How to Treat Blind Pimples

Blind pimples are some of the most frustrating blemishes to deal with. They sit deep under the skin, feel tender to the touch, and often show up right when you want your complexion looking its best.

Unlike surface breakouts, blind pimples don’t always form a visible whitehead — which means harsh scrubs, aggressive acids, or picking can actually make redness and irritation worse.

The good news? Bedrock’s Porefector takes a targeted, zinc-powered spot cream approach — combining 30% zinc oxide with calming plant extracts to help support skin while stubborn underground bumps start looking calmer, smoother, and less noticeable.

Today we’re breaking down what blind pimples really are, what causes them, and how to support clearer-looking skin using Bedrock’s Porefector.

What Are Blind Pimples — And Why Do They Hurt So Much?

Blind pimples (sometimes called underground pimples or cyst-like blemishes) form when oil, bacteria, and debris get trapped deep inside pores.

Instead of rising to the surface quickly, they stay under the skin — creating:

• Tender, swollen bumps

• Redness or pressure

• Texture that makeup tends to emphasize

• Breakouts that linger longer than typical pimples

Because they sit below the surface, over-exfoliating or squeezing often increases inflammation rather than helping.

A gentler, protective approach tends to work better — especially for skin that is reactive or acne-prone.

Is Zinc Oxide Good for Blind Pimples?

Zinc oxide is one of the most underrated ingredients for supporting blemish-prone skin.

Instead of aggressively stripping the skin, zinc sits on top and forms a protective layer that helps:

• Calm redness 

• Support a more balanced oil environment

• Create a protective barrier while skin settles

• Soothe irritation around stubborn bumps

Why Zinc Oxide Is the Pore Powerhouse — At the heart of Porefector is 30% zinc oxide, a high-performance ingredient known for its ability to provide a protective barrier to shelter skin, help detox, purify and clarify pores, support calmer, more balanced-looking skin, and calm redness that can exaggerate pore appearance. Instead of clogging pores, zinc oxide helps keep things orderly — rebalance oil, calm congestion, and refine texture for smoother-looking skin.

Paired with plant extracts like calendula, tea tree, frankincense, and clary sage, Porefector supports skin without overwhelming it — making it good for sensitive skin that still needs real blemish support.

How to Treat Blind Pimples 

If you’re dealing with deep, painful blemishes, the goal isn’t to “attack” your skin — it’s to support it.

Here’s the Porefector nighttime routine many customers follow:

1. Cleanse gently — avoid stripping or aggressive exfoliation

2. Dab on Porefector directly onto blind pimples or textured areas

3. Apply your regular moisturizer

4. Let it work overnight

Because Porefector sits on the skin like a calming zinc shield, it helps create an environment where skin can look more balanced over time — without the cycle of dryness and irritation.

How Customers Use Porefector for Blind Pimples

One of the most powerful things about zinc barrier care is how differently it can show up for each person’s skin journey. Here’s what real Bedrock customers have shared.

Hormonal Texture + Post-Pregnancy Skin Changes — Brooke’s Experience

“This stuff is amazing! Since and during my pregnancy my skin has not been the same and it made me so self conscious. I suffered from horrible tiny bumps all over my face… I have been using the @bedrockskin Porefector for just over a week and already my skin has changed so much for the better.”

Hormonal shifts can create clusters of tiny underground bumps that makeup tends to highlight. Brooke noticed improvement quickly after adding Porefector into her routine — especially around her chin, a common area for hormonal breakouts.

Deep, Painful Pimples — Joanne’s Experience

“I’m an adult 35 yo woman with severe hormonal acne and they’re deep, painful pimples… nothing draws them out like Porefector, sometimes they just go away and sometimes they draw to a head. Porefector saves my skin DAILY.”

Blind pimples don’t always follow the same path. Some settle down quietly while others surface — and Joanne found that consistent zinc support made a big difference in how her breakouts behaved.

---

Redness + Irritated-Looking Skin — Renee’s Experience

“I definitely notice that my face is a lot less red and irritated in appearance and small blemishes calm down noticeably faster.”

---

Stubborn Cystic Spots — BK’s Experience

“By far the best spot treatment I’ve ever used. Had a cystic acne spot that I’d been fighting for months, and after one use of Porefector it was noticeably smaller.”

Targeted zinc application can be especially helpful for deep blemishes that linger beneath the surface longer than typical breakouts.

Why Porefector Works Differently

Many acne products rely on harsh ingredients that leave skin tight, flaky, or irritated — which can actually make blind pimples look more noticeable.

Porefector takes a different approach by combining:

• 30% zinc oxide for barrier protection

• Arrowroot powder to help keep skin feeling balanced

• Calendula extract for soothing support

• Helichrysum, clary sage, frankincense & tea tree to help clarify pores

Instead of stripping the skin, this combination supports a calmer environment where complexion looks smoother and more even over time.

The Bottom Line: Treat Blind Pimples Gently 

Blind pimples can feel impossible to manage, but your skin doesn’t need harsh treatment to look clearer.

With consistent use, barrier-focused formulas like Porefector help support calmer-looking skin, reduce the appearance of redness, and refine texture — all while staying good for sensitive skin.
