Fed up of looking at bothersome blemishes on your Zoom chats and work conference calls?
While there's no magic formula to instantly remove a pesky pimple, the best selling spot treatments on Amazon that everyone is raving about will certainly help to reduce redness, swelling and even scarring.
Hydrocolloid spot patches are super-popular, and work by placing them over the spot, while active ingredients like salicylic acid will help to unclog pores and reduce redness over six hours. The patch also helps to prevent touching and picking, which can cause scarring.

Best-selling spot treatments from Amazon shoppers are raving about
1. Dots for Spots - The Original Acne Patch
This spot treatment is the number one bestseller on Amazon. It's suitable for all skin types and is cruelty-free as well as being free from all nasties like sulphate, parabens and fragrances.
The translucent dots are placed over the spot and left for six hours, so overnight is a great time to put them on, but they can be used in the daytime too.
Hydrocolloid technology creates a moist environment and optimum conditions for your spot to heal. It can also help prevent a scab forming, which can reduce the possibility of scarring.
One rave review said: "These are perfect! They stick so well and look so natural you forget you've got them on. I wore two under makeup and went about my day as usual. You could see them up close but who cares, eh? By the end of the day the swelling had gone down massively on the big blind one and all the crap from the other one had been drawn out into the dot! Very satisfying. I'm an avid spot picker and these help massively."

It also contains spot-fighting superhero salicylic acid for deep pore penetration without irritation. It has a balanced pH level of 6, which means it's non-drying yet also won't create excess oil.
There's also vitamin C, which reaches the lowest layers of the skin to optimise regeneration and minimise scarring.
Shoppers love it, with one enthusing: "All I can say is this cream is amazing. I have tried so many creams over the years but none have impressed me like this one, I was amazed at how quickly it has worked. I've struggled for over 8 months with a severe breakout of acne, I've spent a lot of money to try and clear my skin. I just wish I had found this sooner. I have been using this for nearly two weeks now and my skin is virtually clear."

The treatment helps to create a clearer, healthier-looking complexion over time, and is free from harsh chemicals, as well as being cruelty-free.
One Amazon review said: "I’ve never written a review before but this has changed my life. I’ve suffered with bad spots for years 13-32 and tried everything. Then I had a baby last year and developed acne like never before.
"This stuff has cleared it all up! I very, very rarely get a spot now and when I do it’s because I’ve forgotten my cream for a few days. I only apply once a day before bed, because I do find it has a smell. But it’s worked wonders. I don’t think it’s bad value at all, a tub will last me months as one tiny dab does my whole face. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Very happy."

6. Acquel Acne Blemish Spot Treatment
All these best selling spot treatments have salicylic acid in common, and this also contains the miracle-worker, which penetrates pores to reduce the size and redness of spots.
This spot treatment offers rapid relief, thanks to antiseptic and antibacterial properties that kill the bacteria in your pores, to keep them clear and your complexion smoother. It moisturises and balances your skin oils, as well as boosting its immunity and helping to prevent further breakouts.
Customers love it, and one said: "I found with previous spot creams that most tend to leave a slight coating or residue on your skin meaning you can’t really use them under makeup so you can only really use them at night. This one, however, is very similar to a moisturiser and soaks into your skin leaving no residue, so it’s perfect to use under makeup. It does definitely help reduce spot redness and size, especially overnight as you can apply it a bit thicker. Also it comes in a very generous 50ml tube so will last ages. Great product."

7. Neutrogena Clear & Defend Rapid Clear Treatment
Need to reduce the appearance of blemishes, fast? This spot treatment has got you covered. It starts working to reduce the appearance of spots straight away, helping to unclog pores.
The fast-absorbing formula contains exfoliating ingredients and salicylic acid, and quickly reduces excess oil, and helps purify your skin without drying it out.
Amazon shoppers rave about it, with one saying: "I used this product when I suddenly began to breakout on my face and it really does what it says it will. I use it in areas where I am prone to breakouts and it has kept them at bay. If I do have a breakout after not using it, this works on them very well. You only need a small amount on your fingertip at every use and it goes far. It isn’t a thick clumpy product."
Another said: "I really like this stuff. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make spots 'disappear' overnight, but it definitely makes them calm down and shrink. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it for anyone with aggressive, painful spots."
