So, I’ve been on this whole skincare journey lately, trying to find something that works for my stubborn, combination skin. It’s like, one minute it’s oily, the next it’s drier than the Sahara. Anyway, I heard a lot of buzz about tea tree oil and how it’s great for acne-prone skin. I figured, why not give it a shot? So I started looking into tea tree oil facial cleansers.

First, I went down the rabbit hole of online reviews, you know how it is. One brand that kept popping up was Meow Meow Tweet. People were saying good things about their Tea Tree Charcoal Facial Soap. Seemed promising.

But I’m not one to just jump on the bandwagon. I had to do my own experiments, right? I mean my face is precious. I started with a little patch test on my arm. Didn’t want to risk a full-blown breakout on my face if it didn’t agree with me.

• Day 1-3: Patch test successful! No redness, no itching, nothing. Felt pretty good about moving forward.

Next, I used the soap on my face, just at night to start. Wanted to see how my skin would react over a few days. It lathered up nicely, which was a pleasant surprise. And the smell? Oh man, it was so refreshing. That tea tree scent is really something. Not overpowering, just… clean.

• Day 4-7: Started using it in the morning too. My skin felt squeaky clean after each wash, but not in a bad, stripped-down kind of way. More like, a good, deep clean.

Honestly, I started noticing a difference after about a week. My skin was less oily, especially in my T-zone. And those annoying little bumps I always get around my chin? They started to calm down. It’s like the soap was actually doing something.

• Week 2 onwards: I’ve been using it twice a day and my skin has honestly never looked better. I still get the occasional pimple, but they’re way less frequent and they go away faster.

My Verdict

I am really digging this Tea Tree Charcoal Facial Soap from Meow Meow Tweet! It definitely lives up to the hype, at least for me. The oily parts of my face are way more balanced, and the dry patches are feeling softer. It’s like my skin finally found its chill. Plus, it’s a solid bar soap, which makes me feel like I’m making a more environmentally friendly choice. So, if you’re dealing with similar skin issues, I’d say give tea tree oil cleansers a try. This one might just be your new best friend!
