jon Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 does a product that contains more sulfur means its gonna be more effective against acne? like for instance, one of your bars (the coral kavi one) has 2% colloidal sulfur and the aqua bar has 1%. is 2% colloidal sulfur gonna be more drying than the aqua bar? is 2% more effective against acne than 1% colloidal sulfur? is 1% colloidal sulfur basically the same as 5% precipitated sulfur? i notice your acne lotion has only 6.6% precipitated sulfur, why only 6.6 and not 10%? i reckon 10% sulfur is more drying, but has it been proven if more sulfur is better than sulfur at lower percentages? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAVI Support Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 More sulfur does increase the potency of an anti-acne product, however it does also increase the chances of dryness. Coral KAVI is better-suited for treating acne on oily or combination skin. For acne-prone skin that is naturally dry (without the use of antiseborrheics), Aqua KAVI would be a better choice. 1% colloidal sulfur has the same potency as 5% precipitated sulfur. Even though it is more expensive to manufacture, we use colloidal sulfur because it improves the olfactory experience of the product. We use less sulfur in the suspension because that product is intended to remain on the skin, and even for very oily skin, the maximum dosage (at 10%) can result in dryness.
