Why do small pimples occur?
Small pimples can affect anyone occasionally or more regularly and can have a variety of causes. Hormonal imbalance, excess sebum produced by the sebaceous glands, stress, fatigue, poor diet, smoking, overuse of unsuitable cosmetics, skin damage from shaving... the list of triggers is long.
What is a button?
The pimple formation process can be divided into three phases: obstruction of the healthy follicle canal (pore) by dead cells, accumulation of sebum following obstruction of the canal, and bacterial proliferation followed by the onset of inflammation. The pimple is then visible and sometimes painful.
What beauty routine should you adopt to get rid of a pimple?
Always remove makeup and cleanse your skin thoroughly
When a pimple appears, don't deviate from your morning and evening beauty routine: remove makeup, cleanse, toner and moisturize your skin as usual, making sure to take care of your skin with products suited to your skin type.
Maintain hygiene rules
To prevent your pimple from becoming infected with bacteria, avoid touching your blemishes with unwashed hands.
Also, if you use brushes or sponges to apply makeup, remember to wash them regularly to prevent bacteria from growing on your makeup accessories!

Step 2 - Night: dry and promote healing
Special 5 Cica-Gel is a gel with salicylic acid, known for its keratolytic properties, and cleansing tea tree essential oil. Special 5 Cica-Gel complements the action of the Grey Paste by taking over when it comes to drying out and promoting the healing of small spots.
Apply it topically every evening to perfectly cleansed skin.
Step 3 - Day: Conceal and Cleanse
During the day, it is also possible to act on the spot without neglecting the camouflage action of the treatments you apply.
For a complementary action to localized night care, apply a tinted covering stick with a purifying and cleansing action such as the PAYOT 2-in-1 Anti-Imperfections Grey Paste Pen.
Use it in the morning when applying makeup or at any time of day on unsightly spots.
