About Us
We Believe Everyone Deserves to Love Their Skin
Breakout + Aid was born from a deeply personal place — the frustration, self-consciousness, and relentless search for something that actually works when your skin is fighting against you. We know what it feels like to wake up, look in the mirror, and let a breakout define your whole day. We've been there. And we decided to do something about it.
Our Story
Founded in Dublin, Ireland, Breakout + Aid started with one simple belief: acne shouldn't hold you back. Our founder experienced first-hand the emotional toll that blemish-prone skin can take — the cancelled plans, the layers of makeup, the endless trial-and-error with products that promised everything and delivered nothing. That frustration became the fuel for something better.
We set out to create a skincare brand that was honest, effective, and genuinely kind to skin. No gimmicks. No harsh chemicals that strip your skin bare. Just targeted, science-backed formulas designed to treat blemishes at the source — and help you feel confident in your own skin again.
Our Mission
At Breakout + Aid, our mission is simple: everyone deserves to love their skin. We know that acne can be tough, but we're here to help you feel confident and beautiful, no matter what your skin looks like. Whether you're dealing with the occasional spot or persistent breakouts, we've got your back — and your face.
The Science Behind Our Products
Every Breakout + Aid product is formulated with carefully chosen, proven ingredients that work in harmony with your skin:
- Salicylic Acid — A gold-standard BHA that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells, preventing and treating breakouts at the source.
- Niacinamide — A powerhouse vitamin B3 that calms redness, minimises pores, and helps fade post-blemish marks for a more even complexion.
- Tea Tree Oil — A natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient that targets blemish-causing bacteria without over-drying the skin.
Our product range — including our bestselling Emergency Dots, Nose Patches, and Cleansing Bars — is designed to fit seamlessly into your routine, giving you fast, visible results when you need them most.
