I have only seen other reviews on the range and most people have complained about the packing as it has been changed since it first launched. Personally, from what I have seen, this packaging looks so much more professional and like a skincare range. Whereas before it looked too much like the bath products.
I went into Boots the other day and needed a mascara and then just bought things that I probably didn't need. So I picked up Soap and Glory's 'Dr Spot' which is a 'breakout clearing gel'. I have heard people say that this is better than products that are properly advertised for Breakouts, like Freederm. It claims to 'Fight stubborn spots immediately after application', but I haven't actually used it yet so I can't tell you if it does that. I don't actually get breakouts on my skin, but I just felt like I needed to buy this just in case. It has clog clearing salicylic acid and ginger in it, if that helps, but ginger's cool. The one thing that really bugs me about this is the packaging though. There is a massive box, but when you open it up, the tube is tiny in comparison. Why would they do that, it's just annoying. But hey-ho, I'll get over it. However, my favourite colour is green and the writing is green, so that makes up for it, kind of (not really).
I then debated for a while on whether to get 'The Fab Pore' or 'No Clogs Allowed', but I chose 'The Fab Pore' in the end. I knew what I was buying because I researched it and read up on reviews. But in case you are expecting a peel from this product, which it states that it is a '2-in-1 pore purifying mask & peel', it is NOT a peel. You simply scrub this, mainly down your T-zone and leave it there for 5-10 minutes and then rinse it away. It is more of a creamy scrub. This has a very strong smell of I think mint or Aloe Vera or something along those lines, but it smells quite fresh. I have used this once already and it burns/tingles your face, like it's supposed to, but me being me, I got scared so took it off after 5 minutes. But it is so refreshing! It is a product aimed at people with oily/combination skin and mine is combination, so I am hoping this will help me in some way. You use it 1-3 times per week, depending on how much you want to use it. I think I will use it once or twice a week, dependant on whether or not I can be bothered. With products like this it's nice to feel the tingle because it makes you believe that it is doing something, even if it isn't. I have seen reviews saying this is better for people with more sensitive skin, if you were wondering!?
I really wanted to buy 'Sit Tight' as it supposed to help your thighs look firmer. I hate my thighs, but I think most people do. I never really like trying products like this, because they never work and I thought £16.50 was quite excessive for this. BUT, I was in Boots, causally, and my sister spotted that it got knocked down to £4.13??!!! WHAT?! So I took my chances and bought it. I wouldn't have done though if it was the proper price. It sates that it is 'stronger than ever!' with 'quadruple-action' so we shall see. It says that you can see results after just 4 weeks and I hate it wen products say this, because they are generally lying, but I haven't used it for 4 weeks yet, so I can't say if this is actually true or not.
The Fab Pore: £10 (saved 1/3, so was £6.66)
Dr Spot: £8.00 (saved 1/3, so was £5.33)
Sit Tight Intense XS: £16.50 (on sale, so was £4.13)
