I’ve been struggling with cystic acne for years, a condition that occurs when inflamed lumps develop under the skin’s surface that pulsate and can be painful to the touch. I tried every acne treatment in existence before finding one that really worked. Most of the products I tried only temporarily treated my acne and left my skin overly dry and agitated. The blemish attack kit was my latest and final attempt at treating my skin and after just 3 months of daily use, I’m happy to say that it has transformed my skin and reduced my acne worries.

It works because it incorporates three products that fight bacteria under the skin without irritation. “Many other products are too aggressive and don’t work enough on balance,” says Ole. “I try to instead create products with extracts that are calming, soothing, and take the redness out topically.”

Here’s how it works.

Roll on blemish attack This is my favorite item in the trio. This convenient roll on applies benzoyl peroxide directly to the inflamed areas to kill bacteria. It also sloughs away dead skin cells and clears up blemishes without causing irritation or dryness. Use nightly under your night crème for best results.

Blemish attack daily defense gel This protective gel incorporates glycolic and lactic acid to control oil production. It also has salicylic acid to remove excess dry and flaky skin and hyaluronic acid to prevent over drying. Use after cleansing in the morning under your moisturizer and makeup.

Blemish attack purifying mask Purifying clays and calming botanicals absorb impurities, minimize breakouts and reduce surface oils. Eucalyptus helps oxygenate your skin and prevents infection. Use two to three times per week for 30 minutes for ultimate protection.
