Whenever I get a breakout I always go back to these products which really help banish those unsightly minions from my face. For me I don't breakout too often and usually get one or two at a time. However sometimes whether it be the time of the month or too much food indulgence, my skin can be a bit temperamental!
The key products I use is Garnier Pure Active Purifying Toner, Simple spotless skin quick fix cleansing wipes and Soap&Glory Dr Spot.
Garnier Pure Active Purifying Toner
Application
I use this after I have cleansed my skin day and night. I also use it to freshen up my skin when I have no makeup on. I apply it using a cotton pad that you can pick up cheaply, if not then a cotton ball or soft toilet paper folded will do. I make sure I concentrate it in the areas more affected and be careful around the eyes.
Good points
- It works! I picked this up in the summer 10 and I always buy when I need it.
- I like the fact that its a stronger toner and really smells and feels like it works on my skin.
- It helps to reduce the scarring left from existing blemishes and news ones.
- Deep cleans and mattifies my skin (great for oily skin).
Bad points
- Could be a bit too harsh for extra sensitive skin or very dry skin.
Good for: oily skin, blocked pored, black heads, combination skin, breakouts/problem skin, budget buyers.
Cost around £5
Where? boots/superdrug
Simple spotless skin quick fix cleansing wipes
Application
I use these to remove my makeup at the end of the day. One wipe will remove my face makeup and another one for my eye makeup if heavy.
Good points
- They are soft to use and not at all scratchy which you can get with wipes at times.
- They remove my makeup at ease in preparation to clean my skin with my cleanser.
- Cheap, they cost me just over £3 which I think is a steal!
- No need for an applicator, just use the wipe and then bin it.
- Natural anti-backterial and spot fighting ingredients - ideal for sensitive skin.
Bad Points
- None!
Good for: oily skin, blocked pored, black heads, combination skin, breakouts/problem skin, sensitive/dry skin, easy makeup remover, budget buyers.
Cost £3.05
Where? boots/superdrug
Soap&Glory Dr Spot
Application
I apply this as the last stage at night on my skin. I take a small pea size amount and rub it between two clean finger tips and dab it on the spots I have. I also get a small amount and rub it all around my face as a thin layer over night if my skin is in need of special aid.
Good Points
- Reduces the size of my spots overnight.
- Contains the popular salicylic acid ingredient which helps fight against and heal spots.
- It does not sting like other salicylic acid products.
- Contains other great ingredients like vitamin A and C and witch hazel.
- I do not get dry skin with this, ever (The trick is to not use too much).
Bad Points
- Some skins can react to salicylic acid but its more uncommon.
- You can get dry spots but this is the healing process of drying the spot out. For better makeup application just make sure you moisturize and exfoliate.
- If you have very dry skin already, this product might not be for you or use a very small amount for spots only.
Good For: oily skin, blocked pored, black heads, combination skin, breakouts/problem skin.
Cost £7.15

I think this combination of products really work for me and could work for you if you suffer the same thing. In total they cost me just over £15 which I think is a great buy for products that work. Of course I had to go through many products until I found what worked for me but I don't think I will change this routine anytime soon...when those minions start appearing again :)
More info on the products are available at boots.com. Just type the name in boots search bar.
Do you have any of these products? What did you think?
