How to Use Sulfur Spot Treatments

Apply sulfur spot treatment to clean, dry skin only on active breakouts, leave overnight, and start with every other night to avoid irritation.

1. Start with clean skin. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat completely dry. Sulfur works best on clean skin without any barriers from oils or serums.
2. Apply precisely to spots. Dab a small amount directly onto active pimples using a cotton swab or clean finger. Avoid spreading it to surrounding clear skin as sulfur can be drying.
3. Let it work overnight. Leave the treatment on while you sleep. Sulfur needs time to draw out impurities and reduce inflammation, so resist the urge to layer other products on top.
4. Moisturize in the morning. Wash off any residue with lukewarm water and follow with a lightweight moisturizer. Your skin may feel tight after sulfur treatment, so hydration is essential.
