For adult acne sufferers, QMS Medicosmetics' {Med Set} is a trio of resurfacing, collagen-stimulating all-stars - which gently exfoliate the dulling dead cells which contribute to breakouts, without irritating delicate, easily upset complexions. A skin care innovation, this is one of very few treatments which control blemishes while actively anti-ageing, to transform the fortunes of lacklustre, blemish-prone skins.
From South Korean brand CosRx, comes this pioneering remedy for blots on an otherwise flawless visage. {Blackhead Silk Finger Balls} are innovative, 100% silk 'cocoons', which you pop on index fingers to eliminate pore-clogging sebum, and the grime that accumulates and contributes to blackheads around the nose and chin. Silk naturally exfoliates without ruffling skin's feathers, to leave your face virtually poreless!
Payot - beloved by French women (and their secret to flawless visages) - wage a two-pronged attack on unwelcome uprisings. The brand's {Pâte Grise} smells and looks like cement, but the antibacterial shale extract helps draw out embedded impurities, to speed up Mt. Etna's life cycle. Use in conjunction with {Spéciale 5} - a pimple-punishing cocktail of salicylic acid, tea tree and purifying sulphur - to quickly clear up imperfections, with minimal redness and no tell-tale trace.
And if your skin's having an episode, blitz problem patches with Peter Thomas Roth's {Acne Spot & Area Treatment} - with glycolic and salicylic acids to rid your skin of dead skin cells and residue (the perfect breeding ground for acne bacteria), alongside soothing aloe vera, conditioning vitamins C and E and 1% Trikenol (a reparative blend of manuka and willow), to quash spots and recover skin clarity. Cleanse using Cor's {Silver Soap} which stars nano-silver - to eliminate impurities and prevent bacteria from multiplying, so stressed-skin is quickly restored to its beautiful, blemish-free best.
