Origin's Super Spot Remover Review

From bothersome blemishes to full apocalyptic break outs, I've had my fair share of spotty skin! It's a phase all teenagers have to put up with (think of it as an initiation test). But whether it's part and parcel of adolescence, it's still a pain in the royal derriere. I heard about Origin Products through various Youtube videos. I'd always seen their products displayed in my local Debenhams but I'd always thought their products too pricey and for a brand I had heard little about, I wasn't willing to invest a great sum for something I wasn't sure would work with my skin. However, a few months back, I heard a few beauty bloggers raving about how excellent Origin's Super Spot Remover was and I could not resist giving it a try myself. 

For £13.00, the product is not cheap, but I'd be willing to pay a lot more for this product for what it does. Not the product itself is actually extremely small, measuring around 4 1/2 cm and containing 10ml of gel. But as I found after  two weeks of using it, a little goes a long way. I've been using the product for around 4 weeks and still have over half of it left, which for someone who tends to use products very quickly, is really good. On the day the product arrived I got straight to using it on a few pesky blemishes that seemed to be stubborn as hell! You squeeze the tiniest bit of the gel onto your finger and dab it gently on the blemish.   

The gel's Salicylic Acid contents get to work at drying out the spot while it's Caffeine and Red Algae ingredients calm and soothe skin redness. Because the product is quite drying, you should only apply it to the spot itself rather then a larger skin surface. I made the mistake of applying a greater amount upon one spot the other night and it stings REAL bad. This shouldn't be a problem though if you aren't an idiot like moi and apply the product how it should be applied. 

After 4 weeks of using this product I can honestly say it works miracles on the occasional stubborn blemish and is really quick as well as being fuss free. I apply it usually before bed (sometimes in the mornings but it often works better over night) and the spot is a lot less red in the morning! It's one of those life saving products that can really fix that problem of waking up before a big event and finding you have a second head! 

I actually really loved this product and overall found it really works! I will defiantly be re-purchasing and it's also hope to try out some other Origin products in the future!

Have you tried this product? What did you think? What Origin product should I try next?

Much love,

It's really that Simple!

As an advocate of a healthy and great skin regime, Simple has always been a trustworthy brand of mine and can often be found on my dressing table. I've been using Simple products for a good two years now and can honestly say I haven't found a product that matches up to it. My skin is very sensitive and when I use harsh face products I usually end up with dry skin or even breakouts! So Simple's Kind to Skin range is really a life saver. 

With no harsh chemicals, perfumes or colours, the range is really gentle for most skin types especially ultra sensitive skin and oily. Their Hydrating light moisturiser is really good for skin prone to breakouts as it isn't as heavy as most moisturisers and does not linger on the skin surface which can cause breakouts and clog pores. It contains Glycerin which hydrates and nourishes, keeping the skin moisturised for 12 hours. It also has the added bonus of Borage seed oil which renews and regenerates, giving you an overall brighter and more nourished complexion. I have been using the same moisturiser for a few years now and can honestly say it's one of the best I've used. I find I suffer from a lot less breakouts and my skin just feels so much fresher and healthier with Simple products! There really isn't any fuss with this brand. 

Simple's toner is also exceptionally good even though I have been using it for a shorter time then their moisturisers. I have been using the Pore Minimising toner cleanser for a few weeks now and honestly believe it has helped my pores. As well as battling those dreaded skin issues it's also really gentle on your skin, which can not be said for our cleansers/toners I have used in the past. It includes a multitude of vitamins including pro-vitaimin B5 and vitamin E actively soften, smooth, restore and moisturise skin. The cleanser also contains witch hazel, chamomile and geranium which are all natural products and are dermatologically proven to tone and tighten pores as well as soften and condition skin. 

Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser and Pore Minimising 

£3.79/£4.99 from Boots, UK

I feel like my skin's overall condition is just so much better when combining these products. I've had a lot less breakouts overall and my skin just feels a lot more hydrated which means I look a lot less tried! I think Simple's products really are a must have and if you have not used them before you should defiantly try them out for yourself. If you have sensitive skin these could really save you the hassle of using expensive specialist products. I would recommend Simple to anyone. The products aren't too pricey either! Value for money or what!?
