I am always looking for better solutions to my skin problems. This product is the best thing I've found so far. It leaves my skin so soft and moisturized, reduces overall redness and skin pealing too. My face doesn't hurt to touch it anymore! Not the best fragrance but worth it anyway!I have psoriasis and have to be careful what I use on my face. This wash can be used daily or every other day and does not harm my skin! I love it!I'm going to get emotional while writing this review because that's how amazing this product is. I'm 22 and have struggled with acne since before I even hit puberty at age 9 or 10 (why? No dermatologist could ever say, or ever recommend anything that worked). I have tried EVERYTHING. When I say everything, I mean it. Ev.ry.thing. My struggle with acne has made me shy, self conscious, depressed, angry, and desperate. I'm lucky enough that my acne is not as severe as it was when I was younger, but it is still moderate at all times. Not anymore. I tried every over the counter face wash, everything the dermatologist recommended, going on myocycline, sprionolactone, and even spending six months on a high dose of accutane (which, if you haven't heard of it, causes crazy birth defects if you get pregnant while using it and can cause depression, and in my case made mine worse, and can also mess with your cholesterol pretty badly). I went on accutane when I was 16 (six years ago) and for a few months after the course, my skin was alright. Not perfect, but better. Then it went crazy again. After spending six months on a terrible drug that dries out your body so badly that you can't get anything waxed because it will rip your skin off and having joint problems because of it, my acne. Came. Back. I wasn't about to go back on it, so I floated around from product to product for the next few years.Are you bored with my "tragic" story? Good. Because here's the happy ending. The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash. I got this four days ago and can already see results. I was using tea tree oil as a spot treatment with okay results, so I decided to try this wash. I was just about desperate enough to go back on accutane (it's really hard looking for jobs and being confident on interviews right out of college when your skin is blotchy and blemished) but I decided to try one more time. I woke up yesterday morning and was in such a fantastic mood because my skin looked BEAUTIFUL (or at least relatively so). I had NO new pimples. I cannot remember the last time I woke up with no new blemishes to ruin my day. I was on cloud 9. I even have a cyst on my chin that it's reducing very quickly, and I normally have to get shots of cortizone to make them go away. I'm not super prone to cystic acne, but occasionally I get it and it's painful and ugly. No OTC products can do anything about them, but this is somehow doing the trick.I know I've only been using this for a few days so if my results change I'll update the review, but words cannot express how happy I have been since I started using this. It sounds silly, but I really am. I kind of want to kiss whoever invented this.If you're on the fence about this product, BUY IT. It's incredible. It smells wonderful (though if you've smelled tea tree oil before and don't like the smell, you won't like this) which makes using it so much better. I've had other natural facial remedies that were semi-effective but I just couldn't bring myself to use them because I hate putting stuff on my face that I don't like the smell of.I use this at night by wetting my face a bit, then rubbing it in circles all over and rinsing it off with a thin washcloth. After that I use Alba Botanica's daily moisturizing cream.Body Shop, if you need a testimonial, contact me. Your product is amazing and I have nothing but positive things to say. I'm going to slowly acquire the entire tea tree line. Thank you for making a whole set of products with such a natural, wonderful oil!Update (original review on 1/6/15, update today 3/1/15)This product is still giving amazing results. My scars are fading, I have had fewer breakouts than ever, and am so happy with my results. I have since added some more Body Shop products to my regimen. I start with plain coconut oil as makeup remover. Then, I use this cleanser to wash my face. I follow it up with Been using it since 2015, it does do some deep cleaning and my skin is kind of sensitive, but I never itch with this, that's why I'm keep buying this but it's too cool so don't use before sleep or you will feel awake.This is my second time buying this stuff! My face does great! I haven't broken out in so long and my face is no longer suppose oily all the time!It works really well. I was sad when my normal stuff got discontinued, so I figured I'd give this one a try. It has kept my seborrhea at bay and my skin clear. The only downside is it's a pretty strong natural tea tree smell. But better than some that I tried. I'm going to keep using it, I'm happy with the results.tea tree face wash has become the go to for cleansing.no smell except light mint, foams up well, cleans off without residue.i have allergies to certain products so I have used this for at least 2 years now.I have had this product close for a month now and I've used it every single day. I made sure to routinely work it in my habits to give a fair review. Please note, not everyone will have the same outcome so take caution. I have to say I'm very pleased with the results. I had a few blemishes from the intense sun exposure this past summer and I wanted to find a product that would help remove them. I did not expect this particular product to do much but surprisingly in little of a week I saw a major improvement in my skin's clarity. My skin looks more clear and brighter than before. Blemishes have seemed to have been erased. Its now part of my showering routine each day.It says not to use it near your eyes, but I've used it around my eyes and nothing has happened. I do make sure to keep my eyes closed very tightly and scrub with my hands and massage it in. I then rinse with warm water and continue showering. The tingling sensation is nice and not burning. Its invigorating and can definitely jumpstart your morning after waking up.The downside is that it kind of smells and reminds me of mouthwash. Its not too bad, it's just very reminiscent of a spearmint mouthwash. I was hoping it'd have a different and more tropical smell but since it has pure tea tree oil infused in it, I suppose that's just something I have to ignore. Another downside; although it may clear your skin and refreshen it. It may dry out your face and might leave it feeling a little bit raw. In order to combat this, I recommend having your own facial moisturizer to add after you are done with it.Overall, I am satisfied and will continue to order more. Also a little bit goes a long way. You do not need to use a lot of this product in order for it to work. It lathers very well with a palm sized amount!I have purchased the same product from Amazon India (A) and also from a Body Shop store in Taiwan (T). Although they have very similar labels, there is a huge difference between the two products.The tea tree oil concentration seems less in A than T. After applying T, I feel a cold chill on my face which is absent in A. I might not be able to quantify the differences but surely A feels fake. Also, T costs 2.5x in Taiwan as compared to Amazon India.This could very well be a strategy from Body Shop to sell cheaper quality products at a cheaper price in India.Este es de los mejores limpiadores faciales para piel con tendencia acné. Además por el precio y la cantidad es una ganga comparado a qué si compras el mismo producto en la tienda oficial de TBS.Mi piel es mixta y este limpiador me la deja muy fresca y limpia después de su uso. Su fragancia es una maravilla y después de la primera semana de uso note la diferencia, pues no producía tanto sebo, además el producto no te reseca.Recomiendo ampliamente adquirirlo, si lo puedes complementar con el aceite de té verde y los demás productos de la misma línea; conseguirás muy buenos resultados.Saludos y si te sirvió la reseña ayúdame con un like/útil.I usually have really good skin but have developed ‘maskne’ due to covid and working for the NHS and having to wear a mask all day.After not even a week of using this my skin is starting to clear up and I haven’t developed any new spots!I use it alongside the body shop tea tree face mask and my skin looks and feels so much better.I developed acne rosacea which was diagnosed by a consultant who prescribed antibiotics. These worked whilst I was using them, but it came back as soon as I stopped.I did extensive research until I came across an article which described how the mites that cause the condition thrive in certain circumstances.I’m far from a hippy, but was keen to try anything. The article suggested working on gut health and using tea tree oil. I used diluted pure tea tree oil before bed on the bad spots, then used this face wash morning and night. I combined this with some probiotics and the problem was pretty much gone inside a month.I’ve dropped the oil and probiotics, but still use this when I wake and before bed and the problem has gone away.I’m so impressed by this product that I always keep a spare bottle so that I don’t run out!Fantastic stuff!I've had blepharitis for years and tried all kinds of products with small results. I wash my while face then rub some along my eyelash line with my eyes closed, then rinse. After only 1 week of using this product I have no inflammation, irritation or crusting of my eyelids. My skin feels so clean and fresh. It's removed excess oil on my face without drying my skin.
