The Indie Lee Blemish Lotion has been on my radar for a few months. I had heard nothing but rave reviews on this product. I was intrigued by its unique application method - letting the product (clay) sink to the bottom and dip a q-tip into the bottle. After using this product for a couple of weeks and I can see its appeal. I think that this product works wonders on those nasty stubborn blemishes that seem to pop up out of nowhere. However, I don't just suffer from the occasional pimple. Majority if my acne is underneath the skin. I also have extremely dry skin (especially during the winter) that aggravates my acne. I found that because there is Isopropyl Alcohol in this product, it only aggravated my dry skin, thus not doing much for my acne. Because I cannot just get away with putting this on one spot, I have to use it on many pimples, I wake up to dry flaky skin. Unfortunately as an everyday acne treatment this doesn't do much for me. I do think that this is great for the occasional "above the surface" pimple. You know those ones that have a clearly defined "head" or "opening". Because of its ability to clear that type of acne fast, I will keep this in my medicine cabinet. I am also interested to see how my skin will react to this during the summer when my skin is less dry. What I like about the Indie Lee Blemish Lotion is that it is fairly inexpensive. I say that because this will last a long time. Even though I felt like I used so much of it, I barely made a dent in it. For $26 USD your money will be well spent. You won't have to go running out for another bottle in a months time.
Have you tried the Indie Lee Blemish Lotion? What are your favorite products for clearing up blemishes?
UPDATE: Now that it's summer, my skin reacts to this so much better! I find that if I don't over use this product, this is a fantastic topical treatment for hard to get rid of blemishes! It's only when I'm using this every single night that it dries out my skin.
Nice review miss! Pity it didnt work for you that much...x
ReplyDeleteI know! I was a little bit disappointed. However, next I am going to try the Osmia Spot Treatment!
DeleteThank you! xx
I have this blemish lotion too and luckily it works for me. But as you say, it's a topical treatment and it's one of the few treatments without tea tree (my skin doesn't seem to like tea tree, unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to find a product that works great for you! Osmia is also on my wishlist, so I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts about it :) xx
Thanks Liz! That sucks that tea tree doesn't work well for you. I am fortunate that works for me. I will be switching back to that until I get around to purchasing the Osmia Spot Treatment. I've heard so many great things about it! I am happy that the Indie Lee Blemish Lotion works well for you!
DeleteI've heard so many great things about this lotion for blemishes. Shame it didn't work for you though dear xx
ReplyDeleteI know, I was disappointed! However, I only think that this is because of the type of acne that I have, they mostly reside underneath the skin. I think that this works on blemishes that are above the surface.
DeleteThank you for reading! xx
Thanks for the honest review - I really want to try this but worried it won't work! x

You're welcome :)
DeleteI think it honestly depends on what type of acne you have and what your skin condition is like. I have dry skin and "underneath the skin" acne. I think that using this product once in a while on acne that has a clearly defined "head' will work. If you suffer from dry skin like me I would just say to not use this every single night on your blemishes. Unfortunately I am still suffering the consequences from overdoing it!
