Advantages: Makes skin feel smooth

...are good at fighting spots. Boots do a whole range of tea tree and witch hazel stuff but this the only one I have tried so far. It cost £2.79 It comes in a squeezy tube and the idea is you put it on at night after cleansing and it's supposed to treat spots. At first contact with the skin the gel kinda melts and to be honest I wasn't holding out much hope. After applying to my face I was quite surprised. It went on smoothly and wasn't at all sticky ...

Advantages: It works! Smells quite good
Disadvantages: Stings a bit sometimes.

I suffer from oily acne prone skin which is what prompted me to write this review. On waking up one Saturday morning with a particulaly bad out break of spots I took myself off to the local high street to see what I could find and this T Zone Spot stick was one of several products I came back with. On getting into town I was faced with a choice of several shops that would possibly stock something I was after. I ruled out Tesco pretty quickly because ...
...never ever has what you went in for. I looked round several small independant chemists and didn't find much until I stumbled across Boots. I do have to say that this was a small boots store and I wasn't holding out much hope of finding anything. Surprisingly I did. The T Zone spot stick cost me £3.62. It's a small glass tube with a screw on lid packaged in a cardboard box. The tube contains a greenish colourd liquid which smells of T Tree, a smell ... Read review

Advantages: Gets rid of large pores and blackheads, cheap, smells nice
Disadvantages: None!

...toner ran out (a disastrous Boots one) and I had to buy a new one! Off I went to Boots, and i had a look around the Botanics section to see if any caught my eye. This little badboy did. With something like Amazonian clay extract and rosemary extract, how could I argue? And for £2.99? I was running to buy it! To be honest, it takes a couple of weeks to really make a noticeable change, but boy, does it make a change! Use it both morning and night ...
...blackheads around my nose and forehead had shrunk to almost nothing!! I was delighted! The only thing is, you have to carry on using it to keep other large pores from reforming and so spots etc are kept at bay, but for £2.99 its a very cheap and fantastic skin routine in my opinion! Perfect for those with oversized pores and/or blackheads or oily skin as it also targets shine problems too! Brilliant! ... Read review

It's quickly and easily absorbed and works by replacing lost moisture and forming a protective barrier, leaving your skin feeling soft and comfortable again". ***Is it Non-Greasy*** I'm ...
...cream three times a day may help keep your skin problems at bay but I have often found that it can lead into a breakout of spots or cause my nose area to be very greasy. It also takes a while to soak in so your skin feels oily after use. ***Does it Sooth skin?*** When used regularly the cream can be really effective and did help keep my eczema at bay but when I used facial wipes I found that my eczema came back and the cream usually found it hard ...
