Take a look at the ingredients in most blemish-battling spot treatments and you’re likely to see one or two of a select few tried-and-true components; namely, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur or retinol. But we were taken aback by the complete lack of all the usual suspects in ilike‘s paprika spot treatment.
Obviously, paprika is one of the clutch players in this Hungarian formula, lending its antioxidants, like vitamin C, to the brush-on benefits. Capsaicin, also a pepper derivative, acts as an anti-inflammatory soother for those big, red blemishes that can’t heal fast enough.
With the help of vitamin B, bioflavonoids and minerals, this piquant pick speeds up the acne cycle so skin looks and feels softer and less angry far faster, all without the sometimes-harsh typical acne ingredients.
