Don’t shake – you’ll see a pink sediment at the bottom. That’s normal.Dip a clean cotton swab straight down to pick up the pink sediment. Dab directly on the pimple only. Don’t rub it in.Leave overnight and wash off in the morning.Use at night because sulphur can make skin sun-sensitive.Important tips
Patch test first: Try on a small area of skin for 24 hours to check for reaction.Spot use only: This is not a full-face cream.
