De La Cruz 10 Sulfur Ointment - Cystic Acne Treatment for Face and Body - Daily 10 Min

Highly recommended for per oral dermatitis! I used a very thin layer all over my face being careful not to get too close to my mouth or eye lids. I left it on as a mask for 10 minutes each time and rinsed thoroughly following with a very simple moisturizer (Cerave). It doesn’t smell as bad as other reviewers commented and after two uses I noticed a reduction in redness and bumps. I would definitely give this a try. It’s cheaper than a doctors visit. Definitely dried out my skin though so I would always follow with a lightweight bland moisturizer. Read more

I never struggled with acne in general, let alone cystic acne, until my 20s and it seemed like anything I tried made my skin worse. This was my last resort before seeing a dermatologist (which I was really trying to avoid because of the expense) and I am so glad I gave it a try. Within just a couple days I noticed less new breakouts, and after a couple weeks of use I am SO happy with how my skin looks. Obviously new breakouts will still pop up every now and then, but they are fewer and far between and heal much quicker while using this product. I have very dry skin, and as long as I pair this product with a good moisturizer it hasn’t made the dryness any worse. It does have the unpleasant sulfur-y smell, but I’m able to get over that for what it does for my skin. Read more

This worked amazing after just 1 use. Left it on for about 20-30 minutes on my perioral dermatitis. Ive been using metronidazole mixed with tacrolimus but it wasn't really clearing it. I read someone who recommended sulfur to help with PD and found this when searching reviews. So worth the purchase price. Yes it smells awful but its tolerable for 20 minutes. Especially with how quickly it works. It is drying so I used a calming moisturizer after I rinsed it off that also has tea tree in to keep redness at bay. So glad I found this. Would highly recommend. Just FYI my PD is very Mild (for now) but id try it regardless of how extreme yours is. Read more

I have reoccurring perioral dermatitis and this stuff actually makes a difference! I've tried it all and after just one week of use, there is a noticeable improvement to my skin. The cream itself is nice, and easy to apply and cleans off easily with soap and water. But it smells just awful. It is 10% sulfur so I was expecting it to not smell great, but it is still pretty overwhelming. I'll put up with it to clear my skin so quickly though! Overall, it is a very effective product. I would recommend, even for sensitive, combo skin like mine, especially for stubborn perioral dermatitis and mild acne. Read more

I have had worsening acne since menopause-deep, painful pimples that seem to take months to heal. I have also dealt with excess sebum, particularly around my nose. This product absolutely works! I use a thin layer like a mask daily for about 10 minutes, wash off and follow up with a gentle moisturizer. My acne has improved significantly, almost immediately. I don’t find it to be too drying (but I use moisturizer afterwards), and although some reviewers say the smell is overpowering, I don’t notice it. I wish I had found this product when I was younger. If you’re like me and benzoyl peroxide products never worked (and bleached your clothes!), this is definitely worth trying. Read more

This ointment helped a little bit with those nasty under the skin hormonal lumps, but it wasn't enough for me to keep buying or enduring the smell! I would recommend trying the below products first! As someone dealing with adult acne for the last two years, I was desperate for something to help my skin! I've tried countless creams, serums, peels, masks, washes, sprays, essential oils, etc until my wallet cried.. and NONE of them helped! My skin was horrible, inflamed, utterly embarrassing as a working adult, and painful to boot. (The kicker was many days it hurt to smile! If you've been there you know how discouraging this is!) My skin was so terrible a coworker anonymously left proactive on my desk at work (the turd!!). After countless wasted dollars and months of frustration I've FINALLY got my skin under control and milk thistle was a huge part of that. I'm sharing what has worked for me in hopes of helping other people who H A T E their skin. -Topically, I ONLY use Niacinamide Vitamin B3 Cream Serum 5% by Skin Daily. No washing, no scrubs, no masks-- pretty much caveman status. A drop goes a long way so the bottle will last a while. I'm never oily when using this unlike a lot of other products I tried. It's really improved the texture of my skin, smoothing and plumping (is that a thing?). I think it has also helped with some of the hyper pigmentation as well. The only other topicals I like as much are aztec/cider vinegar face mask and honey/cinnamon/nutmeg mask. I used to do one of those masks EVERY DAY in hopes of a miracle for my skin :( but now I don't need them. Unfortunately it is a little pricey but if you're like me you'll pay whatever it takes (well, maybe not a yacht) to have clear skin. -Internally: Every day I take gaia milk thistle (to fight inflammation---game changer!x3), nature' way alive! women's multi (warning it tastes super nasty but is bearable with fruit juice x3), align probiotic (x1), and naturemade fish oil pills (x3). Nothing helped me clear up like taking these supplements! I would say I am 95% clear on them and improving. Before these I cut out bread, potatoes, pasta, chocolate, dairy, and most other glorious foods in hopes of helping my body to no avail! I tried vitex/chasteberry, inositol powder, fermented cod liver oil in cinnamon tingle (still puking), synthetic vit e, maca root, hyper biotics, opti-women, turmeric, and countless more with little to no success. These days I am still conscientious about what I eat but not militant about food like I was when my skin was so horrible. Sugar and caffeine make me more inflamed so I do moderate my intake of those. If you can do nothing else I would recommend the gaia milk thistle. (Amazon has the best price I have found-but if you're desperate Whole Foods has it for like $40). Anyone with serious acne has an inflammation problem that they may nor even know about, and the milk thistle was huge in getting that under control for me- my skin was WAY less red and inflamed within days of starting it. I hope this helps anyone with skin issues looking for an alternative to meds or BC or SA/BP for managing their skin issues :) Best of luck getting clear! Read more
