10% Sulfur Ointment, Cystic Acne Treatment Face, Body 2.6oz tube

I wasn't completely sure what to expect from a sulfur acne treatment, but I have been pleasantly surprised by this. The consistency is a little different from the typical acne creams I have used, but it spreads easily and you really don't need a huge amount. I use a thin layer on the areas where I tend to break out and leave it on for about 10 minutes before washing it off. It rinses away pretty easily and doesn't leave my skin feeling coated afterward. I like that this is something I can use as a short treatment rather than having it sitting on my face all night. There is definitely a sulfur smell. I wouldn't call it horrible, but you know it's there, and I think that is worth mentioning. It doesn't bother me enough to stop using it, especially because I'm washing the product off after a few minutes anyway. I also wouldn't go crazy with the amount or use it more frequently than necessary. It can leave my skin feeling a little dry, especially around areas that are already dry to begin with. I have had a much better experience using a thin layer and following it with my regular moisturizer. What I like most is how simple the formula and routine are. This isn't a fancy skincare product with elaborate packaging or a dozen promises. It is a straightforward 10% sulfur acne treatment that is easy to work into my routine. The container also lasts quite a while because I don't need much for each application. Overall, I've been very happy with it. The sulfur smell and potential dryness are worth knowing about before buying, but neither has been a dealbreaker for me. I like having this on hand when my skin is breaking out, and I would definitely purchase it again.

I never review things, I am not a bot, not paid to do this. I am a 36 year old male, dealing with acne since I was 14. I noticed there weren't many male reviews, so hopefully this helps someone. I have tried so many things over the years, and lately my acne has been acting up more than usual. The only thing I haven't tried is Accutane. I bought this on accident lol... Within one day I noticed I woke up without any new acne on my face, that is extremely rare. I have been using it twice a day, everyday, for the past 5 days. So far no new acne has appeared and the acne that I did have seemed to be disappearing at 100x the normal rate. I am not an optimistic person, I still expect this to fail by default, but I can not argue with results. Why I think it may work : it has side effects. I have never seen a miracle, so the fact that it had noticeable side effects IS A GOOD THING. It has a medium strength sulfur smell(like rotten eggs) and it does dry out the skin. But if you are a real person, you know every acne medication that works or does not will give you dry skin. The dry skin is no more than any other strong acne medication. If you want to solve your acne, you will deal with dry skin and have to find solutions. I will not deduct a star because the sulfur smell. Obviously it was going to smell like what it is. But I am working on finding solutions to lessen the smell. One main thing is that it will cling to towels, clothes, pillowsheets. I am going to try and use paper towels to dry my face and specific sleeping clothes that will smell a little. I have grown past being embarrassed by acne, at this point it is about the time dealing with it and the pain of each new gnarly breakout. The smell isn't that bad to me after a few days and I think I will find solutions for that. I will update this as time goes on, I still think it will stop working soon. But maybe because the trade off of the smell it will actually work. I may not even have to use it 2x a day, everyday. But even that is barely any time at all compared to other things I have tried. How has no doctor ever mentioned this to me? Never explained that the acne may be fungal related? I do not know. All I know right now is that this is working and working immediately. Will hope for the best and update. Worth a try if you have gone through the ringer with acne. Good luck all.

This works great. I can definitely feel how well it exfoliates but it does smell bad

I kept having tiny white heads pop up on my chin, upper lip, as well as a rash under my eyelids. I had no idea what it was and how to get rid of it till I saw a video of someone talking about her perioral dermatitis which sounded exactly what I had. She said she uses this specific product on her face, even sleeps with it on and it takes care of her flare ups. I bought it and no joke it went away after using it 2-3 times. This is the holy grail if you have Perioral dermatitis!! I bought it almost a year ago and it’s just under half empty.

As someone who struggles with sweat-triggered acne, this has been my holy grail. I get fungal acne (or at least fungal acne-like flare-ups) almost every time I do an intense workout. I've tried hypochlorous acid and washing my face immediately after working out, but I would still end up breaking out. I started using this about a month ago on alternate days, and it has helped calm my skin down so much. I can't stress enough how much I love it. It does have a smell, and it bothered me at first, but it's nothing compared to dealing with painful breakouts. I use it exactly as directed: leave it on for 10 minutes, then wash it off. Sometimes I also use it as a spot treatment, but again, only for about 10 minutes. For reference, I have oily, acne-prone, but dehydrated skin.

The sulfur works wonders for me but unfortunately this product is basically Vaseline mixed with sulfur. For no reason they've just mixed it into the most sticky unwashable "lotion" you can imagine, I think it literally is Vaseline. Bad choice.

I’ve had PD for years and years. Have been prescribed just about everything under the sun by 3 different derms who just seemed to want to get me in and out the door as quickly as possible. I had it mostly managed with a 15% Korean azelaic acid serum and same brand of B5 (cos the baha… no longer available in US but can still order from Stylevana or JOLSE, TG). Anyway I had a recent pretty bad flare (not sure what caused it), but my usual duo weren’t pulling their weight. I also noticed increased itching at the back/nape of my neck and my hair around my ears. I went down the Reddit rabbit hole for a few hours and realized that I might have been suffering from some kind of yeast overgrowth and found a few posts by people that had effectively treated PD with sulfur (they had been diagnosed with PD but further derm testing showed yeast overgrowth). I thought, well, that’s one fn thing I have NOT tried yet. Holy crap I am SO GLAD I bought this. First things first- I assumed since people said it was drying that I was going to put it on and feel immediate burning/tingling where my redness/dryness is (chin fold, side of chin under corners of mouth, nose creases and further out on lower cheeks above my nasolabial). About 99% of products I try BURN on those areas. This DID NOT. Not even a little. In fact, it felt super soothing and I saw the redness go down in real fn time. Second, for whatever reason- despite having combo skin I then expected this would be super drying. After the first use, I noticed no additional dryness or any tightness whatsoever so I ignored the instructions to start with once a day and have been using this 3 times a day for the past 3 days. My skin isn’t dry at all. In fact those pesky dry patches are GONE. My skin is waaaay less red. Like everywhere less red. Seems to have eradicated my rosacea symptoms too. I had all these little tiny flesh toned bumps along my forehead (hairline), my temple area and near my ears too. They’ve always been there but never really noticed them or paid them mind since the PD was always so angry and my focus. Well, they’re freaking gone. Just gone. My skin has literally never looked clearer or felt LESS dry. What kind of sorcery is this?! Seriously. I’ve been dealing this this crap for over ten years and all I needed was this gooey $9 bottle?! My PD is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. I cannot wait to see if this knocks it out completely. I seemed to have to be able to treat the left side of my face (a couple years ago) but my right side hung on. FINGERS crossed. I’m taking a before pick right now and hope to update this review in a few days with both pics. *** 1 week update! Ok, so.. the three times a day WAS too much after all. I had so symptoms but then overnight my barrier was destroyed (only where I have perioral dermatitis- rest of the skin was totally fine). I gave my skin 3 days to recover and now only using it ONCE a day per the instructions and leaving it on 5 min instead of 10. I still love the product and it’s helped clear my skin tremendously and manage redness- but don’t be fooled. It’s a strong active and PD is a barrier dysfunction disorder so have to be careful there. My skin is still 20x better from using once a day for shorter bursts so I’m still very happy I found this.

I have rosacea. I need to have some testing done soon that requires me to stop taking the daily oral antibiotic that controls my rosacea. Predictably I am having a flare and I am breaking out. So far, this is helping keep the problem stay under control. It's stinky, but it's effective at reducing the inflammation and acne associated with this condition. The cream is light and seems to penetrate well.
