As soon as I got this, this instantly became my favorite.▶ 9:03–9:10
This is my breakout emergency product.
This also starts out as a powder and then when you rub it, it becomes cream and then when it dries down, it dries down into a matte slightly powdery finish on the skin.▶ 9:19–9:33
You only need a tiny amount of this.▶ 9:33–9:38
Sulfur is known to help pimples by reducing excess oil and really drying out the surface of the blemish.▶ 9:38–9:47
It really makes clogged pores less likely to worsen.▶ 9:47–9:56
It also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that help calm redness and speed up healing.▶ 9:54–9:59
I use this strictly as a spot treatment.▶ 10:02–10:09
