Blemished skin
These skincare products are specially suited to blemish-prone skin and help the skin regain its natural balance.
With daily use morning and evening, the complexion can look calmer and more balanced over time, while the skin appears cared for and visibly refined in the long term.
Clarifying and soothing ingredients help to reduce the appearance of blemishes and promote a more even, harmonious complexion.
You can find more on individual ingredients (niacinamide, zinc PCA, azelaic acid and more) and what the research really shows in our guide to blemish-prone skin. The matching complete routine is the Clear Skin Set.

Skincare for blemished skin: gentle but consistent
Blackheads, spots and enlarged pores form when sebum and dead skin cells clog the pores. Blemished skin isn't a fixed skin type but a condition – and it can be influenced. What works best isn't an aggressive treatment but a mild routine you stick to every day.
Your routine in 5 steps
Morning
- The Facial Cleanser – mild lactic acid loosens dead skin cells that clog pores
- The Hyaluronic Toner – soothes with chamomile
- The Hydrating Serum – hydration without oil
- The Glowy Gel – light gel with aloe vera and zinc PCA
- The Sun Kiss SPF 30 – so marks left by spots don't darken
Evening
- The Facial Cleanser – thoroughly, so sunscreen and sebum don't stay in the pores overnight
- The Hyaluronic Toner
- The Hydrating Serum
- The Eye Care – for the eye area
- The Glowy Gel – as light night care
Which care suits your skin?
Blackheads & large pores
Cleanse morning and evening with the Facial Cleanser and don't squeeze. Regular cleansing loosens blackheads over time.
Inflamed spots
Don't squeeze, or marks and scars may remain. The Glowy Gel soothes. For deep, painful inflammation, see a dermatologist.
Blemishes & dry patches
Typical of combination skin or over-dried skin. More serum and no drying spot treatments. See also Combination skin.

Frequently asked questions about blemished skin
Is blemished skin the same as acne?
No. Blemished skin shows occasional blackheads and spots. Acne is a skin condition with many, often inflamed blemishes, nodules or scarring, and should be treated by a dermatologist.
Does blemished skin need moisture?
Yes. Dried-out skin often produces even more sebum. Light, oil-free care keeps the skin in balance.
Should I squeeze spots?
Better not. Bacteria can get deeper into the skin, and marks or scars are more likely to remain.
How long until my skin improves?
Expect four to eight weeks. Skin renews itself roughly every four weeks, a little more slowly with age. It's important not to keep switching products during this time.
When should I see a dermatologist?
For deep, painful inflammation, scarring, or if nothing improves after three months of consistent care.
