    I received this in a sample at Ulta and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it works! Normally, I use Retin-A a couple nights a week for my acne-prone skin but I found the drying cream to be more...

    I'm newly obsessed with this stuff. Judging by other reviews, I don't know if it works for everyone, but it absolutely works for me. I began using a retinol product (that I love - MUAC serum), and...

    I got this in a set with the drying lotion and silver powder. It helped my skin slightly but overall has caused my skin to really dry out and eventually made my whiteheads worse. I've had to start...

    This stuff is great in small doses. It works wonders and comes at such a reasonable price. It doesn't have a pleasant smell, but it's not something you put al over your face anyway so that...

    Like other reviewers said, this makes pimples disappear. It does smell bad, but I only use it at night. One jar of this lasts me a full year. Absolutely a great product! Nothing else had worked on...

    This review is for a generous sample size I received. Sulfur seems to work for me. I like using this as a spot treatment at night. Spots definitely dry up overnight! There may be cheaper sulfur...

    Sulfur is a tricky thing. It either works against blemishes beautifully or it has no effect at all. I am one of the lucky ones that sulfer products work extremely well for. If you do not know how...
