This DOES work
I've had severe acne for about 2 years now and I have tried the expensive spot treatments like freederm, clean and clear etc but they have never worked, just dried out my skin! I just bought TTO from tesco for only £1 and I bought it about a week ago and I use it at night along with using aloe Vera gel on the day and I apply a drop to clean fingers and put it on the red inflammed spots, I'm the morning the redness has gone down and by the next day, the spot has almost gone! Really recommend this! WARNING: when applying this it gives a strong burning sensation but it goes away after five minutes, not suitable for sensitive skin as it can cause burns!!

Amazing
This product is the best natural treatment I've used yet. I don't use this particular brand, but still a 100% tea tree oil product. I've used several different homemade facials and treatments, and none of them come even close to this. It does not dry or irritate my skin and it helps reduce redness. I've heard its just a spot treatment, but I use it all over my face at times to keep new acne from forming. I used to have moderate acne, but thanks to tea tree oil, I now only have very light acne. This is a life saver! Many people strongly suggest diluting this product, I say don't. It says right on the bottle that it can be used directly on pimples. I just dip a cotton swab onto the bottle and apply. It can be a bit pricey, but it works and one bottle can last a long time. I like to use this after my shower in the evenings and sleep with it on. I normally leave it on all the next day, but it will make your face oily. I recommend this product to everyone and it is a must try.

Thurday Plantation's Organic100% Tea Tree Oil is THE Best and safest acne treatment EVER!!!

Pros:

Potent, highly effective & natural
Can apply all over face/ many uses, not just acne
Helps heal skin damage/ stop skin cancer

I used Thursday Plantation's Tea Tree Oil all over my face and it cured my acne 100%. Don't use ANY harsh chemical acne products/ washes/ pills or you'll ruin your skin/ health long-term !!! Stick with100% natural remedies. TTO is the best all over topical for acne. I also used 100% lavender oil as a spot treatment only (too drying and harsh to use all over face). NB Use Thursday Plantations 100% Rosehip oil at night (and in the morning) to hydrate, soothe, heal, rebuild, strengthen your skin and make it glow with health (great for scars/ rosacea/ wrinkles/ burns/ aging/ hydraton lines etc too). If you need extra help for moderate/ severe scarring try the short 0.25mm skin needling from [link removed].au with beta glucan liquid from New Directions or do a vigorous facial massage for at least 30 - 60 minutes everyday for 2 weeks (you could try the Wellbox too, I have not used it yet, but it looks quite good). Lastly, only cleanse with sea salt + water or a gentle natural cleanser (like New Directions' Gentle Lotion Cleanser). Eat very healthy & nutrient dense foods i.e. vegan, mostly raw, wholefoods, organic, quinoa, broccoli, dried apricots with sulphur/ sulphites and fresh, chia seeds, sprouted foods, microgreens, wholefoods, superfoods, rice, lebanese bread or seeded bread (but not often to avoid gluten), baked potato/ sweet potato, scoop of chlorella/ spirulina/ barley grass/ wheat grass in fresh juice daily, salads with fresh lemon juice & evoo & salt + pepper, nuts/ seeds/ lentils/ chickpeas, sea vegetables, hummus, red onion, garlic, unhulled tahini, figs, tempeh, dark vegan 85% chocolate, avocado, turmeric, fresh herbs/ thyme/ coriander/ mint/ flat parsley, raw kale, berries, strawberries, beetroot, carrot, pumpkin, spinach leave salad etc. Take a quality potent multivitamin/ mineral daily, 2000- 3000 mcg of B12 weekly, kelp for iodine, flaxseed oil and drink fresh veg/ fruit juices or spring water daily. [Also get a little natural sunlight on your body/ face daily without sunscreen for vitamin D/ sleep in a dark, cool room, and make your bedroom/ home hygienic, dust free and clean]. Furthermore, AVOID, dairy, tap water, fluoride toothpaste (use herbal/ mineral toothpaste), GMO, processed sugar, corn syrup, gluten, pasta, canned foods, foods in BPA & other plastic containers, processed sauces/ processed foods, meats/ fish/ eggs (usually filled with toxins like pesticides/ heavy metal/ gases/ dyes/ diseases/ GMO/ antibiotics/ hormones etc), junk food, chips, fried food, microwave foods, sodas, aspartame, coffee, tea, vinegar etc; research new health information, great places to start is [link removed].au and [link removed] . I also found success with Steiva A (Retin A) .05% for rough skin texture, however, I'm only using rosehip oil now...please only consider Steiva A if you have severely damaged or aged skin as it is potent and can thin/ damage your skin. Do not use if you are young or have only light scarring/ acne. Also, only consider very light glycolic peels if you have severe scarring/ skin damage every 2 weeks for a few months, then stop for a few months - do this for a year ONLY (i.e. start at 10% and maybe work your way to 25% after 6 to 12 months of VERY careful use and rare usage) and ONLY if you have very severe/ all over acne scarring or you could burn your skin and severely damage it badly. However, If you burn your skin, see a professional for treatment immediately and use healing burn scar topicals with beta glucan, like New Directions' Beta Glucan Liquid and Thursday Plantations 100% Rosehip oil. Cheers!

Pros:

Clears up acne
Works fairly quickly
Doesn't have as many side effects as chemicals like benzoyl peroxide

Cons:

Strong smell (may be offensive to some people)
Stings for a minute after application

My acne is light, but it is all over my face and is persistent. I also tend to get red marks/scars on my cheeks. After using tea tree oil for only five days, I have already noticed significant improvement. Not only do I have less active pimples, but my red marks and scars are fading as well and my skin tone is more even. I apply tea tree oil in the evening only, after washing my face. I squeeze out a quarter-sized blob of aloe vera gelly, then add three drops of oil and put this mixture all over my face. It does smell very strong but I have gotten used to it. THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED MY ACNE!!!!

Pros:

Has taken the redness and selling down from cystic acne flare-ups.

Cons:

None. I like the strong scent!

I break out from absolutely everything, and freak out when I hear the word "oil" (tea tree oil) for my face! I was desperate and searching for something new and this has been great in only 2 days! I've applied it about 5/day w/great results! I always have some form of acne, buth thankfully cystic acne flareups are rare these days (I'm 40), but VERY common in my 20's and 30's. I've tried accutane, retin A,sulficetimide (sp?), climdimycin, aczone, every OTC med for acne, etc. I never would have believed tea tree oil would make a difference,but it has...I wish I tried this crap sooner :) I had large painful cysts next to my nose and on my smile line AND one on my chin (huge one)...I apllied this stuff for the last couple days and ALL of them are much smaller and the redness is almost gone. It stung at first, but went away fast!

Pros:

Works great on ACNE

Cons:

smells strongly

I used to have really clear skin, then recently due to stress, I began to break out and before I knew it, I had acne that I could not control. I was embarrassed by my face!! Even my family started telling me that I needed to get something for my face. I tried other over the counter acne treatments and nothing helped my stress related acne. I remembered that I had tea tree oil and started using it. Within 3-4 days my face cleared up remarkably!! I have been using the tea tree oil for about a week now and my face looks a great deal better and even the scars I had are vanishing. I will continue using my tea tree oil, and I will recommend it to anyone wanting clear skin!!

great product

Pros:

clears up acne fast
starting to fade dark spots
brings pimole to the surface fast

Cons:

dryes out skin for the first week

I'm 16 years old ,& I'm a sophomore in high school . I just started breaking out bad this year . Last year I would only get a few pimples ever now and then . But I've being using bp for about 3 months now and bp worked great. But I decided to see if their was any other products as great as bp . So I cam across tea tree oil . I've been using it for 2 weeks now and my friends have came up to me and told me my face has been clearing up . So I would say this product is great

Pros:

Smells nice
easy to put on
does not irritate skin
works effectively
no 'new' acne spots since using this

Cons:

The small bottle does run out very quickly

Ive used so many products from creams to tablets and nothing worked. So i thought to give this a shot and im glad i did, I used sudocrem when i had big acne spots which decreased the size then i used tea tree oil which made the spots smaller and less visible. good product! worth a try!
