Pros:Nice cooling sensation, gives that clean feeling after use, light tingle, doesn't irritate my skin, reduced redness and acne
Cons:Smells very strong, but doesn't last. Smells stongest and lasts longest first use. Smell also lingers for a while, but less concentrated. Probably wouldn't want to use it before you go out. Has a sort of minty smell, if you like that kind of scent
Bottom Line:I have pretty good skin, as far as acne goes, but it always bugs me how some sections of my face are smooth and clear, while others are red and bumpy. I wanted to have all of it smooth and clear, but all the kits and washes didn't seem to work right. So, I did some research and was immediately interested in tea tree oil when I read about it. So I went out and bought it.

I really love it. I bought it just the other day at Target, it was the last bottle! I used it before I went to bed, and when I woke up, my skin had visibly gone down in redness. It sounds crazy, but my skin actually feels happy now that I'm using it. I just dab a bit on a cotton ball and wipe it all over my face, apply mosturizer if I feel that I need it, and I'm good! I'm not a fan of the smell, but I guess I don't mind it too much. I can't wait for it to clean up the rest of my acne and keep it that way :)!

Pros:You can feel it work with this powerful burn, its fun.
I use it straight from the bottle with a cotton bud but you should be aware that you may need to dilute. so far im at the flaking stage and this is the first week so it moves at a decent pace.
Cons:the smell, fine if you're not going anywhere but a little obvious if you are.
Bottom Line:try it, its working for me, none of this body shop crap, go to a specialist health shop.

Pros:good for sensitive skin (just apply the correct diluted amount)
Cons:-not so fast in clearing acne scars
Bottom Line:I have tried body shop's tea tree oil and I broke out. But now I am using a tea tree oil from my derma and it worked amazingly. Maybe they differ in concentration?I don't know. So I advice those who have broke out with body shop's tea tree oil to try using other brands of tea tree oil. It might work out for you as well.

Pros:- cleared up skin by 75% (and more after every use)
- after application, skin feels all shook up
Cons:- a little over drying if applied "neat"
- may draw a few whiteheads (but is better than red mountains imo)
Bottom Line:I recently embarked on a natural face routine after I was struck down by the acne at 18. I am now 19 and the buggers are still present. At its worst, my face was red all over with large cystic acen and a few thousand white/blackheads. Now I jog every morning, eat more healthily, consume less fizzy drinks and stick to a strict routine concerning my face.
After jog, immediately shower. Wash face with 100% tea tree oil soap. Rinse off. With cotton ball put some water on it with 3-6 drops of 100% pure tea tree oil and pat over affected areas. Pat dry, Spray with Avene Water Spray. Then dry my face via a fan (no pat dry). If a little dry, dab some jojoba oil on the flaky areas. Then bam! Clean feeling skin! Thank you very much !

Pros:Gets rid of AND prevents zits and acne every time!
Cons:temporary smell that goes away in a short while
Bottom Line:Tea tree oil has worked for me for years! If I don't use it I break out. If I eat chocolate I break out, but if I am using tea tree oil EVERY DAY I never ever break out. If I forget and start to have a zit I just use tea tree oil and it goes away. I have told my friends and strangers about this for several years now. FABULOUS PRODUCT! I get mine from Whole Foods. Just don't get it in your eyes!
