## Description

Targeted Post-Breakout Solution: Post-Breakout Fix is your go-to acne spot treatment designed to fade stubborn marks left after blemishes and visibly improve skin tone. Brightening Power: Hexylresorcinol works hard to reduce the look of post-acne spots while enhancing brightness for clearer-looking skin after every breakout. Skin-Smoothing Exfoliation: Featuring acne treatment hero Salicylic Acid, this gentle exfoliator helps refine skin texture and tone without irritation. Barrier Support & Hydration: Squalane deeply moisturizes and helps restore the skin’s barrier, while Carob Seed Extract supports natural renewal for soft, even skin. Simple Application: After cleansing and toning, dab a small amount onto post-breakout marks. Use twice daily until the spot fades—real results, no overthinking.

Review: Face pickers: buy this right now. Thank me later. - I LOVE this stuff. It causes a little peeling but the outcome is AMAZING. It's not greasy, I wouldn't call it hydrating, but MAN DOES IT WORK ON FACIAL SCARS (from acne or if you're a nervous picker like me). In my opinion, it needs to be a little cheaper for people who would use this more than I do for acne breakouts. It's such a small bottle and it is very hard to get all of the product out. But my skin feels and looks better after a week of using this once a day or twice a day.
Review: Helps Fade Post Breakout Scars - I've struggled with hormonal acne for years, and just as my marks would start disappearing, new acne and marks would show up. I've used tons of products (I love Youth to the People and use their cleanser/exfoliants, but still felt like my marks weren't removing quickly enough. Also use Retinol from SkinMedica but it can be pretty drying from time to time), my esthetician was recommending something with higher percentage AHA/BHA's and so I started looking into Dermalogica. I used their Dark Spot Peel first and saw significant change in a week, but my older marks were taking longer to go away. I started seeing ads on Instagram with Breakout Peel products and decided to give it a try. I knew I might see some purging so I didnt get scared of the product when that started happening, but kept it in rotation with my routine. I used the Clear Start (purple lid) 3x a day on active breakouts and the post breakout fix (blue lid) after my pimples started getting smaller. Every other night I'd use their other Breakout peels (didnt like the smell of the pink liquid one, but I still use it) Anyway, I saw improvements in the 1st week of using but then had some purging in week 2 that left new scars in week 3 (attached photos). By week 5, I could already see marks fading and even some of my texture coming back/looking normal. Week 7 photo is attached as well, which when comparing to my "Before/Day 1" photo looks great, so I will continue using in hopes that I can get my dark spots to fade once and for all. I still have product left in the bottle 7 weeks later, although I'll probably need to refill within the next 1-2 weeks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Post-Breakout Healing
*by C***L on January 19, 2026*

I started using Dermalogica Clear Start Post-Breakout Fix in July, and it’s been great for lightening post-breakout marks and helping clear spots faster. It’s gentle, effective, and doesn’t irritate my skin. Don’t let the price steer you away because it truly works — it’s January and I still have some left. A little goes a long way and it’s absolutely worth it.
