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)
Murad ruined my skin.
Cons:
Spot treatment smells gross and stings. The moisturizer is a little greasy. I would have to powder or remove the grease.
Made me break out and scar horridly. Every single day.
Expensive. With small bottles.
I've always had a problem with acne. Been battling it since I was about 12 years old. And after trying everything, I thought I would give murad a shot. I tried it out for about 6 months. I went from breaking out maybe 2 or 3 times a week to breaking out every day. My jawline and cheeks were the worst. And my jawline started to scar horridly. These products were also very expensive. It's really not worth your trouble.

Product used: Grisi (Sulfur Soap With Lanolin For Acne)
Not for me
Pros:
Cheap
Cons:
Made skin very dry
Caused break outs
I've been struggling with acne for years now, and in the past I used a sulfur regimen that helped but made my skin dry and flaky. Now that I have a good moisturizer I decided to give sulfur another go, but unfortunately this made my acne worse. My skin became very dry even with moisturizer and my face broke out horribly. My mom even told me to quit using whatever I had been using because my skin looked so bad. I gave it two months and then quit. It was very cheap though and the bar lasts a long time.

upset
Cons:
did not work
causes skin to burn
blah
I bought the kit about five weeks ago. I noticed results right away after using for the first few weeks....then out of the blue I began to break out in places where I usually never break out.
I have a mild case of acne, and this did not do anything. I am overall upset with this, I think I had better skin when I was using any random brand found at the store. I used to use Olay's acne kit, and it worked WONDERS for my skin, but then they discontinued it...
I thought Murad would work, sadly it has not.

Product used: Grisi (Sulfur Soap With Lanolin For Acne)
Pros:
Fast acting
It smells good for me :D
Skin instantly feels like you had a face lift
Lathers Up easily
Controls oil
Cons:
Burns eyes
Drying
I've been using this for about a week or two and hopefully it'll clear up my acne I've seen results and it has gotten rid of my major hurtful breakouts very quickly. What I don't like is that it always gets in my eyes and stings badly. Some people don't like the smell but I like it, it smells clean.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
smells nice
Cons:
more break out, oily, no results!
The worst product so far I tried.
Does not work, they rip you off and then charge your credit card fir refills! Strongly recommend any other product. The worst customer service, and money hungry company, Please avoid all together Murad! I wish I did research before wasting my money and time on a wasteful product. I recommend Proactive....

Product used: KAVI (Coral KAVI)
Pros:
Doesn't irritate skin
Cons:
Doesn't help reduce acne breakouts
I have acne. And, like most of us, I hate it. My acne is moderate/ severe, I have about 30 small bumps on my face at all times and probably 3-5 large bumps at any given moment. The bumps heal and new ones sprout up when they are almost gone - so frustrating. I have been using acne.org for about 2 years now and this is really the first time I've been compelled to write a review. I first heard about KAVI through acne.org, and because of the great ratings I decided to invest the money and purchased the Coral Kavi bars ($18) and the Salycic Acid Peel 8 (about $40) from the Kavi website. I used these products consistently - the bar twice a day and the peel once a week (some weeks I would try twice when I noticed no results) but still, no noticeable results in clearing my acne. After about 2 months I asked the Kavi forum if I should be seeing results by now, and they suggested I add the Kavi Organic Sulfur Suspension to my routine (about $25), so I did, Now about 6 months later I am giving up. I really not have seen any improvement in my skin whatsoever and have spent alot of money in the process. I will say that it did not have a negative impact on my skin, but I am now looking yet again for a product that will work for me. My suggestion would be to give it a try, but keep in mind this will not work for everyone.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
NONE
Cons:
-DOESNT WORK AT ALL
-MY SKIN NEVER ONCE IMPROVED SINCE THE DAY I STARTED USING IT
-PEOPLE WHO ANSWER PHONES NEED LESSONS IN PEOPLE SKILLS (HORRIBLE AT COMMUNICATING)
-PEOPLE WHO SHIP OUT ORDERS NEED GLASSES TO GET ORDERS CORRECT
Dont waste your money on this rediculous product; it didnt work at all in the 6 months that I used it PLUS the people who answer the phones need an attitude check because they are incredibly rude, "Katie" specifically who is supposed to be one of the managers.
They sent me orders that I never ordered and charged my debit card, then they tell me to refuse the package and I still have not recieved my refund. I would NEVER recommend this product to anyone because the product does not work and because the service is rediculous.

Product used: Dermify (All-In-One Acne Solution)
Pros:
Works very well! Smooths out skin tone, balances oil, reduces redness, eliminates breakouts. Great all-in-one solution
Cons:
sulfur smell! lingers lightly throughout the day....though I think i'm the only one who can detect it.
don't ship to canada!
Highly recommended...have tried everything, including antibiotics. This cleared up my mild (but persistent) acne FAST....like within the week. I just followed the instructions, washed twice a day, a mask 3 times a week, and spot treatment when needed. If you've tried everything, give this all natural solution a shot.
Pros:
Cleanser feels and smells nice.
