Will truly be ride or die for the rest of my life

All your products have done miracles for my hormonal acne. I struggled for more than a year trying to fix it but nothing worked until I came across The Breakout Hack. CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!

The Breakout Hack acne treatment bundle

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.

Works wonders!!

The Breakout Hack has helped my hormonal acne immensely, the products were so easy to use, didn't have any harsh smells and made my skin feel soft.

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.

    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

    Fav Fav Fav

    This spot cream is honestly one of my favourites! It works really well on breakouts and helps calm them down quickly. I noticed my spots looked less red and irritated after using it, and it helped them clear up faster. The formula is easy to apply, doesn’t feel heavy, and works well with the rest of my skincare routine. Definitely a go-to product whenever I feel a breakout coming on! Best of all it doesnt affect my sensitive skin!!!

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 product is not a moisturiser, but rather a topical treatment for the skin. 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 spot treatment (after the spot treatment has soaked into the skin).

Will the spot cream dry out my skin?

No, the spot cream should not 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.

Should I be worried about the level of alcohol in the spot cream?

No, our chemists have crafted this formula very carefully 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!

Are the products vegan and cruelty free?

YES, absolutely! We love our floofy friends… NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS and no animal products used!

How quickly will I see results?

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 should I incorporate this into my current 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+

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 moisturiser

Should I continue with a moisturiser whilst using the spot cream?
