Nighttime skin rescue uses the pate grise pimple paste in a targeted dot-on application to soothe and dry active spots at first use. Payot’s Pâte Grise Original is a refined overnight blemish treatment formulated with probiotics, meadowsweet extract, glycolic and lactic acids to gently exfoliate and regulate skin texture. Organic tea tree essential oil purifies and helps combat acne-causing bacteria while green clay mattifies and absorbs excess oil without leaving residue. The airy, non-greasy texture sets quickly so the cream stays on the spot through the night. Suitable for occasional breakouts, it supports faster breakout relief and calming of redness.

How it works

Payot Pâte Grise combines mild exfoliating acids (glycolic and lactic) with soothing probiotics and meadowsweet to support skin renewal without over-drying. Organic tea tree essential oil contributes purifying action to address bacteria associated with spots, while green clay absorbs excess sebum for a mattified look. Applied in a small amount directly on a blemish at night, the preparation acts as an overnight zit remedy and spot corrector to reduce the appearance and discomfort of a pimple.

Recommended use

Apply a small dab of the paste directly onto clean, dry skin at the site of the blemish before sleep. Leave on overnight; the formula is designed to dry quickly and not transfer or leave heavy residue on bedding. For best results, use as part of a targeted nighttime skincare routine and avoid applying over large irritated areas. Do not use on broken or heavily irritated skin.

Texture, feel, and compatibility

The finishing texture is airy and mattifying rather than oily, making it suitable for combination to oily areas concerned with occasional breakouts. As a dermatological balm-style spot treatment, it acts locally without replacing overall acne care regimens. Because formulations can vary with skin sensitivity, introduce the treatment gradually if you are new to glycolic or lactic acids.

Packaging and contents
