Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Toner

I don't usually use a toner as I have not had great results in the past. I found after using the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Face Wash for Acne that it left my skin incredibly tight and when following it with this product, it instantly relieved the tightness.

The tea tree scent is quite strong and overpowering, which can be off putting.

If I was to continue with the Thursday Plantation acne system, I would absolutely include this as part of my routine.

I managed to pick this product up from the local pharmacy, I was so eaer to buy, I found that it did help towards acne on my skin but applying it did feel quite irritating and stung my skin, i also found it to dry my skin right out no good

I'm used to light toners which leave skin fresh and bright afterwards. This felt more like a light oil to touch and on my skin felt like a light moisturiser rather than toner. Strong tea tree smell. The first few times I used it the smell was so strong it was almost overpowering, following me around for an hour or so! I persevered and after a week or so I got used to it but only used it at night.

About Me

Let me start off by sharing a bit about my skin. I have very oily and acne prone skin. I've had acne for more than 10 years and have been on every drug, cream and face wash you can imagine. Things tend to work for me for around a month and then the acne returns. I believe my acne is hormonal and before using this product it was moderate in severity.

Results

I've been using this toner for around 3 weeks. Unfortunately it hasn't cleared up my skin. At first I used it morning and night but now I just use it at night. I noticed that during the day my skin was very oily a lot earlier than normal. Once I stopped using this is the morning it went back to how it usually is.

Would I recommend it?

I would recommend this product for those wanting a natural toner. I would not recommend it to those fighting acne.

Nuts & Bolts

Consistency- This is a little bit thicker than water but not as thick as oil.

Application- It's easy to apply, just apply to skin using a cotton pad.

Coverage-I usually just squirt a little onto a cotton pad and that does the whole face and neck.

Longevity- Based on how much I've used so far I would estimate this product would last over 2 months.

Packaging- I don't like this packaging. It's in a bottle with a cap and it leaks! It would be a lot better put into a spray bottle.

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.

The toner is the second step in the system,and is easy to use, has a push type lid so that you can get as much or as little as you like. I found it too strong both in smell and in the drying effect it had on my skin. I don't usually use a toner in my skin care, and I don't find it necessary in a skin care regimen. Again it may be useful for teenagers but far to harsh for my mature skin.
