Review- Good Things Stop That Spot! Clearing Gel

Good afternoon! 

Firstly, Happy Mothers Day everyone! Hope you all have a nice, relaxing Sunday :)

As some of you may know, I have quite bad skin. It's not as bad as it was a few years ago, and it's not really much of a big deal to me now, but I do tend to always have a few spots on the go, and have lots of scarring from previous spots. 

Because of this, I am always searching for an amazing spot cream. I want one that will get rid of spots, stop spots from appearing, and help fade my scarring...not too much to ask, is it?

I picked up this gel from Boots, just over a month ago, for about a fiver. I'd heard good things about Good Things as a brand, and thought £5 was quite reasonable. 

What I noticed first about this gel, was the smell. Although not an unpleasant smell, (it's just fruity really), it is so, so strong, and quite alcohol-y. I have looked into the ingredients, and it does include alcohol denat.,so maybe that is the reason?

Anyway, it's a strong, fruity scent. I dont tend to like putting strong smelling products on my face, but I perservered with this for the purposes of review! 

In terms of spot clearing, I haven't noticed any major improvements. (It should be noted though, that I've tried numerous spot creams, and none of them have really worked wonders!)

I've used this nearly every night, and most mornings before putting on my makeup. Under makeup, this product works well. It doesn't ball up or peel, or affect the makeup that goes on after it.

It sinks in quickly, leaves skin smooth and the smell doesn't last long. 

Most spot creams dry out my skin, as I tend to be on the dry side anyway, but this one doesn't. 

After about a month of use, the spot clearing gel is running out. There's still a little bit  left, but it's definitely on it's last legs! I've found I now come to look forward to the smell, and the fact that it doesn't dry my skin out.

 

Pros:
Smells quite nice once you're used to it.
Doesn't dry out skin
Works well under makeup

Veggie/vegan

Free from Parabens, animal ingredients and other nasty things

Cons:
Runs out quite quickly
Didn't make much of a difference to my skin
Seems quite pricey at £5 for 15ml. Maybe that's just me being a cheapskate!

Such a strong scent for those who don't like scented products!

So, all in all, I liked this spot cream, but I probably wouldn't buy it again, just because it didn't make much difference to my spots. It is one of the only spot creams I've found that doesn't ball up under foundation though, so I've got to give it some credit for that! Judging by the size, and by how quickly I've gotten through this, I would say this is more suited to someone who only gets an odd spot, and doesn't want to plaster it on their face like I do!

Would I recommend this product? Yes. To people who don't mind strongly scented products, and who only get occassional spots.

Would I repurchase? Probably not, unless it was a really good deal/price, or I needed a spot cream just for under my foundation, not at night. 

Anyone else tried this? Get on with it better than me?

The Good Things Stop That Spot Clearing Gel is £4.99 from Boots.
