Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment

Isolated pimples require precise treatment, not a global approach that ends up unbalancing the rest of the face.

The AXIS-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment is designed for this: applied as a spot treatment directly to the affected area, it combines 2% niacinamide to even skin tone and reduce post-acne redness, glycolic acid and salicylic acid to unclog pores and accelerate cell renewal, and encapsulated ceramides to maintain an intact barrier even on compromised skin. 4-Terpineol and tea tree extract complete the formula with a direct soothing action on inflammation.

Visible results in 3 to 5 days on active pimples. Ideal for combination to oily skin with an acne tendency who want a local treatment without aggressing the rest of the skin.

Unlike all-in-one treatments, this 15ml format fits into any step without weighing down the routine.

How to integrate AXIS-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment into your Korean routine?

1. Cleansing: start with a Korean facial cleanser to remove impurities and excess sebum before any application.
2. Toner: apply a Korean toner to balance pH and prepare the skin to better absorb subsequent active ingredients.
3. Spot treatment (this product): apply 1 to 2 drops directly to each blemish or area to be treated, evening or morning depending on tolerance. Do not spread over the entire face.
4. Serum: if necessary, supplement with a Korean serum on the rest of the face for hydration or radiance.
5. Moisturizer: seal with a Korean moisturizer to protect the skin barrier overnight.
6. Sunscreen (in the morning): AHA/BHA increase photosensitivity, apply a Korean sunscreen every morning without exception.

How to use the AXIS-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment?

Apply 1 to 2 drops directly onto the blemishafter your toner, before your moisturizer. This product is a spot treatment: do not spread it over your entire face. You can use it morning and evening. If you have sensitive skin, start by using it only in the evening for 1 to 2 weeks to test for tolerance.

How often should I use this AXIS-Y spot treatment?

The Spot The Difference can be used daily, morning and evening on the affected areas. The AHAs and BHAs in the formula can increase sun sensitivity: wearing sunscreen in the morning is essential. If irritation occurs, reduce to once a day, in the evening.

Is this spot treatment compatible with niacinamide or vitamin C?

Yes, the AXIS-Y Spot The Difference Blemish Treatment itself contains 2% niacinamide, so it is compatible with niacinamide serums. Avoid layering it with retinol or another strong chemical exfoliant on the same evening to avoid overloading the skin. It can be combined without issues with hydrating serums based on hyaluronic acid.

How long does it take to see results on blemishes?

Most users notice a visible reduction in redness and blemish size within 3 to 5 days of regular use. For post-acne scars (pink or brown spots), the niacinamide and AHAs work over several weeks: allow for 4 to 6 weeks of daily use for results on skin tone evenness.

Is this treatment suitable for sensitive and reactive skin?

The formula isdermatologically tested and hypoallergenic. It is suitable for sensitive, acne-prone skin thanks to ceramides that strengthen the skin barrier. The AHAs and BHAs are present in moderate doses in this spot treatment format. If your skin is very reactive, start with an evening-only application and increase gradually. When in doubt, speak to a dermatologist.
