Ive used so many products from creams to tablets and nothing worked.

So i thought to give this a shot and im glad i did, I used sudocrem when i had big acne spots which decreased the size then i used tea tree oil which made the spots smaller and less visible.

good product!

worth a try!

Pros

  • Smells nice
  • easy to put on
  • does not irritate skin
  • works effectively
  • no 'new' acne spots since using this

Cons

  • The small bottle does run out very quickly
  • moderately severe
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 7
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I first tried 1/2 tsp TTO with 1/2cup water in a cleaned out glass baby food jar and use a cotton ball. It mixes nicely with water as long as you shake or swirl the jar before opening it. It is important to close the jar tightly after and store in a dark place. The first week of use I had ZERO new zits. Absolutely amazing. Now I mix 1tsp of TTO with 1/2cup water and make sure to feel that strong minty tingle on my face after application, or else its time to mix a fresh batch.

Pros

  • Dry face the first day, then skin adjusted
  • Not irritating
  • Prevents new acne
  • Non greasy
  • Nice smell

Cons

  • Can become ineffective the longer its exposed to air. So close container tightly and store in a dark place.
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • $ 13
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I love using natural products. Before I started the regimen I used tea tree oil day and night to dry up breakouts. It worked but dried it too much in the end. The best natural product I have found for my acne though.

Pros

  • Dried up pimples quickly
  • Natural product
  • Cheap and effective

Cons

  • Smelly
  • Crusty skin
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

It didn't work for me. It gave me lots of new pimples. It will bring deep painful blemishes to the surface. I mixed it half and half with witch hazel and used it as an astringent. I gave up on after 4 months because my mom and boyfriend complained so much.

Pros

  • All natural
  • Not expensive
  • Lots of uses
  • Refreshing
  • (I liked the smell)

Cons

  • My boyfriend and family could not handle the smell. Load of complaints.
  • Didn't work
  • moderately severe
  • for a few months
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

My skin was currently breaking out pretty badly from new cleansers, so I was praying this would work well. After a shower I dabbed some tea tree oil to my acne spots.. the huge zits around my jaw line, the smaller ones on my chin. No joke, a couple hours later its reduced to a third of the size and the redness has drastically decreased. The acne spots are less painful too. I'm hoping this is the type of situation where you'll learn to love the smell of it when you realize how effective it is.

Pros

  • reduces pain, redness, inflammation

Cons

  • pungent
  • light
  • for a day or two
  • $ 10
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I first started using Trader Joe's tea tree oil all over my face only to realize that it made my face a little red. I then only used it as a spot treatment and found great success. It dries existing pimples quickly and just flakes off. It isn't ideal for wearing under makeup, so I suggest using this as a night time treatment. You get used to the smell, but it'll always be there when you first apply it.

Pros

  • Heals existing pimples quickly
  • Clean feeling

Cons

  • Smelly
  • moderately severe
  • for about a month
  • $ 8
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Bottom line, tree tea oil on acne works. I was sick of all the medications my dermatologist put me on, so I went online trying to find all natural help. I bought it, tried it, and now after just a week my face looks a lot better. I use Yes To Tomatoes to cleanse, witch hazel to tone, and tea tree oil (straight from the bottle.) I know you are supposed to dilute, but I want the full strength help. It'll burn your eyes and kill that nasty acne.

Pros

  • Less acne
  • No pain, itching, peeling
  • No sensitivity to light

Cons

[not submitted]
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • $ 9
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I have suffered from cystic acne for over 15 years. At first my birth control (depo) kept is somewhat in check for a long time. I recently got an IUD and stopped depo and the acne came back with a vengeance. I've tried everything except accutane and I figured I was screwed till I had health insurance for it. Not true. I finally tried this and while I'm still getting small breakouts, it's not the huge boils I usually got.

Pros

  • quick acting
  • works even on cystic acne

Cons

  • Drying but nothing a little good face lotion didn't fix.
  • moderately severe
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 12
  • I recommend using this treatment.
