Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel | Review

Recently I've been getting a lot of spots, I'm kind of a spotty git. Recently I've been getting a lot of spots, mostly round my mouth - really really painful ones. They hurt like a mother! 
I bought this about a month ago, when my spottiness was at its absolute worst. After using this twice daily for about a month my skin is in much better condition. I was told you could use this as an on the spot treatment or all over the face. Because I've been so spotty I've been leaning towards the latter. My skin is stupidly oil, and really fairly spotty. 
The Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel ( what a mouthful) is allergy tested and fragrance free, so in theory if your skin is sensitive then you should be fine with this. It comes in two sizes, 15ml £14 and 30ml thats £20. Personally I think you're better off paying a bit more for the bigger size as it works out cheaper in the long run...
When you apply it, it can sometimes feel a wee bit stingy, but it goes away so quickly. I sometimes find as well that it makes my eyes a wee bit watery... When you apply it, your skin feels really silky, silky but a little tight (if you apply it all over). The gel dries in sooo quickly, so theres barely any waiting around. 
Its not going to magic away any spots - but really what product would? I really love this though, it helps to reduce the redness around the spot and helps to move the spot along - meaning its sore for less amount of time. 
If you're looking for a spot gel and are willing to invest in one, then I'd highly recommend you try this one. Two thumbs up from me!

Nip+Fab Oily Skin Fix Review

I've been looking for something to help my skin, as it is extremely oily, and for awhile I thought I was never going to find something that was affordable. Finally I found something that does the job, Nip+Fab are now my new best friends.

The Oily Skin Fix set is heavenly, if my skin wasn't quite so oily I'm pretty sure this would have been the single best thing to ever happen to me.
The kit contains 3 things; a facial cleansing wash, a moisturiser and a spot gel.
Clean Fix Gel is described as "a deep cleansing and purifying foaming formula for super clean skin." This makes my skin feel really clean, I've used lots of facial washes before and most make my skin feel very tight or don't give a good enough clean - so my skin ends up pretty drap and quite a wee bit unhealthy (by unhealthy I mean oily, blackheads and spots). Since using this my skin hasn't been nearly as spotty and my skin goes longer without becoming oiler than a frying pan.

To help with this the Shine Fix helps keep my oily skin at bay. I even apply this later in the day over my make-up if my face is getting overly oily. Nip+Fab say this =has "microsponges" in it that "target and prevent shine". This is also meant to be a black head buster, but I can't say I've noticed my blackheads disappearing. For an affordable moisturiser it works wonders, and I was overly impressed with it. Since I hadn't yet found an affordable/ drug store this was a little god send. I would say that since it is a tiny tube I will still be on the hunt for something bigger, maybe even on the pricier side, but in the mean time I will definitely re-purchase Shine Fix.

The final part of the kit is the Spot Fix, I haven't yet tried this out since I'm in love with my Freede

rm spot gel. But if the rest of the kit is anything to go by then this spot gel will be amazing. It contains salicylic acid which is brilliant for tackling spots. And I think I will be switching from Freederm to this as, Freederm, as far as I am aware, does not contain salicylic acid. 

  Nip+Fab were certainly right when they say this is a 'cult classic' I will certainly be picking another one of these sets up, at £15.95 full price or £7.50 from ASOS. I highly recommend this set to anyone that has oily skin.
