Looking for a way to tackle spots, blemishes and blocked pores for under £20? This high-street hero skincare brand’s latest launch is already delivering impressive results
If you struggle with blemishes, you’ll know that it can be hard to know exactly what products to use to try to minimise them – especially if you don’t want to (or can’t) spend a lot of money on pricey formulas or treatments. Luckily, however, a new solution has just hit the high street with some impressive results.
Much-loved accessible skincare brand The INKEY List has just launched 360° Skin Clearing Serum, priced at £16 and designed to treat all three stages of breakouts: excess oil production, active breakouts and post-blemish pigmentation. The INKEY List’s tests show a marked improvement in the look of acne in as little as two weeks, with some shoppers noticing results even sooner.

The key active ingredient in 360° Skin Clearing Serum is dioic acid, which the brand are calling ‘the next-generation breakout hero, clinically proven to balance excess oil, treat active breakouts and fade post-blemish pigmentation’. It’s also combined with well-known pore-unclogger salicylic acid at 2%, and 0.4% Dendriclear to balance oil production and reduce redness.
The before-and-after images from The INKEY List show that spots and post-acne pigmentation are significantly reduced after two weeks – and some early customer testimonials appear to back this up.
“Been using this for two weeks and the lightweight texture absorbs effortlessly and effectively leaves my skin less oily and leaves skin balanced,” one person wrote.
“I personally love The INKEY List as a brand, I really think all there products are amazing and do as they say on the bottle,” another review reads. “I have never tried this serum but I have been using it for the last 3/4 days and can already see a difference.”
“I’ve really been enjoying this product. With the recent hot weather, I’ve been breaking out left right and centre, and this has helped keep my skin under control. It’s lightweight and takes seconds to sink into my skin and super easy to use,” a third happy customer commented, going on to add a minor gripe: “I’m not the biggest fan of the scent (it smells like suncream), but I can’t smell it at all when it’s on my face.”
If you’ve got a slightly bigger budget to spend, Murad Biome Balancing Clear and Prevent Blemish Treatment Serum, £45, also comes highly recommended and tested, working even quicker: in as little as three days, according to Murad’s trials.
