Pros:Skin feels comfortable after using the acne wash
Cons:It makes your skin break out even more, and it hurts.
Bottom Line:I bought every single tea tree oil line by Body Shop. At first, i had a tinggling and painful burning sensation on my skin. I thought it was working but i realised i had more acne on my face. i usually break out before my period. But i ended having more pimples than ever.

Pros:Affordable, leaves a clean feeling
Cons:just does not work and smells horrendous.
Bottom Line:I think it doesn;t work at all. Maybe it's just not for me. It's made my face get oilier and break out even more than before I purchased it.
I used the Body Shop's tea tree line. yeah, I don't like it.

Pros:Clears up backne quick! And your face will be healed without any damage later on.
Cons:Your parents might complain of the smell.
Bottom Line:I drink about 10 glasses of water a day, wash my face once in the morning, once at night and jog a little. I use trublend makeup, with a natural bareminerals powder. I have had terrible acne on my face and shoulders for years. I've attempted to try all the clinique products, and body shop things not to mention the years I tried neutrogena. Going to the dermotologist is expensive and scary with all this new surgery out. Nothing works but 100 percent pure natural tea tree oil. After I wash my face with aveeno clear complexion face wash, I get a few cotton balls and start swabbing my face (cotton balls) and back, when I wake up in the morning, voila! No pimples at all! Your face feels clean, tingly, and vibrant. Drinking water and eating fruit, with your daily tea tree oil swabs, will make your acne vanish, I promise you.

Pros:Fast results, reduces redness, clears up acne
Cons:Strong smell, tendency to cause some dryness
Bottom Line:It does have a strong smell, but I really like it. I put it on before I go to bed and it seems my face instantly looks better. The redness is gone and my acne clears up within a couple days. It does have a tendency to cause dryness, but I put wild yam cream on top of it so with the two combined I get wonderful results. Plus, tea tree oil is so much healthier than prescription or store bought stuff.

Pros:Conrols breakouts, dries blemishes quickly, quickens healing of already popped or inflamed blemishes, reduces amount of blackheads over time
Cons:none
Bottom Line:I use a couple drops mixed in with an aloe and glycerin based gel I got in a waxing kit. So far, the combination has worked wonders on my stubborn breakouts and has even helped to accelerate healing on my face, causing all those pits and boxcars-to-be mesh back into my healthy skin. Though not a fan of Neutrogena, I use the Oil- Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Cream Cleanser, I combine this with BeFine's Firming Toner as it contains a natural source of salicylic acid. The gel and tea tree oil I use as a daytime moisturizer, and during the night I use a vitamin c cream with the tea tree. I have 2 spots, but you can thank hormones for that ;)

Pros:It dried up my acne greatly! And my scars are starting to disappear
Cons:My skin's mostly combination, so it can get dry in various areas. So I top it with moisturizer
Bottom Line:I purchased the Daily cleanser, Night Cleanser, Tea Tree Oil, and the Tea Tree Concealer from the Body Shop all on monday night. It is now friday afternoon and all the acne I had on monday completely dried up! It'll break your budget a bit, but it's definitely worth it!

Pros:Reduces redness, my skin is less oily, acne is slowly vanishing, safer than benzoil peroxide, multi-purpose (cuts, bites, ect.).
Cons:Has a strong smell, but I got used to it.
Bottom Line:Well, I was on BP for about a year, then found some distrubing things about long-term use of BP. I tried other natural product, but just broke out worse. Then, I found out that BP makes your acne more resistant. I then started using tea tree oil (undiluted) and my acne is slowly fading, Had some whiteheads come up, but left them alone and they are gone! I have combo skin, so it dries out the normal parts of my face a bit, so I use an oil-fre moisturizer. Once my acne is competely cleared up, I will dilute the oil and just use the 100% for spot treatment. While tea tree oil has been link to some other things (rare estrogen production, sesitization), I would rather have that than premature aging and tumors growing on my face (from BP). Even "natural products", you would be surprised as to some of the harmful chemicals in them. The Body shop line has restricted ingredients. So far, tea tree oil has the least amount of risks I have found and it seems to be doing great!

Pros:after washing my face with a tea tree oil face wash my face feels very clean and fresh. it also makes my skin less oily
Cons:did not clear up my acne at all. it actually has gotten(sp?) worse since i've been using this product.
Bottom Line:i went to the body shop and bought a t.t.o face wash, night lotion, face mask, and 100% t.t.o. they said i should see clearer skin in one week but i didnt. i liked the fact that it was all natural but overall it didnt really work. also my acne is not bad, i just get a few pimples once in a while and tea tree oil didnt even help that! my skin now has alot more acne
