Key Ingredients:
Salicylic Acid (2%)
Exfoliating and decongesting from within the pore, this BHA breaks down any clogged oil and skin cells that can contribute to blemishes and enlarged pores.

Blemish SOS Gel
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Probably the only anti-blemsh product that actually works on my hormonak skin. I tried loads of different breakouts poducts and this one is definitely a winner. It's a clear gel and it smells like a pain relief ointment but it's tolerable, dries pretty slowly though, I must admit, and is very potent! Therefore after some trials I decided it's better to use it as the last step of my bed-time routine over the moisturizer and very precisely on the spots otherwise it might literally burn the skin. It's peeling like crazy next day but there will be no redness, itching or a visible scarring in the morning. 2-3 night applications and the red bump just vanishes. It's a wonderful product if you figure out how to use it properly.

The best blemish treatment!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried many products for reducing blemishes and this is by far the best. It helps soothe and reduce redness overnight, and can be used under makeup. This is my go to treatment as soon as I feel a breakout.

A must have product if you ever get blemishes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only product that works as soon as I feel a blemish coming. It is my go-to and I have to replace it before I run out so I'm never without it.

Doesn’t work
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first medik8 product I haven't liked! This didn't do anything for me other than dry out my skin, leaving flakes and spots rather than just spots. Got better results from supermarket spot creams for teenagers.

This is alright but tbf
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is alright but tbf I hadn’t noticed a difference. And I feel like a clearasil one would do the same for a fraction of the price . Odd as I love the other products
