Description

  • Anti Bump Solution (formerly named Anti Cyst Treatment) by Renée Rouleau is a powerful spot treatment formulated to provide a quick recovery for reducing visible inflammation of stubborn cystic acne bumps that develop deep within the skin and can linger for weeks—or even months. When used immediately on a newly formed cyst, most will find they get a 50% quicker recovery (if not faster) than when using nothing at all. This revolutionary product has 30+ years of proven results and has completely replaced the need for expensive cortisone injections for many of its users. If you struggle with large, painful blemishes and bumps, this safe and proven acne treatment is definitely for you. The result? Clearer skin with less visible bumps and cysts under the skin. 

    For cyst and bump sufferers, we also highly recommend using Vitamin C&E Treatment daily under sunscreen and Post-Breakout Fading Gel as a spot treatment to fade the dark marks that stubborn cysts can leave behind for weeks or even months to reveal brighter, more even-toned skin. Rapid Response Detox Masque is very effective for preventing the appearance of all types breakouts, including cysts, pustules, papules, and monthly hormonal blemishes. It is included in our Rapid Response Detox Kit. If your breakouts are predominantly on the chin and jawline area, check out our Chin Breakout Treatment Kit

    Note: Cysts should never be picked at since they develop and heal deep within the skin and are not meant to come out the surface. Avoid picking and instead apply Anti Bump Solution. It's a lot easier to conceal a closed bump with makeup than an oozing scab. Read 8 tips for preventing chin and jawline breakouts.

  • How To Use

  • To effectively use Anti Bump Solution to reduce the appearance of cystic acne and blemishes, apply one drop to clean skin as soon as cyst becomes visible. When used in the morning or evening, first perform your regular routine. Next, take a damp tissue or Q-tip and wipe the affected area clean before applying. Anti Bump Solution should be applied as the last step. Use day or night until the bump is no longer visible. This treatment can be effective for older cysts that are still lingering under the skin.

      Shrinks undergrounders without flaking or peeling

      This stuff is awesome. Cures deep acne cysts in about a week for me. They at first grow and then shrink but never get crusty or flaky or break open, so I can easily cover them with makeup during the healing process. No redness or irritation. I have mostly used it as a spot treatment, but you can also use it all over your chin to surface everything that is coming up in the next month. Will rebuy again and again. Better than any other product including microdart patches.

      Great product for cystic acne

      I have had cystic acne, oily skin and enlarged pores for 40+ years. After reading about this product online, I decided to try it. I have used it for 15 days now and I have seen great results. It has reduced the size of my existing cysts and has prevented new ones from developing. It also has faded the existing scars due to past breakouts. I use it twice a day on my T-zone after cleansing with the Ren’ee AHA/BHA Blemish Control Cleanser. Thank you, Ren’ee, for a great product that produces real results!

      pricy, but VALUABLE.

      dealing with hormonal ace and this has SAVED my skin, and the best feature is that it does not make you peel post use.
