Acne & Blemishes

Breakouts can happen at any age. Skincare with salicylic acid, niacinamide or azelaic acid helps keep pores clear and skin looking calmer, alongside a gentle cleanser, a light moisturiser and daily SPF. If your breakouts are persistent or painful, or are leaving scars, see your GP or a dermatologist.

Skin Concern FAQs

Which ingredient is best for blemish-prone skin?

Salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pore, so it suits blackheads and clogged pores. Niacinamide helps balance oily skin, and azelaic acid helps with blemishes and the marks they leave. Start with one and add others slowly.

What's the difference between a spot treatment and a spot patch?

A spot treatment is a gel or liquid you dab onto individual blemishes. A hydrocolloid patch sits over the spot, absorbing oil and impurities and stopping you from picking it.

When should I see a GP or dermatologist about acne?

If your breakouts are persistent, painful or deep under the skin, are leaving scars, or haven't improved after a couple of months of consistent skincare. Skincare helps keep skin clear, but it isn't a replacement for medical advice.
