Best Cleanser for Rosacea: Sulfur Wash
For papulopustular rosacea, sulfur cleansers are highly effective.
I was prescribing sulfur wash to ~25% of my patients, but many struggled with smell and inconsistent formulations. I created a better option:
-
Consistent formulation
-
Less irritation
-
Reduced sulfur smell
