Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Blemish Stick

I dont put much faith in blemish sticks (I'm usually a bit of a cheapo and naughtily just use toothpaste :p) but this product has opened my mind a little bit to the idea of paying for something like this. On every blemish I put this product on, it would definitely reduce the redness/swelling. Blemishes would take two days at the most to completely disappear. For me The most appealing aspect of the blemish stick is its use of completely natural ingredients! Would definitely use this again - really effective and literally have no complaints. The only thing is that you would probably not be able to use this during the day because it is quite a shiny/sticky looking and quite obvious on your skin.

This product had a sponge applicator which was great for treating individual spots without having to use your fingers and transferring more bacteria to the source.

The smell of Tea Tree Oil is quite strong as it was through the entire range of products, however the name indicates as such so users shouldn't be too surprised when purchasing the items.

Overall the results were good. It was quite cooling on the skin on initial application and didn't irritate or aggravate the spots (thank goodness).

I wouldn't exactly call this product a miracle treatment however it did help sooth sore spots and with persistent application it did help reduce spots within a few days, but when you have a large cluster breakout it didn't seem that effective, and using it on a lot of spots felt quite unhygenic.

I didn't see any noticeable change to my skin at all from using this. It wasn't a whole lot different to other products i've tried. It didn't cause me to break out or anything but it didn't make any changes to the blemishes on my skin unfortunately

I liked the applicator on this product, it made it really easy to apply to specific blemishes. This went on quite cold, and had an almost sticky texture. It felt cooling and soothing on my skin when I put it on, but overall, did little to improve my blemishes. I really liked the smell, and would rate it more highly than the Thursday Plantation Gel as it did dry my blemishes out slightly more. Although I enjoyed using, and would like to continue using organic ingredients, I probably wouldn't buy this product again as I did not find it as effective as medicated products on my acne.

First off, I couldn't make out any difference between this product and the Tea Tree Medicated Blemish Gel, I honestly think this is the same product just easier to pop in your handbag for on the go application. I applied to the really bad blemishes I had on my face, but I can't say that it did anything drastic. I do like that it's an invisible gel that absorbs/drys very quickly, and the container is great for applying it without touching your face with your fingers.

I use this product on blemishes that are larger or sore and need some extra attention, and it helps to reduce their appearance overnight. This is great when I need a pimple cleared up by the weekend! It reduces the longevity of the pimple, and if applied early enough, it can prevent it from getting to the point where it's a mountain on your face! In saying that, this product is not a miracle worker! You have to apply it quite frequently to the affected area for a couple of days until you see a difference. But it's still a great product, and combined with the rest of the Thursday Plantation range, it's great at fighting acne. It also comes in a tube with a wand applicator which is easy to use, and you don't have to get any on your fingers!

This blemish stick was very effective. It eradicated every pimple I applied the gel to, and very quickly as well. It smelt nice, and didn't sting. Because it was so effective, there was no need to carry it around, but it does come in a convenient small tube, which would fit easily into any bag. The wand of the blemish stick made application simple, except it does not seem very hygienic to use the same wand and place it back into the tube with the product. The tip has gotten a bit murky from use which could mean that this product may need to be thrown out and/or replaced before the gel has been all used up.

I love the applicator stick. At first I thought I would cross contaminate, ie you have just wiped it across a blemish and you put it back in the tube?? But it turns out it was ok You can never be scientific about if something like this is making a difference but I think blemishes were halted in their tracks, ie didn't get any worse, and probably cleared up faster than usual.

Im not sure what the difference is between this and the medicated gel in the tube is, but I used this one in the morning before I put on my make-up & it seemed to cap any blemishes so that the makeup didn't flake or cake on top of any dryness. But at the same time it helped to clear up the blemishes really quick which I found AWESOME!! I want more :-)

I have had acne for the last 20 or so years, and I'm now in my forties and still struggling with it. I was very excited to be chosen for the acne trial to see if this could be the product range for me. Sadly after using it for 2 weeks, my skin had broken out so badly, the worst it has been in years, that I stopped using the products.It irritated my skin so much that I am still breaking out. However I will review how I found the products.

This product had a wand , which you dip in and out of the little container, which really made me wonder about cross contamination! I didn't find it made any difference when applying it to my acne, the spots lasted just as long when I applied it and when I didn't. It just wasn't strong enough for my condition. It had a strong tea tree smell, like all the other products. I also found that after I had used it for a while, there was lots of product in the container, but I couldn't quite get to it with the wand, so a lot would be wasted. Overall I don't think this product worked for me, maybe it might good be for those that have the odd pimple rather than acne which seems harder to get rid of.
