Tea Tree
Tea Tree — in skincare
Tea tree, from the leaves of the Australian Melaleuca alternifolia, is a classic clarifying ingredient for oily, breakout-prone skin. Korean brands use it diluted, often with soothing centella.
What it does for skin
Tea tree helps reduce the look of blemishes and shine, so skin looks clearer. Centella balances it, keeping skin fresh without the tightness of harsher clarifying products.
Who it suits
Oily, combination and blemish-prone skin, including skin that is also red. Very dry skin may find it slightly drying.
How to use it
After cleansing and toner, apply the sheet mask for 15–20 minutes, press in the remaining essence and follow with cream. Use it one to three times a week.

Frequently asked
Is tea tree good for acne-prone skin?
It helps the look of blemishes and oiliness. A mask is a supporting step; for daily care, combine it with a BHA or azelaic acid product.
Can I put pure tea tree oil on my face?
Better not: undiluted tea tree oil can irritate and dry the skin. Ready-made products use it diluted and balanced with soothing ingredients.
