What remains is a red, brown, or purplish spot that can be visible for weeks — post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or PIH for short. Especially teenagers and young adults with a darker skin tone suffer from this, often leading to picking or squeezing in hopes of speeding up healing. This then causes a new round of spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Post-Breakout Fix is specifically developed for the phase after an active pimple. A light gel-cream that works on the remaining spot with a single targeted drop, combining salicylic acid, hexylresorcinol, and carob extract scientifically formulated to fade pigment spots. Clinical research showed that 95% of users saw less discoloration within four weeks — a result that is exceptionally remarkable for an over-the-counter product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold\"\u003eAdvantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFades red and brown spots left by pimples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEvens out skin tone and gives the skin a healthier appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHydrates simultaneously with squalane, unlike drying acne products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuitable for both fresh and older spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePackaging made from 25% recycled plastic (PCR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHexylresorcinol:\u003c\/strong\u003e An advanced brightening molecule considered a safe and effective alternative to hydroquinone. It inhibits melanin production in targeted spots and helps fade post-inflammatory pigmentation. Scientific studies show that with regular use, hexylresorcinol is significantly more effective than vitamin C in addressing PIH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e A mild dose that exfoliates the top layer of skin, accelerating the natural fading process. By removing cells with excess pigment more quickly, the new skin layer underneath becomes visible — one that is not yet affected by pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarob (Locust Bean) Seed Extract:\u003c\/strong\u003e A lesser-known but particularly powerful plant ingredient that stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration process. It specifically targets the cells involved in tissue repair, making the skin smoother and more even in areas of previous blemishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSqualane:\u003c\/strong\u003e A plant-based lipid that resembles the skin’s own lipids in molecular structure. It restores the skin barrier in areas weakened by previous inflammation and prevents the active acids in the formula from drying out the skin. This makes the Post-Breakout Fix uniquely gentle compared to classic spot treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeyl Glucoside \u0026amp; Phytosterols:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two plant-based antioxidants that protect the skin from further oxidative damage — an important aspect because pigmentation spots tend to darken without protection when exposed to UV. Phytosterols also help strengthen the skin barrier for lasting improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCleanse your face and optionally apply a toner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePress an amount the size of a grain of rice onto your fingertip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTip: apply directly to the red or brown spot you want to treat — not over the entire face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAllow the product 30 to 60 seconds to absorb before applying your moisturizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUse twice daily, morning and evening, and repeat until the spot has faded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTeenagers and young adults with post-inflammatory pigmentation spots after pimples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAdults with occasional pimples that leave visible spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePeople with a darker or olive skin tone who are extra sensitive to PIH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAlso usable as a spot treatment on active pimples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNot intended for deep acne scars or moles — discuss these with a dermatologist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow long does it take before I see results?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAccording to Dermalogica’s clinical study, 95% of users saw a reduction in discoloration after four weeks. Many users report improvement after just two weeks of consistent use. Older spots that have been visible for months or years require longer treatment — expect six to eight weeks for visible results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes it work on active pimples or only on the spots left behind?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAlthough the product is specifically formulated for post-inflammatory pigmentation, many people also use it as a spot treatment on active pimples. The salicylic acid helps clear the pimple, and once the inflammation subsides, the hexylresorcinol continues to work on the pigmentation spot. An efficient two-in-one approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I combine the Post-Breakout Fix with the Breakout Clearing Booster from the same line?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eYes, that is a logical combination. Use the Breakout Clearing Booster specifically on active pimples and the Post-Breakout Fix on spots left from previous pimples. However, we recommend not layering both products on the exact same spot at the same time — this unnecessarily burdens the skin with too many active ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs this product safe to use during pregnancy?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Post-Breakout Fix contains a low dose of salicylic acid, which is considered acceptable by most doctors during pregnancy. Hexylresorcinol has limited research regarding pregnancy, so it is best to discuss with your midwife or doctor whether it suits your situation. When in doubt, waiting until after pregnancy or breastfeeding is usually the safest option.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dermalogica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56635726627147,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6908\/7307\/files\/a9462c2550e43434fcf56fe99d83af2f285815cb.png?v=1779226905","url":"https:\/\/webshop.glamskin.be\/en\/products\/dermalogica-post-breakout-fix-15ml","provider":"Glam Skin Webshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
