    Effective spot treatment that delivers results – perfect for blemished skin

    I have tested the L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Derma Control S.O.S Spot Paste for a few weeks, both as a spot treatment and as a face mask, and the results have been surprisingly positive. The product lives up to its promise to combat blemishes and reduce the visibility of pimples. The consistency is creamy but dries quickly to a more matte surface, making it pleasant to use overnight without feeling sticky. Already after two applications, I noticed that some breakouts decreased in size and redness, which aligns well with the clinical study mentioned. What really impresses is the combination of glycolic acid and niacinamide. Glycolic acid effectively exfoliates the skin and helps to clear the pores, while niacinamide soothes the skin and reduces redness. I have sensitive skin and have not experienced any irritation, which is a big plus. As a face mask, the product gives a fresh, clean feeling afterward – the skin feels less oily and the pores appear less prominent. One downside is that it can dry out the skin a bit if used too often, especially if you have dry areas on your face. Therefore, it’s important to moisturize after use. The packaging is practical and hygienic, but it would have been nice to have a clearer indication of the amount recommended for mask use. In summary, this is an effective and affordable product for those looking for quick help against pimples and blemishes. It works particularly well for acute breakouts and is a strong complement in a skincare routine for combination to oily skin.

    A really good spot treatment overnight.

    Loreal says that the product can be used in 2 ways, either as a spot treatment or as a face mask. I have tried both for a while now and think it has worked better than expected. Contains several good ingredients, such as niacinamide, glycerin, glycolic acid, etc. Paula's choice ingredient checker lists 14 under "Best", which is good. The downside, like with the rest of the range, is that this also contains fragrance. Something I personally will never understand in skincare, why fragrance is added to products that stay on the skin and can cause irritation. But some like it and have tolerant skin, but worth considering if you have sensitive skin. Spot treatment: Tried this on an area on my forehead that has been irritated for a while now in the heat (usually breaks out more in summer due to increased sweating and stress from the heat). Applied at night every other day for 2 weeks (You can start 1-2 times a week but had limited time to test so I went for it). The cream is quite thick and sits on the skin, it eventually sinks in. Not something I would wear during the day but totally fine at night. The best part is that the irritated area on my forehead got better after about 1 week, the redness had subsided and the spots had decreased. The fragrance did not irritate my sensitive skin, even though I would have preferred to avoid it completely. Face mask: In my opinion, it is too expensive for 45ml to use as a face mask, there are cheaper alternatives. And I did not experience any wow feeling as a face mask. In short, I think it does a good job as a spot treatment overnight, at an acceptable price. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.

    Face mask that keeps the skin clean and nice

    I have used the product as a face mask once a week, mainly as a preventive measure to combat blemished skin and pimples. I have applied a thin layer to the areas where I usually get breakouts, such as on my nose, chin, and forehead. The consistency is quite thick and paste-like, but it is still easy to apply evenly. Once the product has dried, it doesn't feel sticky. The scent is fresh, which suits me well since I avoid strongly scented products. After use, my skin feels cleaner and less oily, and I think the product helps keep breakouts away if I am consistent with my routine. It dries out budding pimples and quickly reduces redness and irritation. The downside is that the paste is clearly visible on the skin, so it’s not something you want to walk around with during the day – that’s why I always use it in the evening. In summary, this is a good product for anyone looking for a simple treatment to use regularly to keep the skin balanced.

    Solves the problem

    If you have trouble with so-called "acne breakouts", this will solve it in no time. It takes 5 minutes, so I usually run it while brushing my teeth, and you can already see results the next morning. Funny that it’s called S.O.S. too, because it really works in those acute situations. I will buy it again!

    S.O.S Spot Paste

    I have tried the product as a face mask and I have experienced improvements regarding problematic areas. I have noticed a difference in my pores already after a few treatments as they have become smaller. The consistency of the cream is quite thick which makes it take a little time to apply the product, but there’s no mess and the scent is pleasant.

    One of the better spot treatment products I've tried

    As a spot treatment, it is effective. I applied it to active pimples in the evening and saw a visible difference by the next morning, less redness, calmer skin, and flatter breakouts. It stays on well overnight without being sticky. Perfect for urgent needs! As a face mask, it feels cool and cleansing. After five minutes and rinsing, the skin feels clean, less oily, and the pores look somewhat smaller. It works best as a quick fix rather than a deep weekly routine. Cost-effective 2 in 1 - I like the face mask, they are really nice to alternate with the weekly routine!

    Very good as a face mask!

    Since I have impure skin but rarely get pimples, I have used Derma Control S.O.S Spot Paste as a face mask. I see a big difference in pores and impurities already after 3 treatments! The pores have become smaller. The cream is very thick, which makes it a bit difficult to spread, but on the other hand, it seems that one tube lasts a very long time.

    Great product

    I have tested L’Oréal Men Expert Derma Control S.O.S Spot Paste for two weeks, and I am impressed by how quickly it works – my pimples shrink and the redness decreases already after one night. The paste has a firm, clay-gel consistency that feels cool and balancing upon application. With its active ingredients – 5% niacinamide, glycolic and salicylic acid – the formula exfoliates and soothes without irritating the skin. Spot treat as needed or apply as a mask once a week. I notice that the pores become smaller and the skin feels less oily. The scent is perceived as mild and pleasant, and the product leaves no noticeable stickiness. An effective SOS treatment for acne for oily or blemished skin – fast-acting, easy to use, and skin-friendly.

  • So good!

    This product is so good, and when I have used it as a spot treatment, I see good results already the next day. I always use it before bed and in the mornings, so my breakouts/zits are already reduced or become less visible. I will buy it again

    WOW

    I have now used the L’Oréal Men Expert Dermo Control series twice as a face mask for almost two weeks. You can feel that it works, almost a little stinging, but nothing that hurts. It should work for 5 minutes and then just rinse off. I have only tried those classic face masks that typically do absolutely nothing except cool down the face. But this one really went deep. I just say WOW. I have very oily and greasy skin, but it took everything including the blackheads. The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot got to try the product for free.

    Fantastic product!

    Since I have problems from time to time with impurities and pimples, this cream comes in very handy for me! I have applied it to the areas where it was needed overnight, and you can already notice a clear difference in the morning that the cream has worked and reduced breakouts on the skin. The cream contains drying and antibacterial ingredients that work wonders on my skin. So if you have issues with impure skin, pimples, and similar, try this cream as you get a lot for your money. It is also very economical as it is almost like a paste, and you don’t need to use much to achieve the desired effect, and the tube will last a long time. I have used L'Oreal's skincare products for men for many years, and this new series is fantastic, and this product is excellent, and I will continue to use this series after this as well. L'Oreal has created a really good new skincare line for men! The review was conducted on behalf of Smartson - the test pilot was allowed to try the product for free.
