Review for Thursday Plantation Australia’s
Original Tea Tree Oil
Hey guys! I've been really busy at work and having office politics surrounding me isn't helping at all so this is just a simple post that I would like to share. Please enjoy!
I’m sure
you guys are familiar with the benefits
of Tea Tree Oil. Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Oil has proven antiseptic
antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. They prevent infection and relieves
inflammations are great for acne,
stinky feet, boils, cuts, scratches and insect bites.
In my
opinion, they are a definitely an
essential on my vanity table because they are pretty useful during
emergencies. They are available in 2 sizes – 10ml ($11 approx) and 25ml
($19 approx). If you are not sure whether you going to like it or not, I
suggest purchasing the smaller bottle first just to try it out.
First and
foremost, I don’t use it particularly for my zits because I really do not find
it effective. I use it more for itches
and a keloid from my helix piercing which I am getting fairly good results
so I may do a keloid/hypertrophic scarring (or in simple words- bump growth
from piercing) post after I have seen a significant difference or find out a way to reduce it.
Small bottle (10ml)
Big bottle (25ml)
Pros:
I find it works best for itches and swelling such as boils
or intense mosquito bites. I once
got a huge boil (probably for using the computer too much) on my butt and I was
immobile. The pain was too intense and walking every step felt like skin
ripping off. Even the doctor was surprised from the size and suggested surgery unless it popped
itself. I applied tea tree oil
together with some Chinese herbal ointment and like 1 or 2 days later it popped
into some kind of nasty stuff.
Since it is
an antiseptic oil, it treats
swelling and wounds very well. I do not find it stings but it really depends on
the severity of the wound.
Cons:
This stuff
is pungent, like I’m not even
kidding, for the first few times, you will be blown off by the strong smell. It is not anything
disgusting but it has a very distinct
unique smell that only tea tree oil has so it is hard to describe the smell
in words. I got used to it fairly quickly.
The cap on the smaller bottle is very problematic but similarly, you get use
to the hang it. The cap requires a push
and turn to unscrew and I’m not kidding about how tough it is to unscrew
it. Initially I got so fed up with the cap I gave up on using it. Yes it was
that bad. The good thing is the
larger bottle comes with a different cap.
The cap on the larger bottle is a simple
twist to unscrew cap so it make everything so much more convenient.
I do not find it that effective in treating pimples compared to a regular
acne cream. I do agree it dries out the zits but it has a liquid texture,
usually the surrounding skin is dried up as well. For me tea tree oil does not
dry up the zit any much quicker but
I cannot say so for everyone because many find it very effective.
Yadda Yadda:
I bought
mine from both Watsons and Guardian pharmacy, prices are as stated above. I
will recommend it if you are looking for a topical antiseptic ointment or a
mild acne treatment that has a variety of uses. Will I repurchase? Definitely.
Packaging: 4/5 (-1 for annoying cap on 10ml bottle)
Price: 4/5 (pretty pricey but made in Australia)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5
Overall Rating: 4/5
