    Do be careful using some of these products so close to your eye's , even just the fumes can really sting your eye's (thinking particularly of the Teatree oil) I once got spot lotion in my eye accidentally when I was a teen & couldn't see out that eye for 2 day's, was a bit scary. I have tried lot's of things over the years & found Vichy Normaderm concentrate anti-imperfection amazing- spot's miraculously dissapear in a day or2 it's expensive but the wee tube last's such a long time & it work's so well it's def worth the price, it doesn't dry your skin out either.
    Booo!!!

    The only thing I've ever found to dry up a spot quickly is Mario Badescu Drying Lotion:

    It really shrinks them overnight, even if they're all nasty and infected (which I sadly get fairly frequently) so I highly recommend it :)
    Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    You might also want to try Soap & Glory's Dr Spot product. Works quickly to reduce spot size. Costs around £10 (though often on offer in Boots) and bottle lasts for ages :)

    Being an acne sufferer (now mostly under control from the pill) the only thing that ever had a quick and long lasting effect was Sudocrem. It was like a little tub of miracle, never thought to try it and then someone suggested it, worked amazingly!
