Key Ingredients

• Anti-acne : Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil

• Antioxidant : Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil

• Exfoliant : Betaine Salicylate

• Soothing : Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Allantoin

Scent + Texture

Very mild or nearly no scent. The cleanser is clear with a gel texture and produces a light lather.

* Some users have reported a strong tea tree oil scent. I may have received a batch with a more subtle fragrance, so please keep this in mind if you’re sensitive to scents.

Performance

Cleanses effectively, though it can leave the skin feeling slightly tight once dry, especially when compared to oil cleansers or ultra-gentle options like Cetaphil. This isn’t a major issue if you follow up with toner. It’s non-irritating, doesn’t cause breakouts, and performs well as a basic, pH-balanced cleanser.

Areas for Improvement

None noted yet.

Tips for Use

A little goes a long way, I use about a pea-sized amount for my entire face. For better lather, start by rubbing the product onto your eyebrows as they work surprisingly well to build foam!. Then spread it across the rest of your face.
