Blemish Defeat’r BHA Spot-Targeting Gel

NEED as a barrier for makeup to PREVENT ACNE

My forehead breaks out when I wear foundation or concealer. But I wear makeup to cover up the hyperpigmentation left behind by the acne. It does not matter what foundation/concealer I try or how clean my brushes/sponge are. So I started applying this all over my forehead, almost like a thin layer of primer, then spot color correcting and spot concealing my dark spots. I do not apply any makeup near the "edges" of where I applied the product, or else it will start to peel up. Then I just set it with powder. Since doing this, I have gotten no new acne flares and can still cover up the hyperpigmentation! Its a win-win!

Not just for pimples, use to cover scar

I use this to very nicely cover a scar and then can easily put powder foundation over it with a powder brush. Use a blowdryer to dry it. Stays on all day without peeling. When I don’t need to cover it, I use silicone to continue to fade the scar.

Could be better

Application is easy, the formula is nice, doesn’t feel like it’s clogging. But even when following the directions it will still peel off.

I wanted this to work but it didn’t

I used it as directed, and within 30min-1 1/2hrs later it would already be peeling off my skin (even whenever it dries immediately and I’m about to put primer/foundation over top it starts curling outwards). You’re better off just using a pimple patch.

liquid pimple patch!

I really enjoy this product It works super well under make up once it dries. I don’t think you’re going need to buy this version of it necessarily and I honestly found the applicator kind of clunky. 

A ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE FOR BREAKOUTS

I love this so much!!!! It’s a life saver. I wouldn’t say it’s great under makeup I’ve tried twice and it didn’t look great, but by itself it’s amazing!! I put it on active breakouts and it helps them so much. If I put it on 3-4 days in a row it shrinks it and it leaves almost no dark spot. I get really bad dark spots when I breakout but with this it helps fade them immediately with little to no discoloration. If you’re thinking of getting it do it!! I also tried the kiehls acne solution and it didn’t work for me but this does. I will be forever repurchasing it.

Takes forever to dry and starts peeling off 10 minutes after it finally dries.

PUT IT ON COMPLETELY BARE SKIN

as the title says, this must be put on completely bare and dry skin, no skincare, no primer, nothing. If you don’t it’ll peel and look awful. You can put everything that you usually would on top of this. When used properly it does a great job of sealing active acne and reducing the swelling

Good Idea. Bad Product.

Wanted to love this product but it constantly peels and flakes off with my makeup, leaving it patchy and dry. I finally just had to throw it out. I do not recommend this product.

Great product for bare skin.

Bought this not for using under makeup, but to just cover any acne while I’m at work. Instead of having to put on pimple patches I just use this. Amazing product.

Disappointed in this product…After applying it and letting it dry, it basically peeled off leaving residues and ruining part of my makeup… I gave it many tries but it’s bad.

Don’t love

It’s a great idea but for me it always peeled under my makeup no matter how long I let it dry.
