| Pros | Will dry up a pimple quickly! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Do not apply too much, can burn skin and make a scar |
| Bottom line | Bottom Line is that Tea Tree Oil does work to help dry up pimples by reducing bacteria. It does take a few times of applying neatly to get it to dry up, but works better than any OTC topical creams or gels out there. Mix with your cleanser for the elimation of bacteria while cleansing. Use a Q-Tip and apply directly on the pimple. |

| Pros | dries spots in a few hours of use |
|---|---|
| Cons | doesnt get rid of persistant spots. doesnt stop spots from coming up either. bit it does reduce redness almost instantly |
| Bottom line | my spots leave really bad marks, sometimes its more the marks which are the problem then the actual acne. so its quite good. |

| Cons | Smells very strong |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | I decided to try this as a last effort as i dont have medical insurance now and cant afford the derm and the medicine prescribed that never works. I use neutrogena extra gentle cleanser followed by Braggs Apple cider vinegar 50/50 with water, and 100% TTO mixed 50/50 with pure Vit. E oil. every night. I almost died the first night because of the smell. I get migranes but thankfully this didnt and has yet to throw me into one. After the first night i woke up and it was bizzare to realize my face didnt hurt from the acne. Ive noticed that my acne has become more manageable but it hasnt completely gone away. I find that the TTO brings things to a head so dont freak if you see it in the morning. I found it at a local store for 8.99 (.5 oz) and at another store for 5.99 (1 oz) shop around! I only apply 1-2 times daily but i have seen other TTO products suggest 5-7 applications a day. Again it is a strong smell but after a few days it is bearable. |

| Pros | works without making brown spots after pimple darker |
|---|---|
| Cons | stinks |
| Bottom line | I mix this with noxzema in my hand in the shower. I also use 30% glycolic peel every 1-2 weeks for about 5-10 min (my skin is not sensitive at all) Green tea also works. I drink it and either apply the bag to my skin or break open a green tea tablet, mix it with water and rub that on overnight (this worked best!) I've been doing this for about a week almost all my redness and inflamation is gone and no new bumps have popped out :-). I think the peel has a lot to do with it though. I used it a few months ago and my skin cleared up then I ran out and bought some TCA which obviously didn't work. I read Glycolic is one of the only ones that can get in your pores. Wish I knew that b4! If it aint broke dont fix it... |

| Pros | Best product so far. I tried Tee Tree Acne Wash and since i had dry/oily skin i used Aubrey Natural Herbal Mostrizer. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I haven't had anything so far. |
| Bottom line | I have had acne since i was 12 and now I'm 26. I have used everything from Proactive to you name it. I have went to the dematolgist and the things they prescribed burned my face and irrated my skin. I have spent 100's of dollars and i came across a nice lady in Salem, VA name Stacey at the Herbal store and she took time with me and helped me find a soultion. Everything i use is natural and organic. So if you haven't tried this please do. I wouldn't lie to you becaseu i have bad bad extremly bad skin and i wish you can see for yourself. I'm very happy with the results. |

| Pros | Works quickly, Antibacterial properties, extremely effective on some (but not all types of zits), studies indicate that a 5% solution is as effective as benzoyl peroxide and less irritating for some people. A little goes a long way. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can be drying, sting, or be otherwise irritating for some people, shouldn't be used full strength (dilute to at most 25%), Strong medicinal smell is hard to disguise, Careful with open wounds or sensitive skin (spot test first!) |
| Bottom line | I have used Derma-E's tea-tree (25%)and vitamin E (75%) concoction as a spot treatment for two years now (you can probably find it or something similar at your local health food store or co-op). It really seems to work well on the acne I get on my neck, with some cystic zits vanishing within the day (no marks left over, either...weird). Somewhat effective on my face, too, but not nearly so "miraculous". I did try this briefly for about a month as an all-over treatment/preventative, and it cleared be up somewhat, but not completely (prescriptions are the only thing that can do that for me so far), probably due to the fact that my acne is mostly hormonal. It is the best over the counter remedy I've tried. I suggest diluting it, or finding a preparation that is already diluted, since full strength is way too drying/irritating for the skin, and isn't likely to get any better results (a lot like benzoyl peroxide in that sense). |

| Pros | gets rid of acne, any kind |
|---|---|
| Cons | leaves face very dry |
| Bottom line | i have been using tea tree oil soap for about 5 days, but within the first day that i started with this a big difference can be seen, and everyday it gets better. i got the soap at vitamin world 3 for $6.00, but this is not the only thing that i use...here is my morning and night process: morning: -wash face with tea tree oil -apply benzaclin where i have acne which is on my jaw line and a bit of eucerin moist. night: -wash face with tea tree oil -apply mask of baking soda that i do with water only and apply it where i have acne and once in a while to whole face it works for redness -use benzaclin on problem area... this steps have helped me alot with my acne. i have used many products, but got this from reading reviews from this web site and i'm happy very happy with my results... thanks to all who share their regimens... really try using the tea tree oil soap, i read that the oil is good also but i wanted to change cleanser.. will keep you posted |

| Pros | Tea Tree Oil is a natural antibacterial. The Body Shop has an amazing TTO based line. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Overuse can cause dryness. May break out worse at first, but give it a few weeks. |
| Bottom line | This is an awesome natural replacement for harsher acne treatments. It was actually used in World War II as a wound antibacterial for soliders. |

| Pros | Shrinks pimples ,especially whiteheads and dry outs zits quickly. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The smell isn't great. |
| Bottom line | It works, I didn't dilute it and used it as a spot treatment, my skin was already dry so I can't say it dried my face out but I read it gets better with more use. |
