Origins Super Spot Remover - Review

Today's post is something of a review, something of a rave, and something of a sob. Starting with the sob, I've recently found out that my holy grail acne-control product, Panoxyl Benzoyl Peroxide aquagel/cream has been discontinued! Luckily I stocked up just before, and have two tubes which should last me a few more months before it hits crisis level! But for when I run out, I've been looking for a replacement product which can dry out my skin a bit.

The Origins Super Spot Remover is a blemish treatment gel which targets individual blemishes and dries them out, consequently speeding up the disappearing process.


For starters, the bottle is absolutely adorable! It's tiny and though it costs £13 a bottle, I get the feeling it will last me a while. The consistency is a thin gel, which is see through - meaning you can put it on and still go out after!

Most importantly; how it works. I have tried so many countless blemish treatments and nothing has worked on my skin - I have pretty terrible acne all over my face, and it's such a point of low confidence that I really do want to find something to sort it out - hence why I began wearing makeup. I apply this to my many (and I mean many :( )spots and I have honestly noticed a huge difference within only two weeks of use!

I apply this directly to any existing spots, as well as spots that I can feel coming up, and it is incredibly effective - the spot instantly begins going down, as well as decreasing in redness and soreness (if it's one of those buggers!). It also means that the spot doesn't leave any trace or scar, which is part of the problem I usually have.

My mum (who's a pharmacist, ooh get her) is always cynical of the products I buy, and is usually right - and she was equally so with this, until she looked at the ingredients. Because this contains salicylic acid, which is known to dry blemishes effectively, as well as some other ingredients, she was actually in favour of it! Now that she's seen the difference it's made on my skin, we went and bought another one to give to my sister at uni!

I will continue using this until it's cleared up my whole skin - and keep using it after, on any occasional spots I may get.
To anyone struggling with acne - I would truly recommend this like no other product - especially if you're struggling from the lack of Panoxyl too! It will provide an instant solution, and you'll never look back.

Hope this helps!

  3. Ugh discontinuing is the worst! I might buy this, I've been looking for something that will clear up zits for a while now and although it's kind of pricey, I think it's definitely worth it when it comes to skincare!
