BV Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from it works! I am 49 and have been suffering from awful spots on my chin (never had them before the menopause kicked in) and they were sore, red and getting me down. Make up didn't cover them properly. I bought this at the supermarket, very good price and used it that evening. In the morning the redness had gone down a lot and I used it twice that day, when I got up the second day they had practically gone. No make up needed at all, I used it for another day just to clear up the unevenness. Really pleased that I bought this, can't rate it highly enough. 4 days later you can't tell they were even there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from does what it promises! Alongside this I use Benzoyl Peroxide and a Neutrogena Oil free moisturizer. I've been working on clearing my face but I have stubborn acne on my chin and a bit above my eyebrows that just would not go away. The benzoyl peroxide cleared up a lot but not completely. I was so surprised when i actually started seeing differences in four hours. The zits flattened and looked less irritated. Usually my zits stay a long time because i've really inflamed zits. nodules etc. this makes it go away in 1-2 days. and after the first day the zit isnt red anymore and not as irritated. completely gone by day 2 and no scarring. yay!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from absolutely horrible i bought this for my skin, i have fairly good skin just with a few spots on my forehead so for the past week i have been using this product and every day my skin kept getting dry but i didnt think it could be the spot cream so i kept using it, i now have a blistered forehead which is too sore to touch, horrible horrible product, my skin has never been so bad.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Redness I bought this spot treatment to help reduce the redness of my spots. Very surprised it actually stung for a few minutes after I applied it, I thought it was calming. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, maybe I had a reaction. Couldn't see side effects listed on packaging to know if stinging sensation was meant to happen or not. Very disappointed it didn't help with the redness.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Burnt my skin i used this on my skin before bed on a few pimples on the lower half of my face and it instantly started a burning sensation and i gathered that was it getting to work but when waking up to go to the toilet a few hours later i was left with large red burns, 3 of which are raised, and it’s extremely painful all over. i don’t recommend using this product on any sensitive skin.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Useless! Bought this 3 days ago because it promised 'visibly reduces spots in just 4 hours'. I wish! No improvement at all; redder, bigger, despite regular applications over 3 days. I am now sporting something on my cheek which resembles a small country. Complete waste of money. Never again. I wanted to leave no stars as a rating but it doesn't let you.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Didnt work! Well first of all the box says it visibly reduces spots in just 4 hours. Which is just not true. I've been using this product for 5 days now and instead of my spots going they're just getting worse
