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: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
Worked very well to remove bad breakouts on oily skin
Cons:
It's expensive for the small amount you get. And even though my face is excessively oily, my skin was severely dried out the first few times; neutrogena spf 15 skin moisturizer fixed that though.
Try it. I first bought the 1 oz. over the phone for 5.95 (w/ shipping and handling it'll cost you a total of about $12). Worked pretty good for me. Skin feels soft and the redness of my breakouts is reduced.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
It came with a beautiful set and it makes you believe it works. The Hydrate set was wonderful.
Cons:
The whole product sucked. The only thing that was good was the hydrate set
It brought out achne and I thought itw as going to clear up. But it never worked and I had to use neutrogena oil free achne wash instead. Which helped clear it up.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Face felt clean after using the face wash
Cons:
Product did not work. Exfoliating treatment gel smelled bad and was hard to dispense. Kit is costly
I used proactiv solutions for 2 years and saw results from the product until my skin became immune to it. I decided to try Murad's Ance Complex and have not seen any results. The spot sulfur treatment causes your makeup to clump on your skin.I am fixing to send the kit, toner and post ance lightning gel back. Don't waste your money on this.

Product used: Proactiv Solution (Refining Mask)
Pros:
It's really great for overnight use (spot treatments) it is also a fun thing to use as a mask, just add a little cucumbers to the eyes and voila! =]
Cons:
Smells a little sulfuric (it has sulfur in it) but it really isn't a big deal because it washes away with a washcloth.
It's a really good product to have. A+

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
I used Proactiv for a long time and it just wasn't a miracle like most were saying so I got restless and used Murad due to it's natural philosophies. I've been using it for a while and it's more gentle and calming.
Cons:
I'm not CLEAR. I understood that my skin would PURGE before it got better. After a month and a half I called them and asked how long I should expect this. They said it could last up to 2 months. I just feel there's something better.
It was better than Proactiv but, unfortunately, not a Godsend.

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Good smell to the cleanser and enjoy the lotion. You'd almost think it'd work.
Cons:
Makes acne worse! "purging" process starts and doesn't stop.
Please don't use buy the product. It will irritate the skin and cause acne problems to grow. I didn't get small red bumps, but instead large inflated red pimples where I normally don't break out. Sometimes I'd even get puss, which hardly ever happens to me, and blackheads look more pronounced. Warning: Redness and scarring left afterwards.
