Tea tree oil Reviews

I have had acne on my back for the past 8 years. I always had at least one spot (and I was always so grateful it was just the one!)on my back. 4 weeks ago, I started applying essential tea-tree oil with some cotton wool on my back. Its worked great! A week after starting, the condition of my back improved and now its clear apart from a few blackheads and scars from spots of long ago. I have to say though that tea tree oil was too harsh for my face. It burned and dried it out but its just right for my back.

I dab the 100% on my face and leave it on for about an hour. It stings and dries it out but then I wash it off and put on face lotion and usually i'm 100% clear.

Good old teatree! Ive only stated this 3 days ago and have had no new acne breakout! Considering I have had some every day for over a year this is incredible!!
I have tried all sorts of topical ointment, scrubs, facial washes to no avail! Even dermalogica didnt work for me!
Tea tree seems to me the biz though.
I simply use 100% essential oil, diluted with a touch of water simply to help with application (can also use carrier oil) and then apply it with a cotton bud (ear cleaning variety) lightly all over!!
Doesnt seem to dry my skin either but it is early days.

I have been using this product for about a week. I always get a few cystic pimples on my chin area, and this product has really helped in preventing new ones from forming! I definitely recommend. I use proactiv benzoyl peroxide face wash, skip the other proactiv products in the system, and apply tea tree oil all over my face after cleansing. I haven't had any new breakouts since! I also use the neutrogena at-home microdermabrasion kit (it cost $40, but its worth it), 3 days a week and it really helps give you a healthy glow!

I've tried a bazillion treatements since I started breaking out my frosh year of college. Tea tree has been my most realiable solution. It has not gotten rid of all my acne but it keeps it under control and works very well with other treatments, like flaxseed, or benzol peroxcide.
I have found that products that contail tea tree don't help, mostly they just dry me out. But the oil strait up works wonders. I use thursdays plantation, though I have had good luck with all brands that are not dessert essence (who knows why?) I put it on my fingers, two or three drops, and rub it in all over my face. In the winter when my skin is more dry I put some sweet almond oil on over it. Deffinatly try it and see how it workds for you.

Works pretty good. 100% broke me out after a few weeks, but diluting it down to 10% works much then same and doesn't do that. I find it slightly drying without going overboard. It's a preventative, but also useful for spot-treating, you can use it several times per day if needed. Quite cheap (if you buy 100% and dilute yourself) and good. Recommended.

I wanted to believe in tea tree oil but I found it burned like alcohol and was very irritating to my sensitive skin. Even products formulated with it are harsh. They might be good for those with oily skin.
I notice that many people on here rate products after using them just a short time--sometimes only once. Usually you won't get a bad reaction (or a good one) after such a short time. Unless a product is very irritating to you, you need to give it a couple weeks, starting with less and increasing the amount. So I tend to trust the reviews based on continued use.

Im a male, 23, fair complexion. I have been using Tea Tree oils since my first outbreak of Acne at the age of 16. I got rid of it completely and suddenly I faced hair loss and acne days back again. Its a recurring case of Acne. I am again using Tea Tree oil 100% by Tisserand and then I apply freshly cut Aloe Vera. It works really great. If tea tree dries up the skin, apply a fresh cut Aloe Vera in the night. No need for any moisturisers cuz they too contain some chemicals. You cant compare natures remedy with all these medicated stuff.

I absolutely love tea tree oil. I buy it in a castile soap combo and it really does reduce any inflammations and give me skin a glow. My skin looks better using this than it did with all of the perscription things such: as BP, Differn, and interal antibotics... honestly! I am glad to have pretty skin now!

tea tree oil is so drying. it gets rid of your pimple but it also dries your skin up so bad. it might be good if you have the odd pimple or two.. use it as spot treatment. but if your whole face is covered with spots.. it's really not the right solution. diluted, it doens't work for me.. concentrated, it's too drying.. so... :(
