Will truly be ride or die for the rest of my life

All your products have done miracles for my hormonal acne. I struggled for more than a year trying to fix it but nothing worked until I came across The Breakout Hack. CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

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.

    Non-stripping Cleanser

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 star cleanser for my acne prone sensitive skin. It's the only acne cleanser that doesn't strip my dry skin. I like that it's made without nasties that harm skin and the environment.

    Effective face wash

    I bought this facewash and the rest of the breakout hacks products because my acne had gotten out of control. I have noticed that the acne has slowed down a lot just in the 2 weeks I have been using this face wash morning and night. It doesn't foam up but I find it effective at cleansing the skin without being stripping of all the oils.

    Hey Olivia! 💖

    Thank you so much for giving our spot cleanser a try and for sharing your honest feedback with us! We totally understand that skincare can take time to show results, and everyone's skin is different in how it responds ✨

    We're so glad to hear that it's not feeling too drying on your skin - that's such an important part of the formula! Our spot cleanser is designed to be gentle while still being effective, so it's great that your skin is comfortable with it 🙌

    Some customers see results within the first couple of weeks, while others find it takes a bit longer for their skin to adjust and show those clearer results. Every skin journey is unique!

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, bestie! We're so grateful to have you as part of our breakout hack family 🫶✨

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 patented 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!
