Blind pimples develop from a combination of sebum, bacteria, and dirt trapped in the pores, thereby forming small bumps under the skin’s surface, making the skin rough and unsightly. Treating blind pimples just like any other type of acne – requires patience because they do not disappear immediately.

Blind pimples skincare routine
Building a good skincare routine when treating blind pimples is very important. You should significantly invest in a skincare routine at night. After a long day of activities, the evening is the time when your skin can rest and efficiently absorb nutrients. Therefore, applying intensive and proper treatments in the evening will help the active ingredients work effectively.
In the morning, you should focus on restoring and protecting your skin instead of intensive treatment products.

Recommendations on Blind pimples skincare products
Cleansing
Even if you don’t wear makeup, removing makeup is essential to keep your skin clean and healthy. With sensitive skin and easily irritated blind pimples, you should choose gentle and benign makeup remover products.
Eucerin Dermatoclean Hyaluron 3In1
Eucerin DermatoCLEAN 3-in-1 Micellar Cleansing Fluid is suitable for all skin types. This product is enriched with APG Complex, a mild cleanser that cleans the skin by dissolving and removing impurities, suitable even for the most sensitive skin. Moreover, this formula also contains Gluco-Glycerol, a powerful hydrating active that helps the skin retain moisture and improve its own barrier function. The skin will be cleansed, refreshed, and nourished all in a single step for a soft and supple feeling.
Bioderma Sebium H2O

This micellar water gently cleanses and refreshes the skin without disrupting the skin barrier and being gentle even in the eye contour area.
Cleanser
Facial cleansers containing too strong cleaners will make the skin with blind pimples become drier and affect the pH balance on the skin. This makes the skin easily irritated and increases sebum production.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel gently cleanses the skin with cleansing ingredients specifically selected for sensitive skin. It removes impurities and excess sebum, helping the skin clean and fresh. This formula is indicated for the daily care of skin acne-prone. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel removes dirt thanks to their non-aggressive washing base free of soap, colorants, alcohol, and parabens.
ROUNDLAB 1025 Dokdo Cleanser
Dokdo Cleanser gentle foaming cleanser gives impressions with a low pH of 5-6 but delivers a great cleansing effect. This product contains ingredients that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, moisturize, soothe sensitive skin and diminish dark spots. It is also expected to shrink pores, keep acne brightening and tone the skin, and enable skin self-repair.
Toner
For those with sensitive skin, using a toner will help prevent skin irritation before using intensive treatment products for blind pimples. In addition, toner is also responsible for helping the skin be more balanced and easily absorb the active ingredients or nutrients in the next skincare steps.
KLAIRS SUPPLE PREPARATION UNSCENTED TONER
Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner is the perfect preparation step and helps the skin absorb the next step optimally. With natural plant extracts, the product gently moisturizes and softens the skin and keeps the skin’s pH balanced.

Obagi Clenziderm MD Pore Therapy
Obagi Clenziderm MD Pore Therapy is one of the ‘enemies’ of all types of acne, especially blind pimples. The main ingredient is 2% Salicylic Acid, which helps to exfoliate and deep clean pores.

Obagi 360 Retinol 0.5%
Obagi 360 Retinol 0.5% creates an excellent acne treatment and anti-aging effect. The product promotes the ability to regenerate new cells for the skin. The skin will gradually reduce blind pimples and wrinkles. Vitamins C and E contained in the product also help increase skin resistance, prevent acne from returning, and increase antioxidant levels on the skin.
Moisturizing
After ‘directly attacking’ blind pimples with intensive treatment products, the moisturizer should include a vital active ingredient like B to calm your skin and make it strong enough to respond to potent acne-reducing active ingredients.

The product’s texture is quite thick; however, the product penetrates quickly into the skin and does not cause skin congestion.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5
When it comes to stimulating creams, La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 is definitely one of the indispensable products. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 contains Centella Asiatica to soothe skin instantly. Besides, Vitamin B5 in the product helps to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and prevent irritation.
