Tea tree oil acne beauty products worth buying

So you want to buy tea tree oil products?

There are lots of products containing Australian Tea tree oil for acne, as this oil it’s becoming more known.

But, which are really worth buying?

In this list, I will try to provide you with some recommendations and reviews about the best beauty products using organic Tea Tree oil that really do work when treating acne, pimples, back acne and oily skin.

 

Toner:

Tea Tree Water Toner by LUSH

Very mild and very refreshing, removes the last traces of makeup which haven’t been removed through wipes. Helps keep your skin clean. It doesn't sting, burn or dry out your skin. I use it to refresh my face mid-day, or to set my makeup if I'm feeling powdery.

It feels amazing when you spray it on. It’s a great toner for oily and acne prone skin. Does not irritate your skin and makes it feel fresh and hydrated.

 

Soap:

Dr. Bronner Tea Tree Oil Organic Soap (bar and liquid versions)

Great for acne and body acne,  just make sure - unless you have very oily skin - to moisturize afterwards. Keeps pores truly clear, my skin is a lot smoother after rinsing and the scent does not linger (which is good, cause the scent is not so great).

 

Treatment:

Body Shop Pure Tea Tree Oil Blemish Fade Night Lotion

It's not a miracle product but it really works! It comes in a pump bottle (very sanitary) and it leaves your skin feeling really matte and smooth. I don't think it matters if you use it during the day or night. It’s really easily absorbed, moisturizing - but non-greasy at all. Recommended for oily skin. Keeps away little breakouts.

 

Face Wash:

Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Foaming Face Wash

Surprise: the smell of mold and must will be vanished, too, and won’t come back as long as the source of moisture has been removed.
