Key Benefits
- Fast-Acting
  The fast-acting formula works to target the appearance of blemishes at their core. Blemish hero salicylic acid focuses on reducing blemish-causing bacteria and controlling oil production within the skin.
- Flawless Complexion
  
  The dual-action formula helps to decongest blocked pores while calming the appearance of redness to promote a flawless, healthy looking complexion.
- Targeted Treatment
  Simply apply the quick-drying formula to clean skin, on its own or under make-up, to instantly target the look of individual blemishes or problem areas.
- Emergency Rescue
  
  Complete with a handbag-friendly tube, it can be used at home or on-the-go to see you through any skin emergency. Plus, it dries to create a completely clear film over the blemish, so you can use it underneath make-up to stop visible breakouts in their tracks.
How It Works
Blemishes come in many different forms, however the basic steps to their creation are always the same. Dead skin cells mix with sebum produced by the pores to form a plug. This leaves the perfect environment for blemish bacteria (C. acnes) to thrive, which leads to red and sore inflammation. Blemish SOS targets all of these contributing elements to help promote a flawless-looking complexion.
1. The targeted serum uses beta hydroxy acid (BHA) salicylic acid to help decongest pore blockages, which helps to loosen clumps of dead skin cells stuck in the pores.
2. Dioic acid is also useful for helping to reduce the amount of sebum our skin produces.
3. Antibacterial azelaic acid targets blemish-causing C. acnes.
4. Niacinamide calms visible redness and comforts the skin.
How To Use
1. After cleansing in the morning and/or evening, use a clean finger to apply a small amount of Blemish SOS as needed.
2. Rub in gently and allow to dry.
3. Slight tingling is normal.
4. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Refer to medik8.co/patch for an in-depth guide to patch testing.

Ingredients
2% Salicylic Acid
Decongesting and exfoliating from within the pore, salicylic acid breaks down the clogged oil and skin cells that can lead to blemishes.

Niacinamide
Otherwise known as vitamin B3, this soothing anti-inflammatory quickly reduces redness and irritation surrounding the blemish, while regulating sebum production to prevent blocked pores.

Azelaic Acid
With its potent antibacterial properties, azelaic acid targets blemish-causing bacteria such as P. acnes.

Dioic Acid
Able to control the amount of oil produced by the pores, dioic acid helps to declog and prevent future blemishes.
