No matter your age or skin type, blemishes and breakouts can spring up when you least expect it, and getting them under control can be quite the ordeal. Thankfully, there’s a new product on the market coming straight to the rescue…
From hormonal teenage flare-ups to menopausal breakouts, our skin can be unpredictable at every stage of life. We can all relate to that deflating feeling of waking up on the morning of a big event with a big old spot taking up some prime real estate on our faces, and regardless of how strict you are with your skincare routine, they can still manage to make their way through.
The typical spot cycle is tedious, forcing you to either wait patiently for the blemish to erupt and come to its natural end, or give in to the temptation of picking at it. In reality, all anyone wants is to flatten it and let it heal swiftly, without delay, without damage, and with minimal effort. Pestle & Mortar are making that dream a reality.
Introducing: The Spot Dots. The latest innovation from leading Irish skincare brand Pestle & Mortar, these ultra-thin, translucent hydrocolloid patches — enriched with salicylic acid and tea tree oil — work quickly to neutralise blemishes overnight. Their unique blend of salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and a gentle triglyceride simultaneously target and soothe zits. According to co-founder Sonia Deasy, the formula zaps breakouts while simultaneously healing and treating damaged skin.
Rescuing teenage skin
The tumultuous journey of adolescence isn’t just about navigating social challenges and growth spurts, but also about managing unpredictable skin. Hormonal surges during teenage years often lead to increased oil production and, consequently, breakouts. The Spot Dots act swiftly, ensuring that these unwelcome visitors don’t linger for long, allowing teens to confidently face each day with clearer skin.
Clarifying menopausal breakouts
Many women experience a resurgence of acne during menopause, thanks to the hormonal shifts that can send the skin’s oil glands into overdrive. This can be particularly frustrating, as mature skin also deals with other concerns like dryness or fine lines. The Spot Dots tackle unwanted spots and ensure the surrounding skin remains nourished and cared for, making them a perfect ally for mature skin seeking clarity.
Not just a cover-up
The Spot Dots do more than just cover a pimple. Here’s a breakdown of their magic:
Absorb Impurities
The hydrocolloid material in the dot acts like a sponge, pulling out pus and oil from the blemish. When the dot turns white or opaque, it’s a sign it has done its job.
Flatten Blemishes
Infused with salicylic acid and tea tree oil, these patches not only protect the pimple from further infection and external factors, but also speed up its healing.
Protect Skin
We all know the urge to pop a pimple. The Spot Dots act as a protective barrier, preventing touching or picking at the pimple, and reducing the risk of scars.
Heal Skin
Enriched with a gentle triglyceride, The Spot Dots provide essential nourishment to the affected area. Beneficial lipids support the skin’s natural barrier, so it stays hydrated and resilient.
Like all Pestle & Mortar products, The Spot Dots are simple to use. Start by cleansing and drying the affected area. Once the skin is clean and dry, peel a Spot Dot off the backing, and place it directly onto the blemish, making sure it covers the entire spot and adheres securely to the skin. When the dot turns opaque, you’ll know it has done its job absorbing impurities. Simply peel it off gently, and discover clearer, healthier skin underneath!
The Spot Dots are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from latex. They are supplied in a 100 per cent recyclable paper box at €12 for a pack of 48 assorted sizes, available online, at Pestle & Mortar Kildare Village, and from select retailers nationwide.
