Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Cleanser
Yes, but with a catch: it’s not a miracle. You won’t wake up with the skin of a baby dolphin. After two weeks of morning and night use, my breakouts halved, and the ones that dared appear were smaller than a grain of rice. That’s a win in my book. However, if you’re expecting a Botox-level transformation, you might as well rub a potato on your face.
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser Review
The bottle lasts about three months if you’re not a hog. For $14 (USD), it’s cheaper than therapy and smells slightly less offensive. Also, it’s vegan and cruelty-free, so no bunnies were harmed in the making of your zit crusher. That should make you feel noble while you scrub.
A Cautionary Tale: The Pore Strip Incident
Here’s a dumb thing I did: I used this cleanser right before a date, and my face turned bright red for ten minutes. Turns out, the tea tree oil reacts if your skin is already pissed off. So patch test first, unless you want to explain to your date, “No, I’m not allergic—I just love the thrill of chemical warfare.” They’ll laugh, but they won’t kiss you.
Pro tip: don’t get it near your eyes, unless you enjoy crying in the shower for no reason. Seriously, it’s like rinsing with a jalapeño smoothie. My eyes burned for a solid four minutes, and I gained a new respect for tear gas survivors.
