For any of you young girls or just about to become women out there who are prone to breaking out in a spot or two every now and then or even having quite a few of them, this product is a real God send and I wish it had been around when I was young.

According to the country that you live in 'Teenstick' (as known in the UK) and produced by the company Arkopharma, is sold under different names as follows:

ACN@STICK (Belgium, Spain, Italy, Holland)

TEENSTICK (UK)

FITACNOL (France)

X-ZIT (USA, Australia)

ROLL-A-CLEAN (Germany)

As per the photo above it comes in a small bottle with a convenient roller ball application which you can carry with you in your handbag all the time or even in a pocket. It just couldn't be easier to use and so when you feel a spot coming on, one of those nasty little bumps that begins to swell up and go red in colour, you just roll 'teenstick' over it a couple of times during the day and within three days the spot will have gone. It has a nice astringent feel to it but yet it doesn't dry the skin around the spot excessively as some other topical creams end up doing, and although these other creams eventually get rid of the spot they also leave the skin around it all flaky and dry so you get rid of one nuisance only to be left with another!!

It's ingredients contain:

clove - which cleanses and opens up the blocked sebaceous follicles.

geranium - an astringent which helps to dry up up the sores caused by the spots.

palmarosa - an antiseptic and antibacterial which nourishes the skin.

tea tree oil - which with its purifying properties help to fight the bacteria within the spot or acne.

Ylang Ylang - which reduces skin inflammation.

Depending on your store it costs around € 8.50 and is worth every penny.

I myself am far from being young any more and have exchanged my pimples for wrinkles but nevertheless every now and then I do still get the odd spot erupting which is probably due to my being too heavy handed with my moisturisers in order to revitalise my skin. So when this happens I just use my 'teenstick' and even after the first application I already notice how the spot starts to bother me less. It immediately takes the heat out and no longer feel so greasy and the height of the bump begins to diminish.

As I said before, if this had existed when I was young I would have avoided a lot of damage to my face while I visciously tried to squeeze the spot out, something that we were all taught that we should never do but yet I am sure that there are very few people that didn't do it!!!
