Overview
De La Cruz's 5% sulfur ointment is a 2.6oz tube spot treatment for cystic acne, formulated for acne-prone and sensitive skin on the face, applied as a short, roughly 10 minute treatment rather than left on all day.
Despite the category label of Masks, this is an ointment led by 5% sulfur as its active ingredient, not a clay or sheet mask. Sulfur works differently from salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, and the formula is free of artificial color, oil, and parabens, with no animal testing.
- 5% sulfur active ingredient
- 2.6oz tube, roughly 10 minute application
- Formulated for acne-prone, sensitive skin
- Paraben free, oil free, not tested on animals
Who it's for
Suits people managing hormonal or cystic breakouts who want a targeted, short-contact spot treatment. Not a fit for anyone wanting an all-day leave-on acne cream, since this is a rinse-off treatment.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 5% sulfur as the active ingredient
- Free of parabens, oil, and artificial color
- Not tested on animals
- Sulfur has a distinct smell some find unpleasant
- Requires rinsing after about 10 minutes rather than staying on
- 2.6oz tube is a small size for frequent spot use
Performance notes
5% sulfur works by drying out and reducing oil at the site of a blemish, which is why the product is applied for a limited window rather than worn overnight.
