I went to the chemist tio buy some freederm as i thought it looked klike it would be a good product an actually work. then i saw the price and so i looked for an ulternative. I saw the booots spot want and thoguht it looked interesting. I new that witthc hazel and tea tree have been known to treat spots for somethime and i thought for £2 its worth a try. I applied the day stuff when i got home and with in a few hours i noticed that the spots had ...
...had completly gone so i was very impressed as i have used most spot creams that promis to get rid ogf your spots with in 3 days and never seem to work. It also suprrised me that this product was actually a natural cure not man made crap unlike most creams. i woudl definatly recomend this product to anybody who has tried other product befor and had no luck. Unfortunatly i think that spot products dont work for all people and that its a bit of a trial ... Read review

Advantages: Works well, helps get rid of spots, moisturises, kind to skin
Disadvantages: None

Boots Tea Tree + Witch Hazel Night Treatment Gel is a non-greasy gel which works while you sleep to help fight spots. It's available in Boots stores or on their website and costs £2.79 for a 75ml tube. Boots say this non-greasy night treatment gel contains antibacterial Tea Tree Oil and skin calming Witch Hazel which help keep your skin clear and healthy. It works intensively while you sleep to fight spot causing bacteria and lightly moisturise ...
...you just need to smooth it onto your skin with clean fingers and blend in. For best results it should be used every evening after cleansing. The gel is quite runny, not like most gels I've come across which are generally thicker in consistency. It comes in a plastic tube with a flip-top lid but the hole it comes out of is quite large, so it can sometimes be difficult not to get too much out because of the consistency of the gel. The gel goes on ... Read review

Advantages: Smells nice
Disadvantages: Spots don't go, not good value, bit too runny

...clear collection made exclusivley for boots this is one of the worst products, i have used other items from this brand and some have proved quite affective. It is alright on the value for money being priced at £2.99 (at the monet is on sale at £1.99) for 8ml. It claims to be 'an invisible gel that penetrates the pores to help clear spots' It didn't help me at all but it may depend on how bad the spot is! Please read, rate and leave comments on my ...

Advantages: Light, non-pore blocking, SPF 15
Disadvantages: Only available in larger Boots stores or online

...and are even used by Boots in their Botanics skincare range. Today I'll be waxing lyrical about the Botanics Pore Perfecting Moisturiser, which contains rosemary extract to "protect and clarify" by being antibacterial and containing antioxidants to combat the free radicals that whiz about everywhere and can do all sorts of damage to your skin. As if that's not enough, it also contains kaolin (not a herb, rather a form of white clay) to absorb excess ...
...worth mentioning here that the Boots Botanics Pore Perfecting range is the only one I've come across on the high street that both (a) advertises the added UV risk of its BHA content where appropriate and (b) offers a moisturiser with the SPF 15 recommended for use with the latter. The moisturiser itself is (rather unsurprisingly) creamy in colour and comes in a clear plastic tube with a plain, easy to understand label sporting the Botanics design ... Read review

Advantages: Alcohol-free, decent value for money
Disadvantages: Leaves skin greasy, screw-top lid, smell

...to look at alternatives. The Boots Botanics Pore Perfecting range seemed to offer products suited for slightly more mature skin still suffering from teenage problems, and I decided to give it a go. Pleased with the performance of a couple of its products, I decided to get the matching toner. Until I tried this product, I was used to alcohol-based toners and toner/cleanser 2-in-1s. Alcohol, however, can irritate the skin and is best avoided. The ...
...and that's not the only way in which it differs from mainstream toners. First of all, the container is cylindrical and topped by a screw-cap rather than a flip-top. The cream and green-coloured label partly obscures a cream and green-coloured product - in the shop, the ingredients are left to separate. The two layers represent the two main active ingredients: rosemary extract, which has antibacterial and antioxidant properties; and an Amazonian clay ... Read review
