The Purifying Rescue Gel dries blemishes fast with no irritating side effects such as peeling or over-dried skin and seals the opening over the blemish to protect it from pollutants and makeup. The Rescue Gel supports the skin's self repair process with the use of soluble beta glucans from Baker's Yeast and also contains botanical Coneflower extracts, which in laboratory tests has shown to counteract the tissue-destructive enzyme known to cause inflammation in acne prone skin and that can contribute to the pitted scars often seen when acne lesions heal.
