Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Medicated Gel For Acne

This product is a thick, clear gel that you apply to blemish-prone areas. I usually use this at night after cleansing - I find it has a very strong tea tree smell so I don't use it during the day! I apply the gel to areas where I often get breakouts, such as my forehead and chin. I found that this product did reduce the severity of my breakouts, although did not clear them up completely. I could see that I had overall clearer skin which was great! I wouldn't recommend it for someone with severe acne as I don't think the product is powerful enough, but for someone like me with minor acne, it does the trick. Also it's great to know that I'm using a product that contains natural ingredients and no nasties!

I cant say much about this product as it didnt do much, to put it simple if you suffer from acne a lot like I do - My main problem areas are my face and chest - then although this product looks like it does a lot it really doesn't.

For starters, the smell is something to be desired seriously it smells like the nit treatment I had when I was a child.

consistency - The gel felt really thick and I did not like how heavy it felt on my skin, although in saying that it did seem to make it tingle a bit!

Results- The product was great in drying up my acne, but other then that it really did nothing else. It didnt help prevent future break outs, in fact my chest is worse then ever.

Strongly recommend people purchase the Tea Tree range from the body shop and do not recommend purchasing it, as there are a lot of other options out there that are much better.

This is the most effective thing i have ever used for my acne!! I saw a huge difference after using this product (along with the others) in just 2 days. It reduced the redness and inflammation so well I couldn't believe my eyes! My husband even commented-which he never does. So i would highly recommend this stuff to anyone whether they just have a few minor breakouts or bull blown acne! I'm buying some for my teen brothers :-)

This seems to be the same stuff as in the tube with the applicator. I initially thought this would be better given it had to go on more sterile being freshly squeezed from the tube each time but have to say I prefer the applicator version for ease of use. I could only ever manage to squeeze too big a blob out at once and this meant I also ended up with too much on each blemish. Says its good on black heads but I didn't see any difference No real fragrance

First off, I couldn't make out any difference between this product and the Tea Tree Blemish Stick, I honestly think this is the same product just in a different container. I like that this is a invisible gel, that absorbs/dries quickly. It smells very heavily of tea tree oil, and the smell does linger on your skin for quite awhile after applying.

This gel was my least favourite of the Thursday Plantation products during my trial. Although it smelt nice, and that I like the idea of using organic products, I found this had no obvious effect on my acne. It comes out quite sticky and clear, but dries to paste which is visible on your skin. I preferred the Thursday Plantation blemish stick as it was less obvious on the skin. Although this product had a higher concentration of Melaleuca alternifolia oil (which is meant to help bad acne) I felt like this one dried out the acne spots less than the other Thursday Plantation products. This product would probably be more beneficial to people which lesser/moderate acne problems or to maintain, rather than improve, skin.

Pretty much the same as the blemish stick, it didn't do anything for my skin, after using it for just over a month my skin looks very similar to how it started out, probably wouldn't purchase again, not much different to other products

I applied this gel on any acne I had and also on my nose (for blackheads) and my whiteheads. It didn't seem to do much for my blackheads, but I had one instance in which a whitehead started stinging and sort of 'erupted' and I had to pierce it with a needle to remove it. The cream seemed to help reduce the swelling and pain a little, but as for my pimples, I found no noticeable difference in how long they invaded my face for. This gel comes in a convenient tube of decent size, but seeing as it barely made a difference to my acne, I may not use up the entire thing. The smell was nice, and it didn't dry out my skin. I would be hesitant to buy this product, but seeing as I have so much left, I'll use it until my current one is empty.

Out of all the products in the trial, this one I didn't love. It was very sticky and the smell was quite powerful and because I was using more of it than some of the other products it was quite unpleasant. I applied it at night and found it to dry my skin out and it felt quite tight. It did dry out some of my spots however the tightness I felt over all was uncomfortable and sometimes I would skip this product as it didn't do any favours for makeup application.

It said it was meant to help dissolve blackheads but it didn't. I definitely preffered the blemish stick over this product for zapping nasty spots!

I started using this when I had big patch areas of acne that had flared up. I'd apply it at night before I went to sleep and by morning the redness would have been minimised considerably. The gel really works wonders, however the tea tree smell is very very strong, taking about ten minutes to subside. I can't really say if the gel is very effective in preventing or controlling acne, because I didn't really notice a difference, and I only used it when necessary. Furthermore I've never tried a pimple cream as such before so I have nothing to compare my experience to. However, it's made with as many natural ingredients as possible so give it a try!
