Freederm Spot Gel

Having previously used Freederm products for my blemish prone skin, I thought this spot gel would be a great new one for me to try out. It was recently on offer on the Boots website, with some money off, but I can't fully remember what I paid for it, albeit not a lot. I've been using this ever since I purchased it and I'm now getting to the end of the tube, so I've basically used it up. Therefore I can give you guys a good review on it, taking into consideration this product may work better or not so good on different skin types.

So like I said I've been using this for quite a while now and have been applying it nearly every evening on my pesky spots. This is the last product that I apply on my skin each evening and then let it hopefully work it's magic on my spots. Recently *touches wood* my skin hasn't actually been so bad but that doesn't mean I haven't had spots, just not as bad as it usually is. This product is actually pretty small but a little goes a long way, and you barely need any product to cover those spots.

This product doesn't make your spots sting or anything like that, which some spot products can do. That's something I do like about this product although sometimes that 'sting', to me, is like "yes this product is working" ha ha. In the morning, when I wake, there's no residue left on my face so this product sinks in well through the night. Now as I said I haven't had a big spot for quite some time so my review is based on smaller spots and under the skin spots. Unfortunately on more occasions than not, I haven't noticed a huge difference in my skin in the morning. There may have been reduced redness on my skin but to be honest the spots looked pretty much the same. Considering I've tried other Freederm products, which I have loved, this product was a slight disappointment even though it showed potential. It may work better on larger spots but I haven't had any to test it out on so I can't comment on that.

Overall I don't think I will be repurchasing this product in the future, even though I do love other Freederm products which I would recommend, just not this one. It may work differently for you guys out there with different skin types, but it just didn't do it for my blemish prone skin.

Elemis Skin Clear Treatment Gel

This is my first ever Elemis product would you believe! I was shopping in TK Maxx a while back and came across this and couldn't help myself. I've always wanted to try something from Elemis and the fact that it was a spot treatment was even better. I've heard great things about the brand in the past so was super excited to get started on trying this product.

Now lets get the negative out of the way first.. I'm normally ok with a scent but the smell of this product is so overpowering it's really not that nice. As soon as I've put a little bit on my finger ready to apply onto my face I can instantly smell it. I can't really describe the smell, just like a spot treatment smell if you know what I mean, which I wouldn't normally mind. It's just this one is so strong that it really isn't actually nice to put onto your face simple because it's closer to your nose so makes it smell even more!

But aside from the smell I have been liking this product as an actual treatment for my spots. This product does the classic stinging when applied onto some spots but nothing too painful that you can't handle. I tend to apply this just in the evenings after I've finished all my skin care routine and just put this on all of my spots before I go to bed. The tube this product is in makes it super easy to use and control how much product your squeezing out. I do find that this product does help reduce the redness and size of my spots over a few days. It's not a miracle product by no means but it does help speed up the time of getting rid of spots.

Overall the actual product in how it helps your spots is really great, not the best I've used in the past but it certainly does make some difference and helps. But the smell kind of kills it for me due to how strong it does smell. I know everyone is different so some people may find it not so strong so definitely give it a sniff before you pick it up if you're wanting to try this product. You can buy it here from Feel Unique for £13.
