I have quite severe acne scaring on the side of my face and have been looking for ages for something suitable that will last and actually cover the scars. When I was out one day, I thought I would take the plunge and try out the blemish remedy, having read reviews on this product. I did ask the girl on the counter whether it would cover my blemishes and she did say thats not what its meant for (even though the website says it is).

When I can see that I have a spot starting, I put this on at night time so it can do its magic without the everyday face touching and wearing off and also so it can breathe and not be covered with foundation. I have to say that it really does work! Having been prescribed Benzyl Peroxide from the doctors in the past, it is nice to find a product that does a similar job without drying all the skin around it!

I would say that although you only get a small pot of this, you do also get the concealer brush and for £15 I would say it was worth it. You only need a tiny bit so it will last for AGES!

 

Pros:

• got for spot prone skin
• doesnt dry out rest of the skin
• works well overnight

 Cons:

• fairly pricey
• has a slightly menthol smell to it
• doesnt conceal blemishes

 Overall I would give this a 3.5/5 as it does what it says on the tin, works quickly but is quite expensive for a remedy.
