De La Cruz 10% Sulfur Ointment - Cystic Acne Treatment for Face and Body - Daily 10 Min Spot Treatment Mask - Safe and Effective Game Changing Hormonal Acne Treatment That Clears Up Pimples - 2.6 oz

First I will give you some background about me and my acne case. I've been dealing with acne of varying degrees for almost 30 years now. I've had, on my face/chest/back, and continue to have, moderate acne, mild nodular acne, aggressive acne due to prednisone use, and blackheads of all types. I've tried tons of products, both over the counter and prescription including Accutane, minocin, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, Retin-A Micro, Differin, and plenty of others. I've spent thousands of dollars over the years with (besides Accutane which had horrible side effects) no great relief from acne.About 14 months ago, after a health issue, I had to use a prednisone steroid which worsened my acne condition and caused me to seek out something that I've never tried because I was really desperate for help! I came across DeLa Cruz Sulfur Ointment on Amazon and started reading the rave reviews and comments. I figured, what could I lose at this price? Well I have to say this is the VERY BEST acne product that I have EVER used in 30 years! Of course nothing will block ALL acne pimples or blackheads and I have one or two show up on occasion, but with daily use, this product: 1. clears my acne problem 2. quickly heals and exfoliates the skin 3. clears dark marks and scars 200% better than any of those high priced "dark spot correctors" 4. does not excessively over dry the skin 5. does not stain bedding or clothing. Pretty miraculous!! Also, this product is NOT sticky at all. I'd say it has the consistency of thin Vaseline mixed with a very fine grained sand. It adds no oiliness to your skin though, and washes completely clean with water. Whatever is left over in the skin is doing its job to clear your acne problem.My regimen: I have been using this product for around 14 months. When I first began to use this I spread a very light coating of it all over my face and neck area for 15-20 minutes at night and again in the morning, washing it off with just warm water. For the first 5-10 days I used it, my skin would feel warm/irritated/itchy before rinsing it off. Your skin will build a tolerance for the product over time so it's important to be patient, stick with it, start slow, and work your way up to leaving it on for longer periods. That irritating feeling has gone away completely for me, and I'm able to leave it on without any irritation now. After using it twice daily for about 3 months, I began to only use it once daily in the morning for 15-30 minutes, with the same great effects. After rinsing it off I use a daily face moisturizer to avoid excess dryness (Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle sensitive skin crème). The sulfur ointment can be applied directly to existing pimples to treat them and quickly dry them up. It can also be mixed with moisturizer easily (in an amount about 4:1 moisturizer to sulfur ointment), to use on the face or areas all day. My experience has been, if it's used daily it will work wonderfully. At this point I am able to use it overnight at full strength on any existing pimples with no redness or irritation to my skin.In my experience, this product will dry existing pimples, bring underlying pimples to a head, stop pimple production, help exfoliate the skin, lighten dark marks and scars, and make the skin clear and evenly toned. I have noticed this comes in a scented variation also. Both the scented and non-scented have worked exactly the same. The scent has not bothered my skin at all. My advice would be, start slow, test your boundaries, use daily, moisturize, DO NOT get it near your eyes, and tell your friends and family. This product is not available anywhere in stores in my area. No one I know has ever heard of this product. In my opinion it should be on shelves in every store selling skin care products (in the actual acne section and not in the "ethnic" section which makes no sense at all).

Love it. Totally gets rid of my little sebum blackheads on my house and cheeks. Don’t overuse it till dry you out. But. Super happy especially for the price.

This ointment is very strong and it has a strong sulfur smell. I had an issue with uneven skin tone on my face and I’ve seen a noticeable difference after just three days. After the fungus dies, your skin starts to flake and peel. The cellular turnover begins and you have an even skin tone after about 2 weeks.

This stuff stinks. Like truly old-school medicated cream smell. But if you can get past that, it seriously works. I had a couple stubborn breakouts and this dried them out fast without making my skin peel or flake.It goes on thick but blends in okay once it sets. I use it at night mostly, and by morning my spots are way less red and almost flat. A little goes a long way too, so even though it comes in a small tub, it lasts.Super cheap, way better than overpriced spot treatments that barely do anything. The smell is bad but the results are worth it.

This product worked really well within a few weeks. The photos were taken 3/7, 3/17, and 3/27. I used the product daily for 2 weeks and then as needed.

Okay, despite the bad reviews mixed in, I wanted to give this stuff a shot. Sulfur is really good for dealing with breakouts, and I was hoping that maybe this would be a step up from the mask I use.After very long debate, I ordered this and it arrived just in time to be tested at the tail end of my... hormonal time of the month. I had one large pimple, and this was effective at drying it out. The rest is pretty bad.When I applied it to the pimple, I also applied it to the area surrounding it. It shrank the size of the pimple I had, but cause a PAINFUL red lump under the skin next to it. I also applied this to a tiny white head in a different location. In theory it was so small I could have just scratched off with my nail if I were so inclined. Very tiny. It, too, turned very red, very painful, and inflamed to more than twice the original size!This can't be. I applied more to the red lump it caused, just to see, trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, and it went down. At that point, I'm kind of like... well maybe I shouldn't give up just yet. Some days later, I applied it just to an area prone to clogged pores. (Oh, I'm a daredevil.) Yet again, I ended up with a large, painful red lump under my skin. Only this time, the sulfur ointment did nothing to decrease the size, but instead made it bigger when I used it again!I'm glad that some people have found this useful, but it's a bust for me. I was skeptical with this being in grease form, but took the risk. Now I know I wasn't missing anything good! If you do try this, the grittiness isn't *that* bad. It's sort of like A&D ointment with a little baking soda mixed in as far as texture is concerned. I also wouldn't recommend smearing this over large areas of skin until you know if you can tolerate it. The smell wasn't too bad. If you're used to cleaning silver with a vinegar and baking soda solution, it's no where near that strong in odor. The scent is tolerable, and even though it's a small container, you don't need to use much of it for spot treatments.For me, personally, the terrible side effects outweigh the minimal usefulness.
