The Body Shop Tea Tree Targeted Gel 2,5 ml Review


Ingredients:


Aqua/Water/Eau, Alcohol Denat, Glycerin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Mel/Honey/Miel, Salix Alba Bark Extract/ Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil/Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Carbomer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Limonene, Citral, Citronellol, Denatonium Benzoate, Leptospermum Petersonii Oil, Tocopherol.

I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...



Thoughts:


Didn't really make any difference whether I used the stick or not. Did not help the spots to heal and did not prevent them, really.

Expensive as hell if you look at the price per ml.

Not really hygienic to use the applicator straight on skin.



Pleasant clear light gel liquid, doesn't make a mess, dries quickly.

Also pleasant light tea tree smell. Not pleasant if you don't like tea tree though.



* Yet another The Body Shop tea tree product I got some time ago in a gift set. I actually used it a long time ago... or tried to use it... just now found the stick again. I guess I didn't dare to throw it away, thinking I still might use it later. Or something.



Price: 

11,90 €

Bought from: 

Got as a gift

Buy again? 

No.

Worth the money? 

No. Yet another thing that didn't do anything for me. Didn't make things better or worse. Very expensive as well! The tube is only 2,5 ml! That means the liquid costs 476 € per 100 ml! And even if one stick costs "only" 11,90 €, think about all the other acne treatments you could get instead of this stick. Well, the stick form and gel consistency are handy, when you don't want the product to spread all over the face. Still, spot treating with tea tree oil + squalane is a lot more effective.
