Spot on

Everyone gets the occasional plook. If you’re susceptible, pick up some of this satisfyingly astringent smelling treatment. It contains our favourite spotfighting ingredient, salicylic acid, along with horse chestnut and oat extracts. Apply a blob of this clear gel and, they say, the pustule will be smaller and less red within four hours. Sold. Rapid Relief Spot Treatment, £17, Murad, www.murad.co.uk
