Beyond the Blemish: Fading Dark Spots in 4 Weeks
If you've ever struggled with skin blemishes, you'll know that the battle doesn't always end once the blemish itself has healed. The aftermath can often mean stubborn post-blemish marks that seem to linger long after the blemish has gone away. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone, and there is a solution that can help fade dark spots from blemishes and restore your skin's natural clarity.
Our New Salicylic Acid Duo
We've launched two products that not only work to quickly calm and treat blemishes, but also help to fade marks and dark spots left by blemishes on the skin surface. First up, meet our Expertly Clear Blemish-Treating & Preventing Lotion. This unique hydrating blemish treatment lotion with 1.2% Salicylic Acid is specifically formulated to rapidly clear blemishes, fade post-blemish marks, and help to prevent future breakouts. Plus, our Truly Targeted Blemish-Clearing Solution, the invisible liquid blemish patch with 2% Salicylic Acid is carefully formulated to help calm blemish colour, reduce blemish size, and fade post-blemish marks. Together they make a powerful mark fading team! Let's take a deep dive into both:
Expertly Clear Blemish-Treating & Preventing Lotion
Concentrated with 1.2% Salicylic Acid, 2% Niacinamide, Postbiotic Lactobacillus Ferment and Glycerin, this all-over daily blemish treatment visibly clears blemishes and works to reinforce the skin barrier too. Salicylic Acid is known for its ability to clear pore-clogging oil and debris and to help regulate oil production, reducing the likelihood of future breakouts. Niacinamide also works to regulate oil production and helps to improve the strength of the skin barrier – particularly useful for blemish-prone skin which can be more susceptible to irritation. Niacinamide also helps to assist in fading acne scars and marks. While Postbiotic Lactobacillus Ferment is a fermented ingredient that works to support the skin's natural microbiome.
Truly Targeted Blemish-Clearing Solution
Our innovative invisible liquid blemish patch with 2% Salicylic Acid, 4% Niacinamide and 0.2% Liquorice Root is specifically formulated to help calm blemish colour, reduce blemish size, and crucially fade post-blemish marks. The invisible liquid is applied directly to the blemish and forms an invisible, breathable seal which works to rapidly clear blemishes, calm visible redness and fade post-blemish marks. Use it when you have a blemish to clear it quickly or apply to post blemish marks for targeted fading.
A Skincare Routine To Fade Blemish Marks
STEP # 1 - Cleanse
Choose a gentle cleanser such as our Ultra Facial Cleanser, which is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and blemish-prone skin. Whatever your skin concerns, it's essential to cleanse every morning and evening to prepare the top layer of skin for further products and to help remove damaging debris and bacteria.
STEP # 2 - Exfoliate
A build-up of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin can lead to dull skin and this build-up makes skin more likely to have visible post-blemish marks. Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead cells, revealing a brighter, more even skin tone and can improve the look of visible blemish marks. Try Rare Earth Deep Pore-Minimizing & Polishing Powder with its blend of renewable Alpha-Hydroxy Acid and Micro-Crystalline Cellulose Grains – it helps to resurface texture irregularities to smooth imperfections and revitalise skin.
STEP # 3 - Hydrate
Our Expertly Clear Blemish-Treating & Preventing Lotion is an effective treatment and daily hydrator that helps to keep blemishes at bay and fade post-blemish marks, while working to prevent future breakouts. Apply lotion either all over the face or just in affected areas, use consistently for 4 weeks to fade post-blemish marks. If your skin feels dry or in need of extra nourishment, wait a couple of minutes, before applying a thin layer of Ultra Facial Cream.
STEP # 4 - Treat
When you have a blemish that needs to go fast, apply a small amount of Truly Targeted Blemish-Clearing Solution directly to the blemish, it will form an invisible, breathable seal. Let it dry and it will get to work calming the blemish in as little as 2 hours. It can also be applied to blemish marks after the blemish has gone, apply daily for 4-6 weeks until the mark has faded from the skin surface.
STEP # 5 - Sun Protection
The sun's rays don't discriminate when it comes to skin type and will cause premature ageing whether you have dry skin, blemish-prone skin or any skin type at all. Wearing a broad-spectrum, high SPF sunscreen will help to protect you from visible damage such as dark spots, rough texture, fine lines, and wrinkles. Our Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Aqua Gel SPF 50 PA++++ offers powerful daily protection plus the light gel texture is comfortable and it's non-comedogenic, so won't clog pores.
