Most spot treatments rely heavily on drying alcohols that can strip skin and disrupt its barrier. Essano Oil Control Niacinamide Rapid-Action Spot Gel is designed to target blemishes while respecting your skin, combining oil-controlling actives with calming botanicals to keep problem areas feeling balanced, not parched.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) works to refine the look of pores, support a stronger-feeling barrier and even the appearance of post-blemish marks. Zinc lactate and witch hazel help regulate the feel of surface oil, while willow bark (a natural source of salicylates) assists with gentle exfoliation around congested pores. Tasmanian pepperberry, centella, green tea, liquorice and chamomile extracts work together to visibly calm redness and discomfort.

The formula is a clear, lightweight gel that spreads easily and absorbs quickly without a sticky or greasy feel. It dries down to a soft, natural finish that sits comfortably under skincare and make-up, so you can reapply during the day without disrupting your routine. Skin feels refreshed, not tight or overly matte.

Use as a targeted treatment on areas prone to excess oil and breakouts, applying to clean, dry skin before moisturiser. The precise gel format makes it easy to treat individual blemishes or oilier patches without over-treating the rest of your face. Consistent daily use helps support clearer, more even-looking skin.

Pro Tips

• Apply at the very first sign of a blemish to help minimise its visible size and duration.
• Limit use on drier areas and keep application strictly targeted to avoid unnecessary dryness.
• Wait until the gel has completely dried before applying make-up to prevent lifting or pilling.
• Combine with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser and fragrance-free moisturiser to support the skin barrier while treating breakouts.
