8 Soothing Spot Treatments That Calm And Treat Breakouts Overnight

Consider this your cheat sheet to clear skin. By Kimberly Ong

July 31, 2018

Whether it’s battling puberty breakouts or adult acne, zits and blemishes are like uninvited guests who just show up with no prior notice. And trust us when we say you’re not alone because who hasn’t had to deal with a pimple emergency before a big event, a first date or an important meeting? We’ve all wished for products that will work their magic to calm and reduce angry pustules by the time you wake up in the morning.

Why overnight? Your skin regenerates the most when you sleep, and boosts repair at a time when skin is not working hard to protect itself from the day’s damaging pollutants, free radicals, and UV rays, making it prime time to get rid of those zits. Plus, these products pack anti-bacterial ingredients and pore-purifying actives to improve skin texture for a smoother, clearer complexion. Here, eight of the most powerful zit-zapping products.

8 Spot Treatments That Calm And Treat Breakouts Overnight

Pimple patches have gained momentum in recent years, and here’s why: not only do they cover up your zit (preventing more bacteria from entering whenever you touch or pick at your zits), but they also draw out the oil and bacteria stuck deep within your pores like a sponge, speeding up the process of healing. The patches are designed to stay on for a recommended 6-8 hours, making it perfect for use overnight as you get your beauty sleep. And these patches from Oxy are super comfortable as they adhere perfectly onto the skin. Photo: Courtesy

Perfect for reducing the appearance of unexpected breakouts, this fast-working remedy is packed with antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and pore-purifying ingredients like tea tree oil and salicylic acid to accelerate healing, and zinc oxide, and yarrow extract to regulate sebum production to control excess shine. Dab a little of the pinkish lotion on the problem area and it pretty much fades by the morning without causing any skin peeling like many spot solutions can, so it is perfect for those with dry skin as well.
