Frequently Asked Questions

What is blemish-prone skin?

Blemish-prone skin is more likely to develop spots, blackheads, and breakouts due to excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. This skin type requires targeted skincare to help manage and prevent these issues.

What are the best skincare products for blemish-prone skin?

For blemish-prone skin, look for products containing ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, and retinoids, which help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and balance oil production. Medik8 offers a range of serums, cleansers, and creams designed specifically for spot-prone skin.

How can I prevent blemishes from appearing?

To prevent blemishes, it’s important to follow a consistent skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration. Use a blemish-fighting product to help reduce active spots and minimise future breakouts. Always remember to remove makeup before bed to keep pores clear.

What is the best blemish cream for the face?

Medik8's Blemish SOS is a fast-acting clarifying gel designed to reduce the size and redness of blemishes. It's formulated with salicylic acid to unclog pores and calm inflammation, making it an excellent cream for spot-prone areas of the face.

Can blemish creams be used daily?

Yes, many blemish creams can be used daily. However, targeted products like Medik8's Blemish SOS are best applied only to active blemishes. For an overall skincare solution, opt for a lightweight serum or moisturiser designed for blemish-prone skin to keep pores clear and prevent new spots.

How do I treat blemish-prone skin without irritating it?

For blemish-prone skin, it's important to use gentle, non-comedogenic products that won’t clog pores or strip the skin of essential moisture. 

Medik8's Clarifying Foam and Balance Moisturiser are designed to treat blemishes while being kind to sensitive skin, preventing overdrying or irritation.

Can I use a blemish cream with other skin care products?

Yes, you can use blemish creams alongside other skincare products. For best results, layer them after cleansing and before moisturising. Be cautious when combining it with different active ingredients like exfoliating acids or retinoids to avoid overloading the skin.

What are the best ingredients for treating blemish-prone skin?

The best ingredients for blemish-prone skin include salicylic acid, which exfoliates inside the pores; niacinamide, which reduces oil production and inflammation; and retinoids, which help to increase cell turnover and prevent clogged pores. 

Medik8's products for blemish-prone skin include these powerful ingredients.

Can blemish-prone skin be a sign of other skin conditions?

Some conditions like hormonal imbalances, stress, or diet can contribute to blemish-prone skin. If you notice persistent breakouts, it's worth consulting with a dermatologist to rule out any underlying health issues.

How long will it take to see results with blemish products?

Results vary depending on the severity of the blemishes and the products used, but typically, you should start to see improvements within 1-2 weeks of consistent use.
