Overview
This is the maximum strength version of De La Cruz's sulfur ointment, built around a 10 percent sulfur concentration rather than the brand's standard formula. It is meant to be used as a short mask style spot treatment on acne prone areas, applied for a set time and then rinsed away.
At 5.5 ounces, this tube is roughly double the size of the brand's smaller options, which suits anyone using it regularly across larger areas of the face or body. The formula is unscented and labeled vegan and not tested on animals, and it skips dye, mineral oil, oil, and added preservatives, which keeps the ingredient list focused.
With more than 6,200 ratings averaging 4.3 stars, and an extremely high current monthly purchase volume, this larger, stronger formula clearly has its own loyal following distinct from the brand's smaller tube.
Pros
- 10 percent sulfur concentration for a stronger maximum strength formula
- Larger 5.5 ounce tube offers more product per purchase
- 4.3 star average across more than 6,200 ratings
- Unscented, vegan formula free of dye, mineral oil and added preservatives
- Extremely high current monthly purchase volume shows strong ongoing demand
Cons
- Higher sulfur concentration may be more than sensitive skin needs
- Larger tube is a bigger commitment if you have not tried the brand's lower strength version first
- Best suited to spot or zone treatment rather than an everyday full face mask
Performance notes
At 10 percent, the sulfur concentration here is meaningfully higher than the brand's standard formula, which is why it is marketed as maximum strength. Sulfur works by helping manage the look of oil and surface buildup, and a higher concentration is generally reserved for skin that has not responded as well to gentler options, though easing in gradually is a reasonable way to gauge tolerance.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across more than 6,200 ratings, combined with an unusually high current purchase volume, shows this stronger formula has earned trust from a large and active customer base.

Frequently asked questions
Is 10 percent sulfur too strong for daily use?
A 10 percent concentration is on the stronger end for sulfur based treatments, so many people use it as a short, occasional mask rather than a daily step. Starting with less frequent use and watching how your skin responds is a sensible way to introduce it.
How is this different from the standard De La Cruz sulfur ointment?
This version is labeled maximum strength with a 10 percent sulfur concentration and comes in a larger 5.5 ounce tube, compared to the brand's standard 5 percent formula in a smaller size. The core ingredient is the same, just at a higher concentration and larger volume.
Does this formula contain fragrance?
No, it is labeled unscented, and it is also free of dye, mineral oil, added oil and preservatives, keeping the ingredient list fairly minimal aside from the sulfur itself.
