Ingredient N° 30
Sulfur
An old-school blemish ingredient still earning shelf space.
Topical sulfur is used in cleansers, masks and spot treatments for oily, blemish-prone skin. It can help reduce surface oil and loosen scale, though its smell and drying feel make targeted use more comfortable than overuse.
Worth knowing
It can be drying and odorous. Avoid stacking several drying treatments on the same day.
