Pros Natural, calming smell, dries out pimples, reduces inflammation, and takes away the appearance of inflammation.
Cons Burns the eyes at first
Bottom line this stuff has been working great for me. I started Proactive last year and that worked for about 9 months and recently started to stop working. So I tried out tea tree oil because I thought I might as well, since my acne can't get any worse. But it really surprised me! This stuff really works, my big pimples are shrinking and I haven't broken out! I just put it onto a cosmetic pad and then put it on my face, or i use my fingers. I don't dilute it though. Who knew something natural could work wonders? I definitely recommend this product for everyone.

Pros I have been using the body shop tea tree oil products and I have to say that they are really quite good. Within the first few days I could see that my spots were clearing up and that it works. It also smells quite nice and relaxing.
Cons The only con is that it dries up your skin. But moisturizer can help this so I recommend that you use cleanser,then toner and then moisturizer.
Bottom line I really like this product and would recommend this to you so go buy it because it is very cheap!

Pros -kills bacteria
-makes ur acne less red
Cons -smell might be a bit strong for most ppl
-dries ur skin out
Bottom line IMO this works alot better than the other over-the-counter acne products since its alot more natural and affordable. i'm currently using the bodyshop tea tree oil products (the oil itself, the foam cleanser, and the exfoliant). when i use the exfoilant, i usually mix it with an apricot srub (since the exfoliant itself didnt seem to really... exfoliate)

Pros The tea tree oil product line should only be used for BLEMISH control. If you do not have ALOT of acne then DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. If you do have oily/blemished prone skin this product will work wonders. Use the cleanser with the moisturizer
Cons If you do not have oily skin it will do the reverse and actually CAUSE breakouts so make sure your using the right products.
Bottom line Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic, anti fungal, and germocide. The line is great to use. If using 100% pure tea tree oil as a spot treatment you need to be careful to not apply too much, or it will cause redness and irritate the skin. There are also other amazing things that tea tree oil can do. Have a few drops in your shampoo and your scalp will not be as dry and or flaky. Soak your feet in it everyday with water and it will get rid of fungus.

Pros Feels fresh, absorbs oil, it just works really
Cons stinky
Bottom line Used it for a week, I bought the BODY SHOP Tea tree oil line. have had next to no new breakouts! That's good news. I really believe in it. I've used every acne product out there including pro-activ, which worked really well for six months and then I broke out worse then ever. Good luck people!

Pros Somewhat reduces redness, leaves skin feeling extremely clean and soft.
Cons Smell is a little strong during first use.
Bottom line My acne isn't that bad, but i hate having pimples and recently over the past year or year and a half, I have started to break out a lot. I've used so many different products before and wasted so much money on them, but i found that this product actually works! Right now I am taking antibiotics for my acne and use benzoyl peroxide (8%), but on addition to that i also use the tea tree oil from the Body Shop which not only keeps my skin soft, but it also reduces a lot of the redness caused by the antibiotics. I have found that the tea tree oil also helped reduce the size of my pimples a little, and also prevented or kept any new pimples from forming. This stuff is soooo cheap, and it is worth every penny!

Pros feels asthough every pore can breathe freshly, lovley natural herbal smell if using the right amount !, puts 'natural' oils back into the skin.
Cons only cam across watery eyes
Bottom line some things work for some people others it doesnt , i can tell you for a fact toothpaste doesnt help it maybe sort out pimples but not acne it dries out yes but this can also cause more acne, i feel the best thing to do is even out the dry and oily, balance it, so far ive been using clearasil ultra face scrub, then patting my face dry, then using the tea tree on wool, all over the face , i tend to squeeze alot hate the idea of looking whats comming out then people sayin dont squeeze, then knowing its in my skin but do try not to if u try this idea the clearasil bring them out from the root ( may not like the idea of them all at once i dont eather', then the tea tree stimulates obviosly with the oil it shouldnt be too hard to let them out on there own.

Pros I use The Body Shop line of products, and I can already see results after a few tries! My skin is less blotchy/red and the bumps don't look as big. The smell isn't strong or offensive. Plus, it doesn't bleach like Retin-A and benzoyl peroxide
Cons The stores aren't always well stocked so you may have to make a couple of trips before they have the inventory you want.
Bottom line My acne isn't too bad, but it's been tough to get rid of for the past 6 years. I've tried the whole lot of Rx meds, including Accutane and Retin-A, but they were all either too harsh or didn't work. The Body Shop has a great line of products including face washes, toners, moisturizers, spot treatments, masks, etc. Currently I'm using Neutrogena face washes and I apply the tea tree oil toner and mattifying moisturizer at night. I also use the blemish stick if I notice a soon-to-be zit at night and in the morning. I plan on buying the mask once the store has it back in stock. I'm praying that this stuff pulls through for me! I especially like that The Body Shop promotes natural, fair trade, environmental-friendly products. If you want to try it now, all the tea tree oil products are 2 for $18 this month. Bottomline? Good for mild acne on sensitive skin. Doesn't cause dryness or peeling.

Pros really good at removing the acne, makes skin feel good
Cons makes my eyes water like crazy!
Bottom line So I just started using it like two days ago and already I see a difference. I bought the one from The Body Shop. I used it as a spot treatment over my moisturizer (once the moisturizer wasnt wet on my skin anymore) and within a few days I see the big ones already starting to go away. I like the herbally smell although it seems like a lot of people on here don't. it relaxes me. also it stings a bit at first on the open zits but it stops fast and it feels your skin feeling healthier.
