The RE:ERTH Blemish Control aka the best anti acne serum is a lightweight gel clears acne efficiently without the usual suspects — dryness and sensitisation.
Soothing — that is exactly what the RE:ERTH Blemish Control does for a spotty situation. It does not contain generic formulations of retinol which can cause sensitisation (even more so under the sun) as it sits on the skin’s surface and neither does it contain alpha or beta hydroxy acids, which have the potential to cause rashes and swelling. Instead, each of the ingredients in it — of which there is a total of 10 non-sensitising ones — perform one purpose: to clear the gunk and grime from pores while imparting a healthy glow.

The first two key ingredients are Lysozyme (an antimicrobial enzyme derived from egg whites) and Colostrum (a combination of five classes of antibodies), both functioning as a hyper-targeted treatment (one can use it as a serum or a spot treatment) for one of the most common triggers of acne — Cutibacterium acne, the bacteria that induces skin inflammations. The former also forms a protective coating that can help soothe inflammation while functioning as a humectant that attracts and binds moisture to the skin, while the latter works with it to kill off Gram- positive and negative bacteria to effectively clear acne.
The RE:ERTH Blemish Control does not just tackle the root cause of blemishes, it also deals with what usually comes after — scarring, the pesky remnants of pimples’ past. Patented water-soluble Vitamin A (it penetrates up to 60 times better than the usual oil-based version used) converts into retinoid acid inside the cells which in turn fades irregular skin pigmentation while helping the skin achieve more elasticity and firmness.
Uptown, the product promises improved skin texture and lightened pigmentation in 45 days. Down south, the product is purported to work no matter where one uses it. It is only not applicable on fully developed cystic acne due to extensive infection and that instead, warrants a trip to a dermatologist.
RE:ERTH’s Blemish Control is priced at $87 for 30ml and is available on reerth.com. It has a shelf life of two years when unopened (six when opened) and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
