A gentle, low-irritant soothing cream designed to calm sensitive, blemish-prone skin. Formulated with skin-sync Rx™, its light, hydrating texture is perfect for Mauritius's heat and humidity, helping to manage spots and redness without feeling heavy.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with unexpected breakouts or patches of red, irritated skin can be frustrating. This soothing cream offers a gentle solution to calm those troubled spots without harshness.
- Texture: A lightweight, soft cream that absorbs comfortably.
- Key Ingredients: Calamine (soothing), Zinc Oxide (protective), Niacinamide (blemish care), Panthenol (hydration), Beta-Glucan (barrier support).
- Best For: Oily, Combination, Acne-Prone, and Sensitive Skin.
- Function: Provides spot care for blemishes, soothes redness, and delivers light moisture to maintain the skin's balance.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
- THIS PRODUCT: Apply a pea-sized amount directly onto blemishes or irritated areas.
- Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Seal in the treatment and protect your skin.
Note: Already own a similar spot treatment? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Minimalist (4 steps):
- Cleanser: A gentle wash to start the day.
- Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): Adds a layer of moisture.
- THIS PRODUCT: Apply a thin layer to blemishes or red areas.
- Sunscreen SPF 30+: Essential to protect sensitive spots from darkening.
Wait 1-2 minutes after application before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Minimalist (3 steps):
- Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (oil cleanser → water-based cleanser).
- THIS PRODUCT: Apply a thicker, more concentrated layer onto blemishes as an overnight spot treatment.
- Moisturiser: If other areas of your face are dry, apply a moisturiser, avoiding the spots where the cream is applied.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM/PM:
- Amount: A pea-sized amount is enough to cover several spots or a small patch of irritation.
- Apply to: Blemishes, red spots, or areas of sensitivity. Can be used on the face and body. Avoid the immediate eye and lip area.
- Method: Gently dab onto the targeted area until absorbed. For overnight spot treatment, you can apply a slightly thicker layer.
- Frequency: Use as needed, once or twice daily on troubled spots.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very oily T-zone? This cream can help soothe and control sebum on breakouts without over-drying.
- Sensitive/reactive? This formula is designed for sensitive skin. Apply to a small patch first to ensure compatibility.
- Under makeup? Apply a very thin layer and let it dry completely for 1-2 minutes before applying SPF and makeup to minimize pilling.
Safety: Avoid applying to broken or wounded skin. Discontinue use if a persistent rash or irritation occurs. Ideal for teens and adults dealing with blemishes.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: A cooling, soothing sensation on irritated spots. Redness may appear slightly calmed.
- 2–4 weeks: With consistent use on blemishes, you may notice a reduction in the size and redness of inflammatory spots. Skin texture around treated areas feels smoother.
- 4–8+ weeks: Helps to prevent post-blemish marks from becoming dark by controlling inflammation. Overall, skin appears more balanced and less prone to angry flare-ups in treated areas.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not toothpaste on spots? Toothpaste contains irritants like fluoride and SLS that can burn the skin and worsen inflammation, often leading to darker post-acne marks (PIH). This cream uses Calamine and Zinc Oxide to gently soothe and protect the blemish, promoting healing without causing further damage.
- Why this, not picking at blemishes? Picking at spots can push bacteria deeper, leading to more inflammation, potential scarring, and dark spots. Applying a soothing cream creates a protective barrier, reduces the urge to pick, and helps the blemish heal cleanly.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Hydrating toners (like Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner), gentle cleansers (like COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser), and niacinamide serums (to help with pores and marks).
- Use With Caution: Avoid applying strong chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids directly on top of the same spot where you've applied this cream in the same routine, as this can lead to over-drying or irritation. It's better to alternate their use.
- Avoid On: Do not apply to the immediate eye area or on open, weeping skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides targeted care for blemishes without adding greasiness.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Highly suitable for calming inflammatory pimples and redness.
- Sensitive Skin: Specifically formulated for sensitive skin, offering a gentle, low-irritant solution.
- Dry Skin: Can be used as a spot treatment, but it is not sufficient as an all-over moisturizer for dry skin types. Follow with a richer cream on other areas.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Acne and Blemishes (Papules and Pustules)
- Redness and Irritation

- Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE - red marks left after spots)

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use it?
This cream is ideal for individuals with oily, combination, or sensitive skin who experience occasional or persistent blemishes, redness, and irritation.
Who should use with caution?
Those with extreme dryness may find this cream insufficient as a primary moisturizer. Individuals with known allergies to specific essential oils should be cautious.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a pea-sized amount of the cream to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
- Wait 24 hours to observe any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or swelling.
- If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on targeted areas.

- Finish: Absorbs into the skin leaving a comfortable, slightly matte, and non-sticky finish.

- pH: Not publicly disclosed, but Dr. Belmeur products are typically formulated at a skin-friendly pH of around 5.5 - 6.5.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Sorbitan Isostearate, which may be potential triggers for some individuals with fungal acne. Individual responses may vary, so a patch test is advised if you are highly prone.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The cream feels a bit drying on my spot.
Solution: This can happen as the calamine and zinc work to absorb excess sebum. Apply a light layer of a hydrating toner or serum to the area *before* applying the cream to provide a moisture base. -
Issue: My blemish isn't improving after a week.
Solution: This cream is best for calming inflammatory redness and surface blemishes. If you are dealing with deep, cystic acne or non-inflammatory closed comedones, you may need a product with stronger actives like Salicylic Acid (BHA) or a retinoid. This cream works well to soothe the irritation caused by those stronger treatments. -
Issue: The product is pilling under my makeup.
Solution: Pilling is usually caused by applying too much product or not waiting long enough between layers. Use a very thin layer on spots, pat it in gently, and wait at least 1-2 minutes for it to dry completely before applying sunscreen or foundation.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summer: This cream's lightweight texture is perfect for the hot and humid Mauritian summer. It helps to calm heat-induced redness and control oil on blemishes without feeling heavy or greasy. It can also soothe irritation from sweat and mask-wearing.
- Drier Winter: It remains effective as a spot treatment. If your skin becomes drier overall during the winter months or due to air conditioning, continue to use this on blemishes but be sure to pair it with a more nourishing moisturizer on the rest of your face.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
