Medik8 Blemish SOS 15ml — 2% Salicylic Acid Spot Treatment

Powered by 2% salicylic acid (BHA), niacinamide, azelaic acid, and dioic acid, this advanced formula provides targeted care for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin.

At the heart of the formula is 2% salicylic acid, an oil-soluble exfoliating ingredient that penetrates the pores to help remove excess sebum and dead skin cell buildup, reducing the appearance of breakouts and congestion.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps visibly calm redness and irritation surrounding blemishes while supporting the skin's natural protective barrier and balancing excess oil production.

Azelaic acid provides antibacterial benefits, helping target blemish-associated bacteria and support a clearer-looking complexion.

Dioic acid helps regulate excess sebum, reduce pore congestion, and minimise the appearance of future imperfections.

The lightweight, transparent gel dries quickly and becomes virtually invisible on the skin, making it suitable for use under or over makeup.

Its compact packaging makes it ideal for targeted blemish care at home, while travelling, or throughout the day.

With regular use, individual blemishes appear less noticeable, redness looks calmer, and the complexion appears clearer and more balanced.
