TikTokers are using this $22 Chemist Warehouse find as a spot treatment
It's time to retire that old tube of toothpaste
Ever experienced the occasional bout of breakouts, or dealt with uneven tone, texture, and blemishes?
If so, you’re probably sick of hearing unsolicited advice from all angles, but as it turns out, so is BeautyTok.
Pimple-prone content creators have been ditching drying benzoyl peroxide and toothpaste as spot treatments for a far more hydrating and calming option.
The best part? You probably already have this affordable beauty buy stashed in your bathroom cabinet — La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast Baume B5+ ($21.99 from Chemist Warehouse).

Thanks to this cocktail of hydrating and soothing ingredients, Baume B5+ can be used as a face moisturiser by those with dry and sensitive skin, or as a spot treatment on particularly dry areas of skin anywhere on the body.
Alternatively, it can be used as a rinse-off moisturising face mask on all skin types by applying a thick layer for about 20 minutes.

TikTokers aren't the only ones dishing out affordable advice for dealing with breakouts. Jenna Ortega's 3-step skin care routine costs less than $50.
Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
