The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
This ointment is built around 10 percent sulfur, a long standing ingredient in over the counter blemish care, and it is meant to be applied as a short, roughly 10 minute spot mask rather than left on all day. The formula is unscented, non comedogenic, and free of fragrance and preservatives, and it is meant for use on the face, neck, and back.
The listing frames the product around oil control and skin smoothing, and it also carries a dry skin use tag alongside its acne prone focus, so it is worth patch testing on a small area first to see how your skin responds before working it into a regular routine. At 2.6 ounces, the tube is sized for spot level use rather than an all over face mask.
With more than 2,400 ratings averaging 4.2 stars, this ointment has built a reasonably strong reputation over time in a crowded acne care category. Current monthly purchase activity looks quiet, which points to a steady, established product rather than a fast growing new release.
Pros
- 10 percent sulfur is a well established over the counter ingredient for blemish care
- Fragrance free, non comedogenic formula suited to acne prone skin
- 4.2 star average across more than 2,400 ratings shows a solid reputation
- Affordable price for a targeted spot treatment mask
Cons
- Meant for short, spot level use rather than an all over face mask session
- Oil controlling sulfur formula may feel drying on naturally dry skin
- Current monthly purchase volume looks quiet
Performance notes
Sulfur is an oil soluble mineral ingredient with a long history in over the counter blemish care, and at 10 percent concentration this formula leans toward oil control and skin smoothing. Because it is meant to be worn briefly as a spot mask rather than an overnight treatment, it is best used on targeted areas rather than the entire face at once.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across more than 2,400 ratings is a respectable score in the crowded acne care space, though it trails some of the higher rated masks in this roundup. Current monthly purchase counts look modest, suggesting this is more of a steady, established pick than a fast growing new favorite.

Frequently asked questions
How long do you leave this mask on?
The product is designed as a short spot treatment mask, applied for around 10 minutes at a time rather than left on the skin for extended periods or overnight.
Is this safe for dry skin?
The listing tags it for both acne prone and dry skin use, but because the formula is built around oil control, it is a good idea to patch test on a small area first if your skin runs dry or sensitive.
Can I use this on my back as well as my face?
Yes, the listing specifies it is meant for use on the face, neck, and back, which makes it a flexible option for body breakouts as well as facial blemishes.
