  Pros

  It's cheap and the quantity is generous...And I bought it because of the image of a company that makes functional products at reasonable prices. It would be good to use on back or chest acne as well.

  Cons

  Is it because of the polysorbate? Or the tea tree? After applying it, it wasn't stinging, but my face turned red and I had a seborrheic dermatitis reaction, an eczema reaction. If it weren't for the phenoxyethanol, the other ingredients seem fine, but I guess the manufacturing side has to meet the low price point. However, for people with very sensitive skin, using multiple products with these kinds of ingredients overlapping, or using products with these ingredients long-term, may not be the best idea.

  Tip

  I'll try using it as a spot treatment, and also on my chest and back.

  Pros

  I first bought this cream 3 years ago when I was struggling with adult acne, and I've been using it ever since. Now, I tend to get breakouts around my menstrual cycle, and whenever that happens, I slather on this cream generously before bed. By the next day, my skin has calmed down significantly. This cream seems to have a great antibacterial effect, and I haven't found anything else that's as effective in suppressing my acne. If a particularly stubborn cystic pimple pops up, I apply an extra layer of the cream just to that spot before sleeping, and it really helps to bring it down. This is the cream I always reach for, even in the hot, oily summer months! If your skin agrees well with tea tree oil, I'd highly recommend this product. Oh, and the scent is just lovely - I personally adore the earthy, herbal tea tree aroma, but if you're not a fan of strong scents, you may not enjoy it.

  Cons

  The absorption can be a bit slow, so I only use this at night. If you have dry skin, you may find it a little drying - in that case, mixing it with an oil can help. Since I order this online, I sometimes run out and have to wait for the next shipment, which can be frustrating. That's why I always make sure to stock up and have a backup on hand. If tea tree oil doesn't agree with your skin, this cream can cause stinging and irritation. A friend of mine with very sensitive skin tried it and had to wash it off right away because it felt so uncomfortable.

  Tip

  When my acne is really acting up, I like to apply this cream generously and then top it with a modeling pack. That helps the cream really sink in and has a very soothing, calming effect. The results are usually visible the next day. In the winter, I find this cream can be a bit drying on its own, so I mix it with rosehip oil or jojoba oil. That way, I still get the acne-fighting benefits, but my skin stays nicely hydrated.
