I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- Neither of the lotions really moisturize or hydrate
- Mattifying day lotion actually makes skin feel quite dry
- They can't be used on their own
- They cause a little tingling on the skin, I have thought that it's because of tea tree?
- Because of tingling, they can't be used after exfoliating or treatments, or it feels like they burn the skin for about 10 minutes
- They both cause massive pilling, horrible under makeup and uncomfortable so they need another cream on top of them to balance it
+ I think my skin likes tea tree: these lotions really do help with sebum and shine
+ They do make pores look smaller, it was more noticeable before when I didn't target the pores with so many products
+ They help with keeping my skin more clear as well, I think I started to have less blemishes when I incorporated these
+ They dry fast
+ They are very light

* The Night Lotion is definitely better and more moisturizing
* They smell of tea tree a bit, someone likes the smell, someone doesn't - I don't mind, better than grandma fragrance
* I have just ordered LJH's Tea Tree Essence that everyone has been raving about, I wonder if it replaces other tea tree products in my routine!
* I'm glad I came upon tea tree products as I think my skin really likes them

Tea Tree Night Lotion:
Bought from:
The Body Shop stores, webstore, got as gifts...
Buy again?
No to Mattifying Lotion, maybe to Night Lotion.
Worth the money?
I think yes, quite expensive still, but both did improve my skin. I'm cringing a bit at the price of night lotion, even though it's the better one. So the price quality ratio is a real question here. That's why I'm hoping LJH Essence would work for me (50 ml for USD 15.50 including shipping). So maybe they are quite not worth the money they cost because I want to find alternatives.
