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 is a sulfur based ointment in a tube, meant to be applied as a targeted mask for about 10 minutes before rinsing off, rather than a full face mask left on for a longer stretch. Sulfur has a long history in blemish focused skin care, and this formula keeps things simple with sulfur and polyethylene glycol as its main listed ingredients.
The cream texture is easy to dab onto specific areas of the face or body, and the 2.6 ounce tube is compact enough to keep in a bathroom cabinet for regular touch ups. The formula is labeled cruelty free, fragrance free and vegan, which is a nice bonus for a functional, no frills treatment like this.
With more than 5,500 ratings at a 4.3 star average, and an enormous current monthly purchase volume, this is clearly one of the most widely bought products in this entire mask category, which speaks to its reputation as an affordable, no nonsense option.

Performance notes
Sulfur is an ingredient with a long history in blemish focused skin care, generally used to help manage the look of oil and surface buildup on combination and oily skin. Because this is formulated as a short, 10 minute mask style treatment rather than a leave on cream, it is designed to be applied, given time to work, then rinsed off rather than left on the skin overnight.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across more than 5,500 ratings, paired with an unusually high current purchase volume, points to a product with a large and consistently satisfied customer base built up over time.

Frequently asked questions
How long should I leave this ointment on?
It is designed to be used as a roughly 10 minute mask style treatment rather than left on for hours or overnight. Rinsing it off after that window is the intended way to use this formula.
Can I use this on my whole face?
The product is labeled for use on the face and body, but many buyers use it as a targeted spot treatment on specific blemish prone areas rather than a full face mask, especially if their skin is not oily all over.
Is this formula fragrance free?
The scent name is listed as sulfur, which reflects the natural smell of the active ingredient rather than an added fragrance, and the formula is otherwise labeled fragrance free, cruelty free and vegan.
