When you get a spot what product do you reach for?!

[Waiting4baby2]

Just that really!
I don’t get spots often but when I do they are of the huge and sore variety and nothing i ever use seems to help!
Would love to know any tips for products you lot rate!
thanks x

Maybe you can guess from my user name 😉

sudacream

Magnesium sulphate with a plaster over it should bring the under-the-skin swellings to a head.

Normal pimples get Sudocremmed.

Toothpaste or tea tree oil.

Yup, best there is.

Toothpaste

Spot patches

Spot dots are surprisingly brilliant

I know the rules are don't squeeze.

But.

I get big painful spots on my chin when I ovulate.

I've done some experiments during months I've had more than one.

The ones I pierce/pop and get the gunk out of (which generally is a hard plug that needs shifted then whatever had built up behind it. Have always healed quicker than the ones I follow the rules for.

Be careful with tcp - it can give you a burn! (I was a div and did this by holding a cotton wool pad of it undiluted for too long!)

I usually use Witch Stick S.O.S Blemish

I know a supermodel who swears by rubbing a cut clove of garlic over a spot before going to bed.

Dove nappy cream

Witch Stick, Boots equivalent witch hazel dual ended pen thing, TCP or toothpaste in an emergency.

Origins Super Spot Remover is great.

I’d look after my liver. When I do, no spots, ever!

Pierce with sterilised needle, squeeze and tcp applied with a cotton bud. During the day a dot of hand sanitizer helps dry it up and stops it getting infected.

A styptic pencil to stop it weeping.

I use clearasil spot treatment & whilst it’s not instant results it defo does the trick, put it on before I go to bed so it can work overnight👍🏻

Me and the teen swear by this

This one!! Think someone referenced it earlier. Nine times out of ten if I apply it early enough the spot goes down again as if by magic... www.boots.com/boots-tea-tree-and-witch-hazel-spot-wand-2x-3-5ml-10125611?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc--PLAs--Toiletries-_-UK_Smart_Shopping_Toiletries_Google&gclid=CjwKCAjwqauVBhBGEiwAXOepkbRmHqGZr9aEdwsBak35SQonoSLDat_pAxFlT8PnKagwtWVPpIPz8BoCq9AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

CosRX Acne Pimple Patch. Best things ever.

@ShirleyJackson I did the magnesium sulphate thing on huge blind spot on my chin once. Turns out I'm allergic to the magnesium sulphate and the plaster! I'd have been better off leaving it as in comparison to the mess I made of my face the spot was fairly innocuous 😂

Sudo crème...

Dettol wipes

Manuka oil.

If things are super drastic an overnight spot of clay mask.

This is brilliant:
