Sebasorb is used to treat acne vulgaris, oily skin, and related skin conditions. It may also be used for seborrheic dermatitis and other conditions characterized by excess oil production on the skin.
Sebasorb contains sulfur as its active ingredient. It works as a keratolytic agent that helps reduce skin oiliness, promotes the shedding of dead skin cells, and has mild antibacterial properties. These combined actions help prevent pores from becoming clogged and reduce acne breakouts.
Sebasorb is for external use only and should be applied to clean, dry skin as directed by a healthcare provider. It may cause skin dryness, irritation, or peeling, especially when first starting treatment. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Patients with sulfur allergies should avoid this medication.
