It works through several complementary mechanisms: it is keratolytic (helps break down and shed the outer layer of dead skin cells that can clog pores), antibacterial (inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria), and sebostatic (helps reduce excess oil production). At 10% concentration — the maximum strength available over the counter — this ointment delivers a powerful, targeted treatment for stubborn pimples and blackheads. Unlike benzoyl peroxide, sulfur is generally less irritating and less likely to bleach fabrics, making it a popular choice for those with sensitive skin or those who have found other acne treatments too harsh. The simple two-ingredient formula — sulfur and polyethylene glycol — means no unnecessary additives, fragrances, or potential irritants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose with acne pimples and blackheads needing a targeted, maximum-strength treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who have found benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid too harsh or irritating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting a simple, no-frills acne spot treatment with minimal ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for a proven, dermatologist-trusted acne ingredient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting to prevent new breakouts from forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSulfur 10% — maximum over-the-counter strength acne medication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePenetrates pores to dry and clear acne pimples and blackheads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps prevent new pimples and blackheads from forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeratolytic — helps shed dead skin cells that clog pores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntibacterial — inhibits acne-causing bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo artificial fragrance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust two ingredients — sulfur 10% and polyethylene glycol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated 6g ointment — a little goes a long way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy De La Cruz — trusted skin care since 1939\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eActive ingredient\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSulfur 10%\u003c\/strong\u003e — Acne Medication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInactive ingredient\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyethylene glycol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanse the skin thoroughly before applying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover the entire affected area with a thin layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeave on for 10 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse off thoroughly with water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart with one application daily — excessive drying may occur if used too frequently at first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGradually increase to 2–3 times daily if needed, or as directed by a doctor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce to once daily or every other day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eImportant warnings — please read before use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor external use only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not use\u003c\/strong\u003e on broken skin or over large areas of the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not get into eyes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing another topical acne medication at the same time or immediately after may increase skin irritation and dryness — if irritation occurs, use only one topical acne medication at a time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply only to areas with acne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop use and consult a doctor if excessive skin irritation develops or increases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children.
