Q: Do you rub it in or let it sit?
Leave it as a dot. Do not rub it in. The powder needs to stay concentrated on the spot to work. Rubbing it spreads it and dilutes the actives.
Q: How long do you leave it on?
At least one hour, but overnight is best. Rinse off with water in the morning. That's it.
Q: Does it help with acne scars and dark spots?
Active pimples respond fast — usually within 24-48 hours. Scars and dark spots take longer, typically 7+ days of consistent use. The 4% niacinamide is what handles marks, and it needs time to work.
Q: Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — FDA registered and dermatologist tested. The formula is designed to target only the pimple without drying out the surrounding skin. You may feel a slight tingle on an active, inflamed pimple — that's normal.
Q: Why does it smell?
The 10% colloidal sulfur has a distinct scent. It's not dangerous — it's actually the ingredient working hardest to kill the bacteria in the pimple. You get used to it quickly, especially since you apply it right before bed.
Q: Can I use it at 13/14?
The formula is gentle enough for teen skin. Many of our best reviews come from parents buying it for their teenagers.
Q: How does this compare to Mario Badescu?
Mario Badescu's drying lotion is the classic. This formula adds encapsulated salicylic acid (more stable and targeted), significantly higher colloidal sulfur, and 4% niacinamide for mark fading — which Mario Badescu doesn't include. Same format, upgraded ingredients.
Q: What if it doesn't work for me?
We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you use it correctly and don't see results, we'll refund you. The only thing you lose is trying.
