I've been struggling with acne and rosacea for a while now, and my dermatologist recommended Sumaxin Pads. They contain sulfur and sulfacetamide, which are supposed to help dry out blemishes and reduce bacteria on the skin. I'm a bit hesitant because of the potential side effects, especially the rare but severe ones. Has anyone else used these pads? How effective were they, and did you experience any side effects? I'd love to hear your experiences before I start using them.

I had to stop using them because of the itching. It was unbearable. Might be worth trying if you're desperate, but be prepared to deal with some discomfort.

Sumaxin Pads worked wonders for my acne-prone skin. I haven't had a breakout in weeks! Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I've used Sumaxin Pads for a few weeks now, and they've been a game-changer for my rosacea! My skin is much calmer, and the redness has reduced significantly. No side effects so far, but I'm keeping an eye out.

I had a bad reaction to the sulfur in them. My skin got super dry and started peeling. I had to stop using them. Maybe it's worth it to try it and be safe?

I tried them and didn't see much of a difference. My skin was a bit irritated, so I stopped using them. Might not be worth the risk for everyone.

I noticed some dryness, but it was manageable. My acne improved, so I'm sticking with them for now. Just remember to patch test first!

I've been using them for my acne, and they've helped a lot. My blemishes are drying out, and new ones aren't popping up as much. Just make sure to moisturize afterwards.
