Has anyone here tried Tea Tree Oil to treat acne?
This is what I'm currently using: [Edited link out]
These are the articles that inspired me to use it: one, and two
And here is my progress:
Day 1:
(The angle of the left side photo is different than the right to show the difference. For some reason, my acne is almost all on the left side.)
Day 2:
This looks probably like my best skin day in 2 years. No inflammation. Less redness. Still scaring and scabs, but much better.
Day 4:
(right now..)
This is what happens after just a little picking. These aren't as good quality pictures because its before work, and I'm in a rush- but stress has a big effect on me. No bragging or bitching, it just is. I pick my face constantly, and am lucky to have what I have. I may have backslid a little on progress because of it.
So tell me what you think, and if you've used Tea Tree oil before. For me, it seems to be working, and I have tried A LOT of stuff- so I am pleased thus far. Also, if you have acne similar to mine, and can think of causes or suggestions- let me know!
Thanks for reading my first post
it looks like it is working for you! my favorite products are desert essence thoroughly clean face wash with awapuhi and burts bees blemish touch stick. Ive never had good luck with straight tea tree oil or mixing it in moisturizer. but the face wash is the best thing ive found with tea tree. seriously cleans out my pores. in the winter i use their thoroughly clean face wash for dry skin. they work really well.
