If there’s one thing most of us can agree on, it’s that pimples have a way of showing up at the worst possible time. Whether it’s a big meeting or a night out, surprise breakouts don’t wait. Luckily, The Ordinary is making sure your skin doesn’t have to either.
The cult-favourite skincare brand has just unveiled a game-changing new product in Singapore — Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate. This innovative spot treatment is designed to visibly reduce the appearance of blemishes in as little as one hour, offering fast-acting relief in a handy, mess-free format.
The global demand for blemish treatments has soared over the past five years, with no signs of slowing. From pimple patches to drying lotions, there’s no shortage of options. But what consumers are really after are results they can see — and fast. While The Ordinary already has breakout-busting products like its cult Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, this latest launch fills a key gap in the range: immediate, on-the-spot treatment.
This new Sulfur 10% solution is a portable powerhouse that takes the brand’s science-backed approach to a whole new level. Unlike traditional gels or pastes, this treatment begins as a powder and transforms into a light cream when applied with the fingers. It’s discreet, efficient, and ideal for use anytime and anywhere — from the privacy of your bathroom to the middle of your commute.
How It Works
As its name suggests, the star of the show is 10% Sulfur, a tried-and-tested ingredient known for calming redness and regulating oil production. What’s different here is the delivery system. The powder format not only keeps the formulation more stable but also makes application simple and travel-friendly. Once applied with light pressure, the powder turns into a smooth cream that blends into your skin without leaving a trace.
In fact, invisibility is one of its biggest advantages over pimple patches, which — no matter how clear — are still visible. This formulation uses colloidal sulfur with smaller particles to reduce odour and ensure a near-invisible finish, all without compromising on performance.
Don’t be fooled by the size. This tiny bottle punches well above its weight. According to the brand, just one 7g container of Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate delivers the equivalent of over 150 pimple patches, making it not only an effective alternative but a more cost-efficient one too.
Retailing at S$19, it offers a level of accessibility and affordability that continues to define The Ordinary’s ethos: science-backed skincare without the luxury price tag.
Who Is It For?
Ideal for those prone to occasional flare-ups or recurring blemishes, this spot treatment fits seamlessly into any skincare routine. It’s suitable for sensitive skin and doesn’t clash with most other products — although it’s best not to layer it with other targeted spot treatments to avoid irritation.
Compact enough to fit into your pocket or makeup pouch, this is the kind of SOS solution every skincare lover should have on standby.
The Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate is now available in Singapore at The Ordinary’s official website and through Sephora Singapore.
