  • Clinically Tested on Acne-Prone Skin

  • Clean & Paraben-Free

  • Acne-Safe & Non-Comedogenic

  • Barrier-Friendly

  • Safe for All Skin Tones

  • Dermatologist Tested

Details

  • Serum: A gentle, multi-acid serum that goes deep into pores to clear blemishes, while gently exfoliating the surface of the skin to reveal a smooth, glowy, and more even complexion.
  • Spot Treatment: A fast-acting spot treatment with 10% sulfur to visibly shrink pimples, calm redness, and ease discomfort without over-drying.

Start with an acne-safe cleanser, then apply 1–2 pumps of the serum on clean, dry skin to gently exfoliate and keep pores clear. Apply a thick layer of the spot treatment directly to active breakouts—ideally at night. Follow with an acne-safe moisturizer in the PM and an acne-safe SPF in the AM.

*We don’t use any potential pore-clogging or Malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne) triggering ingredients.

Key Questions

  • If you’re new to exfoliating, start slow—just a few times a week—and build up to daily use as your skin adjusts. You can use this serum in the AM or PM, but if you’re applying it in the morning, always follow with SPF.
  • Yes! This serum has been clinically tested and shown to be safe for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The formula is powered by 12% humectants to boost hydration and help counteract dryness and sensitivity from exfoliation. It also contains calming ingredients to ensure that acne-prone and sensitive skin can benefit from its potent formula without irritation.
  • Since this is a multi-acid formula, we don't recommend using other strong actives like retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or lactic acid at the same time to minimize the risk of irritation.
  • If you’re new to exfoliating, you might experience a purge—meaning you may see small pimples and bumps appear. This is completely normal! Salicylic acid works by diving deep into pores and bringing underlying buildup to the surface. This phase can last a few weeks, so stick with it and continue to slowly incorporate it into your routine.
  • Nope! This product won’t stain or bleach your clothes, towels, or bedding. It’s made with sulfur, which doesn’t have bleaching properties. Most spot treatments that stain contain benzoyl peroxide.
  • Our R+D team worked hard to minimize the classic sulfur scent. However, as a natural compound, you may experience a light scent.
  • This formula is ultra gentle, so you can use it as often as needed. Most people use it overnight, but it also works great as a daytime treatment on problem areas.

    Magic!!

    I only recently learned that Sulfur was good for acne so

    of course I had to try this product! It has definitely lived up to the hype and I have not stopped using this since getting it! I’m normally a pimple patch user but I’ve actually been reaching for this more lately! 10/10 product, definitely recommend it!

    What Is Salicylic Acid and Why It Belongs in Your Skincare Routine

    Let’s talk about one of the most proven, go-to ingredients in the acne world: salicylic acid. Technically, it’s a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) — aka an oil-soluble chemical exfoliant that goes deep into pores to clear out dead skin cells and excess oil. Translation? It’s a total MVP for unclogging skin and calming breakouts before they blow up.
