Not 100% Sold!

Let me start off by saying that I am a HUGE fan of Lush, and it's very rare that I'm not super impressed with their products. Unfortunately though, I'm not over the moon about the Grease Lightning Spot Treatment.

I was recommended this product by a helpful sales assistant, who suggested it to me alongside the Herbalism cleanser, which is also supposed to be great for acne. It comes in the typical Lush packaging (which is recycled + recyclable, yay!), only in a small pump bottle instead of the regular pot. The product itself is a gel which smells LOVELY - a mix of herbs which has such a nice, natural fragrance. You apply it by dabbing it onto spots, ideally before they fully form, and it dries out the area without feeling too harsh on the skin.

I have two key problems with this product, however. Firstly, I find the pump slightly frustrating to operate - sometimes no product comes out, sometimes too much product comes out. Secondly, this didn't do a whole lot for clearing up my skin. I applied it 2-5 times per day, but still got plenty of acne, and found it didn't help to clear anything up faster than usual. I will use the bottle until it's finished, because it DOES feel soothing on sore skin, and DOES help to dry out the area a wee bit. But overall I wouldn't especially recommend it.

Grease-Not So Great!

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.

It's a pass from me

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.
