What is sulfur and how does it treat acne?

Sulfur is one of the oldest and most well-established acne treatments available — used in dermatology for over a century. 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, parabens, or potential irritants. The 73.7g tube is ideal for ongoing use on face and body.
