Pros:

-really cleared up my acne fairly quickly
-makes my skin feel really soft

Cons:

-does nothing for blackheads
-the smell, while not unpleasant, does take some getting used to (it can be quite strong)
-some drying in healing areas
-you actually have to make a trip to the mall as it isn't sold in the grocery store like most washes

I've had persistent acne for at least 10 years. My skin is often flaky and oily at the same time and has always been difficult to manage. I think I've tried nearly every trick in the book to no effect and I was just about at my wit's end when this was recommended to me by a friend. It's by far the most effective wash I've ever used (in combination with the toner and lotion that are meant to go with it). This is the clearest my face has been since I was 13! I use once in the morning and once at night and I could really start to see the difference by the end of the first week. The pros definitely outweigh the cons in my opinion!

Pros:

Feels fresh on skin
Makes skin feel supple
Skin feels softer
Skin looks shinier
Skin feels cleaner

Cons:

Took awhile to take effect
Smells weird at first (only because i didnt know what tea tree smelled like :P )

I bought this about 2-3 months ago and at first it worked a little bit but then during the middle of the usage I broke out SO BAD but this was NOT BECAUSE OF THIS PRODUCT. But now my moderate acne has gone down to very light acne and now i have no pimples and just very light acne scars! I used to have dark acne scars, red pimples, white heads, cyst acne but now... its gone.. just wow.

Gave me a Serious Break Out
I've never had bad acne just the odd pimple here and there.....then I started using this daily and my skin broke out soooo badly.....I kept using it for 2 months and just kept wondering why my skin was breaking out (pimples on pimples that didn't go away) so severely. ....just stopped using it and my skin is already clearing up!!

broke me out severely
i had heard great things about this wash, so i decided to try it out myself. the morning after i first tried it i had many new breakouts and i figured it was due to y skin purging and not being used to this product, so i carried on use in hope of seeing better results but it only got worse. i discontinued use and use dettol antibacterial soap instead on my face (which seems crazy i know) which helped clear up any acne caused from this product (i have sensitive skin prone to break outs.) - i now use cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and so far so good!

Natural Solution
After going on Epiduo, my skin is very sensitive now and does not react well to many harsh cleansers. This one is very gentle on my skin and keeps it clean without drying it out. I love the smell, but it's not for everyone. I find that this cleanser makes my skin feel more clean and fresh if I leave it on my skin a bit longer before rinsing off (ie. 5 mins). It helps the skin feel clean and can reduce spots; however, it does not drastically clear the face of acne.

Works well without being too drying
Keeps my skin clear but Doesn't stop breakouts due to stress/ hormones. Smells good and Doesn't dry the skin out too much.

Pros:

good fragrance
lasts long

Cons:

does not work on all skin types
my light acne has turned into moderately severe since using the product
expensive
the sales women not adequately trained to advice on skin care issues
complaints redressal system is poor!

i had a very light acne problem.. In my greed to make my face acne free, i tried this product (cleanser, toner, lotion, scrub) since i was quite satisfied with the other body shop products. Since i started using it there has been more than three times increase in the acne! Since people usually advice that in the beginning there might be an outbreak which gradually goes down, i continued using this product for over three months. It has done absolute damage to my skin. Their customer care people are of the veiw that this could have been due to the humid weather! They havent been helpful at all concerning the seriousness of my problem! I have completely stopped using it! It has left many scars on my face.. I advice you to consult a dermatologist before using it.

Pros:

Feels great on skin
Helps to control acne
Great if used in conjunction with whole tea tree system.

Cons:

Does not get rid of all ace

I really love the tea tree line and am conitnuing to use this cleanser, the toner, the clearing lotion, and the spot treatment 2x daily. It feels great when your wash your face and takes off makeup very well. I have notice that it is helping to control my chin and forehead acne, but it is not a miracle treatment. I continue to have little things popping up but it is the first thing that really has made a difference, even after trying Doxycycline and Trentroitin. I just ordered the Clarisonic Mia so I will use this cleanser with that and see if it makes a difference. I definitely would say to try this item and see if it works for you. Sephora sells the a set with the full size cleanser and toner, and then the small lotion and spot treatment, for $29...... you can also get 8% back from sephora purchases if you sign up with ebates at [link removed]
