Suffer from adult acne? This one product might really help you out

Suffer from adult acne? This one product might really help you out

I can’t say enough good things about it.

I’m fortunate enough to say that I don’t suffer from acne. Dehydrated skin? Yes. A bit of rosacea? Yes. But so far, I’ve managed to avoid acne.

That doesn’t mean that I’m exempt from getting the odd spot, however. Oh no no. From time to time, I get the odd hormonal spot but I’ve found an amazing product that’s revolutionized my game plan when it comes to tackling spots.

It’s the Origins “Super Spot Remover” Blemish Treatment Gel. Don’t underestimate this teeny tiny 10ml product as it packs a serious punch!

It’s formulated with Saw Palmetto and 1.5% Salicylc Acid, so you can help spots disappear and prevent new outbursts from forming. Just apply a thin layer 1-3 times daily and keep in mind —a little goes a long way.

For the amount of product, it is quite pricey at around €19 (depending on where you purchase it from) but it honestly lasts ages!

I’m also a big fan of tea tree oil for spots as it’s known for amazing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It’s thought to calm redness and swelling. It may even help to prevent and reduce acne scars, leaving you with smooth, clear skin.

I normally apply it directly to the skin, but I know this is too harsh and drying for some people’s skin so you may want to dilute it first.

Blemishes, be gone!
