K. Jun 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: reduces pustules within a few days Cons: burns, dries out skin Bottom Line: Tea tree oil has helped me reduce the number of pimples, but it's not completely getting rid of it. Plus, I've gotten a boil when I was using tea tree oil. Maybe I need to use it a little longer. Although, I'm not sure if it was worth the $7 for a 1-ounce vial. Recommended: Yes Usage: K. has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 7.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Ashley, Philadelphia, PA Jun 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Dries out acne Cons: Causes migraines. Releases estrogen. Causes breast growth in boys. [link removed] Bottom Line: I really liked this stuff until I started getting massive & unmanageable migraines 3 weeks into using it. (I rarely, if EVER, get headaches). Then my breasts started to become very sore, so I thought I should look up the side affects. Lo & behold, studies have shown that Tea Tree Oil releases estrogen into the body. This would explain the hormonal headaches & breast tenderness. I stopped using it yesterday. Hopefully my hormones will adjust themselves quickly! Scary. Do not use.

emily, USA Jun 22nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: inexpensive, clears zits up QUICK, reduces redness Cons: smells funky, kinda burns/tingles Bottom Line: I swear by tea tree oil. I used to be on EVERY type of acne medication OTC and prescription, proactive, etc. This oil is the one product I love. Just use a Q-tip to put the oil on. I like to put it on in the morning before putting my make-up on...and the redness and size of any pimple goes down almost immediately. Clears up pimples in a couple of days. I also use Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Fash Wash with Tea Tree Oil & Awapuhi twice daily...and once a week I'll wash with the Proactive face scrub. Hope this helps!

Lydia Sellers, Pittsburgh baby! Jun 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: personal exp: Clears up skin, softens, brightens & beautifies! Wonderful, pleasant bold smell. makes pores disappear! Cons: none! :) Bottom Line: why wouldn't you try it! its simply the sh*t. it works for me so its most likly to work for you. i wouldn't recommend it for people with dry skin. i use it sparingly around and on my problem areas.. but my problem areas are disappearing :) i also use Aveeno Ultra calming moisturizer. its great. if you use this combo wait 10 minutes to apply moisturizer or ull burn your face :S but youll be fine. i use Aveeno tone and brighten face scrub. it works great tea tree oil is great Recommended: Yes Usage: Lydia Sellers has used this item for a few weeks.

Amy, Virginia Jun 16th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Its affordable and I feel like it is working fast. I wanted to tell others that I have found something new for acne. It is called HIBICLENS; it contains Chlorhexidine used in surgical procedures and as a surgical wash, it kills microbials on the skin Cons: the same as tea tree oil does. You can buy HIBICLENS at CVS, Rite Aid or walgreens in the band aid aisle in a tourqouis bottle for like 10 bucks. I even was my chest and shoulders in it. Bottom Line: Try it, it is worth a try! Acne is caused by the bacteria on the skin so HIBICLENS should kill it. Recommended: Yes Usage: Amy has used this item for a few weeks.

Meghan Carr-Hilton, Vancouver Jun 15th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: it is good for spot treatment because it dries it out Cons: SMELLS HORRIBLE Bottom Line: it is useful to have around not only for acne but as just an antiseptic possibly for funguses or what not. But be ware of the stench Recommended: Yes Usage: Meghan Carr-Hilton has used this item for a day or two. Price Paid: 12.00 Acne severity: very light Was this comment helpful?

susan, usa Jun 14th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: dries up zits, and easy to use. Cons: dry skin! I don't like the smell very much, it is quite pungent. Bottom Line: I used it for a while and it controlled some of my acne but I was NEVER completely clear. Recommended: Yes Usage: susan has used this item for about a year.

Anonymous, Singapore Jun 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None really. Cons: Dried out my skin, cysts and scars remained where they were even after applying for over a week, not the miracle topical i was hoping for Bottom Line: not sure if i'm being too impatient, but after applying tea tree oil for 3 weeks, nothing seems to be happening to my acne. Recommended: No Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 29.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

maxlightmusic, North America Jun 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It dries up the pimples. Eliminates cysts in just a week or so. Less inflammed breakouts Cons: Causes breakouts (read below to understand) Turns my scars brighter and healing pimples redder. Makes my pimples come to a head Bottom Line: I love this product. This is my BP but better because it doesn't cause as much dryness. I use it as a spot treatment for really big, nasty pimples and cysts. Be warned, I've learnt the hard way that you can only use this as a spot treatment (but mine is100%pure, so I'm not certain about diluted solutions) because at first, it cleared me up quite a bit, but then, I noticed that it started to make me breakout around my mouth. I NEVER BREAK OUT ON MY UPPER LIP. It also caused cysts on my chin and whiteheads on my upperforehead. I have combo skin which is oily on my forehead and especially my nose, but dry on my cheeks and normal-ish on my mouth area. I think the oily parts of my face could handle it but it was too drying for the normal parts of my skin so it caused a lot of irritation and broke me out there. It is also an oil, so putting it on the very oily parts of my skin gave me whiteheads. It's sort of a doubled edged knife in a way. It's a good product but it can turn on you.
