pHformula SPOT ON blemish active - 20 ml

A gel to apply to a single spot: a pimple that is emerging or has just appeared, and that you want gone as quickly as possible.

Why it works

The habit of drying out an emerging pimple with alcohol or toothpaste is counterproductive: you damage the surrounding skin and keep the red mark visible for even longer. This contains salicylic acid, which dissolves in sebum and thus reaches into the clogged pore to clear it. Azelaic acid and mandelic acid work on the surface and on the discoloration that remains afterward, tea tree oil keeps the spot clean, and panthenol with glycyrrhetinic acid keeps the surrounding skin calm.

The texture is a clear gel that dries to an invisible film that you can apply makeup over.

For whom

For those who occasionally get a single pimple and want to target it: the bump you feel coming on in the morning, the spot on your chin right before your period, or the red mark that just won't go away. Also for those who otherwise have calm, rather dry skin: this is a product for a single spot and not for the entire face, so you don't have to change your routine for it.

How to use it

A thin layer on the spot itself, one to three times a day, on cleansed dry skin and before your cream. The detail almost everyone gets wrong: applying a thick blob in the hope that it will work faster. You will then get a dry, flaky patch that is more visible than the pimple itself. So, a thin layer, exactly on the bump and not beyond it.

What I would like to share with you

The best time is the evening when you feel it coming but don't see anything yet. That is when you most often save yourself a day or two. If the pimple already has a head on it, count on three to four days until it is flat, and longer for the red mark to disappear. And the sentence I repeat most often in the treatment room: don't pop it. What you pop in ten seconds costs you six weeks of the dark spot that remains afterward. Those who skip doing that once usually never become a popper again.
