Pimples always show up at the worst possible moment, but The Ordinary there's now a solution that works faster than you can say: “Where's my concealer?”

Special stickers for pimples, creams, cleansers, everything to dry out that one red, white bump is a mega trend. The goal? To make that gloriously shiny pimple disappear like snow in the sun. Because let's be honest: does anyone really feel happy about a red bump right before an important presentation, date, or party?

Now I hear you thinking: easy for you to say with your smooth skin. Believe me: been there, done that. Around my fourteenth birthday, I had skin full of red under-the-skin bumps and was anything but soft and glowy. Scrubbing until I literally turned red (not recommended by the way). By now, I know better and am mainly a fan of softer and kinder products for your skin that actually do something. And that's exactly what The Ordinary promises now with their latest launch: Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate, your new skin hero.

They already had products like the Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, but a direct solution, one that you apply in the morning and see results by the afternoon, was still missing. Until now. Because starting in August, the Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate will be on the (digital) shelves. A spot treatment that promises visible results in 1 hour. Crazy, right?

The formula contains 10% sulfur to reduce redness and balance oil production. The powder-to-cream texture transforms into a light texture during application, and the nice thing is: you can use it on the go with your clean fingertip. No mess with tubes or noticeable patches. And the best part? It's practically invisible when you apply it.

Sulfur is the magic of The Ordinary

Sulfur may sound like something you'd rather keep away from your face, but this is really one of those cases where you want it. Sulfur works anti-inflammatory, regulates oil, and soothes, as long as you use it as intended. And because The Ordinary uses a special form with super tiny mini-particles, you hardly smell it.

Better than patches

The packaging is cleverly designed: powder form, which is the most stable regarding the ingredient, but with one press on your skin, it transforms into cream. And from the small bottle, you can get more than 150 treatments. That's quite different from those expensive boxes of patches that you often run out of quickly.

Pimple coming up? You're prepared with The Ordinary

Whether you apply it to a nearly breaking pimple or a red sensitive spot that you feel coming: Sulfur 10% is your best friend. And because you can easily combine it with other products from your routine (as long as you don't use multiple spot treatments at the same time), it's really the best launch of the year if you ask me. Big circle in the calendar on August 19, then. Because then you can shop it for just €10.50. No money, right?
