Digging into the holy bucket of Lush products for todays post. Grease Lightning is a strong contender for best spot treatment to work for me. Reducing red unsightly spots down to smaller, flesh-coloured minor bumps in a matter of minutes, this has quickly become part of my daily routine!
So, what's in it? A whole lot of Tea Tree, Aloe Vera, and Witch Hazel. All natural anti-bacterials and soothers. A study was done on facial care and it was found in terms of acne, products containing 5% of tea tree or more worked exactly the same as products with 5% of Benzyl Peroxide (A leading spot buster found in most strong drugstore treatments) So with Grease Lightning, you're taking the need for chemicals right away, leading to a more natural, and better for you, skin routine.
Aloe Vera is also fantastic for soothing for when spots are especially red and puffy! Aloe really helps to reduce redness, and get skin back to it's normal condition, it's for this reason that Grease Lightning has a great second use as an after-sun!
It's a jelly like consistency, and so is really easy to use, and especially easy to dispense, as you can truly get only as much as you need, which is never a lot. The small amount on my hand would do your face twice over, so you really do get a lot of bang for your buck with this one. It comes in a nifty small little pump too, meaning you can easily take it with you and pop one in your bag for during the day if emergency strikes!
I see no reason to not rate this product a 5 out of 5, it does exactly what you'd expect and more! Plus it contains my favourite ingredient, Lavender, which helps to even out skin-tone and combination skin in general (patches of dry/oily skin), which I desperately need!
