A clear spot gel that dries out blemishes and calms redness within hours
Uriage Hyséac SOS Drying Gel is a targeted spot-care gel for combination to oily, blemish-prone skin. Applied on a pimple, it forms an invisible "patch effect" that helps it dry out, with visibly less redness after four hours in the brand's evaluation. Its formula combines natural salicylic acid from willow bark, which exfoliates and helps unclog pores, with alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic and malic acid) that speed up skin renewal. Uriage Thermal Water keeps the skin comfortable while the gel does its work.
The texture
A transparent gel that dries in seconds and becomes invisible on the skin. It does not pill under make-up.
Who it suits
- Occasional pimples on combination to oily skin
- Teenagers and adults from 16 with blemish-prone skin
- Anyone who wants to target one spot without drying the whole face
- A discreet fix during the day, under make-up
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains alcohol, which helps the gel dry quickly but can sting on irritated or very sensitive skin. Apply it only on the blemish, not all over, and use sunscreen during the day since the acids make skin more sensitive to the sun.
How long one tube lasts
Only a tiny drop is needed per spot, so the 15ml tube lasts several months with occasional use.
