How to use

Wet face and squeeze the spot cleanser into your hands. Apply to face and massage gently for at least 60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. Can be used twice daily as your regular cleanser. If using it as your night time cleanser, cleanse with no scrubs jelly cleanser first to remove makeup.

Beat the breakout bundle

I enjoyed using this acne bundle. I noticed a huge change in my skin; the cluster of blemishes I used to have has disappeared. I barely get any breakouts anymore, and any that I do get never last long.

how it started

The Breakout Hack set out on a mission to understand, empathise with, and solve their customers' problems. And whilst the treatment of breakouts may appear to be a clinical problem to solve, co-founder Rachael understood that the challenges surrounding breakouts went way below the surface of her customer's skin.

The Breakout Hack's mission is a deeply personal one to Rachael, having suffered her own 13 year long battle with breakouts. Rachael describes The Breakout Hack as being the ultimate confidant for the breakout-prone customer, where they ensure a new scientific approach translates into products that fulfil the core needs and wants of their customer group.

    Great cleanser

    Has helped reduce redness and inflammation and made my breakouts less painful.

    I’ve only been using for 2-3 weeks and noticed less breakouts. I think eventually I will rarely have any

    break out

    i bought this in an attempt to clear up some of my teen acne on my forehead. used it for 2 weeks and when my mum saw me she asked me why my skin looked so angry. looked in a mirror and had brand new, deep acne on my forehead, spanning all over it, on my nose, sides of nose, and chin. it’s taken me up to now to get my forehead acne flat. made me lose all confidence. would not recommend to anybody.

    Gentle cleanser

    Gentle cleanser to use on acne. Haven’t notice any improvement in skin, probably wouldn’t buy again.

FAQ'S

Still have questions?

Check out our most commonly asked questions! If you can't find the answer you are looking for, just hit up one of our friendly customer care team members! They love a chat.

What makes the spot cleanser different?

Unlike most cleansers, the spot cleanser uses our proprietary technology (the same as in our spot cream) to target breakout-causing bacteria while being gentle on your skin barrier.

How quickly will I see results?

The right routine depends on your skin type and the kind of breakouts you’re dealing with. Not sure which products are best for you? Our customer service team is here to help - just reach out at hello@thebreakouthack.co.uk and we’ll guide you to your perfect routine.

How should I incorporate this into my current routine?

We recommend in the AM:

1. Cleanse with the spot cleanser
2. Support with the rebound skin milk toner
3. Repair with the rebound serum
4. Hydrate with the thirst trap moisturiser

We recommend in the PM:
1. Remove makeup with the jelly cleanser
2. Cleanse with the spot cleanser
3. Treat with the spot cream
4. Support with the rebound skin milk toner
5. Repair with the rebound serum
6. Hydrate with the thirst trap moisturiser
7. Prevent by patching it up with our pimple patches

Should I double cleanse with the spot cleanser?

We recommend double cleansing at night if you wear makeup or sunscreen: first remove with our no scrubs jelly cleanser, then use the spot cleanser for a deep clean.

Are the products vegan and cruelty free?

YES, absolutely! We love our floofy friends… NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS and no animal products used!
