i finally finish my biobeautylab acne oil, so i decided to buy something else. actually, i wasn't interested in this acne spot gel, but since i had to fulfill certain quota to get the cashback or the free shipping, i decided to put this in my cart. let's see how it goes.
this is the description on their website: invisible natural plant-based acne treatment. a transparent acne spot gel with a combination of 8 natural-fix acne combat powers to fight acne-causing bacteria, help reduce redness, control excess sebum, and help smooth out rough skin texture caused by acne. can be used by children from 11 years of age and pregnant women.
key ingredients:
- neem tree: it contains more than 130 different biological compounds with antioxidant properties to protect the skin. the vitamins and fatty acids in neem leaves can also improve, maintain skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. it also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to support acne treatment.
- cleome gynandra leaf extract: is a molecule with high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that work to maintain the quality and quantity of sebum/oil on skin. cleome gynandra leaf extract is also able to reduce inflammation that leads to acne formation.
- maclura cochinchinensis: contains bioflavonoids which is proven to treat oily skin that causes acne and blackheads as well as balancing the skin microbiome. it works by inhibiting acne-causing bacteria C.acnes and stopping inflammation.

the packaging: it doesn't have any box, so they only seal the outer part with plastic to secure the product. the spot gel comes in a squeeze tube with a combination of red on the cap and the tip with transparent body so you can see the remaining product inside. they use spout to dispense the product. the gel comes in 15 gr. there's a short description as well as ingredients list printed on the tube, but the font is too small.

the scent: this is scentless.

the product: on my hand, it looks transparent, but inside the tube you can see that it's yellowish/greenish. anyway, it applies transparent to the skin so you don't need to worry that it will be seen on your face especially if you're not wearing any makeup. me personally, i never use this in the morning because there's not enough time for me to do my routine leisurely, so i only use this at night.

the result: i have to say that it doesn't reach my expectation. i'm not sure about how it works. on some acnes, it helps shrinking the acne and reduce the redness. but, sometimes, even on cystic acne, it helps maturing it and then it will pop? my biggest complaint about this acne gel is that this doesn't work as fast as i want. in the picture progress, it's a two days different. i know some of you will say that it's fast enough, but during the two days, the acne is hard and a bit painful when being touched accidentally, so yeah.. not a fan of that.

well, this acne spot gel is ideal if you want to use it at daytime or under makeup as well. it's really affordable and you can get them basically anywhere because somethinc is widely available. as for me, i bet you can guess that i won't repurchase this one because i don't think it's effective in my opinion. but the result may vary depend on the people, so you have to try it yourself to draw a conclusion.
