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!

Pros:Works great on ACNE
Cons:smells strongly
Bottom Line:I used to have really clear skin, then recently due to stress, I began to break out and before I knew it, I had acne that I could not control. I was embarrassed by my face!! Even my family started telling me that I needed to get something for my face. I tried other over the counter acne treatments and nothing helped my stress related acne. I remembered that I had tea tree oil and started using it. Within 3-4 days my face cleared up remarkably!! I have been using the tea tree oil for about a week now and my face looks a great deal better and even the scars I had are vanishing. I will continue using my tea tree oil, and I will recommend it to anyone wanting clear skin!!
