  • Hello,
    My dad had a breakout of ache a couple of years ago. He went to America a coupleo f weeks later and bought a cream in a chemists there. The cream is by Neutrogena and is called 'On the Spot'.
    It completely healed his face. However, he was unable to locate it over here.
    Dont know if its any help but, perhaps Neutrogena does supply it over here just not to a large amount of places!

    Have you got any of the Boots £5 off skincare vouchers? (1 x voucher for every £5 spent - offer ends in about a week I think) They are valid for the Botanics Pore Perfecting range. The wipes are on a 2 for £6 offer at the mo so you only pay £1. Keep em in the fridge and they feel wonderful when you use them in this hot weather.

    If you can afford to it's worth having a proper facial, which will remove all the underlying gunk.
    then follow up by using a non greasy, non residue face wash and cider vinegar as a toner on the affected areas..it really works and it's very very cheap!
    also avoid over moisturising any areas where pores get blocked as this will only worsen it.

    try your local college, they have beauty schools where you get very cheap treatments. I had a full facial and pregnancy massage for a tenner each..not at all bad!
    i can't recommend cider vinegar enough..holland and barrets or your local chemist will have it, and it's about £1 per litre
