Lotus Teatreeclear face pack review




Lotus Teatreeclear face pack
What it claims?
No more pimples,acne,blemishes and spots.
Regular use of this tea tree clarifying face pack halps to get rid of pimples,acne blemishes and spots.Clarifies facial complexion and enhances facial brightness.
Directions: Wash your face with mild soap and blot dry.Apply a generous amount of TEATREECLEAR on face and neckleaving eyes.Relax till completely dry.Rinse with fresh water.Follow with ACNEGEL.
Active ingredients: Tea tree oil,petit grain,pine,juniper and bergamot.
Price: Rs.185 for 120g.
My experience: This pack fails to show any quick results.In the long run it helps to cure acne/acne marks if one uses it regularly.When I apply the pack it creates a burning sensation which is quite unbearable.The pack causes tingling sensation probably because of high amount of tea tree oil in it.The pack takes about 25/30 minutes to dry which is quite a long time,but keeping it for long only helps it to work better.This pack also soaks excess skin oil.Peolpe with dry and sensitive skin should stay away from this.
Will I buy this again? Never! There are several better face packs available to cure acne faster without causing any burning sensation.
