A breakout fighting cleanser that won’t give your skin a strip tease at the same time…

Not your average face wash. This creamy, non-foaming, hydrating cleanser targets breakout-causing bacteria and impurities without any of the harsh stuff, no benzoyl peroxide, no salicylic acid (aka no bleached towels) It cleanses deeply while keeping skin balanced, hydrated and happy, gentle enough for twice-daily use but effective enough to actually make a difference. The hero product for anyone who wants clearer skin without compromising on how their skin feels.

Benefits

  • Helps control and prevent future breakouts 
  • Hydrates the skin instead of leaving it dry and stripped
  • Unclogs pores and dissolves excess oil without stripping the skin
  • Free from benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid

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.

    Works a Charm!

    This is the ONLY cleanser I have found that has actually worked and done the job. It cleans out pores, prevents future breakouts and helps control present ones. It’s super soft on sensitive skin so i definitely recommend!! My friends have asked me what cleanser I use and I do not hesitate to 100% recommend it!

    Hasn’t been enough time

    I like the way it smells and feels but it has only been a few weeks. I haven’t noticed any change in my acne yet.

    Spot cleanser review

    I suffer from severe acne that doesn’t budge. This is the only product I have found that successfully reduces the redness and swelling of my face. I have just brought a second tube as I am seeing such an improvement! Here is a before and after of just days of using the spot cleanser .

    Cleansed, not nice for sensitive skin

    Used it and as I was cleansing it was stinging. It did leave my skin soft but broke me out over the next few days.

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!
