Like most of the health and beauty products I have discovered over the years, this little gem was introduced to me by my sister. She informed me that she had mainly used it to make sure all her make up was off, but that it could help clear up my skin a bit.

Ever since I was 13 i've had a few issues with spots. I'm 21 now, and the problem has improved a lot with age but I still get them. This product is sold at around £5 for a 250ml bottle but is usually on offer with the other tea tree products in a 3 for 2 deal. The ingredients include tea tree oil, lemon tea tree oil,white willow bark and tamanu oil. The toner is bright green in colour and, like all body shop products is not tested on animals. It claims to be suitable for blemished skin and to sweep away impurities for clearer looking skin.

The instructions tell you to shake to activate and apply to face and neck using a cotton wool pad. The first thing you notice is the smell. If you've used tea tree products before you will be familiar with it, but I hadn't. The smell isn't necessarily unpleasant, it's just quite strong but i've grown to quite like it.

On application the product does sting slightly, but this didn't bother me as I guessed that meant something was happening. It left my skin feeling very clean and refreshed with a matte look to it. After using it for a couple of weeks I really did did notice differences. I was getting fewer blackheads and spots and my skin was looking much healthier. I tended to get quite bad shaving rash as well, this has also improved. However I wouldn't recommend applying the product straight after shaving as it will sting considerably. The 250ml bottle I bought lasted 5 weeks, after normally using it a couple of times a day.

Definitely a product worth buying, doesn't work miracles but has lead to noticeable improvements.
