How to Use Tea Tree Caffeine Serum
Our Tea Tree Caffeine Serum combines three ingredients: tea tree oil, which is popular for blemish-prone skin; caffeine, which can help skin look less puffy and more awake; and vitamin B5 (panthenol) for hydration. Here is how to fit it into your day.
Step-by-Step
- Cleanse and pat your skin dry.
- Apply a few drops to the face and neck and press in gently. Keep it out of the eyes and off the eyelids, as tea tree oil can sting.
- Moisturize, then finish with sunscreen in the morning.
Tips
- Patch-test on a small area first. Tea tree oil can irritate some skin types.
- Use it once a day to start; if your skin is comfortable, you can use it morning and evening.
- For breakouts, give it a few weeks of regular use before judging results.
Pair It With
A gentle exfoliant a few nights a week (see our Curology exfoliant guide), and a vitamin C serum in the morning if you also want brightening. Browse the skincare collection for more.
