Product used: Grisi (Sulfur Soap With Lanolin For Acne)
Cons:
Clogs Pores
Smell - Not at first, but later on the towel
Hassel to use - leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing
Burns eyes
I purchased this for my 16 year old son because of the good reviews. He used it for 4 weeks and his skin is getting increasingly worse (red rashy bumps). I do think it helped a little with blackheads. We wanted to give it a full 8 weeks, but then I researched lanolin. "Lanolin and its derivatives ranked a four out of five when rated on a five point scale, with ingredients rated five as having the most probability of clogging pores". So, once again, we're on to something new.

Works fast
You can actually doing its magic!
Lasts a long time

Smell, but no big deal!
I've actually wanted to reveiw this item for a while now, but jut never got the chance to. I found to get the best of this product, lather it nicely before applying.. I found if I wash with cool/ cold water it works best. Some people may not like this because of the smell, but hey whatever helps the acne right? :-)

Product used: Peter Thomas Roth (Blemish Buster Kit)
Pros:
AHAs and BHAs
Promote cell turnover
Cons:
Expensive
Way too drying
Made acne worse around chin and jaw
Made face red and flakey
I bought this a year ago hoping it's work for me. The kit together was rubbish! Perhaps if used separately over a long period of time it's work. However, it just was really drying and made my acne around jaw and chin worse. Made my skin look dry and unhealthy and red and chalky and old and awful!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
Face felt fresh after using it.
Cons:
"purging"
I used it for about a month and a half, once a day as it really dried my face. I gave it a chance to work but the "purging" process didn't seem to stop until I just decided to stop using the entire line for acne prone skin. I got more pimples from using it (like it multipled 5x) with some scars. It's horrrible. I haven't reviewed things I bought before but this one I felt I had to. Definitely not worth the effort and money.

Product used: De La Cruz (Sulfur Ointment)
Pros:
cheap
Cons:
Slight smell
Made my moderate acne worse
Itched my skin
I read all these amazing reviews. I thought to myself. Ok, so nothing over the counter has EVER worked for you, but since I know sulfur is drying and then these really good reviews state it is a miracle product, why not give it a go. First day I leave it on for 10 minutes, I wanted to leave it on longer but my skin became horribly itchy, not from dryness but the feeling of a rash. I think I am allergic to sulfur. This caused a lot of those little tiny rash like pimples, I never get those unless a product irritates me. Try it though, if your skin tends to get a long with over the counter products, it will probably work for you. Unfortunately the only thing that helps me is my derm prescriptions.

Product used: DDF (Sulfur Therapeutic Mask)
Pros:
feels great while its on your face, great polished feel after you wash it off with a soft wash cloth!
Cons:
sulfur smell lingers overnight and can still smell it on face in morning... causes redness in tzone for me but I have very sensitive skin!
Overall its a treat to mask yourself and have a glass of wine.. if you can still open your mouth by finish time... great tight mask! Oh and I bought it at TJ maxx for $13!

Product used: Murad (Acne Complex)
Pros:
CAN clear skin ( although that doesn't necessarily mean it will for you )
moisturizer leaves skin feeling nice and soft!
Cons:
I hate how the bottles are made, the stuff just oozes out
CANNOT clear skin ( it depends on the person i guess)
so i have been using this product for about 2 months, i would use it morning and night. my acne is probably considered to be moderate. This product really didn't help me, but i didnt have an awful experience with it like some people on this site have. It made me a little bit more red, but it did not sting and it did not make my face worse. The problem is it didn't really make my face any better, in the places where i didnt have acne or where i would get acne every once in a while i stopped getting pimples, but in the problem areas there was no change. so i would only recommend this product if you have light acne ( although im sure there is something cheaper you can buy to treat light acne).
Pros:
Low Price
