A Must!

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.

Holy Grail Spot Treatment Ever

This has to be my HG (Holy Grail) of spot treatments in the world. Okay so that maybe a bit of an exaggeration as I haven't tried every spot treatment in the world, but I have tried this one and it is amazing.

Back in the day when I used to get really bad skin and my skin was breaking out with lots of angry red pimples, I would apply this baby and wow, the results were amazing, but I'm getting a wee bit ahead of myself, lets start from the beginning he he he.

Bottle - great bottle with a little button that you press which gives you a nice squeeze of the product. See Tip for a little advice on using this.

The smell - it smells like Tea Tree to me and I can't really smell anything else. Its not overpowering, so if you're not a huge fan of Tea Tree, you may not want to dismiss this right away.

Texture - this is not like your usual spot treatment that comes in a lotion, this comes in a gel and I don't find it greasy at all, its also very soothing. Perhaps you could put in your fridge too especially for the summer months like you do with Aloe Vera.

The results - Amazing, as I said before, this product really does do what it says it does, it reduces your blemishes by half and they look less angry. This really is one of those products that you will find hard to replace.

Price - well worth it because it literally will last you months, but be sure to note the expiry date. Now I'm not saying you should do this but even on the bottle it states Best used fresh, I use it well after that date and it still delivers as if it would a brand new bottle.

Tips: Be careful though as one pump usually gives out quite a bit more than you really need. So just pump it only half way down for less product or fully down for a big amount.

Also note that it can leave a bit of a film like flaky skin, you know after you're sunburnt and it peels off, but just cleanse as normal and it goes. You can also just rub it off and you can still apply your usual products or makeup etc.

You are Supreme! The Chicks all scream!

I recieved a sample of this from Lush many moon ago and it's still going strong to day! That could be because I don't use it all that often but when I do - watch out!

I'm not sure how it comes usually, but for me it came in a plastic tub, which I've since repotted. It's a pale gold color and reminds me of jelly. I haven't noticed any smell with mine, but I could just be used to the tea tree smell.

To apply, I use a cotton bud and dip it into the jelly. It's slightly more hygienic than using my finger, and that way I don't have to touch the pimple either. I swab the gel onto the pimples and leave it to dry - I usually do it just before bed so I don't end up touching it! I don't know if I would repurchase, I'd probably just buy straight tea tree, but it's really nice and while I have it I'll enjoy it.

Love This Product

I absolutely love the lush grease lightning spot treatment , it's not harsh on my skin which is a huge bonus considering in the past my skin can get really dry when i use spot treatments. It's also natural ingredients so your not using any harsh drying chemicals . I would recommend this to anyone who has acne or the odd blemish . It may be a little pricey but a little goes along way .

Tips: Instead of just using a little bit on each zit apply a thin layer to your hole face before you put on moisturiser or make up.

I really liked it!

I used this product for years when I was getting a lot of breakouts. Although this product doesn't always work upon first application, it helped to dry up my pimples and heal them nicely when it was applied a few more times.

I normally use a little pump not too much larger than the blemish itself and let it dry on there. Application at night is better for me, as it does leave a thin dried layer of jelly, so I would wash it off in the morning. Take note to apply on clean, washed and dried skin, as the oils that lie already on the skin make the product hard to treat the blemish and work as intended.

The bottle lasts quite a while, months to years, depending on how often its used and how excessively. A bonus is that it smells nice and is not unpleasant or overpowering!

You have to time it right

I thought this product might be to good to be true but to my surprise it works!!! However you have to time it right I find. Once a pimple has popped up and has a head, there is no point using this product. I find however if I can feel a pimple under the skin, those ones that are super sore but haven't come through just yet. Those ones I can usually get rid of with this product! I just layer it on the pimple before bed and leave it. As much as I want to put it all over my face when its one of those bad skin weeks, I can't. It certainly dries out your skin so you wouldn't want to be doing that. I also don't go out wearing it as it dries and then flakes off. I'm unsure if I will get this product again as i'm terrible at catching the pimple in time but for anyone who is looking for products to try I would recommend this as it may work differently for others.

Not Exactly Spot Zapping but Fairly Effective

I wanted to try this after reading a few positive reviews. I did my research and found this didn't have any alcohol in it. Plus at around $17 for 45ml it was the most budget friendly option for a natural pimple treatment that I knew about. So I bought it and while it's not my favorite treatment it is one of the ones I really like. It does help clear spots a bit. It doesn't sting when it goes on and it dries much quicker than some other pimple treatment gels not to mention the natural ingredients and price for the amount. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap, natural pimple treatment. While there isn't an overnight improvement it does help breakouts go away faster. I plan to repurchase this when the bottle is finished.

Tips: Apply this straight after cleansing your face to the spot and let it dry before apply other products. I often just spread it over the areas with pimples, as it hasn't dried out my skin. I would recommend requesting a sample first to see how your skin reacts especially if you have sensitive skin.

Not quite right for my skin type

This product felt really nice and did dull the redness of my pimples, it didn't heal them completely and it didn't stop more appearing. There are lots of products from Lush that work better for my skin type, which is oily and acne prone.

Not as good as it sounds

This was kind of disappointing to be completely honest as I expected it to have fast, visible results (especially since Lush products are usually amazing!). The presence of natural ingredients is a great bonus however, in truth, there's not much point if the product itself doesn't work very well. It has a kind of jelly/gel consistency and I applied it to any red angry pimples I had. They may have faded a teensy bit faster than usual? But I wouldn't really justify purchasing this again.

Okay - but not for me

To begin I should tell you my skin type: I am oily - dehydrated, slightly enlarged pores through cheeks, nose and forehead. I have some redness and old acne scarring (though not too bad). My skin's texture is very rough and dull.

I purchased this on a whim last year because I was having issues with a few pesky pimples and wanted to try something new. This product is okay, I like the packaging, the fact that it has a pump is a huge bonus and gets a big thumbs up from me, it's sturdy which makes it great for travel and the bottle is recyclable! Woo! But onto the actual product.... It's a gel but on the more liquid-y end of the spectrum and a little goes a long way. It has a very fresh scent which is pleasant and disappears after a few minutes. How I would use this is by pumping one pump onto a finger and then dab a small amount of the product onto irritated pimples. The gel dries down to a shiny-ish finish and feels kind of tight but not uncomfortable. My gripe with this product is that it's not potent enough for me, I prefer to use tea tree oil to spot treat as it gets the job done fast, whereas with this it really needs to be applied at night as it creates a film that eventually peels away. It's definitely not a bad product though! I would highly recommend this to people with more sensitive and dry skin types as it's gentle and has a nice soothing/cooling effect.
