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.

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.

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
