Blemish SOS™ 15ml

Skincare

€30,90

A rapid-action gel for one individual spot, not the whole face. Maximum strength salicylic acid (2%) clears the pore while the formula calms the visible redness around it. It dries invisible, so it works under or over makeup.

Ingredients

Full ingredients
Aqua (Water), Alcohol Denat., Isopentyldiol, Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Salicylic Acid, Octadecenedioic Acid, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Metabisulfite, Linalool, Limonene, Pinene, Terpineol, Beta-Caryophyllene, Terpinolene.

  • Salicylic acid 2% — a BHA that gets inside the pore and clears the oil and dead cells blocking it.
  • Niacinamide — calms redness and inflammation, so the blemish looks less angry while it heals.
  • Azelaic acid — antibacterial, targets the bacteria that feed a breakout, and helps fade the mark left behind.
  • Dioic acid — regulates oil production to stop the next one forming.

Fragrance free. Suitable for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin.

How to use

Use on clean, dry skin, morning or evening — or both if your skin tolerates it.

  • Cleanse and pat the skin dry.
  • Apply a thin layer directly onto the blemish, not the whole face.
  • Let it dry for 30 seconds — it turns invisible, so it sits happily under moisturiser or makeup.
  • Follow with your moisturiser and, in the morning, SPF 30 or higher.

Start once a day and build up. If the area feels tight or dry, drop back to alternate days. Avoid using it at the same time as a retinal or a strong exfoliating acid.

FAQ

How fast will I see a difference?
Most people see a blemish look visibly calmer within 24 hours. A deeper, under-the-skin spot takes two to three days.
Can I wear it under makeup?
Yes. It dries invisible in about 30 seconds — apply it first, then moisturiser, then makeup.
Can I use it with my retinal?
Not in the same routine. Use Blemish SOS in the morning and your retinal at night, or alternate evenings.
Is it for the whole face?
No, it is a targeted treatment. Apply it only on the blemish, otherwise you will dry out the skin around it.
Can I use it while pregnant?
Salicylic acid in a leave-on product is usually avoided in pregnancy. Speak to your doctor, and ask us about a pregnancy-safe alternative.

Clear. Calm. Gone.

A targeted overnight gel for the spot that turned up uninvited. Maximum-strength salicylic acid clears the pore while niacinamide and azelaic acid calm the redness around it, so the blemish shrinks instead of scarring.

Dries invisible in seconds, so it works under makeup and during the day — not just as a night-time patch.
