Breakouts Need Balance, Not Punishment

The instinct when a blemish appears is often to attack it with the strongest product possible. But aggressively drying the skin can leave the area flaky, uncomfortable and visibly irritated. Spot Dabber takes a more targeted approach. Apply the concentrated botanical formula directly to the blemish, allowing you to care for the problem area without unnecessarily disrupting the healthy skin around it. Treat the spot. Respect the skin

  • Witch Hazel Hydrosol

    Witch hazel is naturally rich in tannins and antioxidant polyphenols that give it its characteristic astringent properties. It helps remove excess surface oil, refresh congested areas and temporarily tighten the appearance of pores without needing to aggressively strip the skin.

  • Aloe Vera

    Aloe vera helps keep blemish care from becoming overly drying. Its naturally occurring polysaccharides, including acemannan, bind water and help soothe and hydrate stressed skin.

  • Tea Tree Essential Oil

    Naturally rich in terpinen-4-ol, tea tree oil is well known for its antimicrobial and purifying activity. It helps create a less hospitable environment for bacteria while supporting clearer-looking skin—making it an ideal ingredient for targeted care.

  • Lavender Essential Oil

    Naturally rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, it offers soothing and antimicrobial properties that help calm the appearance of redness and irritation while complementing tea tree's purifying action.

Perfect for those pesky spots!

I have been using the spot dabber for a few years. It is perfect for those pesky pimples that still show up at my age of 61 years. I love that they are simple and natural ingredients, no drying chemicals.

Effective and non-drying

A highly effective but gentle spot treatment for pimples, including one's that may crop up on back, chest and shoulders from sweat and sunscreen!

Great for helping to diminish acne breakouts!

I have purchased this "Spot Dabber" quite a few times for my post-menopausal acne treatment. I still can't believe I have breakouts at my age, but this is a great treatment for those pesky pimples. With repeated use, this products works to diminish them. I will continue to purchase this great, natural product!

Spot Dabber for Acne

It is not working as well as it had when I'd used it in the past.

Too Soon to Tell

I bought this at the tail end of a breakout. Haven't used it a ton yet so tough to say how effective it is overall, but when I did use it, it seemed to dry out the blemish. It is really runny, drips out quickly and is very scented. If you're like me and have lots of hormonal breakouts on the chin/around the lip area, I would suggest dabbing the ball onto your finger and applying the product with your finger. I got it in my mouth the first few times I used it - totally my fault, just a suggestion for application!

Works well and quickly.

My teen has started to develop some pimples along her hairline. Within days of starting to use this, there was noticeable improvement.

Natural Skin Solution

I have only used the spot dabbed a couple of times since I purchased it but each time it has calmed the skin around a blemish and reduced the appearance of the blemish. It feels nice on as well, no stinging or burning. Fair warning the smell is strong.
