The Ordinary launches Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate, an innovative spot treatment designed to reduce the appearance of blemishes in just one hour, no matter where you are.

Launching on 6 August, The Ordinary’s new Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate offers a targeted way to calm blemishes fast. The formula transforms from powder to cream and is designed for on-the-go use, making it easy to apply whenever needed.

With 10% sulphur, it helps reduce the appearance of spot redness and manage excess oil. The treatment starts working on contact, with visible improvements in as little as one hour.

Powder-to-Cream: A Closer Look at the Texture

The Ordinary’s Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate features a distinctive powder-to-cream texture that’s both practical and effective. This format allows for controlled application and helps absorb excess oil, reducing visible shine. The powder base also supports formula stability, as powder formats are typically more stable than those with high water content.

Since the product starts as a powder, it’s easy to carry and apply directly to blemishes using a clean finger. This makes it a handy option for dealing with unexpected breakouts while out and about.

Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate comes in powder form but transforms into a light emulsion when pressed onto the skin with a finger. The texture also blends in discreetly.

Clear on Skin, Clear in Results

With this new launch, The Ordinary continues to lead with transparency — not just in making science digestible and accessible, but also in how Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream becomes virtually invisible once applied.

While pimple patches remain a popular choice for treating blemishes, even the most discreet versions still show on the skin due to their material makeup. They may be thin, but they’re never truly transparent.

This is where The Ordinary takes a different approach. By using colloidal sulphur with a smaller particle size, the formulation offers effective delivery while minimising both the visibility and odour often associated with sulphur-based treatments.

Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate

This product doesn’t just focus on transparency, as it also delivers on accessible innovation. One bottle of Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate is roughly equivalent to more than 150 pimple patches.

Unlike standard pimple patches, which usually come in packs of 20 to 30, this treatment offers more flexibility and extended use, making it a smarter option for those looking to treat multiple breakouts over time.

It fits easily into your existing skincare routine and can be used as needed, wherever breakouts appear. While it has no known product conflicts, it’s best not to layer it with other spot treatments. This formula also takes a gentler approach to blemish care, making it a suitable choice for sensitive skin.

The Ordinary’s Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate will be available from 6 August at RM58.
