Is this normal with a new acne product?

Question

I know I asked this like 2 hours ago but im very impatiant! I have just recently started using The Body Shop Tea Tree Line, like two days ago. I noticed my forhead ( where I tend to put more product, its where the acne is ) is getting worse. I have a large new pimple and a new patch of smaller ones... is this normal!? If so, how long will this last?

Answer 1

sounds like maybe an allergic reaction, these herbal wash things are for very mild odd kind of spots, but it has astringent properties and could cause redness and itching/burning on someone with sensitive skin  , ask your Dr for something maybe  more on the lines of a clear antibiotic gel .cream for topical application for minor acne, which will kill off any bacteria that are involved in spots . The tea tree oil will remove grease and give you a cleaner face but  not really going to take away a crop of spots.

I thought maybe, you are under stress or on the monthlies as this is when a  womans skin tends to go a bit haywire. good luck ,take care.

Answer 2

Don't use it anymore. I started using it too and they weren't doing anything so I went back to the store and got my money back. I wash my face with a Clearasil wash that has salicylic acid and then I use the Proactive repairing lotion at night. It has helped me a lot getting rid of my pimples.
