“I get the most random chin pimples even though the rest of my face is dry. I love that I can just dab Dr Leo on the spot instead of using acne products everywhere.”

VERIFIED BUYER Dr Leo Pimple Drying Lotion
TARGET THE SPOT. NOT YOUR WHOLE FACE.

Your Whole Face
Isn’t Breaking Out.

So why treat it like it is? Dr Leo Pimple Drying Lotion is made for those random, angry-looking spots that show up exactly when you don’t want them.

01

Clear The Clog

1.8% Salicylic Acid works inside clogged pores to help clear away excess oil and buildup where the blemish starts.

02

Calm The Look

Niacinamide helps calm the appearance of redness and supports more even-looking skin around the spot.

03

Keep It Targeted

Dab it directly onto the blemish instead of covering your entire face in acne treatment.

One spot? Treat one spot.

WHY MOST ACNE ROUTINES FEEL LIKE TOO MUCH

You Don’t Need To Turn Your Entire Face Into A Treatment Zone.

Sometimes it’s one chin pimple. One forehead bump. One breakout beside your nose.

Yet most acne routines are designed as if your entire complexion needs to be stripped, exfoliated and treated.

Dr Leo takes a more focused approach: treat the blemish while leaving the rest of your skin alone.
