Sulfur 10% Powder to Cream Concentrate

Product Overview

Rapidly intercept breakouts with The Ordinary Sulfur 10% Powder to Cream Concentrate. This innovative, targeted spot treatment is engineered to treat pimples in three dimensions—reducing height, diameter, and redness—in under one hour. Utilizing a unique "powder-to-cream" technology, the concentrated formula activates upon application, transforming from a fine powder into a discrete, light emulsion. By leveraging high-purity colloidal sulfur and oil-balancing actives, this treatment provides a gentle yet potent alternative to aggressive acne treatments, making it an ideal choice for sensitive skin types needing fast results.

Key Benefits

• Ultra-Fast Results: Clinically proven to start reducing the size and redness of pimples in less than 60 minutes.
• 3D Pimple Correction: Specifically targets the height, diameter, and visible redness of individual blemishes.
• Discrete Application: The powder melts into a light emulsion that blends seamlessly into the skin, making it suitable for daytime use.
• Sensitive Skin Friendly: Sulfur offers a gentler approach to acne care compared to high-strength acids or benzoyl peroxide.
• Adjustable Dispensing: The powder format allows you to control exactly how much product you need for a single spot or a small cluster.
• Reduces Surface Shine: L-Carnitine works to minimize excess oil and visible shine in treated areas.
• Calms Irritation: Niacinamide helps soothe the look of redness and supports the skin barrier during the healing process.
• Colloidal Technology: Features smaller particle sulfur for more efficient delivery and a significantly reduced odor.
• On-the-Go Convenience: The spill-proof powder format is perfect for travel and quick touch-ups throughout the day.
• Non-Comedogenic: Formulated to clear congestion without contributing to further pore-clogging.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• Colloidal Sulfur (10%): A time-tested acne-fighting mineral that works by drying out the surface of the blemish and absorbing excess sebum. In its colloidal form, the particles are smaller, allowing for better skin contact and a more discrete finish with less traditional sulfur scent.
• Niacinamide: Also known as Vitamin B3, it helps to strengthen the skin barrier and visibly improve the look of redness and congestion, preventing the dark marks often left behind after a breakout.
• L-Carnitine: A naturally occurring molecule that targets the appearance of oiliness. By reducing surface shine, it helps the spot treatment stay focused on the blemish while keeping the surrounding skin looking balanced.

Who is it for?

FAQ

Q: Does it smell like sulfur?
A: While sulfur has a natural scent, we use colloidal sulfur with a smaller particle size which significantly minimizes the "rotten egg" odor common in other treatments. Any slight scent dissipates quickly once the cream is absorbed.

Q: Can I use this over makeup?
A: For best results, we recommend applying it to clean skin. However, because it transforms into a light emulsion, it can be carefully patted over makeup as a quick on-the-go treatment.

Q: Will this dry out the rest of my face?
A: No, this is a targeted spot treatment. Because you apply it only to the blemish, the surrounding skin remains unaffected, and the Niacinamide in the formula helps prevent excessive dryness.

Q: Can I use this with the Salicylic Acid 2% Solution?
A: Yes, but we recommend using them at different times or on different spots to avoid over-drying the skin. For example, use Salicylic Acid for all-over congestion and this Sulfur treatment for specific, inflamed pimples.

Q: Is the powder supposed to turn into a liquid?
A: Yes! The pressure and warmth from your fingertip activate the "powder-to-cream" technology, turning the dry powder into a hydrating, discrete emulsion.

Q: How many times a day can I use it?
A: You can apply it up to three times daily on a specific spot, but we recommend starting with once daily to see how your skin responds.
