Soap & Glory Dr Spot

Soap & Glory DR SPOT | £8 | Boots

A few too many Quality Streets, the daily glass (or three) of wine, seconds on the second roast dinner and only sales shopping for exercise...these are just a few things that cause the festive period to wreak havoc on your skin. Sadly Christmas didn't let me get away with anything this year and I've been experiencing some serious breakouts that required immediate action. Typically, as the bad skin started my Origins Super Spot Remover ran out and I was left with no choice but to take a mad dash to Boots to grab anything I could find to bring about some complexion control. I went for this Soap & Glory DR SPOT because I've been eyeing up their new skincare range for a while and it seemed the most similar thing to my Origins treatment, but for a rather lovely £6 less for 5ml more product! I've got to say I didn't know what to expect because I've tried many spot treatments that seemed to do nothing whatsoever, but this has absolutely blown me -and my blemishes- away! DR SPOT describes itself as a 'Super Strength Breakout Clearing Gel' and it really is just that as my festive breakouts have vanished along with 2013. The main ingredients are salicylic acid (just to worn you this is quite strong smelly stuff) and ginger which are not only supposed to tackle spots, but also shrink pores, clog clear, reduce redness, soothe and reduce oiliness. Sounds too good to be true right? Well, in this case I actually don't think it is...after applying this clear gel- the fact it's clear being a massive bonus as it prevents me from looking like Mr Blobby when I go to bed and can also be worn under make up- to several spots as well as an area of ominous red underskin bumps on my forehead every night all imperfections disappeared in just a couple of days. I'm pretty sure I never got such great results from my pricey Origins offering which is a big claim indeed. I like the new clean and clear skincare packaging too as it looks like something serious you can trustingly put on your face, however the gel does seem to spill out from the tube a bit when you take the lid off so it's good a little does go a very long way and it'll still last all year despite the wastage. Overall the effective fast results, amazing price tag, undetectable formula and portable packaging results in this being my favourite blemish battler to date and I highly recommend you pick this up next time you're in Boots. It's also on offer at only £6 right now- form an orderly queue please ladies...

Have you been wowed by DR SPOT?

  6. Ooh this sounds really good. I've often been tempted to purchase the origins version but the price has always put me off ( I'm sick of buying expensive things and them not working for me)
    I'll definitely have to give this a try for a much more purse friendly £6!xx
