*First & foremost, let me apologize for the less than half a bottle of toner as display. I have to put it on a period of trial before I can put up a review. Many apologies*

What's special

A layer of corn starch powder at the bottom of the toner to mattify the skin. The salesgirl in the shop regards me about this corn starch powder that can help to absorb excess oil

My experience

Before the salesgirl recommend me to this product, I knew it earlier that my skin isn't really working with tea tree oil. But, that was years back when I tried out tea tree oil for my blemishes. After so many years, I decided to give tea tree oil another chance. FIRSTLY, what I like about this product is the "Made With Passion" section, where I found that The Body Shop really has the heart to give the poor a job. It gives me the consumer a warm feelings on how the progress of this product was made. Back to my experience with the usage of this product. I found the scent of the toner is very strong, luckily I isn't someone that hate the strong tea tree oil scene, so it is okay for me. I feel tingling sensation & uncomfortable pricking pain sometimes in some part of my face when I apply it. I can't sweep the toner at one area twice because it will heat up my face, which is pretty uncomfortable. But, it does control the excess oil in my face and T-Zone. After a month plus using only this as my toner, my face complexion isn't much improving and my existing pimples did not heal, plus with more pimples popping out. I am very sure by now that tea tree oil isn't suitable for my face
