AXIS-Y - Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment [15ml]

AXIS-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment at a glance

Targeted care versus full-face treatment

Most blemish products take an all-or-nothing approach: either a full-face treatment that dries out clear skin along with the breakouts, or a patch that only covers the surface. This treatment sits in between — it is applied directly to individual blemishes and the immediate surrounding area, delivering concentrated actives exactly where they are needed.

The formula addresses blemishes from multiple angles. AHA and BHA exfoliate the dead skin cells and excess sebum that clog pores and feed breakouts. Tea tree extract and 4-terpineol (a component found in tea tree and other botanical oils) provide antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, helping to calm redness and fight the bacteria involved in acne. Niacinamide at 2% helps improve post-blemish marks — the dark spots left after a breakout heals. Ceramide capsules protect the skin barrier in the treated area, preventing over-drying.

How to use it

1. After cleansing and toning, apply one to two drops directly onto blemishes or troubled areas.
2. Pat gently until absorbed.
3. Follow with moisturiser.
4. Use sunscreen during the day — the AHA increases UV sensitivity.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use it on my whole face?

It is designed for targeted use on individual blemishes, not as a full-face serum. Applying it to clear skin is unnecessary and could cause dryness due to the concentrated actives.

How quickly does it work?

Active inflammation and redness often improve within one to two days. Post-blemish marks take longer — weeks of consistent use to fade. Severe or cystic acne may not respond to topical spot treatments alone.

Can I use it with retinol?

Yes, but be mindful of over-exfoliation. This product contains AHA and BHA, so using it alongside retinol on the same blemish could increase irritation. If you use retinol at night, apply this treatment in the morning or on alternate nights.

Is it drying?

The ceramide capsules help prevent over-drying, which is a common problem with spot treatments. However, if you have very dry skin, follow with a good moisturiser to keep the treated area comfortable.

Can I use it under makeup?

Yes. It absorbs without leaving a visible residue, so you can apply makeup over treated spots.

How long does 15ml last?

Since it is used only on individual blemishes, 15ml lasts a long time — typically two to four months, depending on how frequently you have breakouts.
