The Best Blemish Treatments

Breakouts that refuse to budge, stubborn blackheads, enlarged pores or a T-zone that’s a little too shiny: blemishes certainly have a knack for showing up at the worst possible time. Luckily, the latest skincare launches are full of clever ways to get your skin back on track. From zinc-based treatments and simplified routines to dietary supplements and beauty-tech devices, here are the new allies to add to your routine for clearer-looking skin—without turning your bathroom into a dermatologist’s office.

Breakouts may be tiny, but myBlend is declaring war on them with technology worthy of a mini lab. Available from September 8, the myBLEMISHpen is a new at-home device designed to target blemishes. Its technology is based on photobiomodulation, combining blue light, red light and micro-vibrations. Inspired by dermatological protocols, the device is designed to target breakouts and redness using non-invasive technology. The brand claims to deliver visible results from the very first use and, with regular use, more even and balanced-looking skin. A way to dip into beauty tech without having to book a dermatologist appointment every time a new breakout appears.

When breakouts start getting a little too comfortable, La Rosée turns to a zinc-based routine designed to purify the skin while keeping it comfortable. The ritual starts with a cleansing gel, followed by a purifying serum, and ends with a cucumber moisturizing gel-cream for soft, perfectly hydrated skin. A simple way to tackle minor skin concerns without skipping hydration. And because a blemish always seems to appear right before a date or dinner, the brand also has a quick-fix solution: its refillable tinted blemish-correcting stick. It conceals and treats in one easy swipe, so you can simply get on with your day.

With Antipodes, there’s no need to pile on ten different products to care for blemish-prone skin. The brand offers a three-step ritual: a cleansing gel to remove impurities, a serum designed to target blemishes, and a nighttime gel-cream to work its magic while you sleep. A short, easy-to-follow routine that fits seamlessly into everyday life, especially for anyone who prefers to let active ingredients do the work rather than layer product after product in front of the mirror. The kind of ritual that lets you go to bed with just one mission: give your skin a chance to breathe.

At Aroma-Zone, the focus goes beyond what you see in the mirror. The brand has created an In & Out routine that combines targeted skincare with dietary supplements to support blemish-prone skin from the inside out. In the bathroom, the routine includes a gentle cleansing gel, a concentrated serum and a lightweight cream, featuring niacinamide, zinc and salicylic acid to help reduce excess sebum, improve the appearance of blemishes and soothe redness. And because skincare isn’t always just about what goes into your beauty cabinet, the routine is completed with dietary supplements designed to take a more holistic approach. The perfect combo for anyone who wants to keep things simple while thinking big.

Because you can have the best serum in the world and still wake up to an unexpected breakout, Skin & Out suggests supporting your routine from within. Its duo of dietary supplements, designed to be taken over three months, is aimed at those looking to prevent and soothe acne in a different way. A little extra boost to complement gels, serums and all your other bathroom staples, helping you tackle the issue from every angle.
