I started using it once a day and with a good moisturizer I think that this is best. It will control oil and acne. However if you tend to have more dry skin I would use it every other day or once a week. No matter how much you use it, this product will do wonders for your skin!

I use it 2-3 times a week and it keeps my t-zone oil free for days

I personally use it once a week, however in the summer time when my skin gets more oily I can use it twice a week.

I have combination skin and applying it once a week seems to do the trick for me, but if you have oily skin I would recommend twice a week.

I use this every night, and a little goes a long way!

I've never tried DDF's sulfur mask, but I do know that Clinique's mask is oil-free and it would definitely work for someone with an oily skin type.
P.S. I hope this helps you! :)

I also have oily skin with slight acne. I switched from DDF to Clinique and thus far am happy. I find it works as well but clinique is slightly less drying to my skin. Also DDF product tended to dry out towards the end of the tub. It could always be reconstituted by sprinking a little water on it but.... I just thought the product might be better preserved in a tube rather than a tub. Plus, as you noted - it's cheaper. We all gotta economize. Try clinique and see if it doesn't work for you before you spend a little more on DDF.

I have mild acne as well so I thought I may give you my opinion. If you are looking for actual "oil control" I love this product. It works and well worth the money. I am going to be honest, I have not tried the other brand, but I didn't need to once I used this.

I honestly love this mask, you won't be disappointed. I have tried a sulfur mask, not DDS but trust me, it doesn't smell pretty and never worked well. It seemed to over dry my skin. Never did see a difference, only when I started using this product about a week ago, it works FAST. Also, you have oily skin, follow with Clinique's Moisture Surge Lotion. It's gel formulated which absorbs quickly and leaves your face feeling silky smooth instead of oily, I noticed it with my skin. Hope this helps a little but of course everyone reacts differently to different products.

The mask is probably better.

I actually leave this stuff on all night while I'm sleeping, and then I wake up and the pimple should be flatten out or greatly reduced. Sometimes it will get a little dry and flaky around the pimple area, but I don't care about that, I just want to get rid of the acne.

Typically I leave it on about 10 minutes. Sometimes I forget, but no harm done when I do.

It is a good size. I use it every week for about 2 months and still plenty in there.

The tube is about 15cm tall and holds a fair sized amount of the product. You don't need that much as the clay squeezes out pretty liquidy and solidifies thickly on your face.

The active ingredient is salicylic acid. It is a clay based mask. That is all the info that I have on it. Go to the clinique website and they might give more detailed info.

it is paraben free , but what is SLS? ,

I bought this in the actual store and they didn't count it toward my Skin Care Challenge total. Maybe online it is different, but it definitely doesn't count if you buy it in stores.
