Blue Herbal Spot Treatment

Inspired by Kiehl’s iconic Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion® for oily, blemish prone skin.

 

• Inspired by Kiehl’s venerable and most enduring preparation, Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion.

• Gentle, yet effective gel dries and clears blackheads, whiteheads and acne blemishes and allows skin to heal.

• Quickly penetrates pores to eliminate most acne blemishes and help prevent new ones.

• Dermatologist-tested to help minimize allergy risk.

Cool Kiehl’s Fact: When our chemists developed Kiehl’s iconic Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion in 1964, its popularity took off almost from the start. Over forty years later, we attribute its appeal not only to its superior quality, but also its versatility. Kiehl’s male patrons tell us they use it as a post-shave treatment to soothe skin and prevent razor discomfort. Legend has it that Andy Warhol was a fan!

SIN-nuh-mehn BAR-k EK-strakt

Cinnamon Bark Extract is taken from the dried bark of cultivated trees and is considered to be of much higher quality than extract derived from leaves. It contains an essential oil that is not only recognized for its soothing effects, but is also known to have antibacterial properties.

gly-KAUL-ik AS-id

Glycolic Acid is one of the naturally occurring fruit acids derived from sugar cane. It helps slough off the dry, rough uppermost layer, leaving skin looking smoother and healthier.

- Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying medication

- Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily

- Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor

- If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once every day or every other day

Geneva L: No, sorry, this is a treatment with salicylic acid and herbal extracts to help shrink or treat emerging whiteheads/blackheads. If your dark spots/scars are the pigmentation caused by sun exposure, melasma, or acne scars you might want to look at the photo-aging line, clearly corrective line, and products from Kiehl's with vitamin C. I have the same trouble too and by using a combo I'm getting some results without resorting to laser. Good luck! Mar 18, 2013

jill m: I have not used the spot treatment for that specifically only for trouble spots when they would pop up. It does however work very well on pimples on drying them out and a word of caution if you have sensitive skin use this sparingly because it will dry out the area around the pimple too. Maybe you could look for a more specific acne spot lightener which I know is out there now this may or may not help with the dark marks? Hope this helps... Apr 12, 2013

Nicole Z: I think the Blue Herbal Spot Treatment is aimed more at getting rid of active acne blemishes rather than the scars that they leave. I use it for breakouts (since it is salicylic acid). I'm not an anesthetician but I would think it would cause redness on scars and normal skin.
I hope this helps :)

DF G: I use this product for quickly drying up acne that erupts on my face. It really isn't to reduce the appearance of scars, rather it is used to assist in avoiding getting the scares in the first place by controlling the oils that can cause acne. It is also awesome for Razor Burn issues.
