Panic bought this ointment from the Singapore airport on my way to my cousin's wedding a few months ago. I had a pimple that was so stubborn and inflamed, but consistently using this cleared it up 2-3 days..
Since I got back home, I've also compared it against my other acne treatments. It's a sulfur-based, so typically drying and works best for oily skin types. Don't use with a moisturizer, it forms a thin film on your pimple and you can just wash it away in a few hours. It also has zinc oxide and calamine lotion, so it's soothes inflammation. Consistency is medium-thick and a bit grainy, but I don't mind.
I had a cystic acne flare recently and this was one the best treatments that I tried. I paired it with a benzyl peroxide wash and let it sit in the evening. Then I washed it off before bed and followed my usual night routine with hydrocolloid patches. Worked like a charm!
