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.
-
Antibacterial azelaic acid targets blemish-causing C. acnes.
-
Niacinamide: calms visible redness and comforts the skin.
Results
The appearance of imperfections are minimised and visible redness is calmed. Skin is left feeling decongested and looking clearer.
