Tea Tree Oil

I use the whole Tea Tree line from the Body Shop, and it's worked wonders for me. But I'm going to say this above all else: Unless you have very oily skin, DON'T USE IT. Drier skin seems to be more sensitive to TTO than, say, my own. (As proven by my friend who decided to use it when she had a bad breakout...) Otherwise, if you have oily, very acne-prone skin, it's wonderful. Just don't expect a "miracle overnight" result. It won't happen.

I have been using it as a spot treatment and that worked great. So i added a drop or two to my cleanser, which worked great too. Unitl the 3rd day and now I have an awful rash all over my face. Red spots everywhere. So be careful. I thought my skin was used to it, but I guess not. Stick to using it as a spot treatment, or buy a cleanser where it is ONE of the ingredients..... Moral of the story: Be careful. Just because I had an allergic reaction doesn't mean you will too, but seriously, test it for a long time. The emotional damages from this is far worse than a few spots.

I have been using tea tree oil for about 4 weeks now, and its awesome. BP was just too harsh on my skin and instead decided to give TTO a try. After a week i noticed its powers on the pimples that i had. Some say that it burns, but to me its more like an "Icy" feeling that goes away quickly. I very much like that feeling on my skin because i know that it is working. I haven't had such smooth & clear looking skin since Junior High!!! Regimen: I use it 2 - 3X a day. I add some drops to my gel cleanser and massage my face. Pat dry. I use Witch Hazel as a toner. Finally, i again add some drops to my moisturizer and off i go. Bonus: Try using it with Aloe Vera Gel. No itchy, redness, or flaky skin. Soft, smooth, even toned 8 )

I have used Acutane, prescription drugs, prescription gels/creams, antibiotic pills, Neutragena, Clear and Clean. all that OTC feces and just made my face even worst. Oh I forgot I also used Proactive for about a whole year and I never saw the results I am seeing with Tea Tree Oil Tea Tree Oil really works. I have extremely severe ACNE and this product is the only one that has ever work for me and I have had acne since I was 12 years old, I am now 20. I used this Tea Tree Oil since Dec. 1 and I am very happy with the result, I still have a bit of pimples but they will be gone in 1-2 days. Try it!! IT REALLY WORKS!!!!!!

I have had mild acne since I was 12. Recently, at 17 years old, I noticed a hard lump under my skin near my upper lip, which I later found out was a sebaceous cyst. I had had this cyst for approximately six months when I came across tea tree oil. I applied the oil each night for about two weeks without diluting it, and eventually the cyst formed a pore. I was able to pop the cyst and it has never come back since! Before using TTO I was contemplating having the unsightly cyst surgically removed which had the potential to cause a scar. With TTO, no scar formed and my skin went back to normal. TTO caused a little dryness but the end result was worth it.

This does get rid of spots and redness but over a long period of time. I find that I can't use it every day because my skin gets dry. Would recommend to those with oily / combination skin. I use the Boots own brand 100% oil and I don't dilute it, I simply apply 3 drops of it on a cotton bud and wipe it directly on my spots. Do not use it all over your face as it could severely dry it out. I would use this again however I find that I would use this every other day at most

I have been using 25% strength TTO and it's working wonders. I have a problem with overdrying and used to do avocado masks to keep my skin moisturized '" so when I saw avocado oil right next to the tea tree at Target, I thought- okay, it's an unconventional carrier oil, but I bet it will work- I was right!!!! My method for cleansing is essentially based on the oil cleansing method: I dilute 5ml TTO for every 15 ml Avocado Oil, which is known for being moisturizing. I steam my face over just boiled water to open the pores. I the massage about 5 ml of my oil mixture onto my face for about 2 minutes. I then exfoliate with sugar (the oil prevents the skin from tearing during this process!) and use a really hot washcloth to steam the remaining oil off my face. My skin feels soft at the end, and moisturized without feeling greasy. If you have a problem with overdrying I highly recommend this method- my acne improves significantly overnight! Literally just the other night as I was going through my ritual my giant angry pimple on my forehead was much calmer after just rinsing off- not to mention the next day! And I usually suffer from redness right after cleansing! I do this once a day before bed. It is a process but so far in my experience it is worth it! I am 23 and still struggling with acne, and I am getting married soon so this started as a last ditch effort to battle acne and turned into so much more. Very happy.

I had just got my nosed pierced in July and it was fine for about a month and a half. Late august I developed a bump literally right on my nose piercing which could sometimes be called a keloid. Tried everything from sea salt soaks, to creams and syrums to get rid of this horrible bump but nothing worked as great as I thought it would. Finally I heard of tea tree oil, bought it an organic shop down the street yesterday, worked like a charm. The bump went from ginormous to nearly gone. Also cleared up most of my acne scars. I definitely recommend this product! Hope this helped! Xoxo

I've read a lot of reviews about tea tree oil and I've noticed people have been applying it wrong. You should never use tea tree oil by itself on your skin. It even says on the bottle. The reason why is it is an essential oil and it needs a carrier oil along with it so it doesn't irritate the skin. Personally, I use honey and pure aloe vera gel with the oil. Also, I would recommend buying the oil at an organic store like Whole Food and etc because some drug stores that sell tea tree oils have other chemicals mixed with it and ultimately diluting the tea tree oils effects. I've been using it for about a week now and my acne and acne scars have been getting better. I'm so glad I've chose this than any cleanser.

I recently have had my acne come back after almost 5 years gone for seemingly no reason. (I am 26). Desperate to try anything that would work, (I have tried everything on the market in the past, antibiotics, birth control, topical creams, benzol peroxide, apple cider vinegar, except for Accutaine) I picked up some tea tree oil from the local natural food co-op after reading such positive reviews on this site. I have only been using for a week, and I can say that does seem to be helping! To use, I wet a cotton pad and add 2 to 3 drops on TTO and apply as a toner. I have been doing this morning and night. After just a few days, my complexion does look much clearer. The only con is that if you have wrinkles (I have worry lines on my forehead) the drying nature of the oil will exacerbate them. This is pretty lame, but at this point I would rather be pimple free than wrinkle free. My advice to anyone is to give this stuff a try! I read a lot of people didn't like the smell, but I love it! Hope this review helps someone!
