I've been loving The Body Shop products since I used seaweed range, but I can't stand of their prices -___-
Its functions are:
FYI, The Body Shop seaweed range is suitable much for combination/oily skin. I used it then I stopped because of their prices lol. However, if you have very oily to acne-prone skin, I recommend you to use their tea tree range (I only use tea tree toner and pore minimiser).
Since I have large pores and blackheads around my cheeks and nose, I tempted to buy The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser. It's pricey (IDR 219.000,-) but it's worth a try. So let's start.
Its functions are:
- Minimises the appearance of pores.
- Mattifies for a shine-free finish.
- Leaves skin feeling fresh and pure.
- Ideal base for make-up.
It has small hole which I like :)
It has yellowish color and light weight formula. Also its scent is soft :)
If you rub it, it will turn clear and easily absorbed
Results:
- It leaves matte finish without drying out my skin.
- Minimises appearance of pores a little.
- Works well as a primer! Makeup sticks better when use.
- Reduces appearance of blackheads too :D
- After 4 hrs usage, my skin starts to be oily (when I stay at home only).
One thing that surprise me is, it banishes blackheads too. So, bye bye Biore Pore Pack lol.
However, if I go outdoor, it controls oil production on me better. Seems weird right? :/

I've been using it for a week and it reduces appearance of pores a little. Hopefully it will make much progress in a month :)
Comparison between using The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser and nothing:
Without usage (cleanse + tone + moisturize)

According to pics above, these look the same, huh? -___-
Sadly, it doesn't work on keeping shine free or controlling sebum on my face.
In short, let me say about its pros and cons.
Pros:
- Banishes blackheads.
- Good package with small tube.
- Easily absorbed.
- Leaves matte finish without drying out my skin.
- Minimises pores a little in a week.
- Does great job as a primer.
- Soft and nice scent.
- Light weight formula.
Cons:
- Pricey (IDR 219.000,-).
- Doesn't work as an oil control if I only stay at home.
I will repurchase this product in condition if there is discount or special promo lol. I can't stand spending much money, seriously err.
I would like to recommend if you:
- Have oily or acne-prone skin.
- Need good primer.
- Have enlarged pores.
- Have blackheads.
- Outgoing.
I couldn't recommend if you:
- Have dry or sensitive skin.
- Need daily oil control.
- Only stay at home, cause it controls oil production better outdoor.
