My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Byoma Blemish Clearing Paste is primarily intended for skin prone to blemishes, excess sebum, and residual acne scars. In my professional opinion, this Byoma product effectively targets pimples, blackheads, and minor skin inflammations thanks to a formula designed to regulate, repair, and soothe. The paste texture, typical of localized treatments, allows for concentrated action on the areas to be treated, while limiting overall drying of the skin.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Salicylic acid : This beta hydroxy acid penetrates pores to deeply exfoliate, unclog, and limit the formation of new blemishes. Its keratolytic action is known to reduce inflammation and accelerate the disappearance of pimples.
• Kaolin This gentle clay absorbs excess sebum and impurities while soothing irritation. It helps to mattify the skin and limit bacterial proliferation.
• Bakuchiol : A plant-based alternative to retinol, it promotes cell renewal without irritating effects, while helping to reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and strengthen the skin barrier.

The presence of ceramides and Centella asiatica completes the formula by supporting skin repair and limiting dehydration, which is beneficial for skin weakened by anti-blemish treatments.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this paste locally, preferably in the evening, to areas with imperfections, after cleansing. It can be used in combination with moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, ceramides), but it is best to avoid combining it with other powerful exfoliants (AHAs, retinoids) to limit the risk of irritation. Sunscreen is recommended the following morning.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

Byoma Blemish Clearing Paste stands out for its multifunctional approach: it fights blemishes, soothes the skin, and supports the skin barrier. Its paste texture is practical for targeted use. The only possible downside is the presence of camphor and benzyl alcohol, which may irritate very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an effective, well-designed local treatment for acne-prone skin.
