The Ordinary Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate offers a unique and effective approach to managing sudden breakouts. Its core strength lies in its speed and targeted action.
Upon dispensing, the product is a fine powder. When you apply it to the skin and gently rub or press, the powder transitions into a smooth, blendable cream. This transformation ensures that the concentrated sulfur is delivered precisely to the blemish area.
Targeted Application: Apply a small amount directly onto the blemish or breakout area. Do not spread it across large areas of the face.
Gentle Pressure: Use your finger or a clean applicator to gently press and blend the powder into the skin until it transforms into a cream and is absorbed.
As Needed: Use as a spot treatment whenever new blemishes appear or existing ones need rapid attention.
Emergency Blemish Treatment: Ideal for unexpected breakouts that need quick reduction before an event or important day.
Overnight Improvement: Applying before bed can lead to noticeable improvement by morning, thanks to its fast action.
Under Makeup: Once blended, its discreet finish allows it to be used under makeup if desired, though targeted application ensures minimal visibility.
Clinical testing on 30 people showed significant improvements after a single application:
Blemish Reduction: Look of breakouts reduced in under 1 hour.
Redness Reduction: Visible spot redness minimized by 50% in only 1 hour.
Oil Absorption: Excess oil absorption started immediately upon application, reducing visible shine.
This product requires no complex setup. Simply open the container and be ready to dispense the powder.
Open: Twist or remove the cap.
Dispense: Gently shake or tap the container to dispense a small amount of powder onto your fingertip or directly onto the targeted blemish.
Transform & Apply: Using your finger, apply pressure and gently rub the powder onto the blemish. You will feel and see it transform into a cream. Continue blending until it is discreetly absorbed.
Skin Types: Formulated to be gentle, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Other Products: Can be integrated into an existing skincare routine. Apply after cleansing and toning, and before heavier creams or SPF. Allow it to fully absorb before applying subsequent products.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture from affecting the powder.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, typically indicated by an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M for 6 months), for the recommended usage period after opening.
