Sulphur is used in acne spot treatments, masks, soaps and other blemish cures. It is used to treat mild to moderate acne, whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. Mimicking the actions of benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, Sulphur is known to be more tolerable for the skin as compared to both of these popular acne treatments.

Sulphur can be used for treatments other than acne and whiteheads. Being anti-inflammatory and antibacterial in nature, it can also be used for:

Mattifying skin: Sulphur has the capacity to control excess sebum production in the skin. Thus, anyone suffering from overly oily skin can look to a quick masking regime with Sulphur in it to mattify their skin.
Gentle exfoliation: Sulphur has a keratolytic effect on your skin – it softens and thins the epidermis. That is why the ingredient works as a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells, clear impurities and unclog the pores.
Improves sensitive skin: Sulphur is known to kill many forms of bacteria, fungi and parasites. This makes it ideal for treating sensitive skin issues like acne, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff), eczema and rosacea.
