I've got a couple of small but red spots come up :mad:, and I need to try and take the redness down within a few hours, any ideas how? Tee-Tree oil?

When I was younger, I used to find that Clearasil pads (if they're still available) were pretty fast acting. I'd wake up with a spot in the morning, and it'd be hardly noticeable by lunchtime! Used to swear by those things!
:wave:
Boots do their own. A known brand is the Thursday Plantation (or something to that effect, my Mum used to use it).
They're usually about £5 for a little bottle.
or they do an antiseptic tea tree oil cream as opposed to the liquid stuff.
Boots (Botanics): 10ml £4.50
Edit: Might be worth trying this or this ?
Excuse the bias towards Boots. I work there so know their products better.
i put this boots tee tree+witch hazel spot wand thing on it and this morning it was nearly gone!
would highly recommend it, it has 1 end that has clear stuff for daytime use, and the other end has creamy stuff for use at night.
your better of paying a little bit more for something better quality tbh
That Witch Hazel face scrub + L'Oreal Men Expert Skin Renovator + Adidas Skin Moisturiser tbh = win .
hehe, just what i was thinking. yes, your spot will appear to go, but only cause the rest of your face is now a beaming red, so it blends in!
i know you're not supposed to, but to get rid of spots quick, i usually squeeze them (with squeaky clean fingers), then dab neat TCP on. hurts like hell for about 30 seconds, but in the morning your spot is nearly gone.
i had a disgusting scabby face for weeks after taking someones advice of using toothpaste! still have slight scarring too!
definate no go
ok lets start a protest for not using toothpaste on the face :hyper:
