ProsThe Face Shop Tea Tree Pore Clarifying Gel Cleanser is a gem! It produces rich lather, and you only need a small amount for a thorough cleanse. While it's not completely fragrance-free, the scent isn't overpowering or off-putting. It's described as woody, but it's not that intense aroma you'd get from a diffuser - it's more of a subtle scent you'd only notice if you deliberately sniff it. Being a gel, you can easily control how much you use. I felt it really nailed its job as a cleanser. After washing, my skin feels squeaky clean. I have dry, super sensitive skin, especially on my face. Usually, stronger products cause a burning sensation and immediate blemishes. However, I decided to test this by leaving the foam on for about 10 minutes, and surprisingly, there was no discomfort or irritation at all. The product is so hydrating that even without applying an emulsion after cleansing, there's no feeling of deep dryness. As you can see in the photo, I've used quite a bit already, and I'm extremely satisfied with it.
ConsInitially, to check how much foam it produces, I used more than my usual amount. Perhaps due to its high moisture content, it took a bit longer to rinse off completely.
TipAs a man who doesn't wear makeup, I don't typically use large amounts of cleanser. With this product, about two-thirds of my usual amount is sufficient. I've found it works well to leave the cleansing foam on for a while before rinsing to ensure adequate hydration.
