kbutton Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Trader Joe's discontinued their tea tree oil bar soap. Does anyone know of a nearly identical option? I am bereft, and in a couple of weeks, will be visited with annoying amounts of visible and persistent acne (gotta love oily skin at 42). When I don't use this soap, I also look older, and my skin is just...ugly. This was my entire beauty routine. I will no doubt also be blessed with dry skin. Somehow this soap removed just the right amount of oil but left me with enough that I rarely had to use lotion of any kind. It's magical stuff. Help! If you are also bereft, please consider e-mailing TJ's along with me--the cashier said they sometimes bring back products if customers complain.

I've got 5 TJ's within 20 minutes of me that I can look at this week. Did you try the liquid soap? My teens like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We forgot a bag at checkout, so I have to go back sooner than later (it's a 3-4 times per year trip for us normally). I do use the tea tree oil shampoo (which also makes an excellent wash for lingerie too, BTW). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I can get to so many stores easily (thanks TJ's! and Boston/Cambridge/Newton) I might be able to get quite a few. Lemme know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Have you tried using Dove? I’m guessing it would be less effective on acne. If they discontinue their tea tree conditioner I’ll cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to a dozen packages (2 bars to a package), but anything gives me a bit of a buffer to try new options or for them to change their mind. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do need to keep some on hand anyway though-- visiting family members use it, so I will give it another try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We visit TJs every month or so, and TTO soap is always on our list. Thanks for the heads up. We'll certainly email them to bring it back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfIOnly Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) I'm sorry! TJ's tea tree shampoo and conditioner are the only things I've found that got rid of my dandruff. That better not go too! There are several tea tree bar soaps with good reviews on Amazon. Nothing priced as well as TJ's though. ?

YaelAldrich Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Oh! But I found they have TTO wipes. They don't have any citrus in them. Maybe you can use these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I looked for it at TJs today, too, and they didn't have any. Sorry. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 I do not usually do well with chamomile products, and I was afraid to try the face wipes after they irritated my son's skin. We are sensitive folks, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
