TREAT – TARGET – HEAL
A fast-acting spot treatment that delivers a powerful blend of anti-blemish actives, salicylic acid, anti-inflammatory zinc, and New Zealand manuka to the source of breakouts and acne.
Exfoliating and decongesting pores, drying surface blemishes and soothing inflamed skin.
Daily Ritual: Do not shake the bottle. Dip a cotton tip into the pink sediment at the base of the bottle. Apply onto clean skin directly onto the surface area of the blemish and leave it to dry. Use daily, morning to night, as required. If you shake the bottle leave it standing overnight, and the lotion will settle.
Contraindications: Avoid using on inflamed, peeling or compromised skin.
Skin Concerns: Blemishes, Pimples, Papules, Pustules, Acne (Grades 1 & 2).
NZ Manuka & Salicylic acid 30 mL (1.0 fl oz).
RESQ is formulated as a spot treatment to target acne and its associated blemishes, which are the result of chronic inflammatory skin conditions that involve four factors:
- There is an overproduction of skin cells.
- Excess skin cells combine with environmental pollution and dirt, clogging pores.
- Acnes bacteria (Cutibacterium) are present in the pores, which thrive in oily environments.
- Increased oil often results from excess male hormones (androgens), stimulating sebum production.
Many anti-blemish products only target one or two of these factors, so creating a treatment that addressed all four within one product was necessary – as a result, this fast-acting formula gets right to the source of your pimples, papules, and pustules, which may occur not only on your face but also on the neck, chest, and back.
Salicylic Acid is unique because it breaks down the bonds between dead cells and skin cells and works deep within the pore to flush out the debris below the surface. Synergistically combined with Sulfur, a natural keratolytic used to treat blemishes and irritated skin, it works as a descaling agent, breaking down excess keratin flakes and debris in the pore. This buildup leads to congested pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and rough skin, setting the stage for blemishes and breakouts.
Manuka oil has potent antimicrobial properties, and there is impressive research into its efficacy against the bacteria that cause acne. Calamine counterbalances the potentially drying effects of these ingredients, soothing stressed, blemish-prone skin.
A multi-actioned formula that controls oil production clears pores and soothes inflammation around the blemish to promote a flawless, clear complexion.
Skin Health Benefits
- Controls excess oil production and dries up breakouts.
- soothes and calms irritation and acne inflammation
- decongests the pore-lining; flushing out dead cells and debris
- a natural antiseptic and antimicrobial, it targets bacteria in the pore responsible for breakouts and acne
Ingredients
Salicylic Acid: Works on the uppermost layer of your skin, gently dissolving the “glue” between dead skin cells to exfoliate and remove debris trapped within the pore.
NZ Manuka Honey: Scientifically proven to accelerate skin healing, Manuka honey is a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial, making it ideal for treating cutibacterium acnes.
Sulfur: A natural keratolytic clears the pore lining for improved skin clarity with continued use.
Bentonite Clay: Unique in structure; when charged in water, it becomes hydrated. The electrical and molecular components change, producing electrical charges that cause it to swell and act like a sponge, binding heavy metal toxins from your skin’s surface and drawing impurities from the skin to balance oil production.

Nial –
I have post partim acne and nothing was working on my breakouts but since using Resq they have really cleared up I’m so very greatful for finding this product it’s really helped to clear my skin
Jess –
This is the only thing I have ever tried that has ever worked for surface blemishes. Whenever I notice a whitehead pimple start to form, I dab this on a few minutes before going to sleep and I wake up to a pimple that’s at least 50% flatter or completely gone. It’s almost as though it speeds up the whole start to finish cycle of the pimple. This is down to an impressive array of acne-fighting ingredients: that is natural, non toxic, and beneficial for the skin. Add to that: Calamine lotion which helps with the inflammation aspect and you can start to see how this works on more than one level. You can’t go wrong with any of Samantha’s products. If you have sensitive skin or are conscious about the ingredients in your skincare, you can’t go wrong with any of Naked chemist skincare.

Antoine Scicluna –
This anti-blemish complex is truly a “rescue!” RESQ Anti-Blemish Complex is the first acne product which I have found to improve the condition very fast. Other products just dry a pimple out but it remains visible for weeks. The sooner you apply RESQ, the faster you get rid of the acne, and you will see pimples disappear within a few days.
Samantha Miller –
Antoine, I appreciate you have been on quite the journey with your skin, as we have with creating a journey that effectively targets cutibacterium acnes within the pore. The very fact that you have found something that quickly improves your condition is really encouraging to hear Antoine, we truly hope your skin health continues to improve. Samantha
