De La Cruz10% Sulfur Ointment Travel Size - Cystic Acne Treatment for Face and Body - Daily 10 Min Spot Treatment Mask Safe and Effective Game Changing Hormonal Acne Treatment 0.21oz 6g

De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment deserves all the praise—it has changed my skin and my confidence. If you suffer from cystic acne, stubborn breakouts, or oily, congested skin, this little jar might be the miracle product you’ve been looking for. I also use it for random folliculitis that flares up from time to time on my neck and scalp.I’ve struggled with painful, under-the-skin cystic acne for years, especially around my jawline and chin. I’ve tried everything—benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, prescription retinoids, and even oral antibiotics. Some helped, but nothing worked as quickly or reliably as this sulfur ointment. The 10% sulfur dries out active pimples and cysts overnight, sometimes flattening them completely by morning. For deep, forming bumps, applying this at the first sign of swelling helps stop them from becoming full-blown cysts. It also keeps smaller breakouts in check and prevents new ones from forming. My skin hasn’t looked this clear in years.The texture is thick and a bit pasty—it’s not a leave-it-on-and-run-errands type of product. It’s best used as a spot treatment or overnight mask. I apply a thin layer on problem areas after cleansing and let it sit for 10–30 minutes, or sometimes all night if needed. It can be drying if overused, so I follow up with a gentle moisturizer.One small note: it smells like sulfur—not overwhelmingly bad, but definitely noticeable. I honestly don’t mind it anymore, and the results are well worth it.What I love is that it’s effective without irritating my skin. I have sensitive skin that reacts to a lot of harsh acne treatments, but this doesn’t cause redness, burning, or flaking (as long as I don’t overdo it). It also doesn’t bleach towels or pillowcases, unlike benzoyl peroxide.You get a generous amount in a small jar that lasts forever because you only need a little at a time. For under $10, it’s one of the best skincare investments I’ve ever made. The packaging is simple and no-frills, but honestly, I’d still use this if it came in a cardboard box—it’s that good.After 2–3 weeks of consistent use, my breakouts were fewer, less intense, and healed faster. Now that I’m using it preventatively a few times a week, I’ve gone from daily breakouts to maybe one minor blemish a month, if that. It has truly transformed my skin routine and my self-esteem.Pros:Shrinks and dries cystic acne overnightPrevents new breakoutsDoesn’t irritate sensitive skinExtremely affordable and long-lastingGreat for oily or acne-prone skin typesCons:Strong sulfur smell (but fades quickly)Can be drying if used excessivelyNot ideal for full-face use unless skin is very oilyBottom line is the De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment is an absolute must-have for anyone dealing with cystic acne or chronic breakouts. It’s simple, powerful, and delivers real results—something I rarely say about acne treatments. I now keep a jar in my medicine cabinet, travel bag, and backup drawer. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. Highly, highly recommend!

This AMAZING. I have had acne since I was a teenager. I am in my thirties. Some things have improved it, but nothing has made it go away... except this stuff. I use it every few days, it smells terrible, but it works. My skin is clearer than it has been since I was in 8th grade. I still get little whiteheads and on rare occasions, a larger cystic one, but they are very uncommon- maybe once a month for the big ones, instead of potentially multiple of them at a time. It started working quite quickly, too, within a couple weeks. I could probably get better results if I used it more often but I like not having to smell it every shower.If you have stubborn acne, if prescriptions have failed you, if nothing seems to work... give this a shot.

to start, i have always had acne- but i had gotten it under control. unfortunately due to a change in skincare, i developed fungal acne. if you know about fungal acne, you know it’s barely “acne” at all and more of a rash caused by yeast overgrowth. we all have yeast on our skin, but certain ingredients can cause overgrowth. the yeast gets trapped under the skin causing pimple like bumps. they look like hormonal acne, but are itchy and they spread like wildfire. they are also contagious meaning if you do skin to skin with someone who has fungal acne, you may get it too. After weeks of research, i decided sulfur was my best option. which brings me here.I tried this product back in 2016, but the smell was unbearable and i discontinued use. Trying it again in 2024, the smell is no where near as strong. I could only really smell it as i was rinsing. I had to wash twice to remove the smell. I used a (new) makeup brush to apply- it’s pretty thick, and leaves skin slightly greasy (goes away with wash). I recommend putting a cap over your hair while you wait as well. After one use, i obviously don’t see a difference. I have really sensitive skin and this didn’t irritate me at all, sulfur is generally a gentle treatment.I currently have a massive patch of fungal acne on both cheeks and jaw line. I will update results weekly.7 day update: Today makes a week using this product 1x daily. I honestly have not seen a huge difference. It appears as if the redness is down, but i am still noticing the acne spreading (as fungal does). I am still experiencing mild itching along my jawline. The odor is not nearly as bad as some comment have made it seem. It only really smells once you begin rinsing. I have very sensitive skin & rosacea and this has not irritated that. Today I am adding a zinc bar soap to my regime. I have developed a completely fungal safe skincare routine as of today (was struggling to find moisturizer. went with A’Pieu Madecassoside 2x cream) so hopefully this combination will cure my issues. I will update in another week :)2 week review: alright. i have to say this did almost nothing for me. it works for some but i needed something i bit stronger. i switched my routine to just the dermaharmony 2% pyrithione zinc face bar + a’pieu moisturizer and have noticed a massive difference. this was doing nothing except stinking.
