Pros:even big pimples gone in 2 days, finally have my severe acne under control
Cons:its just GREAT
Bottom Line:I am using it for about a week and finally got my acne under control. I just a had period and got 3 big whiteheads and when I used tea tree oil on them, they were gone in 2 days- I use tee trea oil overnight, at first there was this strange a little burning sensation then nice refreshing one so you can feel this great stuff is working, but as I use it the burning disappears
I use thursday plantation tea tree oil which claims to have 20% more of the active ingredient than the european union standards. Who knows if its really? you cannot measure it :) all I care about is that my horrible acne that was a nightmare is finally under control and now my post inflammatory changes can heal without new pimples (from time to time i still get some) interupting

Pros:I feel very very clean througly... and love the smell...
Cons:As weird as it may sound, it cause me a severe breakout
Bottom Line:I had a few minor pimples to start with, and after using tea tree oil for a week, ( i use the whole tto program from Body Shop ) things just got worse. Now i had zits on my cheek, jawline, chin and forehead.
But my skin is always sensitive, so most things that suit others dont suit me well..

Pros:None for me.
Cons:It burned my skin.
Bottom Line:I'm not sure why, but every time I put it on I had a really severe burning feeling. It was painful, and I ended up throwing the bottle away. I think my skin is just too sensitive for it. That seems to be the problem with a lot of things. I think you should try it though, if it burns then throw it away!

Pros:The best product I have EVER used to clear my skin. PLEASE try this if you are running out of options.
Cons:None. None. And none.
Bottom Line:Where do I begin??? There is nothing bad about this product. It has honestly SAVED MY LIFE. Everyone on here knows how debilitating acne can be, so I think most of you can understand that moment when we find something that we think will end our suffering. I have tried everything short of accutane and drained my savings on expensive treatments (I think I spent almost $2000 on peels, microderm, colonics, vitamins, cleanses, meds, and products) all to no avail. NOTHING worked. Not even a little bit. I was on Antibiotics for 6 months with no help whatsoever. AND THEN I bought a $13 bottle of Tea Tree Oil thinking "What the hell!!!" and it has honestly been a godsend. I have dehydrated DRY skin and it with all the acne treatments it was looking very weathered. Not to mention the scars and hyperpigmentation. Not only is TTO keeping me clear (I hope I don't jinx myself) but it is softening my old marks and it doesn't dry my skin out at all.

Pros:I have used tea tree oil wipes(body shop) on pus filled spots, the wipes lift the pus right off as long as the spot is ripe. Skin feels alot cleaner aswel.
Cons:The problem is using this alone can not get rid of my acne, I take cod liver oil tablets, and i have seen a HUGE difference in my gram negative folliculitis over the last week.
Bottom Line:Its good for topical application, lessens pain, makes you feel abit more fresh.
ALSO BEWARE - i have bought some cheap creams from ebay which use tea tree oil and it only made the acne worse!!!!!! i switched to a brand name cream and the acne was controlled abit better.
Recommended:Yes
