Salicylic Acid (2%)
Exfoliates and decongests from within the pore to break down clogged oil and dead skin cells that can lead to blemishes.
Niacinamide
Also known as vitamin B3, it boasts anti-inflammatory properties to visibly calm blemish-induced irritation while hydrating and supporting the skin's natural barrier.
Azelaic Acid
With powerful antibacterial properties, it helps to target blemish-causing bacteria and prevent blemishes from forming.
Dioic Acid
Helps to decongest and control the amount of excess oil the pores produce, in order to help prevent future blemishes and imperfections.
Step 1
After cleansing in the morning and/or evening, use a clean finger to apply a small amount as needed.
Step 2
Rub in gently and allow to dry. Slight tingling is normal.
How do I use Blemish SOS?
Apply 2-3 drops to clean, dry skin before moisturiser. Gently press into the face and neck, allowing full absorption before layering other products.
How does salicylic acid help with breakouts?
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, meaning it penetrates into pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells. This makes it highly effective for blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammatory acne. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help calm redness.
Will this cause purging or breakouts?
Products with active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, or BHAs may cause a temporary purging phase as they accelerate cell turnover. This typically lasts 4-6 weeks and differs from a breakout — purging occurs in areas where you normally get spots and resolves on its own.
What is the Medik8 CSA Philosophy?
Medik8 is built around the CSA Philosophy: vitamin C in the morning, Sunscreen every day, and vitamin A (retinol) at night. This three-step framework addresses the most evidence-backed pillars of skin health — antioxidant protection, UV defence, and cellular renewal.
