I woke up one morning with a disgusting breakout on the side of my left cheek, forehead and chin. I dont usually suffer from acne, I do however get a few spots on the time of the month...but this was something completly different. The spots had turned into deep red, browny colour and it was painful when i touched my face. Naturally I was really really upset. So I went into Boots and ended up buying the Oxy emergency blitz gel, used it for a day and saw that it helped a little, it helped get rid of some of the redness on my face. I then found out that it contains around 2% of benzoyl peroxide. So I figured if that worked a little bit then surely the oxy 10 ...  Read the complete review

As a long time sufferer of acne I have spent what feels like a life-time searching for a cure. I've lost count of the treatments or methods I have tried, be it dietary, holistic, antibiotics or over the counter products. Some of these worked for a time, but it was always only temporary, the spots returned and my face once more became a battleground. I recently finished a course of antibiotics which had been keeping the worst of the acne at bay, I'd opted in favour of trying another medication but when I started getting almost constant migraines I realised I had to give my body a break. Panic! For the first time in months I was going to be without ...  Read the complete review
