One of the most annoying and unwanted complexion issues is a sudden breakout or suffering from acne. We’ve all been there: throughout our teen years, or when we neglect our skincare and diet, suddenly we’ll see imperfections start to rise on our faces.
When it comes to treating, countless products on the market claim to efficiently target the problems; however, what they often leave behind is dryness and irritation.
Well, what if we told you there is a new brand that has created a revolutionary spot treatment that targets acne at the source without compromising skin health? Let us introduce you to The Breakout Hack. The Breakout Hack delivers fast, visible results with a gentle, non-irritating approach suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Spot Cleanser
This spot cleanser is a mild, moisture-boosting formula designed to manage and prevent breakouts without drying the skin. Powered by patented technology, it works to address blemishes while maintaining a clear, soothed, and balanced complexion. Free from benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, it’s an excellent choice for sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Buy Now for £12.99Their hero products, the Spot Cream and Spot Cleanser, use new-age patented technology to break down the skin’s protective “biofilm”, where treatments like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide struggle to penetrate, without causing any damage. The antibacterial technology effectively kills acne-causing bacteria and promotes a clearer complexion in as little as six weeks, with 84% of users seeing visibly clearer skin in just six weeks*.
Start with the Spot Cleanser, £12.99, which is a hydrating solution that removes dead skin cells, dissolves excess oil, and nourishes the skin to minimise the appearance of pores and blackheads. 89% of users said they noticed their skin felt less oily, whilst 93% found the cleanser was gentle on their skin*.

The Spot Cream
This spot cream delivers gentle but powerful breakout care, tackling blemishes without causing dryness or irritation. Using patented technology that focuses on the biofilm within the skin’s barrier, it helps reduce existing breakouts and stop new ones from developing. With no benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, it’s especially suited to sensitive, blemish-prone skin.
Buy Now for £15.99Then follow with The Spot Cream, priced at an affordable £15.99, a daily hydrating, non-drying cream that is to be applied after cleansing. Simply use the formula on the pimples and leave for 5 minutes to soak in before applying any serums or moisturisers. One user shared their joy at the results as they said: “This spot cream is a game changer for breakouts! It goes on light, doesn’t sting, and I noticed my spots looking calmer and less red by the next day.”

The brand also sells Multi-Size Pimple Patches, £12.99, which sells one every minute globally and has over 500 five-star reviews on boots.com. Like other patches on the high street, these are specially made to not only prevent pimple-picking and protect from external irritants, but also to prevent redness and pigmentation.
