If this formula isn't quite right, other much-loved blemish-busting products include La Roche-Posay Effaclar A.I. Breakout Corrector 15ml, available at Cult Beauty for £15.50. The product claims to reduce the visible appearance of spots through its oil-soluble salicylic acid formula.
Over at Boots, another option worth considering is The Breakout Hack's Spot Cream, priced at £12.99. It works to keep breakouts under control while also preventing new pimples from forming. At Aroma Zone, shoppers can also get the anti-ageing and anti-blemish Bakuchiol Serum, £9, which helps maintain skin firmness, smooths fine lines, and reduces dark spots. Alongside this, its benefits also include boosting the condition of acne-prone skin, "which it regulates, repairs, and purifies without irritating it".
Although Clarol's product has generated some rave reviews from customers, with one remarking: "This serum is amazing. I recently purchased this fab serum about a month ago and the results for me are fantastic.
"It cleared up some old lumps and bumps (and my skin is lumpy!) and is really helping with keeping my facial skin spot free. I am an older lady but have suffered from post menopausal/hormonal skin forever and also my skin is greasy!
"I'm so glad I came across a review for this product which was in one of the daily newspapers. I've bought another tube so I don't run out. I apply it after my usual moisturiser once that has sunk in both morning and evening."
