Desert Essence Herbal Blemish Touch Stick with Natural Extracts & Essential Oils - .31 Fl Ounce - Antiseptic Tea Tree Oil - Chamomile - Lavender - Palmarosa - Clear & Radiant Skin

I had my doubts when I bought this product. I have had severe acne throughout my teen years up to my 20s. After two courses of Accutane my skin has finally become manageable. I still suffer from the occasional cyst here and there especially on my forehead. My forehead is an oil rig, it never stops pumping oil. When it gets really oily (towards the end of the day) my forehead gets really itchy and I always break out in cysts.I needed something natural that would soothe and heal my skin, kill the bacteria and minimize oil production. I had my doubts when I came across this product because it contained essential oils. I thought it would add oil to my already oily skin, boy was I wrong. It contains Witch Hazel and natural grain alcohol along with the essential oils so when it comes out there's absolutely no oily residue. I have to admit it has a strong smell from all the extracts it contains but it's bearable and eventually fades after a few minutes.My skin care routine is as follows, I was my face with Dessert Essence Thoroughly clean face wash, apply Dessert Essence Daily Essential face moisturizer with jojoba, I wait a few minutes and then I apply the Blemish touch stick to my oily areas (my forehead, nose) and that's it. I Just roll a thin layer covering my entire forehead and nose. It feels great when I apply it on my skin and most importantly it does it's job. It heals red spots, browns spots, prevents new cysts and pustules from forming and reduces oil. I wish I found this product sooner but I'm glad I finally did. It's great for acne suffers because it not only fights breakouts but it nourishes and heals the skin NATURALLYIf you have severe oil production like me this product is a god send for us, please give it a try you won't be disappointed. This is coming from a guy who suffered through hell with his skin. Thank you Dessert Essence for making such great products that actually work and are all natural.take care

Where has the Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick been my whole life??!! Seriously! I would have loved to discover this product about 10 years ago. I have used other topical treatments for blemishes/spots that have been moderately successful but are very drying and full of chemicals. This stick is full of natural ingredients and essential oils. It does NOT overly dry out my skin, but it does quickly reduce the size/appearance of blemishes (within 1 day, 2 days for bigger/deeper/older blemishes). It feels and smells good and natural to use. I have even used it on emerging cold sores and have been able to get rid of the sore before it became a problem. It is truly a miracle stick. I use this at least 2+ times per day (more often if I have an emerging blemish) in combination with the Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash (highly recommended also). In addition to being in love with this blemish stick, I'm becoming obsessed with the Desert Essence line of products because of their natural ingredients and lack of animal testing. If you are looking for a few face regimen, I highly recommend giving this and their face wash a try! This is the first time since I was in high school that I feel comfortable without putting on make up, because my face is so clear and clean!

I have been using this bad boy for 10+ years on all my blemishes, and my nose area to keep free of blackheads! It smells exactly like Tea Tree Oil (Bc it is... try to familiarize yourself with that scent before you purchase) The scent was very strong for me, but it is so worth it. Tea Tree Oil is a natural antiseptic, so it works great for open pimples or pimples yet to be popped. This is an amazing formula, Bc 100% Tea Tree is too strong to use on your face (you might get a burning sensation), so this is a mix of Tea Tree & Witch Hazel which also helps with redness and inflammation. I use to have cystic acne (and I still do tbh) but that god it is way better now Bc of Tea Tree! I carry this with me since it is so tiny, yet so powerful.

I cannot express how GREAT this product is!! I have suffered from acne ever since I was a teen (thanks, Dad!) just like my father did, and we both still do. For years I only used products that were FILLED with chemicals, at one point even taking antibiotics! Nothing worked. One day, I did some research and learned that all the chemicals I was using could be making my acne worse! The chemicals can irritate the skin even more AND they strip your face of natural oils that can help keep your acne "at bay". About a year ago, I decided to go more natural, and bought Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash, and wow! Using that, I would still get TINY little pimples. I started to use a moisturizer, it made my face worse. I HIGHLY recommend this product with Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash. I use the Wash once a day, and use this stick 3 times a day. The directions say 5 to 6 times a day, but that is way too much. The product has new packaging, and arrives as a glass container with a rollerball at the top, so no need to touch your face! You just roll it over WHATEVER blemish you have on your face (pimples, cold sores, blackheads, etc.) or anywhere on your body you may have something (bug bites, cuts, etc.) and this powerful antiseptic does it's job. When I first apply it, my blemishes briefly gets redder for a few minutes as the liquid gets into where it needs to go and starts to kill the bad stuff. I apply when I wake up, once in the afternoon, and right before bed. It kills whatever you may have WITHOUT drying it out like other products do. It briefly smells a little bad, but who cares as long as it goes away fast and clears up your skin. Use this!!
