Sulfur and acne
It may seem a bit radical to apply sulfur on your skin but it's a very famous acne treatment and it's very effective!
Cons
In summary, I think it’s a good product to use occasionally, like a SOS anti-zits treatment. I used to use another very similar product (but a bit more expensive, around $33 to $35), which is also based on sulfur but without alcohol, so much softer for the skin while still being very effective. It’s the Yon-Ka Juvenil, which is more like a liquid serum (this one dries completely clear also).
