Product details

ClayCo Acne Spot Treatment Paste combines 10% sulfur with salicylic acid in a thick paste that sits on individual pimples. The title says it helps dry active pimples and unclog pores, which makes it a night-time, targeted step rather than a product for the whole face.

Clay brands often lean into paste textures, and ClayCo applies that idea to spot care. Its Acne Spot Treatment Paste names 10% sulfur and salicylic acid in the title, and describes three aims: helping dry active pimples, unclogging pores and a third benefit that is cut off in the title, so check the listing for the full claim and complete ingredient list.

A paste format has a practical advantage: it stays where you put it. Unlike a runny serum that can spread into nearby skin, a thick dab sits on the pimple and dries there. That is useful because 10% sulfur is a meaningful concentration, and keeping it on the spot only helps reduce the dryness and flaking that can affect surrounding skin.

Sulfur is often used to help absorb oil and dry out surface pimples, while salicylic acid is designed to work inside pores. The title does not state the salicylic acid percentage. Together they make a fairly strong combination, so start once a day or every other night, and watch for redness, stinging or peeling before increasing.

Because a paste can be visible on the skin, most people will prefer using it at night. In Indian summers, avoid layering heavy creams over it; a light gel moisturiser around, not on, the spot is usually enough. In the morning, rinse it off thoroughly and apply sunscreen, since acid-treated skin can be more sensitive to sun.

Compared with clear gels and serums, a paste is more old-school but very focused. It is less suited to wearing under makeup, and it is not designed for blackheads spread across the nose or for widespread breakouts. For those situations, a full-face routine with milder actives is usually a better fit.

Avoid using it alongside retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or other acids on the same spot unless a dermatologist advises it. Do not apply on broken skin. Close the container tightly after each use so the paste does not dry out, and use a clean cotton bud rather than a fingertip. Patch test first. If you have cystic acne, salicylate allergy, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor. It was listed around ₹474 at the time of writing, with an MRP of ₹599.
