It’s not all bad news though ladies – when we’re faced with such issues we have to find it within ourselves to make the most of what we do have. There’s nothing like a bit of positive thinking to help us on the way, eh? And that’s where Clinique come in...
My was about Clinique’s Anti-Blemish Solution 3 step skincare routine and their spot treatment gel. Nearly 2 years later (phew!) and that lovely gel is still a firm favourite in my routine. In the time since I last raved about this beauty, Clinique have been working their magic to re-brand it to the Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel. This has always been my spot treatment saviour and recognising their success, Clinique have put heaps of effort in to improving it and boy is it brilliant.
It has a 4-in-1 Clearing Complex that works to treat current breakouts and prevent future ones. It contains the following ingredients that work together to exfoliate, control oil, un-clog pores and reduce redness: Salicylic Acid (anti-blemish, pores & exfoliation), Laminaria Saccharina (oil-control) and Sea Whip Extract (calming, redness reduction).
That’s all super lovely, but the most impressive part of this re-launch is the fact that the gel can now be used all over the face, as an all over treatment. Yep that’s right, it’s no longer just a direct spot treatment (although of course it can be used as that too). And after clinical trials it’s been confirmed that this product delivers effectiveness as good as a topical prescription...so for most of us it will mean that trips to the GP might not be as necessary anymore.
Of late my breakouts have been less, but as soon as I have one I apply a thin layer to my entire face, followed with my daily moisturiser or SPF and within a few hours any redness has been reduced, pain numbed and my pores are so teeny tiny – I can’t explain the joy this brings me! It leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and smooth, which is quite the task with stubborn skin like mine.
I’ve tried pretty much every spot treatment on the market but none compare to this, it’s the only spot product that can withstand the test of time on my skin, no matter how many times I reach for it, my skin never seems to become immune. Along with being a holy grail product in my beauty regime, it's also given my confidence a real boost. There's nothing more refreshing than waking up in the morning knowing you have a weapon that will work wonders against your skin – and being able to use it now as an all over treatment makes it even more wonderful than it already was.
