Spot treatment products are great to add to your skincare routine if you suffer from an occasional breakout or whiteheads. They are easy to use and work fast overnight to help dry out pimples and calm your skin. I think a spot treatment product is also really good to have around times of special events - think weddings, anniversaries, vacations, etc.!
Over the last few months I have tried a few natural remedy spot treatments with some success but have been actively looking for a natural and easy spot treatment that I could keep in my collection for quick use. I wanted one that was natural, paraben-fee, cruelty-free and fragrance-free.

I recently had the opportunity to try the Georgette Klinger charcoal drying lotion. This overnight treatment is made with natural minerals and exfoliating beta hydroxy acids and does not contain parabens, dyes, or fragrance! It’s cruelty free and made in the USA!
About Georgette Klinger 〰 "In 1941, Georgette Klinger brought the best of European skincare to Madison Avenue, attracting a vast, devoted, and influential following. Georgette was, it would seem, the first to realize this simple truth: that clean, healthy skin, treated with non-abrasive, natural products, is at the heart of a glowing complexion. Skin, she believed, is a living organ to be nurtured—not a surface to be covered. We still believe this today."
This Charcoal Drying Lotion claims to:
Shrinks the appearance of troubled pores overnight
Support clearer, calmer skin
Unblock and purify pores
Draw out excess oil
Relieve redness, puffiness, swelling, and irritation

My experience 〰 This spot treatment works really well! You simply dip your q-tip into the sediment and dab it onto the troubled areas. I applied it on a few little pimples last night after cleansing and toning and then I applied my night cream around those areas. It stayed on well overnight in most areas. The product did come off in some areas like my cheeks and chin, probably because I move around a lot while I am sleeping but I did not find any stains or residue on my pillow. This morning it took a bit of effort to get it off my face with my current cleanser so I had to use a wash cloth. I actually panicked for a second, thinking it stained my skin at first... However, this was not a problem for me after seeing that my pimples were almost entirely gone! My skin definitely seems clearer and calmer than yesterday! I love that this is made with natural minerals and exfoliating BHA. You can also use this to unclog pores on your jawline, chest, and back!
Let's talk about the active ingredients 〰 This product contains activated charcoal to help draw out grease and impurities, zinc Oxide and sulfur to help control oil, salicylic Acid to dissolve pore blocking buildup of dead skin cells, white willow bark to minimize redness and tighten pores, Camphor to calm and cool, and Calamine and Glycerin to further calm the skin and moisturize. All of these ingredients work together to treat visible signs of irritation, inflammation, and sensitivity.
Full Ingredients List 〰 SD Alcohol 40B, Deionized Water, Charcoal Powder, Camphor, Glycerin, Calamine, Zinc Oxide, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Sulfur, Bentonite, Salicylic Acid, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol

After reading the full ingredients list you may be thinking about the alcohol ingredient... Why is it in this product?!
There is a lot of misguided information surrounding alcohol in skincare products. When it comes to a spot treatment, a treatment that is not used all over your face or everyday, alcohol is a great ingredient to get rid of pimples because it dries them out quickly! This is the exact reason why you do not want to use this all over your face!
It also allows for the easier penetration of the active ingredients mentioned above. The grain based alcohol contained in this product has antimicrobial properties, allowing it to kill acne causing germs and bacteria and prevent further pimples from popping up!
Overall thoughts 〰 I am so happy to have this in my skincare collection. It's great to have handy when your skin starts to act up! It works really well for me so I will continue to use it when needed. I highly recommend this cruelty-free and natural spot treatment that is made without any parabens, dyes, or fragrance and right here in the USA!
