Pros:Eliminates acne/pimples better than benzoyl peroxide for me. Helped balance combination skin, reduced redness. Also eliminated a fungal skin infection better than medicine given by my doctor.
Cons:Smells a little weird.
Bottom Line:I used Benzoyl peroxide on a bad pimple for a few days, it actually got Worse! Tried Tea tree oil and it faded a lot by the next morning! AMAZING. Also somewhat helped to balance my combination skin. I have VERY oily areas with some very dry areas, it made it all really even, reduced redness. My skin hasn't ever looked this good before.

Pros:Fairly cheap, peels fresh red marks, dries pimples.
Cons:Hasnt prevented breakout very well.
Bottom Line:I stopped using benzoyle peroxide after it stopped working as well as it originally did, and I thought Id try tea tree oil after reading all the great reviews. It hasnt been very effective though in fighting breakouts, maybe Im not using it to its full potential though. I usually put about 4 drops into my regular moisturizer after cleansing. Anyway, Im going back on the regimen tongiht, hopefully it works out.

Pros:- very quick -- results in a few days
- new zits stick around only for a day or so
- seems to be fading discolorations; has evened out my skin tone and reduced the size of my pores
Cons:- at first it made my skin feel tight, but after a few days that went away
- slightly drying, but not as bad as Proactiv or similar treatments
- strong smell, but I've gotten used to it -- better if you don't use too much to begin with
Bottom Line:This is the clearest my skin has been since my acne started a dozen years ago. I hardly ever get any new pimples, but when I do the tea tree oil turns them around overnight and they go away quickly. It also seems to be fading old discolorations faster than anything else I've used. It's getting to the point where I don't feel like I have to wear any kind of foundation or concealer anymore.

I wash my face with castile soap morning and night. At night I put a few drops of tea tree oil on a wet cotton swab and wipe it all over my face. If I have a bad zit I might use a q-tip to get it in the morning too, but usually just using the tea tree oil at night is enough. I don't really need moisturizer anymore, but if I have a dry spot I treat it with calendula cream.

I recommend getting an eyedropper...keeps you from spilling and using too much! You really only need a few drops.

Pros:dries out acne... QUICK
Cons:the smell isn't pleasant at first, but believe it or not, i've learned to like it!
Bottom Line:IT IS WORTH TRYING!!

Some people find it expensive (about 5-10 dollars for a few ozs) but it lasts a pretty long time, therefore I don't find it expensive at all.

Pros:CLEARS ACNE FAST!!!! ive used proactiv, clearasil, neutrogena, noxzema... u name it ive used it and this is the only product that has worked wonders. i use to have combination skin with breakouts all the time n scars with this it all cleared up!
Cons:the smell but u get use to it.
Bottom Line:if u battled with acne for years and have used everyhting under the sun try this and it will work. evens out skin tone and rids u off scars and stops break outs. In the morning i wash my face with dove regular soap n hot water and put some cocoa butter lotion on and then make-up and thats it. At night i wash my face again with dove regular soap and hot water and dilute the tree oil with water and apply to my face with a cotton ball and once a week i do an exfoilating scrub with just warm water and sugar and then apply the tea tree oil. and the most important thing try try try not to touch ur face and keep ur hair out of ur face ur skin on ur face is open to germs... think about it any other part of ur body doesnt break out bc ur not touching it all day long! good luck ppl!
