Tea Tree Face Wash

In many of my past cleanser review posts I repeated how I hadn't found a cleanser which gave me that squeaky scrumptious clean feel I only got with the Clinique cleansing soap bar and the Vichy Normaderm deep cleansing gel, which was at the same time gentle and fragrance free and contained only natural ingredients. So for years I kept trying different cleansers, and would wash my face for the sake of doing so but without getting that deep clean feel I like. The reason behind that was that both Clinique and Vichy cleansers, which I mentioned above, were too strong for me and caused me respiratory problems because of the chemicals which they contained. Finally, and I want to repeat finally, I found a cleanser which only contains bioactive, natural and organic ingredients, and which gives me that squeaky clean refreshed feeling I was looking for in a face wash. The main ingredient in this cleanser is tea tree. And I am talking about the Dr. Organic Tea Tree Face Wash. 

The great things about this cleanser are so many I don't really know where to start from. So I am going to start by saying that I have been a huge fan of Dr. Organic for the past year. However, I have never tried their tea tree line. Actually, I have never tried any tea tree product as I have never actually liked the scent of most tea tree skincare and tea tree cosmetics. All of the Dr. Organic products are bioactive meaning that they actually do something for your face, hair and body. Their ingredients not only are organic, smell amazing, are natural and all good for you but they also have many benefits for you. If you want to know more about bioactive skincare you should read this article.


tea tree face washThe Tea Tree Face Wash by Dr. Organic is great for oily, combination and blemish prone skin. In fact, the tea tree ingredient acts as an antibacterial for all the impurities on the skin, which tend to cause acne and other blemishes. The antibacterial benefits of this tea tree face wash are all due to one main ingredient - tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is in fact well known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. For this reason tea tree skin care products are great for fighting acne and the resulting blemishes. Because tea tree is so effective on acne but is also way more gentle than any product containing either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, any tea tree cleanser is much more suitable for combination skin or oily skin which is very sensitive. If you are interested in the other health benefits of tea tree oil check out this tea tree essential oil  article. While being effective, tea tree oil is also gentle. This is why this Tea Tree Face Wash also protects your skin by ensuring your pH is balanced and doesn't dry out your skin, which is very important if you have combination skin with dry patches.


One final great thing about this Tea Tree Face Wash is that it smells amazing. Its scent reminds me of my favourite citrus drink which is only available in Sicily. If you read the ingredient list you will know why it smells so good. It contains tea tree, aloe vera, red mandarin, lemon, bergamot, grapefruit and cedarwood. And it is also infused with witch hazel. I have always wanted to try this latter since it's so much hyped but I was afraid I might get some form of allergic reaction. So finally I get to try it without worries since it's not among the main ingredients of this face wash. (If you are not aware of the uses and benefits of witch hazel read this article).


So far the Dr. Organic Tea Tree Face Wash is the one cleanser which I am actually enjoying using and will repurchase again and again. And the best thing about this Tea Tree product is that it only costs 7.33 euros at one of my local supermarkets. I am sure you can find the tea tree range by Dr. Organic in your supermarkets as well as drugstores. If not, check any shops selling natural and organic products. If you don't find this specific tea tree face wash, I suggest you to at least try another tea tree facial cleanser to enjoy the many tea tree benefits on the skin. What about you, have you tried this Tea Tree Face Wash? If yes, did you like it? Feel free to also share with us any other tea tree cleansers, as well as tea tree skincare products you have used and loved.

NB. I have been using this cleanser in combination with the Bioderma Sensibio AR which I also reviewed and I am really loving them both. 

STAY FAB
