Medik8 - Blemish SOS

Visibly reduce blemishes in as little as 24 hours* with the Blemish SOS treatment gel. This fast and effective gel reduces blemishes without drying the skin and is completely invisible. Dual-action salicylic acid and soothing niacinamide cleanse pores and calm inflammation. The fast-acting product also contains azelaic acid, which fights bacteria that cause blemishes, and dioic acid, which helps regulate excessive oil production. Apply Blemish SOS treatment gel locally on blemishes before moisturizer. You can then add suitable products to your skin. 

Blemishes come in different types, yet their formation is always due to the same reason. Dead skin cells mix with sebum produced by the pores, forming a blockage in the pore. This provides the perfect environment for harmful bacteria (P. acnes) to form, leading to inflamed and painful pimples. Blemish SOS prevents these factors, maintaining healthy and clear skin. The gel's salicylic acid helps remove blockages and sheds dead, clogging skin cells from the pores. Dioic acid regulates sebum and oil secretion on the skin and prevents pore blockages. The product's antibacterial azelaic acid and niacinamide reduce, calm, and prevent inflammation on the skin.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Salicylic Acid – Exfoliates and cleanses clogged pores. Salicylic acid breaks down oil and cell build-up that cause pimples.

Niacinamide  – Also known as vitamin B3. This calming and anti-inflammatory active ingredient quickly reduces redness and irritation caused by blemishes while strengthening the skin's natural barrier. It also balances sebum production, preventing pore blockages. 

Azelaic acid  – A powerful antibacterial active ingredient that destroys bacteria causing blemishes such as P. acnes.

Dioic acid  – Regulates oil production in the pores, opens clogged pores, and prevents the formation of blemishes.

Blemish SOS is the perfect product when an unwanted pimple or impurity appears on your skin. This lightweight, pleasantly scented, fast-absorbing gel immediately cleanses clogged pores. It contains salicylic acid, which reduces inflammation and prevents the formation of blockages deep within the pores. The gel is enhanced with calming and nurturing niacinamide. The product is completely clear and leaves no marks on the skin. Suitable for use locally as needed or daily on impure and inflamed skin.
