Or, you can sit back and let us do the legwork so that you don’t have to. Ahead, find our tried-and-tested picks for the three best new skin-clarifying treatments on the market right now:
The Ordinary Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate, RM58
Need a spot to go down, stat? Fret not—we’ve got just the thing. The Ordinary’s Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate is a spot treatment unlike any other. The unique texture melts right into the skin, sits well under makeup and works to visibly reduce blemishes in just one hour. Better yet, it also helps to calm redness and control oil, all without leaving any unpleasant smells or residue behind.
“Ï’ve been dealing with some nasty breakouts recently, and with the number of shoots and events I’ve had in the last few weeks, it’s really just bad timing. On the bright side, it has given me the perfect opportunity to test out The Ordinary’s newest innovation, and I have to say I’m impressed! I’ve been reapplying this solution every hour, and while my spots haven’t exactly disappeared overnight, they do look and feel a lot less angry. The powder consistency is a little hard to work with, but I think the learning curve is worth it!” — Redzhanna Jazmin, Beauty Editor
Lumi Beauty Clear Radiance Bundle, RM222
Lumi Beauty’s latest range is a breakout-busting must-have. Powered by T-CA Complex, the collection is made up of three products that go hand-in-hand—the Blemish Away Spot Mask works to soothe your skin wherever you need it, the Niacinamide Fix Spot Treatment helps to target redness and inflammation, and the Cooling Clarity Emulsion works to hydrate the skin and control oiliness all in one step.
“This is the first-ever anti-blemish series from Lumi Beauty, and it does not disappoint. I love that it’s not packed with super harsh exfoliants and actives—it’s a great way to calm breakouts without irritating the skin barrier. I will say that it’s not a quick fix by any means, but if you give it time, this trio works over time to clarify and soothe your skin!”— Redzhanna Jazmin, Beauty Editor
Decorte AQ Pore Blackhead Dissolver, RM350
The first of its kind, Decorte’s new pore-clarifying launch is an essence-infused cleanser serum. Targeting clogged pores at the root cause, the formulation dissolves and breaks down sebum plugs to clear the skin with consistent use. Harnessing years of dermatological knowledge cultivated through Quantum Computing technology, also known as Decorte’s AIQ (Advanced Innovative Quantum Science) Formula, the product is as effective as it is easy to use. Simply apply it to the skin, massage it in, and rinse before continuing with your usual skincare routine.
“I am already a big fan of deep cleaning with an oil cleanse, so when this turned up on my doorstep, I was fully intrigued. This nifty formulation dredges up oil plugs and sebaceous filaments in a fraction of the time, and also has enough slip to prevent dragging or irritation on the skin.” — Redzhanna Jazmin, Beauty Editor
