Advantages: Soothes blemishes and redness

Disadvantages: Too drying on cheeks and 'normal' skin types, Takes ages to dry and doesn't peel-off at all, Very messy, clogged up the tube, fingers and everything

I've tried this a couple of times, but I'm not impressed at all. I kept trying various techniques to apply and remove but it just created so much mess I have now given up!

First of all it has an odd smell - I know tea tree does smell strange, but surely not as strange as this! And the colour is practically glow-in-the-dark which surely can't be that 'natural'?!

Getting it out of the tube was a hassle... it came out in globules and clogged up the nozzle and cap and was very difficult to smooth onto the skin - I couldn't get even coverage even with a spatula which also got clogged up.

This was very sticky and took an age to dry, when it did start to dry my skin felt taught and dry - it was very uncomfortable and I started to pick off the edges which had dried out, but had to leave the big gloopy bits dotted around my cheeks and forehead. (NB: this should be a 'pick off mask' not 'peel-off' like the name suggests!)

However, once removed I did noticed that blemishes were soothed along with some areas of redness, but my cheeks were left very dry. Probably best to use this on the oily areas only.

All in all this was too messy to use regularly and I didn't feel it truly belonged in the 'Naturals' range due to the colour and smell - a bit too manufactured I think. A real shame, because the rest of the Avon Tea Tree range is really good.
