Pros Its helps
drys out spots
use all over face, body, hair
Cons Its not a cure
Bottom line Buy it online $3, so much cheaper than a drug store.
I put it on all over my face at night, all the time. I believe it helps when mixed into your moisturiser or something. But dab extra on aswell by itself.
Don't get near eyes.
Its very drying and an antibacterial agent, natural healing.

Pros Dries up oily skin
Keep shine away for awhile
Smells good
Seems to diminish acne
Cons Exacerbates wrinkles if you have them
Bottom line I recently have had my acne come back after almost 5 years gone for seemingly no reason. (I am 26). Desperate to try anything that would work, (I have tried everything on the market in the past, antibiotics, birth control, topical creams, benzol peroxide, apple cider vinegar, except for Accutaine) I picked up some tea tree oil from the local natural food co-op after reading such positive reviews on this site. I have only been using for a week, and I can say that does seem to be helping! To use, I wet a cotton pad and add 2 to 3 drops on TTO and apply as a toner. I have been doing this morning and night. After just a few days, my complexion does look much clearer. The only con is that if you have wrinkles (I have worry lines on my forehead) the drying nature of the oil will exacerbate them. This is pretty lame, but at this point I would rather be pimple free than wrinkle free. My advice to anyone is to give this stuff a try! I read a lot of people didn't like the smell, but I love it! Hope this review helps someone!

Pros Can help dry out zits and leave your skin feeling cool and soft
Cons Made my face break out in a swollen pimple like rash, and very red and irritated
Bottom line Basically, If you have sensitive skin like I do, be careful using tea tree oil, it's VERY drying, and made my face 100x worse. I would recommend it to people who don't have a problem with drying.

Pros many many uses*Smells good*Good for on the go*Natural*potent*And"relief"
Cons For people that dont like the smell,they can pick some spearmintand mix them!!!They work together great...Perfect combo!
So I guess there arnt any cons!!!!
Bottom line I figured out that this essential oil is great for the skin.If your skin is too greasy,It dries it out.And If your skin is too dry,then it moisturizes it.It perfectly ballences out your skin and gives your skin a healthy soft and clean look.I put tea tree oil on my shopping lists.Thats essential!!

I also get relief from this oil for pain.I ride bikes for long distances and often time feel sore...This oil relieves the soreness of my muscles.I also used to have stinky feet.Tea tree oil used like a lotion on my feet compleatly got rid of the foot funk in just about a week!IThis is officially the 2nd christmas that I didnt get an oder-eater in my stalking!!!!!!

I bring this oil in my back pack because sometimes I forget something like deoderant and rub some on my underarms.Not only does it kill bacteria and help you not smell bad but it helps clear out your sweat pores(has penetrant)(good for you)

I like to go camping as a part of my bike ridding and masquitos and ticks are a pain.I dont always have accses to garlic or eucaliptus leaves.I always have some tea tree oil in my backpack!This oil repells both ticks and mosqitos and many more!

I was written on with a sharpie marker and the soap and water didnt work too great.Guess what did?yes!As soon as it hit the ink It began to smear.I wiped it away very easyly.(penetrant)Its also tough on grease.(oil on hands from working on cars/bikes)
It removed a blood stain on my pants!
I use this oil for random things.
GOOD SURVIVAL USES!
GOOD FOR HOME USES!
GOOD FOR BEAUTY USES!
GOOD ANYWARE!(GOOD TO GO)
ARE YOU GOOD TO GO????
I sure am!!!
Bottom line: I <3 TEA TREE OIL INDEED<3

Pros Feels great
No chemical side effects
Good for your skin
Works on cystic acne
Cons Strong smell
Bottom line I'm 29 years and have chronic, moderate cystic acne along and under my jaw line. I've tried every product and prescription in the world, and nothing is like pure, 100% natural tea tree oil. I pour a small amount into my palms, rub my hands together and then along the affected areas. I can do this several times throughout the day and each time I instantly feel a relief. I began using tea tree oil in this way about 2 weeks ago, and all of the cysts have shrunk in size and most are no longer raised on my skin at all. There is still some redness, but every day it's improved a bit more. This is something NO OTHER MEDICATION has ever been able to do for me! I'm sold.

Pros Clears up acne
Works fairly quickly
Doesn't have as many side effects as chemicals like benzoyl peroxide
Cons Strong smell (may be offensive to some people)
Stings for a minute after application
Bottom line My acne is light, but it is all over my face and is persistent. I also tend to get red marks/scars on my cheeks. After using tea tree oil for only five days, I have already noticed significant improvement. Not only do I have less active pimples, but my red marks and scars are fading as well and my skin tone is more even. I apply tea tree oil in the evening only, after washing my face. I squeeze out a quarter-sized blob of aloe vera gelly, then add three drops of oil and put this mixture all over my face. It does smell very strong but I have gotten used to it. THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED MY ACNE!!!!

Pros Natural Treatment
Cost Effective
Versatile
Keeps my skin feeling clean
Cons Smells like Gasoline
Must be diluted
Bottom line I absolutely LOVE tea tree oil! You can use it in just about everything, not just skin oriented. I first purchased it to make a brush cleanser (6 parts witch hazel, 1 part tea tree oil). The tea tree oil cleanses the brushes as well as conditions it. When using this cleanser recipe it also helps the skin when you're putting on makeup... So knowing tea tree could be used in the face I would spot treat pimples with it. At first the scent was way to strong for me, but I have gotten used to it. I was looking for a cleanser that would clean my pores better but I was having a very difficult time finding one, so I began to add tea tree oil to my purpose cleanser. I use two pumps of cleanser, and with an eye dropper, 3 drops of tea tree oil. This stuff can be extremely harsh on skin if used in 100% form on delicate skin, so it is highly advised by many websites to dilute it. Some say for oily/normal skin use water and for sensitive skin use aloe vera (which also has great skin benefits) Aubrey Organics has the purest gel I could find, besides turning to the type you would drink.

Overall, tea tree oil is an amazing product; especially for people who want to go to the all natural route. However, this probably should not be the only thing you use for acne. Exfoliation must occur, so if you want to go all natural google some natural ways to exfoliate the skin to get rid of the sticky, dead skin cells clogging your pores. This is great stuff!

*The cost I inputed is for a large bottle of 100% australian tea tree oil from vitaminshoppe
