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).

Cons:
This horrible product SEVERELY damaged my skin after promising results. THe gel burned my skin and left behind tons of scars. A customer service agent said that 4 weeks of purging is normal, not!!!
DO NOT TRY THIS PRODUCT, IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
The product does a great job of drying out my pimples. and it works really well on those big hard to get rid of welps. I really like the smell..haha.
Cons:
The package is too small. They send too much of the other products, and they dont send enough of the refining mask.
i think this product works better than the other proactive steps combined. i don't even use the repairing lotion it made my skin oily.

Product used: Nelsons (Pure & Clear Acne Treatment Gel)
Pros:
calming, natural ingredients, great for chest and back, totally affordable!
Cons:
isn't an exfolient like salicylic or other medications, can bead up if applied too thickly
I got this from a local health food store for small bumps on my chest and it worked so well I started using it on my face. I was worried it may over dry my skin but it hasn't so far. I apply a light film and then use light moisturizer. I love the smell, some may think it too medicinal but I like that. It has Arnica, Calendula, Hypericum, Sulfur and Tea tree.

Pros:
What flipping pros.
Cons:
For a start it doesnt work
After reading a ton of great reviews i fought this product coundnt fail.But i guess it true that 90% of the reviews on this site for this product are from the company that produce this product and just trying to promote their item they dont care about you they just care about making money.I used it stuff every night for 3 weeks and seriouly no change at all the only magic trick this item preformed was making £20 or $40 disapear out of my wallet.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Left a clean feeling..
Cons:
Made my acne 10x worse!
I got this product because the girl at Sephora said it would help clear my moderate acne and that it was extremely gentle. Boy, was she wrong!! My face has never been this bad. I usually only have 1 or 2 noticeable pimples, plus a few smaller ones on my forehead. At this time, I have 5 huge ones in places I NEVER break out... plus my whole face is covered in small bumps, almost like a rash. Luckily, Sephora is letting me return this crap and get my money back! Don't use this product, you'll regret it!! I wish I read these reviews before buying it!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
The packaging it arrived in.
Cons:
Everything else.
It made me way worse. Cystic acne began to pop up all over my face. I'm faired skinned so it scar even though I didn't pop my pimples. They say it gets worse before getting better (Plurging Process), it's a scam.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Didn't irritate or dry my skin
Cons:
Nothing so far, expensive
This is the only thing that has ever worked for my skin! I'm really surprised. My boyfriend has even started complimenting my skin... and that's a great feeling!
Proactive, Clearasil... those did nothing but irritate and make my acne worse. I'm pretty happy with Murad... unlike a lot of the people on here. I like it. It must work for some people and not others?
Pros:
There aren't any!!!!!
