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.

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.

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! :)

Clears teenage girl acne!

Thank goodness for GOW! Customer service worked with me to recommend different products that would help with my teenage daughter's new monthly cyclical acne. We tried a few things but this is the product that keeps her skin clear. With the gentle cleansing gel and tumeric mask, my daughter's skin is so much better! Thank you so much, GOW!

So happy to hear this, thank you :)
