Guide Picks - Top 5 Medicated Overnight Treatments
When daily treatments aren't enough, or when you want to get rid of a blemish quickly, overnight (or spot) treatments can be
effective additions to your acne fighting arsenal. These products deliver a concentrated dose of acne killing active ingredients,
be they natural or medicated, directly to existing or emerging blemishes. You put these products directly on troubled areas
and leave them on anywhere between 30 minutes to all night long. They work quickly to seal the effected area and give it a mega
dose of treatment. These products are very concentrated and should be used as spot treatments only. You can use them as soon as you
feel a zit coming on by applying the product directly on the blemish. For this purpose, medicated and all natural products are
equally effective. Essential oils are also effective spot treatments. Take a look at our top 5 picks for medicated overnight
acne blasters.

solution and should not be applied to unaffected areas. When you see or feel a zit coming on, just grab this little bottle and dab it on. The zits won't know what hit them!
2) Biore Blemish Bomb
Another overnight treatment, this product works like a acne patch. It goes on as a liquid but dries to form a protective seal
around your breakouts. While sealed up, the active ingredients in the "bomb" go to work shrinking the blemish. In the morning
you peel away the patch to reveal a much smaller zit. After only 2 nights all but the most stubborn blemishes will disappear.

stubborn acne.
5) Clean & Clear Overnight Acne Patches
