Frequently Asked Questions

How and when should I apply Blemish SOS?
Blemish SOS can be used morning or night, as well as at home or on the go. After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount as needed. Rub in gently then allow to dry. Blemish SOS can be applied under or over makeup.
Can I use Blemish SOS while pregnant or breastfeeding?
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy. We would recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. As general guidance, this product does not contain any ingredients which we would recommend to avoid during pregnancy, unless advised by your doctor.
Can I use Blemish SOS alongside Press & Clear?
Both products contain high-strength 2% salicylic acid, so for those new to salicylic acid or those with sensitive skin, we would recommend to only apply one per regime. If you are more experienced with salicylic acid and looking to boost results, you can apply Blemish SOS after Press & Clear.
