"I was expecting something similar to the Proactiv formulation, but this is not like it at all. The consistency is totally different, and didn't dry like a traditional mask. Compared to the price of the competitor, and the main ingredient it was a lot cheaper. I didn't want to sign up for any monthly shipping programs or other products that I didn't need...."

"I had suffered acne since the age of 13. My acne is worst that comes and go. I had tried everything-anything that you can think of to help clear my acne but nothing seems to work. I even went to a private skin center that did nothing but take my money for their expensive treatments. I've tried all the informercial products out there that did nothing to my acne but worsen it.
I have done a lot of research and experiment on my own skin, what I have found out is Salicylic acid -- It is mostly found in over the counter products, it is also the active ingredient found in Murad, if your using salicylic acid, you should never combine it with any other clarifying products or toner, otherwise, your acne will get worst. Benyzol Peroxide is a good product that is found in Proactive, which again not for everyone,most especially if you have sensitive skin like me. And the worst part of this product is it bleaches your clothing.
Then, I found out that sulfur in an old traditional way of treating acne. The sulfur actually absorbs into the skin which really helps to soothe the acne over time.
This is how I treated my acne. For the last six months that I have been using it, I have noticed a tremendous difference on my skin.
1. Wash your face with the sulfur soap. (same brand as this and can be found at walgreens store) then, pat dry. (always use a different towel for your face only)
2. Ice your face (yes, ice cubes from your freezer, this is very helpful especially on those big swollen ones) for about 2-3 minutes.
3. I use a toner called "eskinol" but you can also use the "witch hazel in a yellow label, can also be found at walgreens store.
4. Apply a small amount of the pomade (I use all over my face as I have worst acne) NOTE: your face will be itchy and flake as your skin absorbs the sulfur, DO NOT SCRATH IT!) Use an OIL FREE moisturizer for sensitive skin as Eucerin to moisturize you skin (NOTE: your skin will get very dry but it's worth the wait)(you can also use it vice versa depending on how dry skin will get)
5. Once a week I use the Helene Mint mask (green tube)to rejuvenate my skin.
***You will have to do this twice a day, in the morning and before going to bed. Trust me it works as it works for me."

"I've using this product for about 2 months now and I am shocked at how well its working. I've had horrible acne since the age of 12 and now at the age of 20 I finally found somthing that works. I didn't even notice it was working until my aunt who had not seen me in the pass 4 months came to visit and asked what I used on my face to clear it up so fast! The pomade is a little heavy tho, so less is more. Just apply a small, extremely tiny dab to your palm, rub your hands together, and apply it to your face. You might wanna apply a little bit of moisturizer with SPF 15 on top of that for sun protection. I also bought some 10% sulfur soap at walgreens for only [$] 2 weeks ago and this has really helped the old acne scars fade."

"how long do you leave it on??"
"I love this product...I have very bad cystic acne and have used many products...Over the counter and also presrcription products and they didnt seem to work all that much...All i can say is this little tub works wonders...It does have a foul smell and does dry ur skin...But the end results are worth it.This company also makes a bar soap which i use...Along with the sulfur acid paste....It worked out for me and hope it works out 4 u Good luck"
Pros:
Cons:
"I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THE REVIEWS ON HERE. I WAS A LITTLE HESISTANT BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING WORKS ON MY SKIN. BUT I WORK AT [...] AND I SEEN DAT WE SELL IT THERE SO I FIGURED I WOULD TRY IT. I'VE ONLY BEEN USING IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND I'M ALREADY SEEING RESULTS. I WASH MY FACE WITH THE SULFUR SOAP TWICE A DAY AND THEN I PUT ON THE OINTMENT ONLY AT NIGHT & I USE A FACE MOISTURIZER IN THE MORNING. THIS PRODUCT REALLY WORKS ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN SUFFERING WIT ACNE FOR A LONG TIME SHOULD GIVE IT A TRY!!!!!!!!!!"
Pros:
Cons:
"Great! I had Rosacea for long period of time (2 years) and tried other products as Neutrogena (Benzoyl peroxide) for a year but nothing. But with this ointment all gone! No more mites in my face!!"
Pros:
"My dad actually bought me this product, i was a little hesitant at first having used a lot of acne products before i though this was just going to be another one. I had really bad acne and though it would never go away but just days after putting some of the ointment on my face nightly my acne started to disappear and even my acne scars (Hardest to get rid of) started to almost fade away! I'm definitely going to buy this ointment again and again even if my face is clear just in case(; btw the smell ain't too bad either.."
Pros:
Cons:
"how long do you leaveit on?"
"how long do you leave it on?"
"Would u put it on all night or for only 10 min.?plz answer i really need to know"
"I've been using this product for 3 days now. I have three active pimples that I've applied this stuff to. I am noticing an improvement. They are drying up. I am soo happy with this product.
I don't use it all over my face. I only spot treat my problem areas, so I don't suffer from drying out my entire face which others have stated. This stuff is great so far."
Pros:
"For heavier acne problems.
It goes on greasy but absorbs into the skin in about 30 minutes. Dry Skin or Mild skin peeling may appear after a few days."
Pros:
Cons:
"Bought this product about 2 months ago. With the tiny 2.6 oz. I am not even half way through the container. Product works great. Dried up my acne on my face, chest and back. i <3 this product!
However beware of liberally applying it all over the face! I suggest spot treatments so your face does not dry out severely. I use a moisturizer before using this as a spot treatment during the day and at night. My acne usually clears out with in 3 days. Will continue to buy because my skin doesnt seem to be immune to it, which is great!"
Pros:
"how long do you leave it on?"
