I've always had pimples even into my thirties. I finally realized that when I followed my own advice, they would start to disappear and not return until I messed up...
The following information will cure your pimple issues:
-DRINK A LOT OF WATER;
-Be more conscious about touching your face... don't do it unless you are washing or moisturizing.
-Do not pop or squeeze - fight the urge no matter what!
-Wash your face with a gentle cleanser "for all skin types" before going to bed and when you wake up.
-Try not to wash your face more than 2 times a day. Over drying your skin will cause your pores to produce more oil.
-Be sure to use moisturizer, powder, etc. on your face that are non-comedogenic.
-If you're in your mid-twenties or older, it really does pay to spend a little extra and go for the cleansers at the department store counter.
-Use your favorite tea-tree oil.

"At night, mix a packet of fast-acting yeast with enough tea tree oil to make a paste. Tea tree
oil comes from Australia and is antiseptic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory. Spread over
emerging pimple, and cover with a bandage. Leave on overnight. Yeast causes the pimple
to rise out of skin, while tree oil attacks it. It should be gone in the morning."

That's from [link removed], I just bought some tto and I'm off to try this!

I just tried 100% pure tea tree oil for the first time and I already notice a difference. It smells pretty bad, but besides that, it seems to work better tha everything else I've tried. I've tried all sorts of over-the-counter remedies, differin gel, sulfate cleansers and antibiotics. It tingles pretty strong at first and I definitely feel my skin tightening, but it does not cause the horrible redness that BP does and my cysts started to go down almost immediately. Its only been a day, so I'll keep you posted.

This has worked decently for me, not spectacular, but decent. I do not dilute it with anything I merely wash my face and drop about 3 drops on a cotton ball.Sometimes I will add some jojoba oil to the cotton ball as well if applying to already dry areas. Overall its helped a little and well for me thats a big thing because nothing really helps alot when it comes to my acne.

I brought a tea tree oil moisturizer from Shoppers Drug mart called @mosphere and it works great on *RED SPOTS*.I wash my face daily in the morning and night with cetaphil cleanser then I apply the moisturizer.

I use undiluted tea tree oil every other night, after washing with products containing SA. Be careful to use only with products that don't irritate your skin - throwing on some tea tree over already inflamed/scaling skin will do much more harm than good.

As with anything else, start slow and find the right balance for you.

I've been using diluted, pure tea tree oil topically for the last month or so. I wet the end of a cotton ball and put 5-7 drops on the cotton ball. Then, I spread all over my face. It has got me down to 2-3 pimples a week, and they're usually pretty darn small. It does dry you out substantailly, but hasn't irritated my face enough to break me out further. Also, its a great spot treatment undiluted, really reduces redness and swelling. DO IT.

I just recently started to get acne pretty bad. I was on Ortho-tricyclen Low and that is when I started to get hormonal acne. I tried it for 3 months and my face was horrible. Befor that I was fine, just got the occasional pimples. I am now back on Ortho-tricyclen (the generic) and I have noticed a huge difference, but......I am still getting a few pimples and my red marks wont go away. I feel so ugly without makeup on because my complextion is so gross.
My friend had the same thing and has been using Thursday Plantation Tea Tree for Acne. Her face looks amazing. She said it took about 2 weeks. I went to the store and bought it, hopefully it will work for me too. I will keep you updated.

I use tea tree cream its a bit milder then tea tree oil. works great the one i use is from scent by nature. Its a runny cream and doest smell as strong as the oil and is not greasy. I let it soak in and moisturise with aloe vera cream. at night I use aloe vera gel after using the tea tree. Its working well this routine, would recommend it. (have allso just ordered tea tea and makuna oil, will see how that works to!!)
