In a bid to rid yourself of pesky blemishes, it’s easy to parch your skin, triggering an overproduction of oil and even more spots. It’s a tragic cycle, and the Succinic Acid Blemish Treatment is here to help you stop it.

Non-drying (thank you, hyaluronic acid!) and easily-absorbed so that you don’t feel greasy, this treatment is formulated for all, but best for blemish-prone complexions in a crisis. It works by gently exfoliating dead skin cells and reducing excess oil without stripping skin. 2% succinic acid (a bio-based chemical that’s derived from corn) works to physically reduce the size of your blemishes, while 1% salicylic acid unclogs pores, exfoliates and calms. 0.4% hyaluronic acid then swoops in and saves the day by reintroducing the skin to moisture in a good way. The result? Spots are cleared – fast.

Clean the skin thoroughly before applying this product.

Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer, one to three times a day.

So that you don’t shock your skin with drying ingredients, begin with one application per day, then gradually increase to two to three times daily if needed.

THE INKEY LIST’s aim is simple: break through beauty jargon to deliver a straightforward take on the most-wanted ingredients in skin care. Enter: the Succinic Acid Blemish Treatment – a blemish-busting, purse-friendly answer to pore perfection. With a powerful, complexion-clearing trio – of salicylic acid, succinic acid and hyaluronic acid, no less – working in harmony to ward off blemishes, spots are reduced in size and future breakouts are prevented. Say hello to calmer, clearer skin.
