The faster way to heal blemishes
Ask any dermatologist: When it comes to treating acne, playing the long game is the best way to achieve results. Diet changes, routine overhauls, and prescription medication can all lead to fewer breakouts and smoother skin. When a blemish appears, however, that strategy is usually deserted in favor of an immediate action. Resist the urge to pop or pick and reach for a spot treatment instead. They heal pimples faster by delivering a powerful dose of active ingredients to the acne lesion.
Spot treatments are not new to anyone who struggles with acne, but traditional formulas are often thick, white, or textured, making them suitable only for overnight use. However, there are products that can be applied during the day to covertly heal blemishes—and speed healing.
These treatments should only be used as needed, and should not replace an ongoing regimen of medication, moisturizer, and cleanser. You’re treating acne after it’s already reared its ugly head, not preventing pimples from forming. But when a quick fix is necessary, try one these products for a fast and discreet solution.
