for 2 months at night everyday, and it dissapeared. Amazing product :)

Product used: Bye Bye Blemish (Drying Lotion)
Pros:
Excellent product. Dries those zits right up before they have a chance to peak.
Cons:
None for me.
Better than any topical RX doctor's had given in the past. Plus, if you do a spot treatment during the day, you can blend it nicely on your skin after it dries. If you skin is dry, apply and oil free moisturizer first.
Pros:
works fast! Its keeping my skin clear, and soft. I just use it on my chin as thats where i break out,.I get huge cysts, but using this i just get small little pimples that clear quickly. For me, it works better than RX meds.
