DESCRIPTION
This rapid action treatment features maximum strength salicylic acid (2%), which works quickly to diminish the appearance of blemishes while remaining completely invisible on the skin.
KEY BENEFITS
Fast-Acting: The fast-acting formula works to target the appearance of blemishes at their core. Blemish hero salicylic acid focuses on reducing blemish-causing bacteria and controlling oil production within the skin.
Flawless Complexion: The dual-action formula helps to decongest blocked pores while calming the appearance of redness to promote a flawless, healthy looking complexion.
Targeted Treatment: Simply apply the quick-drying formula to clean skin, on its own or under make-up, to instantly target the look of individual blemishes or problem areas.
Emergency Rescue: Complete with a handbag-friendly tube, it can be used at home or on-the-go to see you through any skin emergency. Plus, it dries to create a completely clear film over the blemish, so you can use it underneath make-up to stop visible breakouts in their tracks.
HOW IT WORKS
Blemishes come in many different forms, however the basic steps to their creation are always the same. Dead skin cells mix with sebum produced by the pores to form a plug. This leaves the perfect environment for blemish bacteria (C. acnes) to thrive, which leads to red and sore inflammation. Blemish SOS targets all of these contributing elements to help promote a flawless-looking complexion.
The targeted serum uses beta hydroxy acid (BHA) salicylic acid to help decongest pore blockages, which helps to loosen clumps of dead skin cells stuck in the pores.
Dioic acid is also useful for helping to reduce the amount of sebum our skin produces.
Niacinamide calms visible redness and comforts the skin.
