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:
- I haven't noticed any difference in skin tone, I'm not sure if it evens skin tone or brightens
- They market the essence for troubled skin but I don't know, certainly it's not an acne treatment. I haven't noticed any difference in my acne.
- I think the bottle is a little annoying to use, the dropper is so tiny and awkward... the bottle is also very bottom heavy and I never quite know how to hold it, The Ordinary's bottles&droppers are definitely cheaper feeling but their shape is good
+ Absorbs fast
+ Couple of drops are enough for full face when face is damp, spreads so nicely and easily
+ Leaves face feeling silky smooth
+ Hydrates very well, I definitely notice a big difference when I skip this step. Comparable to TO's Buffet I was addicted to previously last summer! (In hydration aspect. Otherwise they are completely different products.)
+ Doesn't pill or do anything funny
+ Surprisingly soothing, calming after washing my face, doesn't make my face feel dry at all (as opposed to hyaluronic acid products)

+ Very very light, fresh smell, practically nothing
+ Bottle is so cute! Feels sturdy and well-made.
+ The essence bottle was packaged in plastic wrap inside the box, now that should be the standard for everything! I like the security of knowing that the product stays fresh and no one can tamper with it

* Color me impressed or some other weird phrase: LJH Tea Tree 90 Essence is really nice and I somewhat get the hype! I was curious and because I have good experiences with tea tree products before I cave in and bought it. And good I did.
* When I first time tried the essence, I really couldn't say anything about it. Now later constantly using it twice a day, straight to damp face after cleansing, I can appreciate it.
* I have been using the essence for a month and barely made a dent in the bottle. Quite good value after all even though the bottle is small!
* The essence is basically water like, clear liquid.
* Yeah, I'm interested in trying the LJH Tea Tree Cream as well! I was contemplating on buying it at the same time as essence but chickened out. Been looking at the propolis ampoule too but it's a bit expensive. Might cave in anyway.
* I originally thought that maybe this tea tree essence could replace The Body Shop's Tea Tree lotions, but now I realize they are very different things. Haven't felt any need to use/buy other tea tree products while using this essence, though. I have used diluted tea tree oil as spot treatment a couple of times.
* EDIT: For one week after the LJH TTO Essence ended, I didn't use any replacement and all was good... The second week, my skin felt slightly more dry and uncomfortable. Third week, I introduced a new essence: Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica 100 Ampoule. My skin felt hydrated (actually better than with LJH) but. Weeks 4&5 my skin has been acting up in strange ways! Bleh, maybe LJH Essence really works as some sort gentle acne repellent?!

Price:
$13.45 USD + $2.09 USD shipping / 50 ml
Bought from:
Rubyrubyshop
Buy again?
Maybe. I think it's a good, quiet support product, you might not even notice much difference when you use it (especially if it's only a couple of times here and there) but will miss it when it ends!
Worth the money?
Yes. Goes for many skin types as well, I think. Seems to last a lot longer than you would think. EDIT: The bottle lasted me about 3,5 months, used twice a day, 4 drops to a damp face at a time. Now that the bottle has ended I'm still pleased with the product.
