Reviews Summary
Customers say this spot treatment works quickly on blemishes, often showing results overnight. Many reviews mention reduced redness and faster healing times. The green-tinted formula receives mixed feedback for its coverage. While most find it gentle and effective, some note a strong smell that lingers. Reviews are mixed on speed of results - some see immediate improvement, others report slower progress. Common feedback includes easy application and good value, though tube size prompts some discussion.

    Overnight Fix

    These work well for early-stage spots—flatten them overnight and stop me picking. Super discreet and stay on all night. I have also worn under make up in the day and you really can’t see them

    Hits the spot!

    Spots adieu!!! This is a super charged serum that really makes a difference to your spots. Unless, they are very deep-seated Rosaceae spots, unfortunately... Those I have not been able to treat yet. My husband also doesn't like the smell on my face, but thankfully I don't mind it.
