    I am on a medication that has been wreaking havoc on my face. I never before had an issue with cystic acne... just the occasional angry zits that would calm by alternating a BP spot treatment at...

    Beautypedia rates this low because it has sulfur, which is drying. But drying is what you want when you have a pimple that won't go away! Sulfur works better for me than sa or bp, and this works...

    This is an on the spot treatment. Reading other reviews, I don't think everyone gets that this is not to treat an area of breakouts, though it may help. As I've used topical sulfur creams that were...

    I used this for about two weeks steadily for some blocked pores/white heads on my chin - which was a HUGE mistake! Even though I applied moisturizer over the cream every time I used it, my skin...

    This is great for me. I started breaking out in cystic acne and was desperate to get some sort of spot on cream, and I found this! Pimples became much much smaller and less redder overnight. The...

    it did nothing and is difficult to apply because it has a thick consistency so you have to keep rubbing at it until the white cream disappears. a waste of money.

    IMO- Pros: the packaging is good. Cons: I couldn't stomach the smell! I can tolorate certain things for stuff that works, but this...was the WORST!

    Contains 3% sulfur in a lotion base. This did absolutely nothing for my combination skin prone to cystic acne.

    I have been using a BP to spot treat any acne for the past 10 years now. However, BP does not take care of the cystic (really red filled ones that hurt) ones that well. I received a sample of this...

    Definitely helps to get rid of pimples, and doesn't dry out my skin like other products with BP do. Has a noticeable sulphur smell to it - reminds me of the old photocopies we'd get as kids. If...

    I got a sample and this stuff works pretty well; I'll be buying a full size tube. But I must say it does have a stong smell (the sulfur).
