The Dr Somji Anti-Blemish Routine is a complete 5-step system designed to tackle spots, blemishes, post-blemish scarring, and redness. Used daily, this regime works to control excess oil, detoxify skin, and restore a smooth, radiant complexion.

WHO IT'S FOR

Oily, blemish-prone, combination skin. Breakouts, congestion, post-blemish scarring and uneven tone.

WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS

Clear skin isn't luck — it's a system. Developed by Dr Munir Somji and the Dr MediSpa clinical team. This routine mirrors the at-home maintenance protocol recommended to blemish patients following in-clinic treatments.

  • 93% reported reduced blemishes and oiliness
  • 95% agreed the Charcoal Cleanser left skin cleansed but not stripped
  • 97% said Night Recovery Cream left skin deeply hydrated, soft and smooth on waking

Binchotan Charcoal & Kaolin Clay — Detoxifying Charcoal Cleanser

Deep pore decongestion and oil absorption without stripping the skin.

Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Bakuchiol — Anti-Blemish Concentrate

Pore-penetrating exfoliation, sebum regulation, gentle cellular renewal and post-blemish mark reduction.

SOM1X®, Probiotics, Ceramides — Signature Serum

Barrier strengthening and microbiome rebalancing to create the skin environment that prevents recurrence.

Stabilised Vitamin C, Spirulina, Ectoin — Vitamin C Daily Defence SPF30

Broad-spectrum SPF30 plus antioxidant and blue light defence — essential as UV worsens post-blemish marks.

SOM1X®, Encapsulated Retinol (7% equivalent) — Night Recovery Cream

How long should I follow this routine before expecting significant improvement?

Most users notice active blemishes starting to clear within 1–2 weeks. 93% of independent trial participants reported reduced blemishes and oiliness within 4 weeks. Post-blemish marks continue to fade at 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use. The key to this routine is consistency — stopping when skin looks clear is the most common mistake. Continue the routine daily to maintain results and prevent recurrence.

What is the protocol for using all 5 steps correctly?

Morning: cleanse → Anti-Blemish Concentrate (to affected areas) → Signature Serum (full face) → Vitamin C Daily Defence SPF30. Evening: cleanse → Anti-Blemish Concentrate (to affected areas) → Night Recovery Cream. Do not skip SPF in the morning — UV exposure worsens post-blemish pigmentation marks.

Why is the Night Recovery Cream included — doesn't retinol cause breakouts?

The Encapsulated Retinol in the Night Recovery Cream uses controlled-release micro-encapsulation and is balanced with SOM1X® barrier support — significantly reducing the likelihood of irritation or purging. In trials, 97% of participants reported deeply hydrated, soft and smooth skin on waking. Retinol also accelerates cell turnover, which helps clear post-blemish marks faster.

Can I use this routine if I have both blemishes and post-blemish marks?

Yes — the routine addresses both. The Anti-Blemish Concentrate targets active blemishes; the Night Recovery Cream's Encapsulated Retinol and the Vitamin C SPF's antioxidant defence work together to fade post-blemish marks. Consistent daily use of all 5 steps delivers the fastest and most complete results.

Is this suitable for teenage skin?

Yes. The formula is suitable for all ages with blemish-prone skin. The Bakuchiol (retinol alternative) and prebiotic actives are specifically chosen to be effective without the irritation that teen skin is particularly susceptible to.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

A clinically validated retinol-functional compound from Babchi seeds that delivers equivalent cellular renewal without retinoic acid receptor binding — making it the world's leading gentle alternative for breakout-prone and sensitive skin.

As a lipid-soluble beta-hydroxy acid, Salicylic Acid is uniquely able to penetrate the sebaceous follicle — dissolving the intercellular lipid bonds that form comedones and clearing the congestion that standard cleansers can never reach.

Dr Somji’s proprietary blend of powerful active ingredients, designed to restore and maintain a healthy-looking, balanced and radiant complexion, whilst helping to soothe, nourish and protect stressed skin.

This product is amazing! It works wonders on those stubborn, painful spots that usually take days to come to the surface and heal. It noticeably speeds up the process overnight and helps clear them as quickly as possible.

I started using Dr. Somji's skincare products last year when I was struggling with severe redness around my eyes and lower face. I had tried numerous prescribed treatments from both my doctor and dermatologist, but nothing seemed to make a difference.

Within just a month of using Dr. Somji’s Anti-Blemish Concentrate, the redness completely disappeared. I now use this product daily, and my skin feels noticeably brighter, fresher, and—most importantly—completely free of redness.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with similar skin issues. Its truly been a lifesaver for me.

Great product. I use this to maintain my acne, anytime I feel a breakout coming on I use this and it really takes it down. Great to have in your bag to use as a spot dabber. I use this product with the signature serum and it works wonders.

This product is out of this world, currently obsessed and would never look back. I suffer from acne prone skin with red blemishes and this has helped me more than I could imagine. The perfect product, reduces the redness and not only that the blemishes too! The fact that this product has Azelaic Acid as one of its ingredients is out of this world. Defiantly my favourite product in my skincare regime. Thank you Dr Somji!

After using the anti-blemish concentrate for a month straight, I’m thrilled with the results. It’s noticeably reduced my post-blemish marks, leaving my skin looking clearer and smoother. What sets this product apart is its gentle formula – unlike other blemish serums I’ve tried, it doesn’t sting or irritate my skin. Definitely a game-changer in my skincare routine and will be repurchasing again!!
