Dr. Jart+ Teatreement TonerThis is not your local health-food store's tea tree spot treatment; rather, it's the perfect post-cleansing step for treating existing breakouts and preventing new ones from occurring, thanks to a calming complex of chamomile, green tea, and aloe leaf extracts that dilutes the tea tree enough that it won't cause irritation but leaves its antibacterial properties intact.
