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 The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner, 8.4-Fluid Ounce , then use The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion, 1.69 Fluid Ounces as well as a tiny bit of The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion, 1.0 Fluid Ounces , and finish with a homemade mixture of coconut oil and NOW Foods Lavender & Tea Tree Oil, 1 ounce. I put the coconut, lavender, and tea tree oil mixture on any breakouts or inflamed areas, but not all over my face. It’s kind of an extensive regimen, but it works better than anything I’ve ever tried. I am wearing less concealer, foundation, and powder than I ever have. My skin is less red, I have fewer breakouts, and fewer scars. I’m so much more comfortable with my skin and I owe it all to tea tree oil.
