The gel texture is water-based, absorbs within seconds and is described as leaving no greasy film, which makes it suitable for use under sunscreen or makeup. For the neatest result, apply only a tiny amount to the blemish and allow it to dry completely before adding the next layer. If you apply foundation or concealer too soon, you may disturb the gel or make makeup collect unevenly over the spot.
For daytime use, a simple order is: cleanse, apply the spot gel directly to the blemish, wait until absorbed, then apply moisturiser if needed, followed by SPF. Makeup can go on after sunscreen has settled. If the blemish is shiny or raised, the gel’s light mattifying effect may help it look less obvious before concealer, but avoid rubbing the area aggressively with brushes or sponges.
Because this is a targeted product, it is especially relevant for oily and combination skin that does not respond well to heavy creams. If your skin is sensitive or already dry around the blemish, keep the surrounding area moisturised and use the gel only on the spot itself.
