Sulfacleanse
Sulfacleanse is a prescription topical cleanser combining sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur. Sodium sulfacetamide is an antibacterial agent that restricts the growth of acne-causing bacteria, while sulfur provides keratolytic and antiseborrheic actions to help dry and clear skin lesions. It is indicated for the control of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, and seborrheic dermatitis.
