Acne & Blemish Control
(9)Blemish Control and Targeted Spot Treatments
A small selection aimed at congestion and occasional breakouts: clarifying cleansers, targeted spot treatments, and lightweight non-comedogenic moisturisers. Brands currently in stock include Clinique, Collistar and Erno Laszlo.
Where do I start if my skin is breaking out?
With less, not more. Stripping skin with strong cleansers is the most common own-goal, because it triggers more oil rather than less. A gentle cleanser, a light moisturiser and one targeted product is the sensible base — changed one item at a time, so you can tell what is working.
What can cosmetic skincare actually do here?
It keeps skin clean, unclogged and comfortable, and that is what most occasional breakouts respond to. What it cannot do is treat acne — persistent or painful breakouts are a medical matter, and a GP or pharmacist can offer things no retailer is allowed to sell. Everything here is genuine sealed stock with UK returns, and where a product is a cleanser or a moisturiser rather than a targeted treatment, the listing says which it is.
