Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Antiseborrhoeic, Skin Conditioning

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 used it as a spot treatment. It dries up pimples but leaves an oily residue both on the face and my pillow. I also don't like its weird scent. Still a great value for what it does.

Be careful with this if you have really sensitive skin. My skin is very reactive and highly sensitive. I have acne prone skin and this irritated my skin really bad

Cured my fungal acne and prevents flare ups! Nizoral was way too harsh for my skin. I used this 10 min every single day for 3 weeks. I had no barrier issues because I followed it up with a raw manuka honey mask (umf 20+) right after for 1-3 hours. The manuka honey helps so much with the drying side effects of sulfur. It also helps treat FA/acne because it has antifungal, antibacterial, and Show more
