Whether you suffer from acne or just a pesky pimple now and then, we can all relate to wanting to clear our complexions as soon as humanly possible. And while there are plenty of such complexion-clearing products on the market, it can be hard to know what actually works.

Fortunately, Kiehl's has been around for nearly 200 years and knows a thing or two about what works, which is why their brand new Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution is an ultra-exciting addition to the Kiehl's lineup.

According to a press release, "medicated acne spot solution treatment that forms an invisible "liquid patch" over the spot. This first-to-market innovation creates a breathable seal that helps reduce pimple color in 2 hours, pimple size in 24 hours and post-acne marks in 4 weeks. The patch also protects the area from external irritants like dirt, oil, and makeup, which inhibits contamination and temptation of picking at the spot for a speedy healing process."


"Using exclusive "liquid patch" technology, our acne-clearing spot treatment creates a breathable seal that layers seamlessly with sunscreen and makeup. The formula delivers triple efficacy across all phases of the acne cycle to clear, fade, and prevent breakouts, without even being seen on the skin."

Containing 2% Salicylic Acid, 4% niacinamide, and 0.2% licorice root, this solution is a one-stop shop powerful enough to treat active and sub-surface inflammatory acne lesions as well as calm and fade post-acne marks. It can be used day and night and also plays nicely under sunscreen and makeup. Available now for $30 at Kiehls.com.
