Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Wash for Acne

Tea tree is great but I wouldn’t recommend this product for the young teens faces. It’s strong and can dry their skin out. There are a lot more better products on the story or even make your own up so you can adjust it to skin type. Love tea tree products but when the teens skin goes dry from the product the skin will naturally over compensate producing oil. Maybe if use was limited. Good product just not great.

I was really excited about trying this product as tea tree is something that I've heard lots about when it comes to acne, but never been convinced enough to try myself. Unfortunately I was disappointed.

I liked how the pump 'foamed' the product, but was frustrated that one pump of the nozzle didn't seem to provide enough to get decent coverage, two pumps of the nozzle were required.

I found the tea tree scent quite strong and it wasn't a smell I particularly enjoyed.

Those were small niggles that I would have been able to get over if the product had provided results in regards to my complexion. But, I found that the face wash left my skin feeling incredibly tight (this was relieved when following the face wash with Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Toner) and my acne is actually worse than it was prior to using this product.

I won't be continuing with Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Wash for Acne.

I have acne prone skin and love my jar of pure tea tree oil so I though I'd give this face wash a go. You need a couple of pumps to get a good amount of foam. It has a slight tea tree smell which you would expect and a tingly feeling on your skin which is fine. I need a face wash that removes my makeup but this one didn't even after a few washes, it didn't remove my eye makeup at all. As it didn't remove all my makeup, I was still getting breakouts. This face wash may be good for people who don't wear makeup, I'm not sure. I wouldn't buy this particular product but I love other products in the range.

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.

I found that the Face wash was easy to use, with the pump to dispense the product, you needed several pumps to get enough to cover your face. It wasn't strong enough to remove a full face of makeup, so I needed to remove my makeup first with another product. It had a very strong smell, obviously the Tea tree oil, which although not unpleasant, when you mix it with the whole , cleanse , tone and moisturise trio, made the smell quite overwhelming, and made me feel a bit queasy. After a few days of using it , my skin felt really quite dry, you know that taut feeling you get when a cleanser is a bit strong. Overall I think it was aggravating my oily skin by being so harsh. Maybe it may be suitable for young teenage skin, with acne, but it was a disaster for my mature acne prone skin.

As much as I love the packaging and the texture of this product (it's like rubbing clouds into your face, like no other product I've tried before), it just didn't work for me, as the weeks I trialed it progressed the skin on my face worsened and A LOT of people noticed it too. I'm not a huge fan of the smell of tea tree oil, but the smell left on my face after using the face wash was minimal.

When I started using this, my skin wasn't that bad, like there were a few pimples here and there and when I used that I found that when I put it on my skin, a little didn't go a long way, and over the course of about a month my skin just started getting redder and blotcher, It was this prouduct causing this because as soon as it ran out I didn't get anymore and it the excess redness cleared up straitght away. :-) x
