The skin isn't just your body's largest organ, it's also the most visible. This makes any breakouts extra frustrating, especially when they pop up at inconvenient moments.
While there's no such thing as 'perfect' skin, knowing how blemishes form is the first step to dealing with them and leaving your complexion looking clearer and smoother.
To do this you need to understand some skincare science, starting with the pores - those tiny openings in the skin that release natural oils which are vital to keeping it soft and comfortable.
These can occasionally become blocked with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of spots and pimples. Due to the skin constantly renewing itself these will come and go, but sometimes leave behind a mark or scar.
Spots and pimples occur when the pores in your skin become blocked with oil and dead skin cells
Fortunately, an exciting product is available that could be the solution to leaving your skin smoother and clearer.
Effaclar by La Roche-Posay is the UK's number one dermatologist-recommended brand for blemish-prone skin*.
The psychological impact of blemished skin
One aspect of skincare that regularly gets overlooked is the link between the skin and the mind.
The physical manifestations of blemished skin, like spots and blotches, are obvious to the naked eye. But what is less visible is their psychological impact, which can include low mood and a lack of self-esteem***.
These feelings can be aggravated by unrealistic images of 'flawless complexions' that are common on social media.
These possible mental health impacts make it even more important to speak to your dermatologist if you are concerned about your skin - rather than ignoring your concerns.
There are lots of beauty brands out there, but if your skin is vulnerable to blemishing you need specific care - and will save in the long run if you equip yourself with effective products that are backed by dermatologists.
Corrective moisturiser Effaclar Duo+M is the best-selling cream for blemish-prone skin in the UK**, and contains active ingredients that tackle the issue at source.
This includes new Phylobioma, which targets Phylotype IA1 to significantly reduce appearance of blemishes - even severe ones - on all skin tones.
The intelligent formula also contains Salicylic Acid; a gently exfoliating active ingredient to unclog pores, helping to prevent breakouts.
People who have experienced acne are often left with imperfections and blemishes on the skin, which can be more bothersome than the active blemishes themselves.
Effaclar Duo+M is also suitable for those who may be prone to acne. With its formula containing salicylic acid it helps by softening the appearance of these marks, leaving your skin looking smoother and more even.
Other dermatological actives include zinc and niacinamide - a form of Vitamin B3 - which are contained within the gentle formula suitable for people prone to sensitive skin.
Anyone who regularly experiences blemishes or imperfections will know they have a habit of cropping up at irritating times, like on the morning of a big work or social event.
With Effaclar Duo+M you can experience visible results in just eight hours**, making it ideal for those emergency moments when time is of the essence.
Some people believe spots and pimples are really only a 'teenage problem' that they should have 'grown out of'.

In reality though, these types of skin blemishes can occur at any age, and can also be linked to women going through menopause****.
When looking for a solution it can be tempting to try and save money by opting for the lowest priced product, but for consultant dermatologist Dr Justine Hextall this approach is counterproductive.
'Rather than constantly making decisions based on price point, make a purchase decision based on what your skin truly needs – that's the most cost-effective way to shop for your skin,' she says.
'When you use lots of different products that are ineffective is when skincare becomes expensive, but getting the right advice and then the right products will save you in the long term.
'I recommend Effaclar to my clients, and teenage children. For me, it's a game-changer.'
