This Gentle Acne Treatment Is Celebrity and Editor Loved

Spot treatments have come a long way since the ones I used in my teens left dry, dark patches behind. Now there’s plenty of decent spot treatments on the market but when you have a pesky pimple you want the best on the market. Finding a formula that is tough on acne, but gentle on skin and works quickly can be tricky, which is why I was so relieved to find Face Reality’s Sulfur Spot Treatment ($34).

After an interview with Paige Desorbo where she recommended Face Reality’s spot treatment I was eager to put it to the test. The formula features six percent sulfur to banish a breakout and allantoin and bisabolol for calming the irritation and redness. While people can be easily scared away from sulfur, or spot treatments in general, those with sensitive skin can safely use this product worry free.

The Benefits

This effective-yet-gentle formula helps address acne on multiple levels. The antibacterial ingredients help clear out acne while soothing ingredients calm the appearance of redness and ease irritation to make a breakout less obvious.

The best thing about this product is how gentle it is, and the second best is how quickly it works. When you have a pimple that’s taking over your complexion you want something that works fast. This sulfur spot treatment works rapidly to minimize the appearance of acne while also treating the source of the issue.

This spot treatment is widely-beloved by aestheticians, especially for use in their room post-facial and after extractions. Plus, since the formula dries clear you can even spot treat during the day, making it a great replacement for pimple patches.

How to Use

There’s a couple of ways you can use this spot treatment depending on your needs. You can apply it as needed to acne spots and breakouts or use it as a mask after extractions.
