# Sulfuric Blemish Pastes Vichy's Targeted Spot Treatment Dries Out Oil with Sulphur By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-06-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blemish-paste References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/brothers-all-natural-launches-savory-crunchy-harvester-farms-freeze-dried-sugar-snap-peas-with-salt-and-pepper-301070956.html) & [vichy](https://www.vichy.ca/) One of the newest products from [Vichy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melasyl) is an [anti-blemish paste](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapeutic-sulfur-mask) that's useful for boosting cell turnover and drying out excess oil. The targeted treatment is made with sulphur and it suits those with oily and acne-prone skin who want to visibly reduce the appearance of blemishes overnight. The Normaderm S.O.S Sulphur Paste from the French skincare brand not only contains 10% sulphur but also niacinamide and glycolic acid. Due to its nature, the product is best applied in the evening and the brand encourages consumers to "directly to the problem area and let the paste do the legwork." Although blemishes do pop up from time to time—often inopportune moments—people are concerned with getting them to disappear quickly and turn to fast-acting solutions as a remedy.
