Most Helpful Positive Review Helped my Cystic Acne One month ago, I originally bought this product after hours of searching for a solution for my hormonal cystic acne. I switched birth control methods and instantly started battling nasty cystic acne. I was getting one every 3 days! I came across this product after doing some searching and decided to give it a try.
When I was at Ulta, I bought the Sulfur Acne Mask along with the Retinol PM Serum. Ulta had some samples of other Peter Thomas Roth products that they gave me: Firmx Peeling Gel and Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel.
I started using the mask right away every night and it immediately started diminishing my existing cystic acne. I was also using the Retinol PM every night after the mask. My skin started looking more clear and feeling less oily and the best part was my cystic acne was clearing up GREAT! I also started using the Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel which was amazing, I love how it breaks down the oil on my face and I'm left feeling very clean. Not only that but the Firmx Peeling Gel is awesome! This is definitely one of my favorite products as it peels away the dead skin and my skin feels so smooth afterwards.
It's been a month now that I've been using the mask and I've noticed a big difference. My cystic acne still tries to come back with a vengeance, but I use the mask every other night and for spot treatments and it goes away. I continue to use the Retinol every night. I also went back to Ulta and bought the Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel after loving it so much. I will definitely be buying the Firmx Peeling Gel next time I go in.
I highly recommend this product and it solves the worst acne.
Most Helpful Critical Review Sensitive skin- DO NOT USE I have been an acne-sufferer for practically my entire life. After countless visits to the dermatologist only to be given ineffective pills and cream, I thought I'd give this mask a try since I've recently had some luck with a sulfur face wash. However, this mask appeared to exacerbate my acne. My face became even MORE inflammed with red, painful cystic bumps. Although the mask does not feel harsh per se, one may attribute the worsening of acne to the high sulfur percentage in this PTR product. If you have sensitive, acne-prone skin, I would NOT recommend this product. My face looks much worse than before. I really wanted to love this product, but it left me with texture and an irritated face.

I love this product! I follow Sean Garette on Instagram and he's recommended it so many times for acne flare ups and I am so glad I started using it. It literally helped after the first use. I use some as spot treatments overnight on small spots and across my whole face twice a week.
Amazing 5
Jade H from New York, NY
Absolutely love this! I use it 2-3x a week. It made my skin so soft and cleared my breakouts. At first, my skin definitely went through a little purging but I know it'll be worth it. This product also made my skin a little more sensitive after the first couple uses which is when I decided to split the days apart a bit more. Otherwise, I highly recommend!
Spot treatment 5
Jade from Arizona
I use this mask as a spot treatment for when I'm having breakouts and a little goes a long way for me. It works great! And I really don't mind the smell at all. It's pricy but definitely worth it!
If used correct works great 5
Allie from Oakland, md
I got this for my teenage daughter. She gets such infected acne she has to use a prescription antibiotic cream.
This is wonderful stuff. I was first introduced to a sulfer mask of a different brand by ISPY. We use this one, once or twice a week as a spot treatment, we do not cover her whole face as it can dry skin pretty quickly. After use we put on a facial moisturizer and it clears up her acne great.
Really works, really stinks! 5
Good purchase for hormonal-type acne from Denver, CO
So yeah, this stuff works for me. I've been using for 2-3 times a week for over a month and I haven't had an acne flare up since I began! I still get little white heads but the bigger, more hormonal acne that I've been battling for the better part of adulthood on my cheeks, neck, and jawline are practically extinct.
However, do not get this on other materials (such as a towel or wash cloth) and wash it with anything you value. The smell bleeds into other fabrics and becomes unbearable! Also, this stuff really hurts badly to get in your eyes, so take great care applying and washing it off. All in all, a very good purchase.
Finally something that works 5
Karina from Bronx, NY
I have spend so much money on products for my acne. I have mild acne. This face mask really works. I have been using this face mask for three weeks and no breakouts. I use it everyday, despite the fact that it says 3 times a week. I use everyday because my face gets very oily.
Pricy, but good for breakouts 4
Aless from Florida
I really liked this product, only reason I give it a 4/5 is for price. I had some nasty pimples on my chin that no amount of washing or drying lotion were clearing up, so I decided to try this, and it really worked! I used it as more of a spot treatment rather than a full face mask, and in about a week it's practically cleared the acne on my chin area. It is super drying tho, don't forget to moisturize after using this
It works! 5
DiamondMember from Oregon
Bought this mask because I liked the Sunday Riley Saturn mask with sulfur but this one is soooo much better! You can see the results overnight. It's gentle on your skin but effective at clearing blemishes. I like it because it doesn't have too many ingredients that you don't know like the Sunday Riley sulfur mask. It works!
Actually Works! 5
Instant Results from Tennessee
I tried this mask during the COVID-19 pandemic because mask have introduced a whole other ball game for skin issues and this zapped all my problem areas in one use! I instantly saw less swell and redness in the trouble areas where I applied this. This has become a must have and go to for anytime I feel or see a breakout appearing. The best part is it didn't make my problem areas worse before they get better. It simply made them better!
So expensive and did nothing 1
Liz from Boston, MA
This mask did nothing to help my acne and it's really expensive. It has a funny smell and when rinsing my face accidentally got some in my eye and it was incredibly painful. I do not recommend.
I use it everyday! 5
Grace from Ct
It soothes the skin and does a good job of cleaning your pores.
This is must need if you suffer from acene breakouts. 5
Chanton from Dallas,Texas

The Best! 5
Kdubbb from St. Louis
I've been using this for almost 9 months, 2-3 times a week (I usually leave on for 20-30 minutes) and it's the best mask I've come across! I also have about 1/4 of the tub left which is amazing considering how often I use it. It instantly reduces the redness and inflammation of breakouts and definitely helps clear up the large blemishes quickly.
Not working 2
Sandra from Mission

One of my favorite masks 5
Natalietk from Los Angeles
This mask always comes in clutch when my face is stressed, clogged and oily. I even used it on my back when I had severe back acne during summer time and it made such a huge difference and cleared up huge pimples I had. Love this stuff!
Love this stuff! Will repurchase! 5
@Zyereri from Georgia
I see instantly glow results and this annihilates my blemishes. I apply it before my shower and let it dry. After a couple days, my face is clear. It works so well that I my guy friend asked me what I was using and to get him some! I'll definitely be repurchasing. Don't change the formula, b cause you've got a customer for life!
love it 5
lys from michigan
i usually don't do masks, they don't do much for me without consistent use and even then i don't see much improvement with them. but THIS!!!!! i've been having really stubborn breakouts for a couple months now and after using this only a couple times i see such a big difference immediately. the redness and inflammation/size of my breakouts are reduced greatly and it doesn't dry out my already dry skin like most clay masks do. sulfur is the goat
Horrible Allergy 1
Shaba from Chicago
After months of battling acne I was finally at a stable stage where my skin was clear. But then this mask completely ruined my face. I put it on as it was instructed for 10 minutes, but my skin had a terrible reaction to it. It's all red and irritated. So disappointed.
Rapid reduction 4
Motherhen from Madison, Wi
I was referred this product due to cyst type pimples. After 1 use the major one was reduced 50%. This has earned a place in my skincare line-up.
Life changing 5
Tori from CLT
I have suffered from acne my entire life and now it's hormonal acne. I was suffering from a bad active breakout when I used this the first time it only took 2 times and my skin is clear. My skin has never been this clear even with getting facials and microdermabrasion done every 2 weeks. It's pricey but a little goes a long way. I'm so thankful I found this product. It has changed my skin for the better

honestly can't live without it 5
dyls from ny
i bought this two years ago and i haven't bought a new one since. i use small amounts everyday on my face for big blemishes i want to go away the next day. this stuff lasts a long time and i hope there's another sale on this again for me to buy soon!
i have oily skin and hormonal acne so when i put this on my face, the blemish, depending on how big it is, goes away or immediately goes down the next day.
honestly this product is worth it, but i would only buy it when there's a sale.
only thing that worked for me 5
porsche from Bangor, ME
I'm 29 and have never had acne until a bout a year ago. acne started on my jawline then spread to my cheeks. I tried EVERYTHING and could not get rid of it. I stopped using my foundation because I think that was the source and then decided to try this mask. I use it every day. I leave it on for 30 minutes. after suffering from acne for a year this mask got rid of my very stubborn jawline acne in 2 weeks. then my checks started to clear up. I will never be without this mask. I would die is PTR stopped selling this. I am not bothered by the smell at all and it absolutely does not dry out my skin. Sulfur medicine was my cure.
THIS IS IT 5
Alyssa from Washington
This is SAVING my face. I have/had deep horrible cystic acne all over my cheeks and jawline. Doing this mask once a week for 15 minutes is clearing it all up. If you're on the fence about this, it's WORTH IT! I'm SO happy I got this
Effective and amazing 5
Jasmine from New York
Before using the mask steam your face and use a light scrub ( I use Tata Harper regenerating scrub ) after my face is clean I apply a good amount of the mask and leave it on for an hour! I use a facial sponge to remove it with warm water and then I wash my face with ( Peter Thomas anti aging cleanser ) lightly to remove the debris from the mask and I splash cool/cold water on my face. Then I follow my skin care routine. I've used this mask 4 times in the last two weeks and it has unclogged pores, minimized breakouts, cleared my hormonal- clogged-stubborn acne underneath my chin. If you keep on using the mask twice, or even three times a week if you have time to do it properly - it's effective. it's definitely a amazing mask for anyone who gets breakouts, clogged pores, blackheads, pimples.
