The other night I had a zit pop up out of nowhere, and trust me at the age of 35 I was completely caught off guard. What does one do when that painful, shiny red spot erupts on your cheek? It had been a few years since I’d dealt with a pimple crisis, but luckily I had just received a sample of M-61’s PowerSpot Blemish Lotion.

If you search the internet for “best spot treatment,” this lotion will likely pop up (just like my zit) because it was just given an Allure Best Of Beauty Awards, you see. The prestigious title–along with rave customer reviews calling it “life changing” and “a miracle formula”–makes it absolutely worth trying for any acne sufferer.

The brand revealed that this $16 PowerSpot Blemish Lotion is actually a longtime undercover fan favorite for them, but awards are nice, too.

The fast-acting formula works overnight to squash the zit thanks to salicylic acid, glycolic acid, colloidal sulfur, witch hazel and tea tree (the big five of acne ingredients, if you will). Aloe, chamomile and camphor soothe take over the rest, soothing skin and preventing irritation and over-drying.

What you'll wake up with is a *significantly* diminished spot overnight. Try it now:
