Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Medicated Gel For Acne

First off, I couldn't make out any difference between this product and the Tea Tree Blemish Stick, I honestly think this is the same product just in a different container. I like that this is a invisible gel, that absorbs/dries quickly. It smells very heavily of tea tree oil, and the smell does linger on your skin for quite awhile after applying.

This seems to be the same stuff as in the tube with the applicator. I initially thought this would be better given it had to go on more sterile being freshly squeezed from the tube each time but have to say I prefer the applicator version for ease of use. I could only ever manage to squeeze too big a blob out at once and this meant I also ended up with too much on each blemish. Says its good on black heads but I didn't see any difference No real fragrance

This is the most effective thing i have ever used for my acne!! I saw a huge difference after using this product (along with the others) in just 2 days. It reduced the redness and inflammation so well I couldn't believe my eyes! My husband even commented-which he never does. So i would highly recommend this stuff to anyone whether they just have a few minor breakouts or bull blown acne! I'm buying some for my teen brothers :-)

I cant say much about this product as it didnt do much, to put it simple if you suffer from acne a lot like I do - My main problem areas are my face and chest - then although this product looks like it does a lot it really doesn't.

For starters, the smell is something to be desired seriously it smells like the nit treatment I had when I was a child.

consistency - The gel felt really thick and I did not like how heavy it felt on my skin, although in saying that it did seem to make it tingle a bit!

Results- The product was great in drying up my acne, but other then that it really did nothing else. It didnt help prevent future break outs, in fact my chest is worse then ever.

Strongly recommend people purchase the Tea Tree range from the body shop and do not recommend purchasing it, as there are a lot of other options out there that are much better.

This product is a thick, clear gel that you apply to blemish-prone areas. I usually use this at night after cleansing - I find it has a very strong tea tree smell so I don't use it during the day! I apply the gel to areas where I often get breakouts, such as my forehead and chin. I found that this product did reduce the severity of my breakouts, although did not clear them up completely. I could see that I had overall clearer skin which was great! I wouldn't recommend it for someone with severe acne as I don't think the product is powerful enough, but for someone like me with minor acne, it does the trick. Also it's great to know that I'm using a product that contains natural ingredients and no nasties!

Tea Tree Face Wash for Acne Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Toner Tea Tree Face Cream Tea Tree Blemish Gel Tea Tree Blemish Stick

My 16 year old son who has always struggled with acne began using this approx 6 weeks ago (5 March 14). He has written the review.

I really like the colour of the labeling/packaging – the green gives it a nice natural look. The size of the products are great – not too large, but they do last a long time.

Face Wash When the nozzle is pressed down the product foams up instantly in your hand. This makes the application very easy. I have just left it on my skin while in the shower, then rinsed off. The fragrance of the tea tree is very appealing. The Face Wash leaves your skin feeling really nice and soft (not dry at all). Having used this product every day sometimes twice a day, for the past 6 weeks, given the weight of the bottle, I imagine I haven’t even used half of the bottle – so it goes a VERY long way.

Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Toner – I have been applying this product with a make up pad which makes application nice and easy. It is very refreshing to use and gets rid of any excess grime missed with the face wash.

Tea Tree Face Cream I use this straight after the toner, it makes my skin feel light and soft if you know what I mean. The container has only just lasted me 6 weeks and that was being very careful. It does feel a little greasy on my skin.

I am a part time tennis coach so am out in the sun a lot – I have to use sunblock on a daily basis. This seems to really make my skin / acne more pronounced. I am careful to cleanse my skin as soon as possible to get rid of the sunblock.

After two weeks of using the product, I noticed a real change in my skin. It was less firey and the spots were not so noticeable. This did change though when using sunblock – this made it flare up again.

I used the Blemish Gel and Spot Stick on the spots that really stuck out. This took the redness away pretty much overnight.

During the trial my acne never really came to major white heads which I have had in the past. These products seemed to keep things under control. It definitely hasn’t got rid of the problem, but I guess just managing it a little better. I don’t look like the kid from the Pizza shop anymore.

I have really enjoyed trialling the products and hope my review is of help to other acne sufferers.

All products are very affordable and can be purchased from the supermarket

I've been struggling with acne for 15 years and I make it quite loud and clear how passionate I am about anything acne related, so seeing BR offering the acne trial I just had to jump. Natural products, trialling in the safety of my own environment, win win for me.

First impression: There are no instructions that occupanies this gel so I was confused about its use. We had received a cream and also a blemish stick so why did I need a gel? Common sense had to prevail and the gel was quite indicative of a stronger spot treatment. So I was not going to plaster my face in this gel but rather use it sparingly and as a spot treatment. Its a strong pungent smell, the texture is quite sticky and clammy so there was no way I could be convinced to dunk my face in this.

First use: I used this in the morning as I had chosen to use the blemish stick at night because I wanted to create and even spread and usage of the 5 products that I received. I hate the feel of the gel and it took forever to absorb into my skin.

Week 1: My skin had broken out real bad because of the cleanser and toner bad boys, so I didnt use this often all. I was too scared I would make the acne worse, because the gel is strong and had this burning sensation when applied onto pimples. It stung my new pimples and it wasnt pleasant at all.

Week 2: Probably my least favourite product right now because it gives my skin a heck of a sting especially on new pimples, but saying that, I put on my big girl pants and toughed it out because I could see and feel it acting as a drawing ointment for the redness and it was healing my pimples.

Week 3: I had 3 hectic painful bolts on my face and after 2 days of using as a spot treatment, those bolts had dried out and gone! Oh and not to brag but day 21 I had NO ACNE!

Week 4: I used it occassionally on some new acne I developed. The gel was making my skin greasy so I only used it when I really needed it. At this stage the gel is managing the new breakouts and not letting them escalate into bolts.

Week 5: Used at night as a spot treatment for 4 consecutive days and by day 34, no pimples!

Week 6: I havent used it all because the new acne I have is not painful, not cystic and not pussy so I dont need to overload my skin with products.

This product is not the best acne product I've used and the stingy benefits are not pleasant, but the pay off... not to have pimples and have this remove painful bolts, is more than enough to keep me using this product in my routine. The benefits it provided me definitely outways the hassle of stinging and potential oiliness when you over use the product. If I product is going to help my acne, I dont what it does to my skin in the interim and long as the result is no pimples!

I'm am to this day still not sure what this is meant to do. I've seen no difference at all on my skin from using this at all. I've used it for about 6 weeks now, so I have given it a proper and fair go. It say that Its meant to control your black and white heads, bit it just seems to add more white heads to my problem areas which is disappointing. I'm almost abit confused with this product.

I've been using this gel as a night time treatment, and it has really worked with reducing size and redness overnight. It has a strong tea tree smell. I use this at night time as I don't know how makeup would go on afterwards, as it's quite a thick shiny gel. It's a great price for the amount of product you receive. The packaging is in a tube, so product is not exposed to air. Have definitely seen the reduction in overall acne from using this system, and the break outs I have had have reduced in a much quicker time frame.

I have had acne for the last 20 or so years, and I'm now in my forties and still struggling with it. I was very excited to be chosen for the acne trial to see if this could be the product range for me. Sadly after using it for 2 weeks, my skin had broken out so badly, the worst it has been in years, that I stopped using the products.It irritated my skin so much that I am still breaking out. However I will review how I found the products.

Like the other products this had a strong tea tree smell. When I opened this product, I wasn't sure whether it was supposed to be used as a preventative measure or just to be used on areas which had pimples already. I found the instructions to be quite lacking in this area, and even after going on their website i'm still not sure! However I decided to use it on areas which were already breaking out, rather than putting it areas which were prone to breaking out. It is a clear gel which absorbs well, however I didn't find it made any difference to clearing up my breakouts. I also trialled in on my teenage son, who is getting breakouts on his nose, and it made no difference at all to the amount of time it took the pimples to clear up. I didn't find this product was at all effective. Its simply not drying enough to get rid of spots quickly.
