SPOT TREATMENT
LOVE
Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment
$8.29 (0.75 fl oz)
TAYLOR : The only way to find a great spot-treatment medication is through trial and error. You’ll find success with most any formula containing salicylic acid. We’ve tried and tested this product to our wit’s end. And let me tell you, this shit works.
LUST
Body Shop’s Tea Tree Oil
$9.50 (0.33 fl oz)
TAYLOR : Tea tree oil extract works like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Their spot treatment began working for me almost immediately, reducing redness and inflammation in my t-zone. According to the company’s website, the organic oil is extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia, or “tea tree plants”, which grow in the foothills of Mount Kenya. After the leaves are picked by hand, they are steam-distilled to release the oil. The Body Shop’s trade with the Kenya Organic Oil Farmers’ Association (KOOFA) provides work to more than 400 local farmers in impoverished areas of east Africa, half of which are women.
