I have been on the hunt for a
fast working and effective anti spot gel for the longest time. I've tried a few
drugstore makes in the past but none of them felt as if they were doing
anything. Then recently I used the Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment
gel which unfortunately did nothing for me besides burn my skin leaving behind
a horrid dark blemish that I couldn't shift for weeks. The Origins formula
really didn't work for me and I've heard a few other horror stories, hence I
was a little sceptical and nervous about trying the Clinique formula especially
as some Clinique products have been too harsh for my skin in the past. However
the Sales assistant convinced me to buy the spot gel which came in at £13.50 which
I thought was pretty reasonable especially as I bought it along with the
infamous Clinique under eye mascara (review coming soon) and was therefore
eligible for a free gift with all sorts of goodies. (I think Clinique is
brilliant for freebies so its always worth popping over to there counter to see
what's on offer.)
So on purchasing the Anti-
Blemish gel I was super weary of the damaging effects of anti spot formula's
but I needn't had worried. Apart from an initial sting the Gel has been so kind
to my sensitive skin! (The sting means its working!!)
Now, as soon as I feel a spot
surfacing I waste no time at all in applying the gel straight on to the
effected area. I've found that you have to use the product straight away, if
the spot gets comfortable then it'll take longer for it to shift so you got to
be real quick! Once the gel is applied it creates a visible clear layer over
the spot which looks like a bit of cling film on your skin, I've found that
this is visible through makeup and doesn't look very attractive. So I would
most definitely recommend applying the gel before bed after cleansing the face.
The packaging for the product
is very easy to use and perfect to pop in your bag for weekends away. The
nozzle means it applies easily to a cutip, and is no mess no fuss kinda product
which is so handy in the midst of a verging pimple problem!
Peak - Works quickly and
effectively to calm any menacing spots :)
Pit - Doesn't work as well on
a mature spot :(
