The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Body Wash – Daily Wash for Clearer Looking Skin – For Oily, Blemished Skin – 8.4 oz

I have had painful and unsightly hormonal breakouts on my back and shoulders since I was 24 (I just turned 29) and after trying a ton of different products, finally I thought "Hey, I use tea tree oil for everything else, maybe it'll work." So I searched all over the site and found several, but this sounded the best, so I got the body gel and the toner along with Phisoderm for blemished skin that balances your skin's PH levels (important for any troubled skin treatment) and after the first shower (this first on a body brushing tool, then this again on a loofah, then the Phisoderm with a terrycloth very thoroughly and then the toner on my shoulders and back right before my pores closed) I couldn't believe it...although I had to as there was tangible proof. The large, under the skin bumps weren't as inflamed and didn't really hurt, the medium ones were smaller, and the small bumps were in that state where you know it will be gone in a day or two. I love the scent, as it actually smalls like tea tree oil, which to me smells like cleanliness and being pathogen-free lol This was just my experience, I don't think it would be the same for everyone, I think I just got exactly what my body needed, which was PH balance and anti-bacterial that wasn't harsh and was mostly natural, which is what I prefer anyway. I will never use other domestic products for my face though; I have VERY sensitive skin. Most products contain harsh ingredients like benzoyl peroxide...I'd left my Porefinist Cleansing Oil and Foaming Cleanser in my other bathroom, didn't own this yet, and found an a tube of ********** cleanser so I used that...that stuff burned half of my face HORRIBLY and left it raw and almost bloody red and left the rest painfully sensitive. My entire face was a pulsing centre of suffering because I had started using Shara Shara's Sake and Ceramide Night and Day Routine Set that is effective, mild and very gentle as a toner, lotion, and face cream set. Two or three weeks after I started using it (monthly breakout; the set actually cleared up any tint blemish I had) I had a horrible facial breakout and at that point didn't have the products I do now and I used a very popular brand I won't name's Extra Strength Oil Control Facewash...my sebum production was noticably reduced, as was a chemical burn so horrid I had to use green tea sheet masks and keep aloe serum with Plant-Water gel-cream moisturizer on at all times. P.S- To anyone interested in alternative, non-drugstore brand natural products for facial skin: For facial breakouts which are mild and only for a few days a month like mine, this, I use a spot treatment; generally use a Bee Venom and Propolis with Mucin spot treatment over a fully dried and patted in tea tree and eucalyptus essence, pink clay with tea tree and a few other super effective natural ingredients when that dries, and if I get a really large blemish, I use the pink clay with tea tree oil clay pack and the next day the blemish has shrunk and lost so much redness that it isn't even visible. I use SNP's, it's a miracle worker. Also you can us this toner alone, have a mix of a bit with clay or cornstach and use it as a pack on blemishes and you'll get nearly the same results as far as the swelling going down and the redness subsiding. On smaller bumps it will also get rid of them.

Smells fresh. Gel/liquid form. I have under arm odor because of stress sweat and anxiety. When I use this it gets rid of the odor. But I have to either scrub my pits with a loufa or washcloth for the best result. It is not what I wanted though. I want this with an exfoliant of some sort so I don't need to use a loufa. Loufas are balls of bacteria. And I get acne easily because my skin is so sensitive. I wanted to use something like this with a natural tough exfoliant but this is just a gel. I haven't found anyone product to use for my problem so the search is still on! Good cleanser though if used with a loufa. :) I gave 5 stars because for what it is its a great product and smells the best. Smells like a dark forest of water and green plants.

I love this product so much. I’ve been using it for 6 months now and my back acne is an issue of the past. If I stop using for a week I’ll start to get break outs again, but with regular use it is incredible. When I first started my back was really bad so I used it morning and evening for the first week or two and instantly saw results within a few days. I haven’t tried other products because this has been so successful. The scent is fine, nothing special but not unflattering at all. I’ve seen other reviews mention that it doesn’t ‘suds up’ or lather well - which is true if you try to use it with a traditional wash cloth or loofah + you’ll need to use more with these and go through the product quickly. However, using it with a rubber body brush it will lather instantly so you can use only a small amount and it will cover a large area of skin (attached a picture to show what type of product I’m talking about). I got one on the target discount rack once for under $5, and since using the body scrubber with this product an 8oz container will last 3 months even with daily use. Hope this helps!!

Due to psoriasis breakouts I use gentle bath washes with either sea kelp or tea tree oil. This is a very good wash, it is cool to the skin, lathers up nicely and rises off clean leaving skin nice and smooth. Only issue (and not one tat would prevent me for using it in the future) is it is a bit strong on the tea tree oil smell. Once you are rinsed off the smell does not linger but the traetment does. Will continue to use and would recommend.

I had brain surgery which was a bit of a crazy recovery. No one mentioned I'd get a sweat rash that is actually acne in the process. I had it on my chest, shoulders, down the top of my arms, the top of my back and started to go down my stomach. My face, (And on my BUTT!). I used to battle acne but being 29 it started to clear up. Not so much anymore I was devastated. Nothing worked. So I ripped the bandaid off and took a chance on this and spent the extra cash and omg it works! It does take time so don't let it discourage you. It's not magic but it is a treatment. I had ordered their face scrub and toner and was very happy with those too. It lasts about 3 months or so. Great product! Delivered in a timely fashion as well.

I love this product!! I use it every time I shower, and I can see the difference! I have really sensitive skin, so finding a body wash that doesn't create issues is a challenge, let alone one that actually helps, is nearly impossible. However, this is the product, and it works! I had issues with my chest, back, and arms breaking out, but after using this, I only tend to breakout when my hormones spike. Definitely worth the purchase!!

Ok, so I got this in the mail recently and I just used it for the first time in the shower today. I'm going to update this review after 2 weeks or so once I see how this does more long term, but I wanted to post my initial reactions to the product. I am a 25 year old female who has suffered from back/shoulder acne since middle school. I used to use Proactiv body wash, and that worked just ok. It worked pretty well if I showered twice a day (which was the recommendation when I bought the product), but who really showers twice a day? It was kind of unrealistic for me. When I was younger I had used a couple different body acne washes, like a Neutrogena one, however I found those to be too drying. So I used the Proactive wash on an off during college and in my adult life, but for the past couple of years I have just used my regular body wash, praying my breakouts would calm down and become manageable. That basically did happen, especially during the summer when I'm able to get some sun, etc. However, for the past 6 months or so my acne has seemed to get worse so I was looking for a body wash product to help with that. After reading many reviews about this body wash, I decided to give it a go because I know tea tree oil does good stuff- I once used tea tree shampoo for dandruff when I was younger. As you can see above I gave it 3 stars, but really it's more like 3.5. Like others have said, this body wash does not lather. I used it with a body loofah because I wanted some exfoliation as well, and there was really no lather. It's a bit disconcerting when you're showering like that, because it's difficult to tell if it's actually going on your skin, or if the loofah is sucking it all up, etc. I'm going to use it on a shower poof tomorrow and see how that works out. Many people have commented on the smell. I won't lie, the smell is strong. Like I said above, I have used Tea Tree products before but this one is much more pungent than anything else I've used. All you smell is tea tree. If you are very opposed to that smell, I don't recommend this as I don't know how you would stomach it. So overall it's not a bad smell if you're ok with tea tree to begin with, I'd say. I was worried I would smell like tea tree all day, but when I asked my husband he said he didn't even notice a different smell in the bathroom, so I don't think it will stick with you too much if you're worried about that. It washed off cleanly, which is another thing I was looking for. I have very soft water at my house and sometimes soaps feel like they leave a residue, but I thought this body wash rinsed off well so I was pleased by that. The bottle is small, so I'm not sure how long it's going to last. But, if it's a product that works, that doesn't bother me too much. I will order more. When I bought this body wash, I also ordered the tea tree toner that The Body Shop offers, so I applied that to my skin after my shower. Many people recommended using these two items together, so I am giving it a try. The toner worked great, IMO. It definitely got off a lot more dirt from my skin and pores so I was pleased with that. It has been a few hours since my shower, and I have very oily skin generally, yet my skin is still not oily yet, so I think it has helped with that. Both products really seem to have also helped clean out the pores on my chest as well, which I have always had a problem with as I have very large pores there. Overall I like this body wash and toner combination well enough. I still don't like that it doesn't suds up, but like I said, maybe the body poof will work better. My skin is also pretty sensitive, and I have had no reaction from this yet today so if you're worried about that, I think you would be good to go. After a couple weeks I will update this with how the Body Wash is doing for my back and body acne overall.

To be honest, I don't know if this body wash has tea tree oil in it or not; or if it's even enough to be effective. The addition of Tea Tree Oil is specifically why I bought this product. The scent isn't bad (could be more pronounced) and it lathers nicely. I like that it's vegan and not tested on animals, but I do wish the percentage for ingredients were included. It would be great if the bottle came in a larger size and had a pump. I also question the $8.00 price hike over night. I give it three stars but I think we can do better for the price.
