Instead, it felt smooth, as if a thin film had formed, similar to slightly acidic products.
ConsI've been going to a dermatologist for extraction of closed comedones and was in the maintenance phase. Except for a few tiny bumps, my skin was fine until the day before yesterday. Sigh... I've only used this for two days (morning and evening), and it's not even an emulsion-type product, just a cleanser. Yet, I've developed what seems like the beginning of pustular acne on my forehead - hard, wide, and inflamed under the skin. One blemish appeared yesterday, and another this morning, so I don't think I can continue using this. I've never reacted well to tea tree ingredients. Other tea tree cleanser samples made my skin too dry and itchy, so I didn't buy them. During puberty, I tried some tea tree product, but it was too harsh for me, so I eventually switched. I was using Amber Farm Salt Wash well, but when it was out of stock before renewal, I panicked and decided to try this product, which is said to be good for acne. Now I really regret it - it's twice as expensive too. There were no samples, so I opened the full-size product, and now I probably can't return it. I'm not someone who completely avoids chemical ingredients. I use products with caution ingredients if they suit me, but this one... I can't tell if it's because of the tea tree or the BHA, or both. Even the green Stridex was too harsh for my face, but it works well on my chest and arms for reducing bumps and blemishes. The phenoxyethanol also concerns me, as my skin reacts sensitively to products with ethanol and alcohol ingredients. Anyway, if you're considering buying this, please think carefully. I'm so stressed about my forehead now. It's only affecting my forehead, so I'm wondering if I should use it everywhere else except there.
TipUse only a small amount and lather it with wet hands... However, be prepared for potential blemishes. If it suits you, use it, but if not...

The scent is pleasantly clinical, and I love that it's a gel type. I can definitely see a reduction in sebum buildup after use. I switched to this from Stridex because it was too harsh, and I haven't experienced any redness or skin irritation with this one. It's working well for me. Even though it's the same 0.5% BHA, this one seems to suit me better for some reason. It's so convenient - no need for cleansing oil or cleansing water, this removes all my makeup in one go. It's less irritating than double cleansing too, which is great!
ConsIt feels a bit strong, so I'm using it only two or three times a week. I'm gradually increasing usage. It doesn't visibly eliminate blemishes right away, but it seems good for managing dead skin cells. People with resilient skin might be able to use it daily.
