spot the spot, or not

Recently, my skin has gone to absolute hell. Under the skin spots are my enemy, and blackheads are the villain in my facial fairytale. Basically, it sucks.
I was totally stuck on what to do since I already drink lots of water, avoid bad foods and cleanse/tone/moisturise every day. WHAT MORE DOES MY FACE WANT?!
But then I was recommended Lush's Grease Lightening Spot Treatment, it was only £5.65 a bottle, and honestly, my skin couldn't get any worse, so I figured it was worth a shot.

IT'S SO GOOD.
After a good ol'cleanse and tone, put a little blob of this clear gel on your spots, go to bed and in the morning they're visibly reduced, not only in redness, but size. Huzzah!
It's made of lots of nice natural stuff as well, like tea tree, thyme, rosemary and lavender oil (full list of ingredients is on the web page, the link is attached to the picture), which is lovely. I always prefer using more natural products on my face, it's such a delicate thing that piling it with artificial chemicals just does not makes sense to me.
The only 2 slight minus points for this product is 1) because of the pump, controlling how much gel you get is basically impossible so you can end up wasting some 2) if you don't rub it in and just leave it to soak in, it creates a little film across the spot. This is fine at night, but during the day it can look a little odd.

But despite these 2 things, this spot treatment is probably the best that I've tried, I just wish I'd found it earlier in my teenage years.
