Its good for about 1 maybe 2 weeks ,but after washing with it night and day you should take a break than try it again. Its not very god but it helps little so I would try trying it

definitely good to use in your arsenal, but only as a spot treatment. I used to use it all the time until my condition changed.

Not worth it!!!

I have bad skin since coming off the Pill about 6 months ago. my skin was oily and i had lots of bumps over my face and deeper spots around my mouth, on my chin and on my back. Despite the horrrible smell i think this product really works well. For those who have complained it dries the skin out, they should read the name of the product 'Drying lotion', thats what its supposed to do! If it dries your skin excessively just reduce the amount you are using it, it is also designed to be used on spots not the whole face.

I am 30 and have tried a host of medications & over-the-counter products. I was afraid I'd just have to live with it. I can tolerate a little dry skin if the result is clear skin (finally!!) Thank you!

Wouldnt use it ever again. I've had spots for a week on one side of my face and the rest is clear so i know this has caused it because thats where i applied it and it dried out my whole face. My skin is still healing. Calamine lotion is so much better. Soothing my skin until it goes back to normal.

Well, I actually like the smell, but my husband hates it. Regardless, I have moderately severe acne (or at least did up until four months ago). I use this in conjunction with Clean & Clear Continuous Control whenever I see/feel a pimple coming up. I put it on before bed, after I wash my face, and it is greatly reduced by AM. I usually have tons of breakouts all over my cheeks, chin, lip line, around my nose, on my brow bone, temples, and forehead. I get whiteheads and pustules. These two products have helped me unlike any other product, cheap or expensive, prescription or OTC. I can't say enough positive things about these two products. Much better than any acne system. But, just be sure your skin is oily and you actually DO have acne problems. Otherwise, they'll probably dry your skin out. I know that people that have more than three pimples at a time think they have acne and then they complain a product burnt their skin or dried them out. So, if you don't have acne, then don't use it

If you're already using a prescription and/or all the usual over-the-counter acne solutions and it's still not entirely successful in clearing up the skin, De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment can be immensely useful as a spot treatment. It's great on its own but I've found a way to make this product work even better than anything else on the market. I typically mix a very minute amount of this product with tea tree oil, apply to the spot and leave it overnight. My skin can already tolerate Differin (Rx) application every other day, benzoyl peroxide (Clean & Clear in the AM) and salicylic acid facial wash (in the PM). Still, I suffer hormone-driven break-through acne. De La Cruz Sulfer Ointment and Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil is my emergency spot-treatment remedy of choice. Instead of cystic acne persisting for a week or more, if I catch it in the early stages I can halt the size and duration of the spot. Although I don't typically need more than a dab of tea tree oil and sulfur combined, a "trifecta approach" can come handy in an emergency: First, apply a thin layer of OTC hydrocortisone cream, secondly apply a very, very tiny amount of sulfur ointment and tea tree oil to the tip of your finger and rub it together. Apply lightly on top of the cortisone cream . When applied overnight as a spot treatment, this combo will bring down inflammation a lot faster than anything else on the market. Now for the disclaimer: The directions for this product do not advise leaving it on as an overnight spot treatment, let alone in combination with additional ingredients, as I've described. If you take this approach make sure you're already tolerant of the use of tea tree oil and sulfur ointment individually, and when initially using this approach follow the recommendation and remove it after ~10 minutes. If there is NO problem with this approach, you can take a step-wise approach to leaving it on a bit longer each time until you know you can leave it overnight without awaking to an itchy, flaky mess. Personally, I have no redness and flaking using this multi-ingredient approach but I didn't go straight away to overnight use, either. As with anything this powerful, it is important to introduce new products and approaches, such as the one I've described here, one at a time. Ensure you can tolerate each product you use on your skin before you begin layering ingredients. What I've described here is extremely successful as a spot treatment but I wouldn't recommend it for daily or whole-face use.

i had acne since i was in 6th grade and i used it in 6th grade and it made my pimples worser and redder. now im going to highschool and my face is clear from using a different product. honestly save ur money for something better. i dont care if i get thumbs down, im just trying to help you guys out. (: <3

When I first started using this product, I had very light acne. As soon as I started it, my skin got very sensitive and I broke out more than I had ever before. It was horrible. I was getting more breakouts and lots of whiteheads. I even got a couple of cystic pimples, which I had never experienced before. Before I knew it, I had full-blown acne. I read that acne gets worse before it gets better- and OHMAN, does it get worse. I went through with the whole packet, hoping that when I finished the whole thing the acne would go away. It's been three months and my acne never went away. It only got worse. My face is very irritated and it hurts when I touch it. I have since stopped using the product and will see if I can get any medical attention. I can honestly say that Murad is by far the worst acne product out there. I don't recommend it.
