Lavender oil is cytotoxic, capable of killing skin cells, and like most other essential oils, it can cause rashes and photosensitivity even in very small amounts.

This happened to me before. I made my own moisturizer with lavender essential oil not knowing how it would effect my skin and I ended up getting a big rash on my chin and upper lip area next to my nose. Defiantly be cautious when using for the first time and test it out before fully committing to using it all the time.

Pros:

soothing

Cons:

I personally do not enjoy the smell at all..
haven't seen much of an improvement

I usually use diluted tea tree oil on my face and I found some lavender oil around the house and decided to dab a few drops into my lil bottle. I will wait to see if I see any results from using this, but I have broken out pretty bad this week (premenstrual hormones). Ive heard good things about Lavender, so try it out if you got nothing else to lose. I just personally really dislike the smell. I always have since I was a little girl. Yuckyy lol

Pros:

Smells good
Not greasy

Cons:

redness continous
did not prevent pimples
scars did not reduce

i have tried lavender oil for 3 weeks and i don't see any improvement. Maybe it works differently for individuals. My pimples still came out despite applying day.and night. I thought it can reduce scar marks, but honestly i did not see any marks lightened. It smells great though, making me sleep better at night

Pros:

Nice smell, easy to find, not too expensive.

Cons:

Really set my skin off. Made my acne much worse.

I won;t be using this again and will probably avoid products which have this as a main ingredient. It's a shame. I was looking forward to using this after reading reviews but it really did not suit my face.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Didn't work.

I bought a little bottle of pure organic lavender oil at Wholefoods. I tried it for about 3 weeks, but did not see any results whatsoever. I still got new pimples and the old ones didn't go away. I have not tried this, however, on squeezed pimples. I'm trying not to squeeze them to prevent bad scarring. So I don't know its drying effects on squeezed pimples. I have tried applying small amounts, and have also increased the dosage by applying a drop each to my forehead, cheeks and chin in the morning and at night before going to sleep, but have seen no results.
