I was given a large sample of Grease Lightning Spot Treatment as I was having some trouble with hormonal break outs. It's a very thick, yellow jelly type substance which smells really nice. You can definitely smell the tea tree in it which I really like but it may be a bit strong for some. It feels quite sticky to apply to the skin and it almost leaves a slight film. Because of this, I started only using it at night. Now, initially it cleared up spots really well but after about a week of every night use, it seemed to stop working. Whether it was because my skin started getting used to it I don't know. The jelly also became darker in colour which I didn't like as it seemed to me like it was 'going off' despite the expiry date being a year away. I wouldn't purchase this again purely as it stopped working and because of how sticky it was.

Reviews
I actually did a lot of research on this product before purchasing it. As much as I do LOVE lush, I think that a lot of their skin care products are over hyped and don't actually work. Everyone suggested that you don't purchase it as it doesn't work but I thought I would try it any way.
It comes in a small signature lush bottle, with a pump and a cap on top. This is perfect for squeezing the product out and applying it where needed, however, the pump unfortunately always, without fail, pushes out way too much product, and I'm left wasting it.
The product itself is a super thick pale yellow, gel consistency that has a couple of spots of something inside, there aren't too many off them, and I can tell they are part of the product, but i've yet to figure out what they actually are.
I find the product much too thick, and this is probably one of the reasons that so much comes out of the pump. The tiniest amount is easily spread across a large surface, and thus this will last you a long time. However I find that, unlike other spot treatments I've used that dry and absorb into the skin, this one sits on top of the skin, refusing to sink in for 30 minutes. I find it sticky, and hard to work with, and if you have a big blemish, you have to be very careful and not touch anything until it has fully dried which takes ages.
The most upsetting thing about the whole product, is that it doesn't work. It has no effect whatsoever on the redness of my pimples, on reducing the size, or on helping soothe the soreness.My spots are still the same regardless of whether or not this has been used.
Now I can not really remember how I came across buying this product but I am sure glad I did!
This is a must for both me and my partner! As soon as I notice a break out I pop some of this on. And its usually 80% gone over night.
The scent is very nice and almost abit soothing in a stress relieving way. And the consistency is like a slightly yellow gel, which makes it really easy to apply.
The price might put people off because of the size. But a tiny bit goes along way both price wise and when it comes to how well the product works.You only need the tiniest amount on the affected area and it will work wonders. If you notice a film on you skin you have put on too much and because this product is so potent it will irritate you skin.
