Really Helps with Cystic Acne Without Over-Drying
I’ve been using De La Cruz 5% Sulfur Ointment specifically to target occasional cystic acne, and it’s one of those products that actually does what it claims — without feeling too harsh on my skin. Right away, I noticed the ointment has a thick, paste-like texture, so a little goes a long way. I apply it directly to the trouble spots before bed, and by morning the redness and swelling are noticeably reduced. It doesn’t magically make deep bumps disappear overnight, but over a few nights it definitely speeds up calming them down and shrinking them faster than other spot treatments I’ve tried. The sulfur scent is noticeable at first, but it fades quickly and isn’t offensive. It also doesn’t leave my skin super dry or flaky, which is something I worry about with acne treatments. I’ve used it a few times a week and my skin has handled it well without irritation. If I had one small thing to mention, it’s that you really only need a tiny dab. Too much and it can feel a bit heavy, so I find it works best when applied sparingly. Overall, this has become part of my go-to acne care when I notice a cystic spot coming up. It’s effective, affordable, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling like it’s been stripped — definitely worth adding to the rotation if you deal with stubborn pimples.

It smells terrible but it works!
So Kim K said she would put poop on her face to help resist aging. Well here I am putting farts in my face to keep my skin clear! 😂😂 On a serious note, this product is amazing! I am pregnant and experiencing hormonal breakouts. I tried all acne products even a prescription (which I didn’t really want to use) and they all didn’t work. I thought to try this product based on reviews and wanted to start with the 5% for my sensitive skin and since I’m using salicylic and glycolic acids. The very first day I saw reduction in inflammation and pimple size. My breakouts are drying up before my eyes and it’s only been two days! It also seems to help with my perioral dermatitis too. The smell is bad but tolerable for how well it works. The texture is thick but you wash it off anyway and I’ve noticed it actually has reduced oil production. I cannot recommend this product enough! It is quite strong so I would suggest starting with the lower strength and increase if needed.

Works great with a couple of less apealling features
Works great, helps heal the skin pretty fast and will keep using and recommend it, the smell is rough and though it says it if oil free, the feeling is definitely very oily to me , shaking it before helps some with that oily feeling but only to a degree.

A must have for acne
A must have for acne prone skin! Yes, it does smell like sulfur and it seems to linger after you wash it off so you have wash your face afterwards. Totally worth it and it doesn’t seem to dry my skin out.

Melts into drippy sticky mess.
While the sulphur medication part of this product seems to be mildly effective, the white base it is in melts once it contacts warm skin, leaving a drippy, sticky mess. Would not recommend.

Definitely not a spot treatment
This is advertised as being a spot treatment /mask but this doesn't dry up to be effective as a spot treatment. This just sits wet on my skin. Can't wear it to bed which is when I often apply spot treatments, as it will smear all over. In my opinion this works better as a face wash. Reminds me of the DIY home honey or oatmeal masks type of thing, but definitely not a spot treatment. As a face wash, this didn't irritate my skin but I also didn't notice much of difference on my acne. As a facewash, I just think it perhaps doesn't have enough sulfur. I picked 5% vs 10% sulfur due to sensitivity with rosacea but when I did this I was thinking this was a spot treatment that would be on me much longer. Turns out 5% as a facewash isn't doing it for me. My face isn't smoother, redness still prominent and it is doing nothing for the blemishes. I noted no difference.

I used to use the tinted zinc cream for years.
The tinted zinc cream I’ve used for years not only became hard to find, but it’s out of control in price with a little research. I found something like this and you know what it works better it dries the sore faster works great Recommend .

I think it works!
After one use as per the directions on the tube, my skin was left feeling and looking cleaner than with just using my cleanser alone. My skin felt soft and natural. Not too oily or too dry. Just balanced. Product is an ointment so if you aren’t into the feeling of a slight oily feel, then this product isn’t going to be your best choice. I’m happy with this and would purchase again. A little goes a long way so I won’t have to reorder any time soon though.

من افضل الكريمات اللي اشتريتها فعال جداً لي اسبوع ونص وحرفياً الحبوب واثارها اختفت من الوجه يحرق شوي وريحة الجلد بعد ما يتفاعل نوعاً ما مزعجة، لكنه فعال جداً.

Overall the product itself is somewhat effective for acne but sulfar has a very pungent smell. Your face will smell bad unless you wash properly with a scented cleanser. The reason for only giving 3 stars is because the product did not list expiry date. I purchased in December and by March 01 it was already expired. I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew the expiry date before.
