Sulfacetamide and sulfur topical cleanser is a prescription antibiotic and keratolytic wash used to treat acne, rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis. Sulfacetamide works by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria, while sulfur helps remove flaking skin, reduce scaling, and smooth rough areas. Together, these ingredients target both the bacterial and skin surface factors contributing to these conditions.
This medicated cleanser can help reduce breakouts, calm redness, and improve skin texture when used as part of a regular skincare routine.
