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:

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.

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.

Didn't work

I wish tea tree oil worked for me as it does for many others. The kit didnt prevent or remove breakouts. My acne worsened alot.

Cons:

none

i really like this facewash.it has cleared some of my acne but not all of it.the bottle is really big and it last a long time cuz it doesnt take a lot at all.it smells a lot like tea tree oil ,but i like the smell of it so it doesnt bother me but it could bother some people.i have sensitive skin and cetaphil even irritates me but this doesnt. i also got it on sale for 8 bucks.

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]

Pros:

Smells good
Feels good

Cons:

Drying
Too soapy

I saw this in an email. I had to try it because everyone says tea tree oil is good for the skin. It ended up feeling like a fancy soap for my hands rather than my face. Nice, but didn't work for me.

Pros:

-deep cleaning
-smells nice
-you dont need that much
-clears acne pretty well

Cons:

-your skin gets used to it so you have to switch cleansers every now and then.

this cleanser works pretty well. remember it brings everything to the surface, so if you break out a little after you first few days using it- its probably bringing up pimples that would of came up eventually anyway. pretty great cleanser!

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.
