Pros Dramatically reduces redness and oil on face
Cons Smells very strong
Bottom line It's worth a try. I've only used it for less than 24 hours, but my skin feels so much cleaner.

Pros Feels nice on skin (if you dont use too much), works to some extent for me.
Cons I don't like how it smells. Use too much, and you will be in pain, and washing it off won't help you.
Bottom line It's pretty good for making acne go away cuz it's a germocide, and penetrates the skin. I accidentally put way too much on my face, and my face was red for 4 days, it was painful.

Pros clears red marks extremely well, no breakouts since starting use
Cons the only stuff i could find came in a very small bottle (15mL)
Bottom line long story short, 3 days before starting school i had some huge cysts and was rummaging through all of my old acne fighting supplies to try to get rid of it. i saw some tea tree oil i had bought but never really tried and looked it up online a bit and gave it a try. what i ended up doing was:
cleanser (cetaphil)
let face dry
mix shot glass of water with 3 drops of tea tree oil, use cotton ball to wipe on face and let dry
apply benzyclin (i'd guess any benzol peroxide would work to some extent)
moisturize if needed (cetaphil moisturizer)
also drinking lots of water

in about 3 days all of my red marks from this summer have faded to almost nothing and the three huge angry red pimples are flat and fading rapidly. really worth a try, its the only thing that's worked this well for red marks for me and i've been trying to figure that problem out for about 6 years.
note: i hear both TTO and BP dry out your skin a lot, i've been on BP for years so i didnt have much

Pros Its very affective and all natural. got this at the body shop for fairly cheep, it smells amazing
Bottom line its affective, cheep and it smells really good.
its others say how strong it is. so go for the foaming face wash it s not as harsh don't forget the tea tree moisturizer as well because when used it makes the previous more affective for face wash,expholiant and moisturizer it was only 20.00

Pros It is so good, it helps with the severe of any acne, trust me this stuff is worth buying...
Cons it burns a little and the smell is very very strong.
Bottom line I have been in the struggle with acne since i hit puberty at age around 13.. i then started growing acne on my back and thats when things got worse for me, i was embarresed to take of my shirt at amusement parks water rides, at a beach and anywhere the shirt had to be takened off. acne causes scars and thats what makes my back look nasty, but thanks too this that have been removing my blemishes, i should soon be able to show it all off.

Pros This stuff works on the big ones!
Cons It is VERY drying and must be diluted; application can be kind of a pain but is worth it.
Bottom line I dip a q-tip in my desert essence 100% Australian tea tree oil, then squeeze drops of the oil onto a moistened cotton ball and apply all over my face. Then I take the q-tip and apply pure, undiluted oil to individual pimples. Has shrunken two huge cysts within about 3 days, but oddly enough is not working as quickly on smaller pimples. Contrary to others, I love the smell (it's herbally and very refreshing) and I like the tingle I get when this stuff is applied. Good stuff, and natural! Better than applying harsh chemicals to your face.

Pros Natural ingredients and affordability.
Cons Hate the smell (but it's worth using).
Bottom line After trying many, many products to try to avoid cystic acne and oil skin, I went to a local store specializing in organic products (Common Market).

I found an antibacterial liquid soap for face and hands that has really worked for me. (The brand name is Tea Tree Therapy.) Other than tea tree oil, the soap also contains aloe vera, chamomile and elderflower - all very good for the skin.

The true test came this month because I usually get a horrible hormone related breakout. It didn't happen at all so I think the product is really working for my skin.

The bottle has a pump on it (very convenient) and holds 8 fl. oz. A little goes a long way!
