Anti-blemish cream: effective or not?

What could be more frustrating than having a nasty guest, showing up on your chin, cheek or forehead, when on top of that you've got an event planned and want to look your best? In this article, we won't deal with acne in general, but rather with pimples that can appear cyclically (linked to the hormonal cycle, for example). There are many local creams to apply to the pimple in question, promising to dry it out more quickly, reduce its appearance or even make it disappear very quickly. But are these promises kept? Not always, unfortunately, as is often the case when it comes to cosmetics and marketing promises. However, there are a multitude of anti-blemish solutions with excellent results!

A anti-blemish cream is designed to treat and prevent skin eruptions, often caused by acne or other skin conditions. These creams generally contain active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or retinoids, which help to reduce inflammation, unclog pores and reduce sebum production. For best results, it's essential to choose a cream suited to your skin type and the nature of your pimples. What's more, regular and correct use of these creams can not only help treat existing pimples, but also prevent the appearance of new ones, promoting clearer, healthier skin.

There's the Some by me lotion, which contains a small amount of exfoliating acid as well as essential oils. For those who are not necessarily fond of essential oils in cosmetics, there are other alternatives, such as The Inkey List's Succinic Acid Anti-Imperfection Care. Green in color and a little pasty in texture, the product itself is not the most pleasant. But the succinic acid in the formulation, alongside sulfur powder and salicylic acid, reduces excess sebum without drying out the skin, and helps unclog pores to prevent future breakouts. Hyaluronic acid also present, so as not to over-dry the skin. An excellent option.

What about anti-blemish patches?

Very much in vogue in South Korea, and it's easy to see why! Anti-acne patches are an excellent solution for dealing with a red pimple. Depending on the marques, they come in a variety of sizes and help to dry out and treat the pimple, protecting it from outside bacteria but also from the temptation to touch it, since if you touch your face with your fingers you'll only be touching the patch. All invisible, they often allow make-up to be added later for a perfectly natural look. For those less comfortable with the idea of going out with a patch, even transparent ones are perfect for use at night.

Some even feature micro-needles to diffuse the active ingredients deep into the skin, without leaving scars or piercing the pimple. This is the case, for example, with patches from Zitsticka, a specialist in anti-acne products. These are excellent patches, which really do treat the pimple completely. The downside, however, is their rather high price. Korean marquess offer packages of hydrocolloid patches that are much more economical, yet still effective. These include the famous COSRX and SOME BY MI patches.

Want to be sure you're doing everything you can to get rid of your pimple? Don't hesitate to try a pimple cream + patch combo! Guaranteed effect!
