I love sulfur. I had bad acne when i was in high school. My uncle who was a dermatologist prescribed sulfur and it does wonders! My acne healed in a couple of months and never came back. My uncle passed last year, God bless his soul ❤
Which sulfur product did you use?
Product name please?
Can you please tell product name
May his soul rest in peace ❤
I was in Iceland for four days and the shower water REEKED of sulfur. My skin never looked better and now I have confirmation as to why.
I had the same experience when I visited Iceland-my skin has never been more radiant after those sulfur-rich showers!
Agreed. I recently spent 3 months in Hungary and was leasing a house which had a well for the water supply. It stank of rotten eggs. I have suffered from Folliculitis decalvans for years. 2 weeks after using the sulfur rich water my scalp completely cleared with zero medications. Now I’m using a sulfur soap with the same results
@@TanyaOfMars No wonder Icelandic people look so good!
"There will always be fungus among us" - loved this one.
Hi, aap kaun sa city me rehte ho ? 😊 Aapka photo bahut accha laga mujhe 😍
This is the ONLY dr or channel on social media i have found that is helpful and actually know their stuff and is not backed by EITHER drug store brands or high end
That one doctor who triss to say any skincare other than cerave is a waste and dosent do anything drives me INSANE
Which doctor is that? 😬
@@MrsFitzusDr Dray 😅
I literally stopped following others. 😅
@@Moe90ies That one also makes clickbait titles and shorts with fake info, she so bad lol
The only other one that imo is a positive addition to anyone's subs beside dr.Idriss is Lab Muffin Beauty Science, she recently did a great video about rosemary oil and all those hacks that fell for the badly made research that supported its use is cosmetology.
@@DeadKraken dr Dray doesn't spread misinformation, she only puts out information that is real research based.
A local glacier melt river has a high sulfur content & my kids noticed that their skin is super clear & glowy from a day rafting on this river. I scooped a jarful of the water & got them to use a mister to spray on their faces. Now I'll start using it for rosacea Great stuff!
Thank You for all the help and support ❣️
Sulfur-soap is available in my country as traditional medicine 🇹🇷 It’s a gem for body acne. My father is MD., and he has recommended me years ago when I was a teenager.
does it leave a smell? I wanna try sulfur soap but I don't want others to smell the sulphur lol
@@blauendonau9779 it might be to harsh.
@@daisyd3w3491 the smell doesn’t last.
i love you so much you’ve saved my skin
I just bought my sulfur soap a few days ago after watching your shorts :D
It would be great to hear from you about skin care for contradictory problems: rosacea and oily skin, dehydration and oily skin, dry skin and acne etc. It is often difficult to find products/ingredients that are suitable for such people.
Thank you for educating us
Dehydrated oily skin!!
How is your journey with sulfur going?
Dry but acne prone 😭😭😭😭
I use De la Cruz as a mask, usually once, maybe twice a week (when I work out at home - you dont want other people to see or smell you lol). The first couple of times were rough, I admit, but after that I got over the scent:) you cannot beat it, the pores on my nose are finally not clogged, and my skin is clear :)
Lol yes! 🙌
Can it help me with my hormonal acne on my chin ?
@@fifi3012 This, I need to know.
I can't wait to find out about the exciting announcements coming our way. I love reading your News Letter. Enjoy your weekend Dr. Idriss. 💜🤓
This is such perfect timing. I was thinking about trying sulfur again. Great info and education, as always!
Totally off-topic, but you are rocking all those bright colors, Dr. Sheerene! What a cute sweater.
Dr. Idriss, Lisa Eldridge just gave you and your brand a huge shout out in the UK!
Please do a full video on Argireline dr Idriss. We have still many questions on its benefits and way to use.
I can’t wait to try this for my annoying sebaceous filaments!
I would love to see your take on resveratrol!
I love the smell of sulfur! I think I also associate it with cleanliness and purifying. Thank you doc!
I love your videos! they have become my bible for knowing how to care for my skin. My skin has improved 200% since I've been watching them. Please do a video of sebaceous filaments, this is the only problem I haven`t been able to control.
Could you do a teen/tween skincare episode? My daughter would really benefit from hearing the truths from you!
as a medical student and soon be studying dermatology residency. I never tried sulfur it has its benefits as an owner of sensitive skin without acne i wouldn't use it on myself, i love your topics very much very educational and very beneficial for my future practice as a dermatologist
In all honesty i would love a vid where you retouch on skin types. Ive been working with combo skin and either mild rosacea or sensitive skin
I am SO glad I watched this video before buying the De La Cruz sulfur ointment!!! I am very very VERY allergic to Sulfas, I was prescribed Trimethoprim Sulfa a year ago and I ended up being hospitalized because it wreaked havoc on me. As always, thank you for being so informative Dr. Idriss
9:20 hey I just want to let everyone know that Starface discontinued all of their skincare products (besides their pimple patches), including the sulfur mask mentioned in the video. I think it happened early January.
Is there an alternative?
Just bought the sulfur mask and sunscreen today!!! Oh happy days
I LOVE Sulfur!! I've used Liquimat for several years, And it's absolutely wonderful because it's also a concealer... It is the perfect tint. I am a fair skinned natural redhead, this tint is perfect for my skin tone. I don't have milky white skin with big freckles, I'm more of a fair to light skin tone. With very sensitive skin, I have to be careful. Liquidmat never dries my skin out or leaves it red. I use it for an occasional zit. My dermatologist also loves sulfur. Great video!!!😊❤
I call the Starface mask my Cookie Monster mask 🙃 They did a collab with Sesame Street, so think they missed a trick there. Should’ve made it cookie dough scented! The weird thing about it is the smell isn’t too bad whilst it’s on, but after washing it off, the eggy smell lingers for a couple of days
Dr. Shereene, could you make a video about the changes we can make in the skincare routine for women who are starting menopause? Because my skin became so sensitive that I can't even use sunscreen, and I've tried tons of physicals and chemicals and nothing is working. I had to stop retinol, vitamin c or any active ingredients. Dermatologists rarely talk about menopause. And I have the appointment in another month and I don't know what I can do now. 😭
Have you tried Neogen SPF 50?
I played the sunscreen game for 3 months. Literally everything I put on my face caused pimples. I would put it on in the morning and have zits by the end of the night.
Eucerin 50 pigment control is the only suncreen that didn't cause pimples. I tried korean brands too. I actually found the eucerin from a video she did on sunscreen. I bought 3 different ones she discussesd. Eucerin was the 2nd one I tried. Never used anything else again.
this couldn’t come at a better time! I’m currently working at a hot springs spa in Iceland and will get the best out of it! Thank you 😌
Hi, beautiful girl 😍 how are you feeling 😅
Yes! Thank you for mentioning bactrim. I had an allergic reaction to bactrim. I use to use sulfur for my eczema and acne. My dr prescribed bactrim for acne and my reaction was awful. I no longer use sulfur and bactrim. Thanks for mentioning allergic reactions.
I want your products soooo much ! I cannot wait when you ship to Europe!
I have subscribed to the news letter. Nerdie Newbie proud x
Also love Fungus among us quote cracks me up 😅
I had no idea that sulfur was so helpful in skin care. I will try on my nose. Thank you and happy Saturday!
To be fair its not sulfur but chemical bonds with sulfur that we use on our skin. Pure sulfur would be ... 😮😮😮
I love sulfur too! I just started using bar soaps for the body for now to solve back-ne and so far so good! The smell really is misleading but the effects are definitely worth it!
AT LAST, the missing piece of my personal skincare puzzle! Thank you, Dr. Idriss! 💖
p.s. I turned 40 earlier this week and I'm happy to report that it's been pretty okay so far. Happy (Early) Birthday to one of the best and brightest around! A truly dazzling gem of a human! Hoping your 40th is full of ALL of the good things: love, hugs, sparkles, high-fives, rainbows, sweet treats, and more! 💖💖💖
💜💜💜You are a TRUE GEM on TH-cam💜💜💜
I know Sulfur-based products will DEFINITELY help with skin diseases like Rosacea and Seb dermatitis (which I suffer with both of them)! They used to make Sodium Sulfacetamide 5% liquid in the 1990s and early 2000s! Now I wash with 2% Salicylic acid once or twice weekly and it really helps!
My skincare hero ❤
Please do a video on Korean Skincare and it’s effectiveness. There is so much hype around Korean skincare. Is Korean skincare really worth adding to our skincare routine? I remember my physician prescribing a cream with sulfur in the cream, when I was a teen, it worked overnight. Thank you for your frank and informative videos.
The content is informative and the presentation style for today is MUCH better. Well done.
I love de la Cruz! I use it morning and night all over my face and leave it on for 5ish minutes. It doesn’t smell pleasant, but once washed off, you don’t smell like rotten eggs. No lingering smells. Game changer for my acne!
Love from india❤❤❤
U have been the solution for so many problems and acne is one of them..thnk u so much dr.idriss ❤
Murad is the only product we can easily get in Australia. Love using on my nose but will have my 14 year old son put on a red and nasty spot on his nose. Thanks for the tip Dr Idriss.
Thank you so much for the tips! The only puzzle piece I’m missing here - can sulfur be paired with any other skincare actives?
I love the ointment by de la cruz! I bought the sample two years ago and i still have so much left, I have seb derm, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and possibly MCAS and it really soothes my inflamed skin, and is one product I can use while also using Aklief, not at the same time, and perhaps not on the same days, but it doesn't overly sensitize me.
Yes, the bar soap you mentioned is really nice but it does dry your skin. I just follow with a good moisturizer.
Thank you !! I am 68 and really need the blue mask just for my nose !!
Dr. Sheerene, I love listening to your videos, so informative and sooo much to learn. My skin has improved so much after following your advices. ❤❤
And I stopped buying products right and left and really look into the ingredients before buying.
Thank you for the amazing work you are doing - Noza (using my husband’s youtube😂)
De La Cruz also makes a 5% sulfur acne treatment for sensitive skin. My skin doesn't like 10% sulfur, and the 5% has made a huge difference on my sensitive and acne-prone skin.
How do you use it and how many times a week?
My skin was the same! It responded so well to the 10% sulfur for the first 3 weeks or so. For the first time all my sebaceous filament disappeared, along with all my closed comedones and I had such smooth, REFLECTIVE skin lol. I have acne rosacea so I've struggled with bumpy skin all my life. After 3 weeks however, after using it my skin would get itchy, red and inflamed within hours, even if I were to use them at certain areas on my face instead of entire face. Pretty strange since this product is known to be super tolerable even by ppl with very sensitive skin. about 1-2 months after stopping use my sebaceous filaments and closed comedones were back with a vengeance. I so wish I was not allergic to this. Going to try the 5% to see if it works !! Thanks
@@pepsil4life475 how many times a week did you apply the mask? Did you use moisturizer? I'm asking because I have sensitive skin :')
I use it 2-3 times a week just on my nose. Occasionally I'll use it all over my face if I'm having bad breakouts. Because my skin is so sensitive I always do a basic routine that night - double cleanse, sulfur mask, hydrating serum/toner, and a nice thick moisturizer. I avoid other actives when I use it because it is too much for my skin.
Great
Thank you @@pepsil4life475
Hi,
I have been following you for quite some time now. Love all the info. I see now your hair are longer and much beautiful skin with no lines at all. Can you please share the cosmetic procedure that you are doing on yourself. Really appreciate all your efforts and videos. Thank you ❤
BOTNIA SKINCARE makes simple sachets of colloidal sulfur and oat flour. The scent isn’t too offensive and I either mix it with my own cleanser or a hydrosol.✨
I wanted to try sulfur for my acne spots, but I'm so glad that u mentioned the allergy thing 😅. It's really scary cuz I almost just bought it at the store one day. I didn't put together that sulfa drugs are made of sulfur 😅
@Dr. Shereen Idriss I remember so, so, so many years that I used compound many prescriptions in Australia containing sulphur and resorcinol for acne etc but I rarely see prescriptions now. My go to is by Mecca MECCA MAX
X-ZIT STRATEGY Clarifying Mask which has lactic acid, 5 percent sulphur , your favourite ingredient , glycerin and bamboo charcoal and it does wonders for acne.
I picked up Neutrogena sulfur with nicinamide spot treatment.
I would like a video on peptides and specifically copper. Thanks! 💜
My mom used to buy sulfur bar soap. That was before I turned 10. This video reminds me of it. I will buy later. Hopefully I can find it.
I got Tula's sulfur cleanser. Wow, what a difference it's made! Thank you So much for all of your hard work and sharing of your wisdom. 😊👏
Hey! How do you use it please? As a cleanser?
@oumaimael-mrabet5584 yes, as a face wash once a day.
I just got some 10% sulfur soap. I workout a lot and have been struggling with acne all over, it’s been helping out so much!! Only after 2 weeks, I’ve noticed a HUGE change! My upper arm/upper back acne is almost gone, and my sebaceous filaments are almost nonexistent 🙌
Hi Dr. Shereene, thanks for such valuable information. Could you please do a video on skincare, layering and products for hormonal acne prone skin? I have acne around my chin and don't know what to use and how to layer them. Im 36 but still have those terrible cyctic acne especially when I eat sugary food and dring alcohol.
I love sulfur. Sulfur soap saved my skin from acne in my younger days
Check out the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion! Works wonders as a spot treatment!
Really enjoy your videos. I’ve had great success using Peter Thomas Roth but hard to find in the uk.
Wanted to ask your thoughts on: DERMALOGICA
DEEP BREAKOUT LIQUID PATCH which contains 5% colloidal sulphur.
And also SUNDAY RILEY SATURN SULFUR SPOT TREATMENT MASK.
One MUST also consider what you eat and how you feel (psyche) and what other things you put on your face.
Thank you so much! Can you speak about products cointaining DMAE?
Happy Saturday! As always, good information 😊. I've been asking this question and hope you can touch on it in a video or short. Hoping for more videos on wrinkles and menopausal/post menopausal skin. Do estriol face creams work, help with wrinkles, collagen and elastin? Musely has a estriol cream, but I am tentative about trying it. I don't want to throw away $$. I recently started a hydroquinone body cream through Musely. for chest, hand and shoulder freckles that are now more age spots. The Rx I have is a couple of months on and then a break, and so on. I appreciate your insight 💙.
Thank you so much for this video! It was super helpful! I would love to get a better understanding on how to use it. I usually use the one from Kate Somerville in the morning after my shower, but I have the impression that it would be best to do it at night. Is my understanding correct?
Love your videos doctor shereene idriss
Im on my 2nd day of using the De La Cruz acne treatment because I ran across your video speaking about sulfur so THANK YOU! I have oily skin,rosacea and acne prone so Im really hoping this will help all 3 issues
Any updates?
Sulfacet-R was my jam as a teenager
🖤 could you make a video about vitamin B12 excess causing acne?
Watching her videos and making notes with product recommentdations really helps me feel confident that I can tackle any skin problem.
Please talk about Keratosis Pilaris.
Aw love that! I have a KP video on my channel 🙌
i've tried to find a sulfur cleanser, but nothing was available in my european country (that's not like a 100$ with shipping). So I went to the Pharmacy and bought a sulfur bar soap for face and body. It only retails there and is super mild with a short ingredient list. So whatever you're looking for, remember you can look there as well! I am very happy with my soap and my pores are less visible already (did it after the reel on the kate sommerville cleanser) Thank you shereen for this great Tip!
Thanks for your comment, I am also in Europe and it's been really challenging finding sulphur products here. If you're looking for spot treatments, Vichy has a 10% sulphur one that works wondersss
which bar soap did you buy?
Blücher-Schering Schwefelseife i'ts a German product, has 5% sulfur :) @@thaothao3149
Try MSM powder from puremetics (german brand)
I LOVE sulfur!!!!!
I have extremely sensitive ROSACEA prone skin and get inflamed redness and pimples around my mouth, under my nose and chin.
I love using the NATURIUM sulfur spot treatment 8% at night as the last step in my skincare routine and go to sleep like that
I love it- I really feel that it helps me clear it up fast. Plus it has the reishi and niacinimide. I don’t find it to smell at all either ♥️
Hope this helps someone out there!
I have this one as well. I can smell it, but it's not terribly strong and doesn't linger once you rinse in the AM.
Thank you for this rec! I was scanning comments for something like this, as I have the exact same issues. Will look for that product!
@@emilyisoutside I am so happy to help!!! Finding products that work for my skin is SO challenging 🙏🏻😭 so I am always overjoyed if I can find something and share it with others! I hope it works well ♥️ I got it at Target
I use the Murad mask mentioned and the Salicilyc Acid doesn't bother my sensitive skin. I do think it has a bit of a sulfur scent, but strangely that surfaces after you washed it off, not while it's on your face. It's not extremely strong though thankfully
I’ve had derms recommend a zinc soap bar instead of sulfur? I see some brands offering both and curious on the pros and cons. Thanks for the great content!
The EradiKate line has really helped my acne. I can't prove it but the HA from the Ordinary really broke me out. I kept thinking it was helping, but it was drying and inflaming my very sensitive acne prone skin. I am very sensitive to wine and always assumed it was the sulphur/sulfer in it. At least it's safe topically applied.
Thank you for the video! Could you please review red light therapy Lamps/ masks? 🙏❤️
I'm currently fond of a drugstore bha,aha and niacinamide cleanser, which I use twice a day (morning and evening), followed by the isdin acniben serum, just in my pm skincare routine.
It's the only combo working for my skin (huge pores, very oily even though I'm 38).
I'd like to give sulfur a try
Love learning so much from your videos! My question please is what can I do to help control the oil and sebaceous filaments since I’m allergic to bactrim.
This is my biggest concern!
I was thinking about getting a sulfur soap after hearing you mention it before, but I'm REALLY GLAD I watched this first because I'm actually one of those people that are allergic to sulfa drugs so I'd probably be allergic to this like you mentioned. I'll have to stick to salicylic acid clensers for my acne 😭
Edit: does that mean I can't go in natural hotsprings either? I live near some and I was hoping to go one day...
You may not see this but could you please do a video on psoriasis?? Any recommendations, any products or treatments that you know, things you have learned about it. Thank you
I discovered sulfur soap while living in Jordan (still here for a few more months). Game changer. I was desperate to heal my body acne and it's working very well!
Whats the brand name ? Or from where did you get it plz ?
Can you do a video on different types of prescriptions for acne? Like Aczone and topical abx versus oral abx/accutane/spironolactone?
Hello Doctor! Thanks for dropping all these helpful videos, they've really saved my skin!
I have one question: you often speak of people "overexfoliating" their skin. My question is, are all exfoliating acids equals in that sense? For example, many day creams for oily skin have salicylic acid in them, so wouldn't we be exfoliating every day by using such products? Or would the percentage of SA in such creams be so small that it'd be basically useless and we could be using other chemical exfoliants in addition to that?
Dear Dr. S: ever since you called out Hyaluronic Acid, I’ve been a fan of you for life! :)
I experienced severe fungal acne after taking prednisone for arthritis. Ultimately, I decided on an oil/ester/fatty acid free regime, plus sulfur to treat. It was so difficult to find sulfur products that were free of those aforementioned ingredients. So: I bought plain old sublimed sulfur powder. I add a dash to my moisturizer and wow: yes, it works, and my skin is glowing. The great thing is that it won’t become resistant to fungus.
What brand do you use
Hello Doctor! Thanks for the video it was very informative. What do you think about The Inkey List - Sulphur and Novoretin cream? It smells bad but works for me. :) thank you
THanks so much for this! I'd completely forgotten about sulfur, first used it in the 1970s when I was 14 and had very bad cystic and hormonal acne. That is no longer the case, thankfully, but I'm still really oily at 65, and everyone has sebaceous filaments. Looking around, The Honest Company makes a colloidal sulfur cleanser that I like a lot and is about $18, half the price of Kate Somerville. 3% colloidal sulfur. I really don't mind the smell and it's not that strong. Will try De La Cruz also for more of a treatment product. Again, thanks for the reminder!
Did the sulfur help you with cystic hormonal acne back then?
@@Na-wg9jr it definitely helped. I couldn't tolerate retin-a. It would be hard to use during the day because of the smell (I really don't care, but other people, you know...). There was no sal acid, retinol, vitaminc C, niacinamide, benzoyl peroxide, in those days and I would definitely use them together. Nothing is a panacea, but I would definitely recommend it together with the many great options now. Good luck!
Great learning experience - thank youuu.
Can you please talk about more natural products? Like pure argan oil on face, or shea butter.
I tried the shea butter and on the fourth night my skin was cleared a bit from acne and discolouration was a looot better. So what is your take on this?
I love the inckey list acne treatment serum. It also has sulfur and it works wonder. Dr idriss, what do you think about this product? ❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel but how is it that you can leave out Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque!! It’s a total classic for my generation X. Tried and tested AND Cheaper than everything you just put up on the screen. This said, because you are so qualified if you do look at it and find that it’s actually bad, it would be so great if you can inform us of this. I would totally appreciate your feedback on this product, I still buy now as a 49 year old, but just like my teen years, I have to follow it up with a good moisturizer. It’s also great for spot treatments, which is what I use it for
I have been using Sulphur soap from Christina May for many years.
The Inky list also have a sulfur spot treatment cream
Sulfur soap stopped my breakouts! Worked like magic 😂
I love my sulfur face gel along with my retinol!!!
🔥🔥🔥
Woohoo! Birthday Month!! Happy Early Bday 15 days early haha! My daughters is the 25th. Great info again! Thx
I use the Dr. Dennis Gross sulfur mask. It's expensive, so I use it on my nose and jawline where I break out, and I apply an inexpensive hydrating clay mask to the rest of my face. I'll typically use it twice in the week before I start my period, when I get a hormonal breakout. It smells a little bit like sulfur and a lot like rosemary.
I used Dr Dennis Gross Sulfee Mask and it works so good, but the price raised and the size got smaller.
Waiting for that PillowTalkDerm sulfur face wash drop 👀 or at least I’m hoping that’s what the exciting news is lol
or maybe a glycerine based facial spray?
Pls do video on upper hair removal tips
Do you have any suggestions for folks who get good response from sulfur (for redness, acne, etc) but have dry skin? Are there best practices for getting the benefits without making dry skin worse?
This video comes at a perfect time because my rosacea acne is flaring and I don’t want scarring from the postules 😭
Hello Dr. Idriss, thank you for your videos! Could you please make one on the use of serums with LED devices and with micro needling. Would you recommend putting on hyloronic acid before a light therapy session? Also, would you recommend putting hyloronic acid after a micro needling treatment? Thank you. Jennifer.
For a cheaper option try AcneFree Sulfur Acne Foaming Cleanser with Lemon Oil, and Oat Extract (3.5%). The scent is faint and with the lemon is tolerable. I have tried De La Cruz, but the smell lingered in the bathroom which bothered family. Sulfur has been so gentle for me. Skin almost feels waxy. But it took some time to build up to being able to use more regularl. While I tried the Inkey List's succinc acid spot treatment contains sulfur. It's price point isn't great, but is convenient if you want to wear around the nose. Beware, it's green! SLMD had a sulfur product but I think it's gone which is dissappointing because I wanted to try it.
Have any thoughts on the sulfur Acne Treatment by Kate Somerville? I know you mentioned the cleanser briefly; didnt know if the treatment is just as good/effective?
