Advantages: Reduced spots, worked quickly, absorbed well Disadvantages: Dried my skin, stang slightly, doesn't work on everyone
Recently I’ve been having some problems with spots. These are unfair spots as in they haven’t been brought on my bad diet, a poor facial care routine or any other factor I can think of, I lead a pretty healthy lifestyle with lots of exercise, water and a good diet and yet they keep coming! They are particularly nasty spots as well, big, red lumpy ones which hurt if you squeeze (although obviously you wouldn’t do this!!). In my attempt to get rid ... ...my skin routine, cleansers, exfoliaters, masks, down to using tea tree oil as spot treatment; I changed my diet, drank more water, increased my fruit intake and none of this helped these nasty spots!! Most my skin looks healthy, alive and happy… there are just a few things ruining it!! I was going pretty mad with the whole spot thing and was prepared to try pretty much anything! So while in Sainsbury’s with the mother I slipped a box of ‘Clean and ...

Advantages: gets to work after 4 hours, made my spots shrink, reduced redness Disadvantages: none
...was on offer, 2 Clean & Clear productsfor £4.99 which is quite good as most of the products are over £3.00 anyway!
The product itself is in a small box and when opened is a small 15ml tube. The packaging is quite nice its silvery purple with dark purple writing. It promises on the front of the package, "Reduces spots in 4 hours" brilliant.
The information on the back of the packaging tells us that, "Its unique formula containing spot-fighting ingredients ... ...bacteria and effectively purifies the skin, all without irritating or over-drying" and it tells us how to use,"Apply the invisible gel directly onto the spot. Suitable to use under and over make-up, whenever needed".
I have no idea where my spots started to come from on the right side of my face, grrr! I usually have quite clear skin so I am quite baffled..anyway I thought I'd give this a go!
I washed my face using the Shine Control wash that I ...

Advantages: Errr......none? Disadvantages: It doesn't work!
...to choose? I spotted Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel and remembered having seen it recently advertised on TV. The advert went something like this: 2 girls talking about a party the following evening
Girl 1 has a spot so says she can’t go
Girl 2 introduces her to Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel
Girl 1 tries Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel and wakes up in the morning with no spot
Hurray she will go to the ball…happily ... ...normal cleansing regime, I applied Clean and Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel to my spot.
The next morning I awoke to find (cue horror film music) my spot was still there. Neither redness nor spot size had visibly reduced overnight! How could this be? I applied Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel morning and evening (for several days) as directed (by the tube) but to no avail; my spot disappeared no quicker than it would have done on its own accord. ...

In the past i have tried many different spot creams to get rid of my spots.Which as usual didnt work.I saw the advert for this one and i was lured into the sense that it would actually work.
It was very expensive but i was very eager to try it when i read "Reduces spots in 4 hours" it was on offer so i decided to give it try.
The gel is clear and squeezes out so it was quite easy to use.The first time i used it i believed there was a difference ... ...when you apply it for the first couple of minutes it stings like mad.
So i kept using it but none of my spots reduced in size or redness and the gel does not propably stay on the spot.The stinging was getting really bad so i stopped using it.
I am very dissapointed with this spot gel which claims to "reduce spot size in 4 hours".I also spent a lot of money on this product which has been wasted and almost all of the tube left over.But however some ...

I have always used a variety of skin products to try and help clear my skin, I had seen this products advertised alot and in the shops and always wanted to buy it but was put off because of the price, luckily one day it was on a offer saving you a pound so thought i would buy it and give it a go, I was eager to try it as it said that it could reduce spots in just 4 hours. When I got home I immediately put the product over my spots even though I still ... ...that it would still work over make up. After about 10 seconds of the product being put on my skin it was stinging my skin and felt abit like it was burning, I decided to leave it on my skin and after a while it stopped stinging. I looked in the mirror and noticed the skin around my spots had gone very dry and was very noticable over my make up, so thats two flaws i had found out from the product already. I have now been using this product for 3 days ...

Advantages: The product does work after a couple of days application Disadvantages: Smell
I was very sceptical about trying this product. I have tried many 'off the shelf' skincare brands before and as I have combination skin, which is sensitive and sometimes oily, they have left my skin sore and very red. I have to be honest and say I wasn't holding out much hope for this product working, but I was desparate to try and get something to help the painful, red lumps on my chin. It says on the tube that it reduces spots in 4 hours. For me ... ...later. The spot wasn't so sore but was still there. It hadn't got any smaller. After about 3 days the spots which I had applied this gel to had virtually disappeared. I applied this gel to my spots about 2-3 per day. The main thing that put me off was the strong smell of what I think is probably the alcohol but it does wear off after a few minutes. I found that it did sting sometimes when the gel was applied but it wouldn't put me off buying it because ...

Advantages: Works a little bit Disadvantages: Advert over exaggerates product, high price.
At first this product seems like a great solution, if you have a big noticeable spot, you can put it on, and the next day it won't be so red and noticeable. great in theory....
The first thing i noticed when using it was the smell, it smells like a cheap sparkling rosé wine. Luckily this smell fades quite soon after you rub it in.
Secondly for about 10 mins after you apply it, the skin on and around the spot gets a clear plasticy sheen over it. ... ...out, as it will be even more noticeable.
Does it work? - Well it does defiantley do something, at least on my skin, i guess it all varies from skin type, to spot type. When using it over night i did notice a reduction in size and redness, but it definatley didn't make the spot go away any quicker than normal. It defiantley does something, but the advert on tv totally over-exagerates it's effect, this leads to you really pretty ripped off, especially ...

With two days to go before my boyfriend arrived, I decided to beautify myself & blitz all the blemishes that were threatening to blossom before our holiday. I saw the television adverts lauding the benefits of this wonder-treatment & hurried out to buy it.
On first glance, you don't seem to get much very for your money - just 15 ml of ... ...I had faith that a small amount would suffice.
Applying the gel was easy & not particularly messy, although I would recommend washing your hands post-application. I felt some tingling after application but no real pain.
The manufacturer states that the product can be applied over or under make-up, so I used it over a moisturiser, applied make-up & then set off for work. Imagine my surprise when over the course of the next two days, my previously ...

Advantages: I noticed a difference Disadvantages: Expensive and exagerated on adverts
I admit that I was swayed slightly by the advert for this product, but I didn't actually believe (luckily) that the miracles advertised would happen to my skin.
It is quite expensive, I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on offer. But I like to try new things. It's a small tube (15ml).
The gel is clear and easy to apply. I use it morning and night, and have noticed that my spots seem to be reduced in appearance so they are no longer screaming ... ...quicker, but the fact they are no longer as noticeable is good.
Another review mentioned the smell wasn't very nice. To be honest I haven't taken much notice. As soon as the gel dries the smell disappears anyway. It dries quickly. When I put it on in the mornings I put concealer over the top. You need to be careful just to dab though and not rub as the gel can rub off your skin.
Overall, I am pleased with the gel as it has made a difference to ...

Quick review of Clean & Clear Quick Clear Treatment Gel
I used the Clean & Clear Treatment gel a while ago and notices it was a waste of time and didn't do anything to my spots. But the other day i thought i would try it again. I applied it correctly but it was burnt for about 5 minutes as soon as i applied it. The next morning i found that it was actually burning my skin, some of my skin had started to peel, and other areas where i had used it were red, itchy and looks shiny and creased, like a burn would. I have no allergies so it was not a reaction.
i would recommend people try a different stop treatment method unless you want a burnt face. The Witch stick is very effective. ...

i thought id give this product ago, even though its only a small bottle you only need a small amount so it doesn't run out too quickly, i dont know about others but when i rubbed it in after cleansing i found it didnt work too well.
