Garden of Wisdom's Blemish Prone Spot Treatment targets breakouts with a soothing yet powerful blend of nature’s best skin allies. Our Blemish Prone Spot Treatment is designed to gently support the skin’s healing process while addressing the root causes of mild to moderate blemishes, and it’s no stranger to more persistent breakouts, either. This formula offers a balanced approach that calms inflammation, helps restore clarity, and supports skin barrier health without overdrying or irritation. It can be used independently or rotated with our other blemish treatments for a more personalized, adaptable routine. Featuring Neem Leaf Extract and Manuka Honey for their potent antimicrobial properties, Niacinamide and N-Acetyl Glucosamine to brighten and even out skin tone, and Seabuckthorn Seed Oil to calm and replenish, this treatment is a multi-tasking powerhouse that works in harmony with blemish-prone, sensitive, or easily irritated skin.
Method of Application Apply as needed during the treatment phase of your routine.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

I bought this for my stepson. He is 16 and currently dealing with some hormonal teen acne. This product has helped tremendously with calming and soothing his skin. We all have noticed a visible difference in inflammation and redness. I appreciate the gentle, non toxic ingredients as well.
Hi Amber 💮💮💮
Oh, this is the best news ever when a product helps those troublesome teenage years full of angst and turmoil. Anything to get the teens a break in their days to be positive and such.
for letting us know the success for your son has included less inflammation.
From One Mom to Another . . . 🥳

It's witchcraft!
I have struggled with acne for 35 years and have tried everything from benzoyl peroxide to salicylic acid to Accutane. I would get some relief here and there, but the acne always came back. And - as I got older - the drying and damage it did to my skin took its toll.
This serum was suggested to me as part of a blemish control regimen. I use the antibacterial micellar dew, the blemish tonic, and this serum. I honestly didn't think it would be strong enough to clear up acne - but it does!
The first night I used it, it cleared up a few under-the-skin bumps on my forehead and chin. Then, it started working to clear out the pores on my nose. It has even taken down larger bumps and/or allowed some to come to a head.
I have used some of the ingredients in the serum independently of each other when trying to DIY a fix, but whatever magic Markey and her team have when putting them together works wonders!
Better yet, the serum is gentle enough for maturing skin and hydrating enough for sensitive/reactive skin struggling to adjust to new hormonal levels!
Sue, as always ... your words absolutely lit up our hearts thank you for sharing your journey so openly.
To hear that you've been navigating acne for 35 years, through every twist and turn of products and promises, and have finally found something that truly works, without compromising your skin’s health, is exactly why we do what we do.
We’re so glad you gave this serum a chance, and even more so that it’s part of a regimen that supports your skin on every level. There's something so empowering about seeing real change after so much trial, especially when the solution is gentle, hydrating, and in harmony with your skin’s natural rhythm.
It may not be witchcraft (though we love that you called it that)! but, it is the result of deep care, thoughtful formulation, and the belief that your skin deserves to thrive at every age and stage.
Thank you for trusting us and for letting us walk beside you in this part of your skincare story.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Markey and Jen

Clears pimples gently
I have occasional pimples due to diet and hormone fluctuations. This serum helps clear the pimple quickly and in a natural way so that it looks like the cycle is just moving through faster.
Thank you Ashley! This is a customer fave too! :)

A staple in my routine
The blemish prone treatment serum is one of my staple GOW products. I use it daily on my full face and it keeps my skin under control and helps control oil. It's gentle but powerful. Love it!
I recommend this to EVERYONE who tells me they have KP or body acne. It’s magic, fr.
I used to get breakouts on my glutes and KP on my arms but if I use this 2-3x a week…. Clear as day! I’ll use it a bit more in the summer too.
It’s strong so be sure to wash your hands afterwards and avoid any compromised skin and BODY ONLY!
Thanks GoW for consistently having the best quality prices while still charging reasonable costs instead of inflated ones. Tysm!!!
Lindze,
Oh gosh, thank you! It means so much that you’ve found something that works so well for your skin and that you’re sharing it with others. And your words about our quality and prices really touched us. We work hard to keep good skincare within reach, so hearing this makes my day. :-)
Warmest wishes for your skincare journey and continued success!,
Markey 🌻🌻🌻
I wish you had a choice of a bigger bottle size or a big refill container. It would also be advantageous for the environment
Rita,
Thank you 😊❣️ for mentioning this!
A larger bottle or refill size is certainly worth looking into, especially for something you use often.
We appreciate the nudge and your thoughtfulness about reducing packaging. :-)
Warmly,
Markey 🌻🌻🌻
I love the color and texture of this serum. I have used 2 bottles and I'm excited about the improvement in my texture.
Shawna, this makes me smile! Two bottles in, and it's wonderful to hear you're seeing improvement in your skin’s texture.
I love that blue color, too. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to share this with us!
Warmly,
Markey 😊
The BEST lil balm I’ve ever used. And I’ve been round a time or two. Absolutely decadent.
Miles,
I LOL when I read this because I thought of Dolly Parton's 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', the movie. Aside from the laugh, thank you for the wonderful review.
I absolutely adore this balm as well.
Markey 🤠
this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!
Your GoW Team ❤️
