Product details

De La Cruz Max Strength 10% Sulphur Ointment is an imported sulfur ointment aimed at acne, blackheads and oily skin. It is a thick, targeted product best used on individual spots, and buyers should read the full listing carefully, since the title uses some strong claims.

De La Cruz sells this sulfur ointment as a max strength 10% formula and lists a range of concerns in the title, including acne, blackheads, spots and oily skin. Some of the wording in the title, such as the word cure, is stronger than what any acne product can realistically promise. It is better to see it as a sulfur spot treatment that may help surface blemishes look drier and smaller.

Sulfur has a long history in acne care and is commonly associated with absorbing oil and drying out surface spots. At 10% it is a concentrated level, which is why it should be applied only to individual blemishes, not spread across the face. An ointment base is usually thicker and more occlusive than a gel, so a little goes a long way.

The title mentions cysts, but deep cystic acne generally does not respond well to over-the-counter spot products. If you have painful, swollen or recurring cysts, please see a dermatologist rather than relying on an ointment, because untreated cystic acne can leave lasting scars.

This appears to be an imported product, so check the listing for the seller, the full ingredient list, the jar size and the manufacturing and expiry dates. Store it in a cool place away from heat, because ointments can soften in Indian summers. Use a clean spatula or cotton bud rather than fingers to keep the jar hygienic.

For use, a thin dab on the spot at night is the simplest approach. Sulfur may have a noticeable smell, and thick ointments can transfer onto pillows, so an old pillow cover is a good idea. Rinse off in the morning, moisturise lightly and apply sunscreen.

Compared with sulfur gels or serum formats, an ointment is heavier and less suited to daytime or makeup. People with very oily skin may find the base too rich for anything beyond spot use. Avoid using it on the same spot as other acids, retinoids or benzoyl peroxide unless advised by a dermatologist.

Patch test first. Do not apply on broken or irritated skin. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or allergic to sulfur. It was listed around ₹1,607 at the time of writing, with an MRP of ₹3,545.
