Body Shop Tea Tree Oil

Given Description:

Best if you want to: Combat and soothe the first signs of a blemish with a natural, targeted treatment that you can dab onto your skin.

How it works:

Triple-action organic Community Trade tea tree oil, which is naturally antiseptic and soothing, controls oil, combats existing blemishes and prevents new ones without over-drying skin.
Pre-blended formulation contains pure tea tree oil diluted to 15%.
Tea tree oil has been used for centuries for its soothing and refreshing antiseptic properties.

I'm sure this is just pure tea tree oil without any other plant extracts or whatever because it certainly smells like pure tea tree oil. I guess this would be considered rather smelly by those who do not like the scent of tea tree oil, but it smells totally fine to me.


One thing i must commend about this product is it's child safety lock. The cap has to be pushed down to be able to turn it. I realised it's mostly products containing tea tree oil that have a child safety lock, so i guess it must be really fatal when ingested? I don't know about that. Just don't try to drink it please.



The mouth of this product is not very large. You may not be able to tell from the picture, but when you unscrew it, there is this tiny tube there from which the product comes out. It's not a very large opening, which is good because every drop is precious. The bottle is only about 10 ml, so really every drop makes a difference.
Because it is only 10ml, and if you have a lot of blemishes, you will find that you use this product up pretty quickly.




The tiny opening makes it easy to apply this product. I normally drop one or two drops onto a small bit of cotton wool and dab the tea tree oil onto my blemishes this way. It's not advisable to use tissue paper, because the tissue will just absorb the tea tree oil and not leave any for you to dab onto your blemishes, which is a huge waste. The tea tree oil might sting a little at first, but you'll get used to it.



After using this, i found my pimples reduced significantly in size and gradually just disappeared. However i would advise you not to apply this product on any other part of your face, because it is VERY drying. Let me just warn you about that. It is supposed to dry up your pimples so when you put it on spots that do not have pimples, you're gonna have really dry skin.




You can get this at Bodyshop shops at i think $14 SGD? I'm not very sure but i know it's definitely less than $20. Try not to spill any, because this bottle contains very little only.
