Advantages: Cheap, nice smell, does the job, only natural ingredients
Disadvantages: Over-dries skin, doesn't get rid of spots completely
~~~SCENARIO~~~
I popped into Boots the other day to browse at the fantastic array of products and suddenly had an epiphany that my normal neutrogena face wash had run out! I had to restock - and fast!
I requested the assistance of a helpful employee since there were so many face wash products and I wanted something natural and effect and Lo, behold! I was fervently advised to buy Boots Tea Tree + Witchhazel Foaming Face Wash and did.
~~~APPEARANCE~~~
The entire cylindrical 150ml bottle is made from sturdy clear plastic, this is great since I can actually see the product which is the slightly emerald green clear liquid with a thin layer of bubbles on the surface. I really like products where I can actually see the main item so this really hit the spot.
The labeling is very simple, on the face of bottle I am told that the face wash "deeply cleanses and refreshes+helps keep skin clear and healthy." The simplicity really works as it makes it seem as a natural product which I believe it is.
At the top is a dispensing pump which is quite large and made out of smooth opaque plastic, there is also a lid which sits snugly on top.
~~~FURTHER INFORMATION~~~
At the back, I am told the reasons that the product keeps skin clear and healthy as follows (found on the back of the bottle):
-Deep cleansing your skin of dirt, oil and make-up without over-drying
-Fight spot-causing bacterial and helping to unblock pores
-Toning your skin and leaving it feeling extra clean
~~~HOW TO USE~~~
Using this product is very simple:
-Firstly wet your face and dispense two pockets of foam into your palm.
-Message onto your face and then rinse off with warm water.
You are advised to use every morning and evening and follow with the shine control day moisturizer. This is typical Boots advertising which is slightly annoying!
~~~PERSONAL OPINION~~~
This product does what it says on the tin, I was amazed when I pressed the dispenser that the green liquid magically turned into a heap of foam, this really impressed me.
The smell of the product is very antiseptic and slightly clinical, it is quite sweetly spicy because of the tea tree but is very refreshing. I love this smell as it really invigorates you on those lazy mornings.
The face wash completely gets rid of any nasty oil on your face and leaves your skin feeling soft, clean and calm (a bit like cucumber). However I would say that I did find that my skin was over dry like the feeling when you wash your hands with fairy liquid...
Albeit, one bottle seems to last for ages - about 6 weeks which is great when it is only £1.49 - a sound investment. I have observed a slight reduction in the number of spots on my face which is good but definitely not astounding.
Overall a great natural product well worth trying - put on those boots and get down to Boots!
