Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Sulfur is a commonly occurring element on Earth (and our universe!). In cosmetics, it helps kill bacteria, reduces sebum, and provides exfoliation. This makes it an effective ingredient to reduce breakouts and fight acne.
As a ketayolytic agent, it breaks down the top layer of skin. This is a form of exfoliation and may help decrease acne and hyperpigmentation.
Studies show sulfur has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Sulfur can be drying if used excessively or at higher concentrations. We recommend speaking with a medical professional if you have any concerns.
Ancient Greece, India, China, and Egypt have used sulfur in both traditional medicines and for household use.

I've only used this a handful of times & will update my review accordingly.
I can't tell if this actually helped clear my Fungal Acne breakout or not. I feel like it helped initially, but as I continued usage i notice small comodones all over my face that looked like fungal acne but in places I've never had fungal acne before. I think maybe I was using it too often as a preventative, and should Show more
Too drying for me.
