Pros

  • For general tx and prevention, apply something like Avene Comedomed Peeling lotion w/ Retrinal and Glycolic acid, or Paula's Choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant, or OTC adapalene lotion, De La Cruz 10% sulfur ointment, Medicube's 16% Azelaic...
  • There are sulfur cleansers but I think the most popular product is De La Cruz 10% sulfur ointment. It helps shrink deep painful cysts literally overnight.
  • You could give De La Cruz sulfur a try every day for 1 week and see if it helps. You'll only be out $8 if it doesn't.
  • I haven't noticed a smell after, but honestly I could see that; I take long showers with lots of products, plus all the massaging it in with water seems to have an exfoliation effect, so maybe those factors leave me with minimal scent left.
  • De la Cruz 10% sulfur ointment

Cons

  • I rinsed my face, put it on acne spots (thin layer but maybe half my face) for ten mins, used face wash and then toner. Is that the right order?
  • Give it more time, 3 days is not long enough to judge if it’s working
  • that stuff can be pretty drying.
  • yeah the smell definitely lingers for a bit even after washing - I usually do a double cleanse when I use sulfur treatments just to be safe
  • I've been applying a thin layer to all affected areas and leaving it (10 minutes initially, 30 minutes recently) for 3 days now and I'm seeing very little progress.

Have you tried leaving it on overnight? I know it's messy but that's when sulfur really does its thing - the longer contact time makes a huge difference compared to short treatments
