The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion Review: I love using The Body Shop products and I think a lot of them even fancy the brand a lot. The range of the products the brand has is immense, not all products are worth buying but after reviewing this I would say they have effective products too. The Body Shop is also a very ethical and sustainable as claimed by the brand. I am very fond of using different oils so I went for this The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion containing tea tree suffused oil. There are more products from the tea tree range like wipes, toner, scrub, body butter, hand cream, masks and more. Show  Price: Rs. 995 for 50ml. How to use: Every morning after cleansing and applying your usual serum, gently smooth on the skin in circular motions. Build upon your skincare routine with other products from the Tea Tree range. Skin Type: Oily to Combination Skin My experience with The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifying LotionMy skin is oily and acne prone, I have tried everything and even went through a laser procedure. Not saying the laser wasn’t effective, it was but there are still fewer breakouts happening which I try controlling by taking care of my skin. So for minor breakouts, I feel it did work on my skin. I went for a mattifying lotion because I have a very oily face, to keep it nourished and dry this product works wonders. The texture of the lotion is liquidy and nonsticky. It has a very mild fragrance of tea tree extracts, which is soothing. I usually apply it at night, as it does not have SPF content. A small amount of product is enough as it blends well. The product is white in color. The outer packaging, it comes in a green plastic tube with The Body Shop labeling. Pros:
Cons:
Would I repurchase? I would surely recommend to people with mild acne and oily skin and yes I will definitely buy it again as soon as I run out. Who knew finding a good moisturizer would be so difficult?? I had finally found my favorite in the Clinique Acne Solutions All Over Clearing Treatment and now (I believe) it’s discontinued. Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement. I tried one from Origins that was just so-so and without wanting to repurchase that one or drop close to $50 on a 1 oz bottle of lotion, I ended up with The Body Shop Tea Tree Mattifying Lotion. I’ve only ever tried a few products from The Body Shop before. I think their body butters smell absolutely delicious and I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to be a more “healthy” brand that doesn’t pack their products with a bunch of unknown chemicals. I found this on sale at Ulta and for $10, I figured it was my best option. In searching for a new moisturizer, I was looking for something that I can apply in the morning and that is lightweight enough to work well under makeup. I need something for oily, acne prone skin with some kind of acne fighting ingredient. I would’ve preferred salicylic acid because that always seems to react well with my skin. This lotion claims to be a lightweight daytime moisturizer that is suitable for blemished skin. That sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! It doesn’t include salicylic acid, but is instead infused with organic tea tree oil, lemon tea tree oil, and tamanu oil that is supposed to control breakouts and hydrate the skin without clogging the pores or leaving a greasy feeling. The consistency of the lotion is somewhat gel-like. It doesn’t have the traditional white lotion look that most of us are used to. It does have a slight tea tree oil scent, but it’s not overpowering and it doesn’t linger for very long. A little bit of this lotion goes a long way and it absorbs into the skin pretty quickly. After using this lotion for a few months, I’d say I am pretty impressed with it. It seems to work well under makeup, it’s done a decent job at controlling my breakouts, and it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin. However, I’m a little less impressed with the mattifying claims. I don’t think this really does much for mattifying the face or controlling my oil. While I wouldn’t go as far as saying this is my new favorite lotion, I would consider repurchasing this again. It’s not very expensive, it doesn’t suffocate my skin, and it’s not full of chemicals. If you have a good lotion recommendation for the qualities I’m looking for, please let me know!
