Kitty, North Babylon, NY Aug 30th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Works amazingly. You can feel how clean your skin is afterward. Completely got rid of my blemishes and pimples. I'm now zit-free and am not prone to breakouts as much as I used to be. Cons: People complain about the smell. Frankly, I guess because I've been doing it for years, I like the smell now. It took getting used to, but it definitely wasn't unbearable. Also, it dries your skin, so use a moisturizer afterward. Bottom Line: Tea Tree Oil was recommended to me by a hair stylist I used to go to. I went and bought it at my local pharmacy, tried it, and I really liked the burney, tingley sensation. It didn't hurt, but there was definitely a burning there. After a few minutes my face felt so clean. After a three or four days, my pimples were completely gone. After a week, my face was one even color. No red, no blemishes at all. Now the only time I ever break out is right before I get my period, but I no longer get an embarrassing amount when I do. One or two, which are usually gone in two days max. I always buy 100% Tea Tree Oil. I don't trust products that say they use it in their ingredients. 100% has always worked the best for me. Desert Essence makes a good one.

Anonymous, Atlanta, Georgia Aug 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Completely cleared up my back and I have tried everything. Try it! Cons: I don't mind the smell, I just used it at night. But it can be strong at first. It can also be slightly drying for sensitive skin like mine. Bottom Line: I had backne for forever. I tried prescriptions and everything. I decided to take the natural approach and bought pure 100% tea tree oil. It cleared it up completely within a week. You have to buy "Melaleuca alternifolia" (a certain species that has the healing effect). I just got my bottle from Target (cheap!). I diluted it in water (8 parts water for every 1 part tree tree oil) and poured on a cotton swab. I love it and strongly recommend it.

Joe, Birm, Eng Aug 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I have only just started to use tea tree oil. It feels great and light, it doesn't hurt the skin and already my skin feels lighter and less greasy. Cons: Burns if you get it in your eyes:(, but you'd hae to be stupid like me to manage to. Bottom Line: I use 4-5 drops of 100% tea tree oil in a pump spray bottle mixed with 50ml of distilled (sterile) water, and wash my face with an organic tea tree oil soap, and spray that on afterwards. To close the pores i use Avene water spray (also sterile). This works really well, it feels light and smells, in my opinion, really good. Avene spray is amazing, it dries spots out and cools your face down without the need for you to touch the infected areas. Overall i think it is great. I also drink hot water and lemon twice a day before i eat or drink anything. After an age, trying every different skin care regime ( clinique, clearasil, olive oil, acne.org, dermalogica), this seems to really work. You MUST try this.

Heather, Las Vegas Aug 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Reduces reddness, makes acne less and less noticable. Cons: People say the smell, but i like it. Kinda of a Eucalyptis/ something else smell. Bottom Line: Usually when you get out of the shower acne is red and inflammed... if you apply tea tree oil as soon as you get out of the shower (when your pores are wide open) it works best! It BURNS for about 2-3 minutes. If you CANT handle pain or have sensitive skin DONT do this. As soon as my face completley dried, the redness was already gone, and acne alot smaller. Ive only used this product 2 times(12 hours) and can already see a difference. I use the 100% T.T.O and dont dilute it. My skin is not sensitive at all so its okay for me. I hope it continues to work like it has in the 2 applications ive used! Hope this helps! Recommended: Yes Usage: Heather has used this item for a day or two.

Anonymous, Calgary, Canada Aug 24th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Decreased the amount of oil on my face. Smell was definitely different at first, but got used to it now. Cons: Been using the line from bodyshop and acne isn't clearing up at all, Bottom Line: As all the other products out there, try them and see if they work for you, 'cause everyone has different reactions to products. I actually thought this product would be the one for me, but it's not doing much right now and I feel like moving on from this product.

Jessie, camp lejeune, North Carolina Aug 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It healed my ance up quickly and helped my scars be less visable. Cons: Smells horrible. You get used to the smell. Bottom Line: I used to use straight tea tree oil and brushed it on my blemishes. But it was to strong. The smell was over whelming. The a lady in Hope Mills NC has sells homemade soap and one has Tea tree oil in it. I found her of accedent. [link removed] The soap has other things to sooth your skin so it wont dry out. And it doesnt smell bad. I have white heads, cystic acne and black heads. It helped all of them within a week. And my skin is really soft. I only paid one dollar for the sample which should last you afew weeks. If you also get body acne I recommend getting tea tree oil shampoo. It can be expensive but you can get the generic kind which is really cheap and its the same thing as the expesive ones. Recommended: Yes Usage: Jessie has used this item for about a week.

Tabitha, California Aug 17th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: My acne is almost completely gone.(:&it only took a few days. Cons: stings a bit at first.but no pain,no gain. Bottom Line: My acne is pretty bad.I get cystic acne(acne under the skin.) all the time.It had recently gotten to the point where I would cry because it hurt so bad.I was at Trader Joe's when I noticed their Tea Tree Oil face wash,cleansing pads, and Blemish Stick(Also from tea tree oil.). In about 3 days,my cysts were pretty much gone.I've also been taking Omega 3 fish oil pills.This might be helping too. My skin feels great now,&I can't wait until school starts.

Anonymous, NY Aug 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Makes your skin feel smoother, works FAST, affordable, TRY IT!! Cons: If you had previously popped pimples it will make them look worse at first...so don't pop them! Other than that..nothing. Bottom Line: Im 15, and this is the ONLY product that has worked. I use the tea tree oil pads which is not just straight tea tree oil because I have sensitve skin.Everything else made my acne worse and I got allergic reactions. I have been using it for about a week and my acne is almost completely gone. I used to be so embarrassed because almost everyone I know has completely flawless skin. School starts in a couple of weeks and my face is almost completely clear, I hope this continues to work so I can show my new beautiful skin off!

Birdy, Vancouver, BC Aug 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It started to dry up my pimples almost as soon as I applied it. Works especially well on blind pimples. Takes the redness away and reduces inflammation. Cons: None Bottom Line: I've had acne since I was teen (now 40) and was on antibiotics for years. I've tried so many remedies (i.e. chinese herbs, infrared sauna, shea butter, etc). The first time I tried tea tree oil was years ago from the Body Shop and it didn't work (made my acne worse). I started using New Co. brand yesterday and I can already see an amazing difference.

Elise, Nevada Aug 12th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I started useing it this morning and just applied some before bed, so far it seems to be helping already and its only been like 12 hours. I like the fact that the pain I usually get from my acne is gone right when you apply. Cons: I have very fair and sensitive skin, I'm Irish so I have to be very careful what I use, so far the only con is the strong scent which kinda grows on you, it's very herbie. Bottom Line: I have adult acne, started around when I turned 18 or 19 so I've only been dealing with it for about 5 years and it's very light acne but I get the pustual acne you know the really gross kind that turn into white pus balls on your face gross right? Well I've tryed Pro active, Nutrogena, clean and clear, noxema, clearasil, cetaphil, toothpaste which dries out acne but is only a temporary solution, the only thing that has ever worked for me almost completely is Nature's Cure the pill and cream kit. I am using it along with the tea tree oil. I've been using natures cure for two month's now but 2 years ago I was on it for about a year then like an idiot stop using it because my acne cleared up lol. Recommended: Yes Usage: Elise has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 11.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
