The Origins Super Spot Remover is a treatment for blemishes and the active ingredient is 1.50% salicylic acid, which is all well and good because my skin usually responds well to that. However, Origins went ahead and included a bunch of unnecessary fragrant plant oils. This does nothing for inflammation and redness, but rather exacerbates it, in my opinion. Why do most natural brands feel as though their skincare has to smell good? Fragrance has almost nothing to offer in the way of benefits for your skin. UGH! Ok... rant aside, the Super Spot Remover did dry out my blemish, but it also left the surrounding area very red and sore. I think for $14.50 I will be returning this one to Sephora ASAP.
Well what I need right now is a spot treatment that takes these gosh darn cystic pimples away! Does Sephora have one of those?
ReplyDeleteEradiKate by Kate Somerville is a great option if you're looking to go the Sephora route. However, I've found that the best spot treatments come from the drugstore. Neutrogena's On-the-spot or Clean&Clear's Persa-gel are both awesome. Also, for a home remedy, try crushing up an uncoated aspirin and mixing it with water then putting the paste on the spot. Works wonders! Hope this helps:)
