I enjoyed using this acne bundle. I noticed a huge change in my skin; the cluster of blemishes I used to have has disappeared. I barely get any breakouts anymore, and any that I do get never last long.

*Used the spot cream, spot cleanser & multi-size pimple patches.

The Breakout Hack acne kit review

On first appearance, it's very eye-catching with the colours. Very modern labelling and packaging. I found all products to be very gentle on my skin, with a light scent nothing unpleasant. Smells like a moisturiser. The pimple patches were quite straight forward and I found them to work well at drawing out what needs to come out.

The Breakout Hack's spot cleanser

The spot cleanser works a dream. It removes the dirt and grim and makeup off wonderfully. Leaves the skin feeling nice and soft afterwards without burning your eyes or face. Would definitely buy and recommend this product.

OUR APPROACH

why we're different

Tried everything and nothing's worked? 

Most spot treatments only work on the surface - think benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, drying out blemishes you can already see. But breakouts don't just live on the surface, which is why so many of us feel stuck reapplying the same products with the same disappointing results.

The Breakout Hack's Spot Cream was created to go further. Powered by our patented technology, it's a genuinely unique formula, designed to work both on the surface and deeper within the skin - helping visibly reduce the appearance of blemishes while supporting your skin's clarity over time. 

So instead of chasing every new breakout as it appears, you're giving your skin support that helps it look clearer for longer.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this spot cream works quickly to reduce breakouts overnight, with many noticing smaller, less red spots by morning. Users appreciate that it's gentle on sensitive skin without causing excessive dryness or irritation.

    This stuff is legit

    I actually purchased TBH skincare about 2.5 months ago now but I didn’t buy the acne hack, a little worried that it would irritate my dry and acne prone skin. So I used up all my goodies for a couple months and decided to bite the bullet and repurchase with the acne hack (I actually asked TBH on Instagram what they would recommend I buy and they recommended acne hack!). The picture in the pink robe is my before and the other picture is just TWO weeks later!! You can see reminants of my big angry hormonal acne but there has been a significant change in my skin. This is the first time in 12 months that u have found some relief from my hormonal acne after finding out I have endometriosis and coming off the pill. I genuinely can’t express my gratitude enough, the relief and self confidence this product has given me is worth it’s weight in gold and I will be forever in debt to the TBH team for recommending it to me!!

    Thankyou for giving me my confidence back ❤️

    AMAZING RESULTS

    I cannot believe how much these products have helped my skin in only 3 days! I have been using the acne spot treatment, acne cleanser and moisturiser and the congestion across my cheeks have significantly reduced. Cannot wait to see the results and change in my skin after months if this is the results from 3 days!

    Cleared my cystic acne

    This worked better than anything I’ve ever tried. I’ve had acne for over 15 years and nothing has cleared the cystic pimples on my chin and jawline like this product has. It worked so quickly and is even working at reducing the appearance of my scars. I hope you never stop making this because I don’t know what I’ll do without it

    Effective but strong smell!

    My daughter says this is very effective but she struggles a little with the herbal smell! As a parent I’m happy with the gentle ingredients.

    Works pretty well!

    It helps tackle any current spots but doesn’t prevent any popping up. Feels much better than harsher products. It does have a strong alcohol smell but makes my skin soft and does help tackle specific areas

FAQ'S

Still have questions?

Check out our most commonly asked questions! If you can't find the answer you are looking for, just hit up one of our friendly customer care team members! They love a chat.

Is the spot cream a moisturiser?

No, this pimple cream is a targeted treatment, not a moisturiser. We recommend keeping up a regular moisturiser as part of your daily routine alongside this product. Moisturisers should be applied over the top of the pimple spot cream (after the treatment has soaked into the skin).

Will the spot cream dry out my skin?

No, this pimple cream won't dry out your skin. The Isopropyl Alcohol used in this product, which can be considered as a drying ingredient, is balanced very specifically with other ingredients in this formula to ensure it does not strip or dry the skin.

Is the alcohol in the spot cream safe for my skin?

Yes! Our expert chemists have carefully balanced this formula to make sure they can get the most out of Isopropyl Alcohol’s antimicrobial efficacy without drying or stripping your skin! If you want to know more, we have an entire blog here with the deets!

Is this spot cream vegan and cruelty free?

YES, absolutely! We love our floofy friends… so all our products are NOT and NEVER tested on animals and are vegan and cruelty-free through and through.

How quickly will I see results from this pimple treatment cream?

This depends on what type of breakout you may be experiencing, and what skin type you have. Take our skin quiz to find out what products are suitable for you!

How do I use this pimple cream in my skincare routine?

We recommend in the AM:
1. Cleanse with spot cleanser
2. Calm and protect with the rebound barrier support serum
3. Protect with skin shady 50 face moisturiser

We recommend in the PM:
1. Cleanse with spot cleanser
2. Treat with the spot cream
3. Calm and protect with the rebound barrier support serum
4. Hydrate with the thirst trap face moisturiser

Can I use moisturiser with this pimple cream?
Yes! Like all good skincare routines, hydration is crucial. Always follow up with a moisturiser after the spot cream has soaked into the skin. And we may be biased, but our thirst trap face moisturiser was basically made for this moment.
