Do natural deodorants/ antiperspirants actually work?
Topically, spot cures like tea tree oil do work. Using a spot treatment that has sulphur and salicylic acid (Murad Blemish Spot Treatment, £14, muraduk.com) a few times a day can help, as can Nick Lowe’s range at Boots. The newest remedies for spots are laser-based home devices. With the Zeno, light is used as a form of heat to cure acne. You hold it on the spot for a few minutes and repeat the process over 24 hours. However, in my opinion, the Zeno Mini (£69.99) is better for the odd spot than for acne.
