Best acne-fighting product i have came across yet
I understand it works differently for anyone, i have an extremely sensitive acne-prone combination skin (oily t-zone, dry forehead and cheeks). I have bought body shop tea tree set of wash+toner+lotion and this trio works magic. I have had especially bad acne from 14-18y.o., now I am 23 and i still get pimples very often, i have tried many products including high-end ones that end up costing 10 times as much and this is THE BEST i have tried. I use kiehl's "Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser", after body shop TT face wash, toner and lotion, and then go to bed. And i kid you not I could see the result already after the first day, it soothes all kinds of skin inflammation and redness including pimples without drying the skin out. First time, i used it before going to bed and when i woke up i couldn't believe how much redness was gone. I cannot tell anything about using this product only, but the combination of 3 is just awesome. I rarely write reviews but this one deserves it.

Best skin clearing product I've ever bought.
I have had acne since I was about 9, and so the last 8 years of my life I had been looking for something that would clear up my skin, such as proactiv, clean and clear, neutrogena, Vichy, and much more. Nothing seemed to work for me, and over the years my acne just got worse and worse. I have extremely oily skin, but everything that I used just dried my skin out so much it would peel, even with moisturizer. I bought the Tea Tree wash, toner, and skin clearing lotion (like the 3 step process from proactiv) and almost instantly my skin started getting better. I eventually got the night blemish fade lotion, face mask, bb cream, pore minimizer, and scrub and I can tell you that everything works amazing. It doesn't dry out my skin at all because of the lightweight mositurizer. I alternate between the scrub and the wash, tone my face, and in the morning I use the normal lotion and at night I use the blemish fade. Personally when I wear makeup (which isn't often) I notice my face breaks out more than normal because of clogged pores, but with the tea tree bb cream it has good coverage and doesn't affect my skin! The prices are slightly high, but the 3 step process is cheaper than proactiv and it lasts about 3 months if you use them twice a day. The mask lasts forever, considering it is a fairly big container and I use it once or twice a week. No, it obviously didn't make my acne disappear, but within the last 2 months it has worked better than anything I have ever tried before. My skin is smoother, cleaner, and less red. I was reccomended these products from a friend with sensitive combination skin, and she has been using the same thing for 2 years now and still is obsessed with it. Amazing line, will definitely be buying again and would reccomend the entire line of tea tree products to anyone with oily, combination, dry, or acne prone skin, especially people with cistic acne.

amazing
I have moderate to severe acne and it's terrible. I was worried about trying this facial wash since its made of natural ingredients (im used to using chemicals and stuff) but it works surprisingly well! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with dry skin, since it WILL dry out your face, but it's perfect for oily skin like mine. I use it with my Clarisonic MIA and it helps to clean the brush too, since tea tree oil is antibacterial. It doesn't smell great, but it becomes unnoticeable after using a bit. I had terrible acne and it cleared up a lot, but once I switched to a Clean & Clear face wash when this ran out, I broke out all over again! However, do NOT buy the toner. I have thick skin that is far from sensitive, but it causes terrible burns and stings (that aren't even on open pimples!) and it smells awful. Overall, I love this product!

Pros:

Smell isnt bad
All natural/organic
Nice and gentle

Cons:

A little drying

I have suffered from acne for a while now. I have used many products such as Cetaphil, etc. But this is now what i rely on! It is great because its so gentle on your skin and leaves your skin feeling nice. It has helped with blind pimples, spots etc. It drys your skin out a little but you should always be applying moisturizer anyways. Defiantly give it a go!

Pros:

Quick to work
not too girly of a smell; minty smelling
nice texture
not tested on animals. ever.

Cons:

drying

I love this stuff. I originally went in to the shop just for the oil as a spot treatment, but then I saw they had a full regime and I had to try it. I love The Body Shop's products, and now I can add this to the list! After one night my acne "problem spots" had really shrunken, I didn't have as many red spots, and my blackheads and pore look smaller. Never before have i found something this awesome! I actually got this little bag with the travel size was, toner, lotion and a full sized tea tree oil in it, and the lotion does wonders to balance out the dryness. It is rather potent. Best of all, this little kit was cheaper than a lot of other acne solutions, and yet it was so good, next time I think I'll get the full size bottles.

Best thing I've ever used.
I just want to begin this post by saying I've never reviewed anything before. I've struggled with moderate-severe acne for the past two years on and off. I've tried everything- salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, acne.org regimen (which definitely helped, but after I stopped using it two months later I broke out even worse) and even went to consult a dermatologist. When I saw them, I begged them not to prescribe me with a topical treatment that would burn out my skin. They gave me tretinoin and it did nothing but make my acne worse, I tried this for two months then decided to stop. I've researched so many things online, have tried supplements, vitamins, gummies, drinking collagen supplements that tasted absolutely disgusting-- anything that claimed it would help my acne. I finally came across the body shop's tea tree products and decided to try the 3 step gift set. It came with the facial wash, toner, and on the spot tea tree oil. On top of that, I also got the tea tree anti-imperfection serum as well. I've always been a huge advocate for tea tree oil in helping acne, and when I took those few months off of tea tree, I realized I should've never stopped. This product SAVED MY LIFE. Within 5 days, my skin was so extremely smooth and no new zits were forming. I bought the anti-imperfection serum as well for my acne scars, and I'm so happy I did. i thought they would never go away, but after two weeks of using that product they're almost completely gone. I am so blessed to find this product, believe me when I say I've tried absolutely everything in the book and I can't believe it's been two years and I finally came across this product. Give it time if it's not working for you, tea tree oil is the absolute best fighter against acne.

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.
