Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Medicated Gel For Acne

This is a really good product when you feel a pimple brewing or if one (or more :S ) pop up over night. You just put some of this gel onto the areas! It helps by kind of 'killing' the pimple. It stops it from getting red, sore and forming a head on it. Definitely a game changer for me.

If you are looking for a gentle natural product for mild acne prone skin then Thursday plantation is a fantastic range for you. This helped control mild acne as a teenager, however I would not recommend this for severe acne. The face wash and Thursday plantation tea tree oil also work great. The only downside to the face wash is that i often found it hard to get the right quantity out of the bottle due to the thick gel consistency of it

This medicated gel definitely does what is says which is targets blemishes and breakouts. You see definite results after the first use and blemishes/breakouts start to disappear overnight & after 48 hours it is gone! however the scent of tea tree is a bit overwhelming and the packaging is a bit bland/plain but you get used to it after a while. Overall a great product that does what it says and I would recommend this to anyone who is having problems with acne.

I found this super effective, although definitely only suitable for nighttime use due to the smell! It dried out my skin super fast, so definitely only use this where you need it.

I started using this when I had big patch areas of acne that had flared up. I'd apply it at night before I went to sleep and by morning the redness would have been minimised considerably. The gel really works wonders, however the tea tree smell is very very strong, taking about ten minutes to subside. I can't really say if the gel is very effective in preventing or controlling acne, because I didn't really notice a difference, and I only used it when necessary. Furthermore I've never tried a pimple cream as such before so I have nothing to compare my experience to. However, it's made with as many natural ingredients as possible so give it a try!

Out of all the products in the trial, this one I didn't love. It was very sticky and the smell was quite powerful and because I was using more of it than some of the other products it was quite unpleasant. I applied it at night and found it to dry my skin out and it felt quite tight. It did dry out some of my spots however the tightness I felt over all was uncomfortable and sometimes I would skip this product as it didn't do any favours for makeup application.

It said it was meant to help dissolve blackheads but it didn't. I definitely preffered the blemish stick over this product for zapping nasty spots!

I applied this gel on any acne I had and also on my nose (for blackheads) and my whiteheads. It didn't seem to do much for my blackheads, but I had one instance in which a whitehead started stinging and sort of 'erupted' and I had to pierce it with a needle to remove it. The cream seemed to help reduce the swelling and pain a little, but as for my pimples, I found no noticeable difference in how long they invaded my face for. This gel comes in a convenient tube of decent size, but seeing as it barely made a difference to my acne, I may not use up the entire thing. The smell was nice, and it didn't dry out my skin. I would be hesitant to buy this product, but seeing as I have so much left, I'll use it until my current one is empty.

Pretty much the same as the blemish stick, it didn't do anything for my skin, after using it for just over a month my skin looks very similar to how it started out, probably wouldn't purchase again, not much different to other products

This gel was my least favourite of the Thursday Plantation products during my trial. Although it smelt nice, and that I like the idea of using organic products, I found this had no obvious effect on my acne. It comes out quite sticky and clear, but dries to paste which is visible on your skin. I preferred the Thursday Plantation blemish stick as it was less obvious on the skin. Although this product had a higher concentration of Melaleuca alternifolia oil (which is meant to help bad acne) I felt like this one dried out the acne spots less than the other Thursday Plantation products. This product would probably be more beneficial to people which lesser/moderate acne problems or to maintain, rather than improve, skin.
