What the community says
A 10% sulfur spot treatment powder that converts to cream and is known for shrinking pimples overnight, especially effective on deep cystic acne but can feel awkward to use and isn't miracle-level for everyone.
What people love
- Effective on deep cystic acne and shrinks bumps fast
- Gentle enough for sensitive skin flare-ups compared to harsher spot treatments
- Minimal dryness compared to benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid alternatives
Watch out for
- Powder format can feel weird and wastes product if not used carefully
- Some users find it only somewhat helpful rather than drastically clearing acne
- May cause redness or irritation, especially for dry or sensitive skin
