Neutrogena Spot Clearing Face Wash and Oil Free Moisturiser





I decided to buy a different face wash and moisturiser as my skin was breaking out which always happens at this time of year for me. I opted for the Neutrogena Visibly Clear Spot Clearing Facial Wash because it contained 2% Salicylic acid which I know helps with spots as it unclogs pores.
I then also got the Oil Free Moisturiser which states that it hydrates, smooths and evens out skin tone.

Starting with the face wash this was on offer but it is currently around £4.49 from Asda and at Superdrug. It does say on the front that this is developed with dermatologists. This is also oil free and is 'a concentrated, yet gentle daily cleanser. It suggests to use this twice daily in the morning and at night.

The moisturiser at £4.50 is also dermatologist tested and also to be applied morning and night on freshly cleansed skin. I have been using this after the facial wash.

Since using both these products it has helped improve my skin. I have far less breakouts and my face feels super clean after using the wash. The moisturiser  is in a small tube but it is lasting me well! My skin feels incredibly soft after using it and it's nice and lightweight and does even the skin a little. These are super cheap too and I am definitely going to stick to these for a bit,

Seventeen On the Spot Concealer





This Seventeen On the Spot concealer which is £4.99 at Boots is a 'creamy concealer which covers and helps to treat, for healthier looking skin.'

This contains Salicylic acid to help fight blemishes and this concealer apparently gives you clearer skin in 4 weeks!  Sounds pretty good, anything to help clear skin gets my attention!

What do I have to say though is that this was a waste of my money. 


This can only be bought in the one shade which is medium...I dont understand why Seventeen would create one shade?? Weird...

I decided to buy this anyway because I read some reviews that it was easy to blend in even with pale skin but that was not the case for me. It just makes a nice orange patch on my face lol.  I havent used this more than twice because the shade is just completely wrong so I cant tell you if the clearer skin in 4 weeks is true.  

As this contains Salicylic acid it may also not be suitable for people who are diabetic or have poor circulation.

Overall this was my first Seventeen product I tried and I am a bit reluctant to try any more after this.  I have however just bought some Soap and Glory Concealer to try!
