My take on Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment:

I am too fond of the brand Kiehl's! Their products have just been just a nice blessing in my life. Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment is basically to calm down active acne. Since my skin hates me 90% of the time and keeps breaking out I decided to check some spot treatment. There must be a gazillion products in the market which claim to reduce zits in 24 hours, but most of them just make false claims. So I wanted to try something from the brands I can trust on. Obviously my choices were narrowed down to Clinique, Kiehl's and Clarins. But somehow my loyalty to the brand Kiehl's made me pick this. 

Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment comes in a super tiny tube (15 ml) with a nozzle with a tiny hole to squeeze out just the right amount. The consistency of this is gel like and is clear. What I do is squeeze just a little bit of product and apply this only on new active acne and leave it dry and follow up with a moisturiser. Its best to just use on the acne because it is kinda drying. It does feel sticky at first but after using it 2-3 times you kind of get used to it. What I really like is how it reduces a new pimple in just a day by 50% and then by 2nd day it kind of vanishes. I love that fact that this is one product that stands true to its claim.

Pros:

1. Comes in a tiny tube that can be easily carried around anywhere.
2. Actually works immediately in reducing redness and the size of the zits.
3. Not scary ingredient list!

Cons:

1. Can be a bit drying, but nothing a moisturiser cannot take care of.
2. Feels sticky!
3. Price (Rs 1500 for 15 ml sounds insane but with results I dont feel that pinch much)

Recommendation:

I strongly recommend Kiehl's Blue Herbal Spot Treatment for those of you battling with annoying breakouts must try this out. It dramatically reduces the size of the zit in just 24 hours! It could be a bit pricey but looking at what it does you can totally ignore it.
