Review on πŸƒ Trader Joe's Spa Natural Facial Cleansing Pads: Tea Tree Oil 2-Pack for Refreshed Skincare by Ben Liu

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great alternative to Desert Essence

I bought these because I couldn't find my regular Desert Essence tea tree pods without insanely expensive shipping. These pads are definitely not bad at all and basically I like them almost as much as Desert Essence. You can absolutely smell the tea tree and they clean brilliantly. The pads are durable and don't fall apart on the face and fingers like some other brands do. They also leave no irritating fibers on the face. The solution dries well on the skin, leaving no stickiness. If you are looking for high exfoliating pads, this may not be what you are looking for. Desert Essence tea tree pads are definitely firmer and more exfoliating, which I personally like and need. However, it can definitely irritate your skin and it's possible to scrub with them too hard to the point of roughing up your face too much, especially when used on children/elderly/sensitive skin. These Trader Joe Pads are softer and less textured, making them suitable for children and sensitive skin. I miss the "scratches" of my regular ones, but this is a really good alternative and I'm happy with it! In an ideal world I would have both brands on hand, but each is a really good option for an Eansong tea tree pillow. I would definitely buy them again and probably will!
