Directions

How To Use

Application: After cleansing in the morning and/or evening, use a clean finger to apply a small amount of Blemish SOS™ directly to individual blemishes or problem areas. One drop is sufficient for a single blemish.

Frequency: Can be used once or twice daily as needed. For those new to salicylic acid or with sensitive skin, start with once-daily application and observe skin response.

Timing: Apply after cleansing and before other serums or moisturisers. Can be used morning and/or evening.

Layering: In the morning: Apply after cleansing, follow with vitamin C serum and sunscreen. In the evening: Apply after cleansing and toning, follow with vitamin A treatment (such as Crystal Retinal) and moisturiser. Can be applied under or over makeup once dried.

Expert Tips: Rub product in gently and allow to dry completely. Slight tingling upon application is normal and indicates the active ingredients are working. Do not apply to broken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised.

FAQ

FAQ

Q: How quickly will I see results with Blemish SOS™?
A: Many users report visible reduction in blemish appearance within 24 hours of application. The fast-acting formula begins working immediately upon application, with salicylic acid penetrating into pores to target blemishes at their core. However, individual results may vary depending on blemish severity and skin type. For optimal results, consistent application as needed is recommended.

Q: Can I use Blemish SOS™ if I have sensitive skin?
A: Yes, Blemish SOS™ is formulated to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The inclusion of soothing niacinamide and glycerin helps to offset potential irritation from the active ingredients. However, those with very sensitive skin or those new to salicylic acid should start with once-daily application to assess tolerance. We recommend conducting a patch test before first use. Speak to our skincare experts for personalised guidance on incorporating this treatment into a sensitive skin routine.

Q: Can I apply makeup over Blemish SOS™?
A: Absolutely. One of the key benefits of Blemish SOS™ is its completely invisible, fast-drying formula. Once the product has dried (typically within a few minutes), makeup can be applied seamlessly over the top. The lightweight gel creates an undetectable film that won't interfere with makeup application or cause pilling. This makes it ideal for daytime use when you need to address blemishes whilst maintaining your normal beauty routine.

Q: How does Blemish SOS™ differ from Press & Clear™?
A: Both products contain maximum strength 2% salicylic acid; however, they serve different purposes in a blemish-care routine. Press & Clear™ is a daily toner designed for overall complexion clarity and prevention, whilst Blemish SOS™ is a targeted spot treatment for individual blemishes. For those new to salicylic acid or with sensitive skin, we recommend using only one product per routine. More experienced users may layer Blemish SOS™ after Press & Clear™ for intensive blemish targeting. Speak to our experts for personalised layering advice.

Q: Can I use this product with vitamin A treatments or retinoids?
A: Yes, Blemish SOS™ can be incorporated into a routine that includes vitamin A treatments such as Crystal Retinal. In the evening, apply Blemish SOS™ after cleansing, then follow with your vitamin A treatment and moisturiser. Both salicylic acid and vitamin A work to address blemish concerns through different mechanisms, making them complementary in a comprehensive skincare routine. However, if you experience sensitivity, consider alternating usage or consulting our skincare experts for guidance.

Medik8 Blemish SOS | Rapid Action Spot Treatment | 15ml

£22.99 £25.00

Product Overview - Medik8 Blemish SOS™ | Rapid Action Spot Treatment | 15ml


Medik8 Blemish SOS™ is a professional-grade rapid action spot treatment gel expertly formulated to target individual blemishes with precision and speed. This targeted treatment features maximum strength Salicylic Acid (2%) combined with soothing Niacinamide, antibacterial Azelaic Acid, and sebum-regulating Octadecenedioic Acid to address blemishes at their core whilst remaining completely invisible on the skin.

Designed for blemish-prone, oily, and combination skin types, this fast-drying formula works efficiently both at home and on-the-go, making it the perfect emergency rescue treatment. The lightweight gel texture sinks effortlessly into skin without leaving residue, allowing seamless application under or over makeup. Our experts recommend this clinically-proven formulation for those seeking a professional solution to occasional breakouts or persistent blemish concerns.

Key Benefits at a Glance:

Immediate Benefits:
Long-Term Benefits:

With consistent use, Blemish SOS™ helps to maintain a clearer, healthier-looking complexion by addressing the root causes of blemish formation. The exfoliating action of salicylic acid works continuously to prevent pore congestion whilst antibacterial azelaic acid reduces the presence of blemish-causing bacteria over time. Regular application supports balanced sebum production, helping to create an environment less conducive to breakouts.

The formulation's gentle yet effective approach ensures that skin remains comfortable throughout treatment, with niacinamide supporting skin barrier function and promoting overall skin resilience. Over time, users may notice improved skin texture, reduced pore visibility, and fewer blemish occurrences as the targeted actives work to restore balance to blemish-prone complexions.

How will it feel on my Skin?

The lightweight gel texture absorbs rapidly into skin with a slightly cooling sensation upon application. A mild tingling may be experienced initially, which indicates the active ingredients are working effectively. The formula dries quickly to create a completely clear, invisible film that feels comfortable on skin without tightness or dryness. Once absorbed, the treatment remains undetectable, making it ideal for daytime use under makeup or as an overnight intensive treatment.
