In the ever-expanding world of acne treatments, speed and visibility matter more than ever. And now, The Ordinary has introduced a blemish solution that aims to outpace the rest — with science, transparency, and a clever twist of texture.
Launching in Australia on August 6th, Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate is The Ordinary’s first fast-acting spot treatment — and it promises visible results within just one hour. Designed to reduce redness and absorb excess oil, this compact new launch responds to what breakout-prone skin craves most: immediacy.
Unlike the familiar sticker-style pimple patches that dominate today’s anti-blemish aisle, Sulfur 10% blends science with subtlety. Its lightweight powder transforms into a cream upon contact with skin, thanks to a smart micro-encapsulation process that releases active sulfur exactly where it’s needed — without shine, residue, or scent. It disappears into skin, but its effect does not.
This powder-to-cream format isn’t just novel — it’s practical. The packaging allows for on-the-go application with a clean finger, eliminating the awkwardness of wearing a patch in public. Colloidal sulfur, kaolin, and silica work together to calm inflammation, balance oil, and mattify skin — all without disrupting your existing skincare routine. And while pimple patches are typically sold in limited packs, a single bottle of Sulfur 10% is said to be equivalent to over 150 stickers.
True to The Ordinary’s DNA, the launch comes at an honestly priced AUD $16.50, offering dermatologist-inspired results without the derm office visit. It’s also gentle enough for sensitive skin and doesn’t conflict with most actives, meaning you can treat blemishes on the spot, whenever — and wherever — they appear.
Discreet. Fast. Affordable. For those tired of stickers and waiting games, this may just be the new go-to in targeted blemish care. Discover more via theordinary.com.
