Cons:
Smells odd
Oily
The product that I use is 100% pure. The brand name is East Cape and I got mine from Koru Naturals. As a spot treatment, this is a great product if you do not mind putting oil on your face. However I would not recommend it for all over use because the bottle only contains a small amount. Additionally try not to use too much of it at once because I found that it started to clog my pores when I went overboard with it- a little drop goes a long way. I found that this works best when blended into a clay mask and used once or twice a week as a way to maintain clear skin.

Pros:
works, doesn't smell as bad as TTO
Cons:
hard to find, expensive
I started off with TTO but it burned my skin and eyes so bad even dilluted that I switched to manuka oil just last week. Seems to work just as much without the smell or the burn. I added it to my jojoba oil to try out a new delivery method. I wash with dr bonners soap 2x a day and then apply the jojoba/vit E/manuka oil with a cotton ball. I do a scrub/steam/mask a couple of times a week also and have treated with calamine lotion at night for bad flare ups. I'm not perfect yet but I've been doing this for a couple of weeks and it is improving without the nasty BP that my skin disliked so much.

Pros:
Fantastic
Cons:
none
steam burn on my hands severly. The burn medicine from the hospital didn't relieve my pain, My mother kept insisting I try Manuka oil, just a little she said. Finally I let her put it on my hands. Wow.. healed my skin, removed my pain.

Pros:
I feel the manuka oil dries the acne out faster than it normally would on its own, so a quicker break out period. I also use a soap that has a little manuka oil in it, to try and prevent break-out because of the anti-bacterial activity.
Cons:
I have been using Manuka for a lot of different applications for 10 years, and never have had an issue. More recently in my thirties developed an acne issue.
I feel like the acne I suffer from is hormone/stress/diet related. So this is a good natural product that I wont expect to be the miracle without side-effects thing that everybody looks for, but a good natural alternative that has helped me a lot. I recommend [link removed], they have great pure manuka oil, Manuka honey 15+, and a wonderful soap.

Pros:
A little goes a long way ! This is a natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, cure all that i use also for my adult acne.
Cons:
The smell is not as bad as Austrailian tea tree, and not as harsh. Not really any cons for such a great natural product.
Its worth a try, but if your acne is very severe, a diet change/cleanse might also help.

Manuka oil and jojoba
I used a lotion with jojoba oil and manuka oil i got online and it has been great. Nearly all signs of acne are gone. I preferred to apply it at night before bedtime as I dont like using oils and it has left my skin super smooth.

Saved my skin
I didn't know if my skin problem was acne or fungal related but this has made a big difference. It has also evened my skin tone and given it a bright, clear appearance. NZ East Cape Manuka is definitely the best.
Pros:
Quickly:
Reduces inflammation
Shrinks blemishes
Over time:
Improves the texture of the skin
Prevent new blemishes from forming
