Complete acne-clearing and post-blemish treatment gel for clearer, calmer skin

The Goodbye Acne Complete Acne Treatment Gel is a lightweight, powerful gel-cream designed to clear active breakouts while addressing the appearance of post-acne marks and redness. With 2% salicylic acid it works to exfoliate inside the pore and dislodge blemish-forming residue, while 1% time-released microencapsulated retinol and vitamin C team up to help treat uneven tone and reduce the look of lingering marks. A 5% oligopeptide-10 complex purifies the look of enlarged pores and supports smoother texture, while aloe vera helps calm irritated, over-treated skin. The fast-absorbing texture allows for layered skincare or makeup application without heavy feel.

From the Peter Thomas Roth acne-care collection, this gel is formulated for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin but also works on dry or sensitive skin when used carefully. The dual-action formula clears and prevents blemishes while helping fade visible signs of past acne—like discoloration and rough patches. With silicone-free, fragrance-minimal composition and suitability for face (and recommended usage on body-areas) it supports a well-rounded regimen for users battling recurring breakouts, visible pores and post-acne texture. Regular application helps skin appear more even-toned, less congested and visibly calmer.

Who it’s best for: Oily, acne-prone or combination skin types experiencing active blemishes and post-acne marks.
What makes it different: A potent multi-action treatment combining 2% salicylic acid + retinol + vitamin C + 5% oligopeptide-10 in a gel-cream that clears, purifies and treats texture/marks in one step.

Due to manufacturer updates, packaging may vary from the image shown. Please note the product formulation remains the same.
