Tea Tree Oil

i don't dilute the stuff at all. just put a little on a cotton ball and apply to my face.within a few days i notice a difference, and i know it's killing bacteria. i use this along with clinique acne solutions and the occasional clay mask. this stuff is a great way to supplement your regimen.

I absolutely LOVE tea tree oil! You can use it in just about everything, not just skin oriented. I first purchased it to make a brush cleanser (6 parts witch hazel, 1 part tea tree oil). The tea tree oil cleanses the brushes as well as conditions it. When using this cleanser recipe it also helps the skin when you're putting on makeup... So knowing tea tree could be used in the face I would spot treat pimples with it. At first the scent was way to strong for me, but I have gotten used to it. I was looking for a cleanser that would clean my pores better but I was having a very difficult time finding one, so I began to add tea tree oil to my purpose cleanser. I use two pumps of cleanser, and with an eye dropper, 3 drops of tea tree oil. This stuff can be extremely harsh on skin if used in 100% form on delicate skin, so it is highly advised by many websites to dilute it. Some say for oily/normal skin use water and for sensitive skin use aloe vera (which also has great skin benefits) Aubrey Organics has the purest gel I could find, besides turning to the type you would drink. Overall, tea tree oil is an amazing product; especially for people who want to go to the all natural route. However, this probably should not be the only thing you use for acne. Exfoliation must occur, so if you want to go all natural google some natural ways to exfoliate the skin to get rid of the sticky, dead skin cells clogging your pores. This is great stuff! *The cost I inputed is for a large bottle of 100% australian tea tree oil from vitaminshoppe

I have been surfing this site for over four years now, and this is the first review I have ever written. I don't trust other reviews because it seems that people are just praying for treatments to work, so they'll write anything on here (even if the product is really ineffective). However, I must say that I am so thrilled with tea tree oil that I felt compelled to write a review. I have a caramel complexion and I get nasty purple marks and bright red marks (it looks weird on someone with skin like mine) after every little pimple. However, with tea tree oil the marks after a pimple are GREATLY reduced if not there at all. This stuff is amazing. If I would've used this instead of BP/SA over the years then I would probably have very few purple/red marks. Anyway, I use this stuff against all the directions I've seen--that is, I apply it UNDILUTED directly from the bottle without mixing it with water. I can't say enough good things about tea tree oil. Seriously, it's amazing.

small drop in Acne.org cleanser. skin tone more even. seems to be preventing breakouts.

I love tea tree oil and pretty much any product with tea tree in it! It always leaves me feeling clean with the knowledge that I haven't applied multiple chemicals to my face! I dot on spots or add a drop to my moisturiser for it's acne fighting effects.

I have had consistent moderate acne and it is extremely stubborn; however, when I started using TTO it finally began to stand down. I used TTO by diluting it with water and applying it as a spot treatment. There is an initial purge at first but don't be scared away by it because it will subside and you will be left with glowing skin. I saw best results when I paired it with Neutrogena natural face wash and OXY's Salicylic Acid face wipes. This combination will work WONDERS. Be sure not to cause irritation by a. not diluting (it will BURN) and b. rubbing vigorously into the skin (just dab it in!). I wish you best of luck. By the way, most of my acne is contained to my t-zone and I have an oily complexion. Don't forget to moisturize because this can be drying.

Tea tree oil can work very well as an acne treatment as it is anti-fungal. However, do use caution as 100% tea tree oil is extremely irritating to the skin (it is actually toxic when ingested). It should always be diluted with another oil such as jojoba or olive oil or even with another facial product such as a toner or moisturizer. My breakouts were minimized after using this once daily for a week. I continue to use it, but only about every two to three days.

This stuff is wonderful! I love it. I used BP and it worked somewhat, but not as quickly as TTO! Also, I can put as much on without worrying about if my skin is going to get burned. If I have a REALLY troubled spot, I take a tiny bit of tissue and drop tea tree oil on it, then place it on the spot. My skin can handle the concentration, some people's may not. FABULOUS STUFF!!!!!!

I drink about 10 glasses of water a day, wash my face once in the morning, once at night and jog a little. I use trublend makeup, with a natural bareminerals powder. I have had terrible acne on my face and shoulders for years. I've attempted to try all the clinique products, and body shop things not to mention the years I tried neutrogena. Going to the dermotologist is expensive and scary with all this new surgery out. Nothing works but 100 percent pure natural tea tree oil. After I wash my face with aveeno clear complexion face wash, I get a few cotton balls and start swabbing my face (cotton balls) and back, when I wake up in the morning, voila! No pimples at all! Your face feels clean, tingly, and vibrant. Drinking water and eating fruit, with your daily tea tree oil swabs, will make your acne vanish, I promise you.

Works great as a spot treatment. I leave it on overnight on inflamed spots and by the next morning, I can bet that the pimple will be much smaller and not noticeable. On acne prone or inflamed areas such as my jawline, I would dilute tea tree oil with water and dab it lightly on the area. I no longer purchase BP as the effects of tea tree oil are exactly the same, and feels less harsh and drying on my skin than BP.
