Hello everyone,

Who else doesn’t get annoyed when it comes to blemish skin? These days I am having a few small pimples on my skin. To get rid of this, I bought this tree tea oil from the TBS brand which I have heard as a very good product. I have used this product quite often time, so today I am going to review about this product.

Product description and claims by The Body Shop: The tree tea oil, which has antibacterial properties, is made from the Melaleuca alternifolia plant, so also know as melaleuca oil.

-Target blemish, remove impurities and mattify the skin

Price: NRs.1990 for 20ml

Shelf life: You can check the manufacturing date through the batch code and its PAO (Period after opening) time is 12 months.

Key Ingredients: Contains pure leaf essential oil, made with hand-harvested leaves and gently steam-distilled.

How to use: Apply small portion directly on the blemish area using cotton pad or clean fingertips.

My Experience of using this product: I have a combination skin with an oily T-zone; due to which sometime I noticed few pimples on my face. So, I bought this product from one of my favorite brand The Body Shop. I had always a good experience with this brand so I stick into it even though the price is really on a high side. I thought to buy the small bottle, but unluckily that was out of stock so I had to buy the 20ml bottle.

This product comes in tiny greenish color glass bottle with a twist cap on top which has a very good locking mechanism. The product looks really cute and has very freshly, strong mint smell. To use this, I took a portion in my finger tips, and tap it over the pimple area. It gives an irritating feeling with cooling effect which last only for a few second. At morning, the pimple seems to be reduced but not totally. I use it continuously every morning and night, but I don’t feel any changes in my pimples area. I didn’t even use any other products over that area so that this product could work effectively. But, this product has laid down my expectations. This does nothing for my pimples and also doesn’t work what it claims. I wonder how other people have a good review about this product. May be this is not for my skin type.

Pros:

Can be used as makeup removers, since it has antibacterial properties

Cons:

Doesn’t work for pimple

Difficult to take out the product

Very expensive

Overall: I would definitely do not recommend anyone to try this product.

My personal rating: 0.5/5

Experience: I bought this when I felt like my face was a bit drying and dirty because of travelling. Body shop has always been one of my favorite brands when it comes to skin and body care products. So I choose this cleanser which has vitamin E elements. I mostly use it when I have to travel, generally once a week. The product texture is whitish in color, soft and light with very mild fragrance. Before cleansing my whole face, I take a pea size in cotton pad and wipe off my eyes and lip area where we have lots of makeup because I don’t want to mess up make up all over my face while cleansing my face. After that I take a small portion and slightly massage my skin upwards and outwards until all my makeup seems clean and after that I wipe off with the cotton pad. I love the cool feeling it gave to my skin and how it makes my skin feel fresh, clean and soft. But the only drawback is that the effect does not last long, you have to use moisturizer after using this product or else it will make your skin dry after an hour. You can also apply this on a daily basis, as this cleanser is really mild and does not break you out on regular use.

My likes:

Does not break me out

Makes my skin clean and soft

Clean all impurities with small portion

Product packaging is quite cute and flip opening is really hygienic

The product is fragrance free and very mild

Contains Vitamin E

Non-greasy

My Dislikes:

Expensive (But last long)

The effect does not last long

Some Tips:  

While buying cleanser, for dry skin –avoid foaming cleanser and use cream based which moisturize and soothe your skin. For combination skin, you can use gel, lotion and use something that is very mild. For oily skin, use foaming or gel based formula and for sensitive or acne-pro skin, you fragrance free and preservatives ones.

Avoid using cleanser with alcohol, fragrance and parabens, as these chemicals are not good for the skin

Use that has essential oils and natural ingredients

Don’t rub your skin vigorously upwards and downward as you make loose the elasticity of your skin

Don’t forget to check the check the expiry date. ;)

Overall: I like this product, but wish this would have come in a smaller bottle as a travelling package.

My overall Rating: 4.5/5
