I write about new beauty products for a living so it’s always a little surprising—and fun—when I try a brand that’s been around forever but is new to me. That’s the deal with Payot Paris skin care. The brand has been around since 1920—yes, literally 100 years. In this case, that’s a good thing. It was started by Nadia Payot who was one of the first female doctors and was even involved in the women’s rights movement. Pretty cool, right? She used her medical and scientific background to create skin care products.
Payot also became one of the first brands to open a spa in France. Now, it’s available in 70 countries in more than 7,500 places. Yes, people are that obsessed. One of the most popular products is the Emergency Anti-Imperfections Care cream. Fans swear it actually speeds up a pimple’s maturation process making it gone even faster. With the maskne we’re all getting wearing cloth masks, this is a must-try.

Pâte Grise L’Originale (the French name) contains sweet almond to soothe skin, as well as zinc oxide and shale extracts to control excess sebum and reduce the appearance of breakouts. A little goes a long way here. Just apply it to the area you’re breaking out and head to bed. This formula can stain your sheets so I like to pop on a hydrocolloid pimple patch (the ones without actives).
Once your pimple is gone, you’ll want to be sure to moisturize and use ingredients that will reduce the look of post-acne marks. Payot Paris has got that covered, too—and so much more. Shop some of our other faves, below.
