I bought this during TBS promotion SGD 12.90. I was upset about the bad breakout during my pre-mense time. This and TTO fade lotion really helps alot in reducing the no. of breakout and kills the pimples much faster.

I am changing my skincare to TBS. Now using this cleanser, TTO fade lotion, Aloe Toner, Aloe makeup remover, Vit facial wash, Vit E cleansing Cream (Trial set), Vit E hydrating toner (Trial set), Vit E day cream (Trial set) and Vit E night cream (Trial set). More to come..... Really can't resist TBS promotion.

I just bought my 3rd bottle of this wonderful cleanser. My hubby love it very much:):) TBS has changed their TTO range last year (can't remember, as TBS keeps revamping their skincare range). As usual, I have different range of TBS cleansers + other brands cleansers to finish up. This will always be the one I will stock up:):)

This product gives a nice cooling sensation and comes in an easy to use foaming dispenser. However, it's very harsh and is definitely not for everyday use. My combination skin is always dry and flaky after using this face wash, especially during the winter. I prefer to use this during the summer or on the oily parts of the face, not the sensitive skin patches.

This gave me one of the worst breakouts I've ever had. My skin was irritated and burned after using it. I know several people who swear by tea tree oil, but it does not work well for those with combination complexions.

This doesn't really treat or prevent blemishes from appearing.

I gave it 4 lippies since I feels very cooling after I rinse (wakes me up), I love foam face washes (so FUN!), it's in my fav color (=D), and it also keeps shine at bay .. somewhat ..

I was having a terrible breakout and nothing seemed to be getting rid of it so i decided to give this a try. I have been using it for a few days now, once in the morning and once at night, and my blemises have cleared significantly. The tingly clean sensation it has feels invigorating and i believe the foam is a good way to use less product. It may be harsh on someone with sensitive skin, but my skin can take just about anything and this has worked great as a daily cleanser. I follow up my washing with the Tea Tree Oil Blemish Stick and the Tea Tree Oil Mattifying Moisturizer.

This facial wash is not too bad =) the foam feels nice against your skin and while you rinse it off, your face feels a nice cool and fresh sensation. I like this feeling, makes me feel all clean and refreshed. Very different to cetaphil - to me that feels like im just rubbing cream on >_> and im not sure if its cleansing me.

Im actually more of a normal/dry cheeks/sensitive skin type, and I think TBS's tea tree oil line is designed for oily/blemished skin types. So sometimes after washing, my skin is left abit dry- however if your an oily/combo skin type, i think you'll be fine. Anyways i solved my dryness with moisturiser, so it wasn't too bad as it didn't overly dry and flake my skin out. In the end, i stopped using it daily and started using it every 2nd night. The facial washed lasted me about 2 and a half months.

The product didn't feel like it caused any big problems, although I have gotten a few pimples during the time I had used it (but I cannot tell if it was from the facial wash).
Overall i think this is a generally alright product, and I would rebuy if I wasn't so keen into trying different cleansers. Just trying to find one that i'll love and is abit more than 'alright' ;] continued >>

This product isn't a *bad* facewash. Probably a little too intense for people with super sensitive skin though. I like the cooling effect. I actually am using like 3 different washes right now so that therefore means I have no idea what is doing what, but my skin has been pretty well behaved lately. This has that good cooling effect thing too so if you are into the "tingly clean" feeling then you will probably be happy. Foam is fun too. Oh but by the way...this doesn't take off makeup at all (talking about face---wayy too afraid to use this on my eyes period) so make sure you use a toner after!

I'm liking this product probably mainly because o the cooling effect. I think the sales woman was very honest when she worned me that this might be too harsh on my skin. I just can't help it. I just love products that have a cooling effect. Tea tree and peppermint are a very risky combination for sensitive skin, so that's a good reason too for me to use it only every now and then.
This stuff surely is too drying for me to be using daily. I think I'll be using it as special treat when my skin needs good cleaning and some cooling. Something tells me I'll use it in the summer quite often.
Tea tree works as clarifyer on my skin. This product left my skin clean, but gladly not as squeky clean as I had expected. I like the smell, it's a funny mix of peppermint and tea-tree. The bottle is very usable and for some reason I like the poison green color the whole line has.

I don't actually use this on a regular basis - if I have a particularly bad breakout, this face wash is pretty good at clearing it up. It leaves a bit of a film, which makes it a bit unsuitable for everyday use, and it's a bit strong to use regularly, but it's decent at clearing up breakouts. Won't repurchase.

This product's getting slammed with all the negative reviews but it's got its merits- I like the fact that it's super easy to wash off unlike other face washes which take ages to get off, and I LOVE the minty feeling on my skin afterwards. I always have a thing for products that make my skin feel fresh. Control-wise, I don't think its really reduced my acne much, but that could be due to my poor eating and sleeping habits. The only thing I don't like it about it is its ability to leak despite the cap. When I went on holiday and opened the ziploc bag that contained my toiletries, the liquid was smeared everywhere. Everything smelled like tea tree oil afterwards. It's perfectly fine standing on my dresser though- I just have to leave it at home when I go travelling next time. So far, this product is still in my good books. EDIT: I'm taking off two lippies. I recently bought this face wash again and realised it was actually making my face oilier because it was stripping it of its natural moisture.
