🩺 Clinical
This is a topical cream cleanser containing 3% sulfur, marketed as an over-the-counter monograph product for acne care. Sulfur is commonly used in acne products as a keratolytic agent, meaning it helps soften and shed dead skin cells from the surface. It is typically applied to the skin as part of a cleansing routine. This product is sold under FDA's established rules for over-the-counter acne cleansers rather than as an individually reviewed drug application.
