Hot Stuff: Biore Warming Blackhead Fighting Cream Cleanser

Once you apply this slightly sticky cream to your face, it magically heats up, which, despite its name, is a bit of a surprise! Or it was to me anyway, doh.

The warming sensation feels really nice, and it heats up for a reason too - the cream contains zeolite, which is a mineral clay that warms up on contact with water. This apparently helps to better target pore-clogging dirt, oil and make-up and will help to prevent new blackheads from forming.

The formula also contains salicylic acid, which we know is used in anti-acne preparations and so will help to fight annoying breakouts as well. And it smells delicious - it's melon scented.

Now, does it work? Well, you can use it every day, but lazy me only uses it now and then, so I'm probably not getting the maximum benefits out of it. But it does leave your skin feeling really clean and soft, so it gets a thumbs up.
