Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Cream

Okay, so I trialed this product along with the rest of Thursday plantation's skin care line. And this is hands down the gem of it! If you have bad acne, definitely give this a try. It's non comodegenic, which means it WILL NOT clog your pores. I used to have to use many other oil free, non comodegenic moisturisers because I get the craziest break outs otherwise. This moisturiser can be slathered on (although you need quite a small amount for your face - will last you ages) without worry. Also kept my skin soft and supple without ANY oiliness, something I've Never been able to rectify with moisturisers! It smells refreshing, is completely worry/guilt free to use, and 100% will be using this again.

Age: 16, Skin Type: Moderate to Bad Acne.

This face cream really because a necessity whilst using the range as some of the products really dried out my skin, and as this product is quite thick it helped hydrate my skin but I couldn't use it under foundation because 1. It was quite strong smelling and would make me feel a bit nauseous throughout the day and 2. It was quite heavy and you really need to give it time to absorb fully before you can apply any makeup. It became more of a night cream. It did make my skin feel soft and hydrated, but it almost felt like it's only purpose is to combat the severe dryness caused by the medicated gel.

This cream is a great moisturiser. It doesn't feel heavy or oily on my skin, and when I apply it before bed, I wake up with smooth soft skin! It doesn't apply thickly and can be smoothed easily over your entire face and is good my my sensitive skin as it doesn't irritate me anywhere, not even around my eyes. The smell is mild and not too overpowering, and it is in a small little tub that is convenient to carry around. The container, as it doesn't squeeze the product out, would also allow for me to get every last drop out easily. I would definitely repurchase this!

This face cream had a rather thick texture when applying it, which I personally did not enjoy. It felt quite thick while on the skin, although never felt oily which was a bonus. Although I personally like a lighter moisturiser, this would be well suited to someone with combination/oily skin who likes to use quite a heavy face cream as it won't make you break out. I was happy that while using this product, my skin actually became less oily overall. However, I was not a fan of the strong tea tree scent.

I actually really liked this face cream, I was expecting it to lack moisture but it made my face feel soft and hydrated. It also absorbed into my skin really quickly and didn't leave it feeling greasy. I don't like the smell of tea tree but this did have a mild smell to it after applied, although I did seem to be oblivious to it after 15 odd minutes.

When I first saw this product, I was slightly worried as it has a very thick consistency and many moisturisers/face creams I have tried have clogged my pores and made me break out. I'm pleased to say this one doesn't! I tried wearing this during the day under makeup, and it does feel a bit heavy, so I'll usually put it on at night before bed. In the morning, my skin feels great, although as a standalone product, it doesn't really do much for acne. I think its a product you'll need to use along with the rest of the range. Acne products tend to contain ingredients that dry out your skin, but this face cream prevents this from happening. In saying that, I do find that I don't use this product every day as I have quite oily skin, so its not a necessity for me.

Lightly fragranced and light to touch. I'm an Olay girl usually and in comparison this felt "thin" like blue top vs skim milk. I doubted it would be enough on my old skin but it was in combo with eye cream. I tried it under make up a few times and it was ok but because it doesn't have any sun screen I stopped using it during the day

I was a little disappointed with this product and unfortunately i have almost the whole pottle left. I used it for the first week and just found that after using the cleanser and toner that it made my skin so greasy that if i put make up on over it then it just melted off after a couple of hours. If I didn't put make up on, I'd still have to wipe the shine & greasiness off during the day. So I stopped using the face cream but continued using all the other products and it was perfect after that. I did use varying amounts of the face cream to gauge it, but no matter if I just used a pea size or a 10c size, it still did the same thing :-(

Im on the fence about this product, while I did like the fact it hydrated my skin, often after I washed my skin it would end up very dry and left feeling tight. So giving it a little bit of moisture was nice, but really that is all I could say it did. It was just a moisturizer and a simple one at that, after about 10minutes my face was left feeling dry again and i'd have to apply my usual moisturizer to re-hydrate my skin. The product itself was pretty messy as well, you have to stick your fingers inside the tub in order to get the product which to me seems pretty unhygienic. My skin unfortunately hasnt improved, I still have bad acne over my chest and clusters on my face. So overall I would not recommend this product as you can get a far better moisturizer.

Review for Thursday Plantation

Tea Tree Face Wash for Acne Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Toner Tea Tree Face Cream Tea Tree Blemish Gel Tea Tree Blemish Stick

My 16 year old son who has always struggled with acne began using this approx 6 weeks ago (5 March 14). He has written the review.

I really like the colour of the labeling/packaging – the green gives it a nice natural look. The size of the products are great – not too large, but they do last a long time.

Face Wash When the nozzle is pressed down the product foams up instantly in your hand. This makes the application very easy. I have just left it on my skin while in the shower, then rinsed off. The fragrance of the tea tree is very appealing. The Face Wash leaves your skin feeling really nice and soft (not dry at all). Having used this product every day sometimes twice a day, for the past 6 weeks, given the weight of the bottle, I imagine I haven’t even used half of the bottle – so it goes a VERY long way.

Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Toner – I have been applying this product with a make up pad which makes application nice and easy. It is very refreshing to use and gets rid of any excess grime missed with the face wash.

Tea Tree Face Cream I use this straight after the toner, it makes my skin feel light and soft if you know what I mean. The container has only just lasted me 6 weeks and that was being very careful. It does feel a little greasy on my skin.

I am a part time tennis coach so am out in the sun a lot – I have to use sunblock on a daily basis. This seems to really make my skin / acne more pronounced. I am careful to cleanse my skin as soon as possible to get rid of the sunblock.

After two weeks of using the product, I noticed a real change in my skin. It was less firey and the spots were not so noticeable. This did change though when using sunblock – this made it flare up again.

I used the Blemish Gel and Spot Stick on the spots that really stuck out. This took the redness away pretty much overnight.

During the trial my acne never really came to major white heads which I have had in the past. These products seemed to keep things under control. It definitely hasn’t got rid of the problem, but I guess just managing it a little better. I don’t look like the kid from the Pizza shop anymore.

I have really enjoyed trialling the products and hope my review is of help to other acne sufferers.
