If your skin runs oily and looks bumpy across the nose and chin, the toner step is a practical place to add something. The skin1004 toner in the Tea-Trica line is a 210ml watery toner built on tea tree leaf water and Centella Asiatica, and it sits in the brand's blemish-focused range rather than its plain Centella line.
The formula pairs three needle-leaf tree ingredients, which the brand calls its Pine Tree Complex: cypress water, tea tree leaf water at 12% and long-leaf pine leaf extract. Centella Asiatica extract sits at 9.8%, and salicylic acid appears low on the list for a mild surface step. Chestnut shell and lavender flower extracts round it out. The texture is thin and watery, absorbs immediately and does not leave any tackiness.
This suits oily, combination and blemish-prone routines. Because it contains salicylic acid, pair it with daily sunscreen, and if you only buy products with no aromatic plant oils, note that tea tree leaf oil is on the list.
