Our verdict

A roll on salicylic acid gel with tea tree oil for acne prone skin, vegan and cruelty free. The very small amount listed suits occasional spot treatment, not a full face routine.

Overview

A roll on applicator carries salicylic acid and tea tree oil straight onto a blemish. The formula is a lightweight gel for acne prone skin, scented with aloe vera and tea tree.

The case for it is a targeted gel with salicylic acid and tea tree oil in a roll on format, free of parabens and phthalates. The limit is the very small amount listed and a scent that is not fragrance free.

Who it's for

Acne prone skin with the odd blemish is the situation here, where a lightweight gel applied to one spot is enough. People wanting broad coverage, a cleanser or sun protection should choose a different product type.
