Designed especially for spot-prone or acne-prone skin, this gel aims to reduce the size and redness of pimples and blemishes within hours, while helping skin appear clearer, smoother and more balanced. Its light texture makes it easy to apply directly to problem areas without leaving greasy or heavy residue, making it suitable for use even under makeup or during the day.

Apply the gel directly onto the blemish or spot-prone area, ideally on clean and dry skin. It can be used both in the morning and in the evening. Because the gel absorbs quickly and remains invisible on skin, it’s often used before makeup or under other skincare. Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply on irritated or broken skin. If irritation or excessive dryness appears, reduce usage or discontinue. With consistent use, the gel helps purify clogged pores, reduce excess oil and can visibly reduce the size and redness of spots within hours.
