Pros:

-fast working

Cons:

-I guess the smell, but I kinda like it, it smells like eucalyptus.
-dries out skin

I have had bad cystic acne on my chin since I was about 15, I'm now 18, and havent found anything (other than expensive prescriptions) that would clear the break outs and keep them away. I then read about using tea tree oil and have been using it for about 3 days now and am amazed. The stuff totally dried up my pimples and they are now scabbed over and healing. I tried using a honey mask but I just found that it only kept the breakouts away it didn't heal the breakouts I already had. Once my face is healed I will go back to using the honey mask to keep them from coming back. I would not, however, recommend using tea tree oil all over your face as it does dry out skin. Only use it as a spot treatment.

Pros:

A wide varitys of uses

Cons:

strong smell though I think it's ok

I've been using tea tree oil for many puposes over the last ten years. I've used it on infected wounds, against uranary tract syndrom, and are exspesially amazed by how good it works on mouth ulcers when aplied early, with first signs of break out. I use it pure on skin in some cases, but it is very important to avoid high doses. I think it works great on cyst on the back and on pustules on chin and nose. For some reasons, I don't know why, it has no good effect and might even worsen breakouts on my cheeks and forhead. But overall it is something of a small apotetechary and a must have for me.

Pros:

Clears skin and prevents future breakouts!

Cons:

Leaves skin dried out.

Love it. I use "amosphere (not atmosphere) tea tree oil facial wash", and use the "amosphere antibacterial facial stick" for problem spots. It's worked wonders considering I've even been prescribed stuff by the doc that didn't work. I've also been taking "DermaMed: for troubled skin" pills (one a day) along with the tea tree oil treatment. My face isn't as red as it once was from acne scars either. :) It cost me around 7$ for each amosphere product, and 30$ for the pills (these are optional though). Overall, VERY happy!

Pros:

Best product so far. I tried Tee Tree Acne Wash and since i had dry/oily skin i used Aubrey Natural Herbal Mostrizer.

Cons:

I haven't had anything so far.

I have had acne since i was 12 and now I'm 26. I have used everything from Proactive to you name it. I have went to the dematolgist and the things they prescribed burned my face and irrated my skin. I have spent 100's of dollars and i came across a nice lady in Salem, VA name Stacey at the Herbal store and she took time with me and helped me find a soultion. Everything i use is natural and organic. So if you haven't tried this please do. I wouldn't lie to you becaseu i have bad bad extremly bad skin and i wish you can see for yourself. I'm very happy with the results.

Diluted tea tree oil with witch hazel for the win
I use tea tree oil diluted with witch hazel and distilled water in a face wipes concoction I keep in a Tupperware container it works really well but I have extremely extremely oily skin so the fact that this concoction is drying is for me a good thing. A little tea tree oil diluted goes a long way with acne. I did try it undiluted for a while but that just seemed to aggravate my acne I now use it with the witch hazel and some water and find it is less harsh I guess which allows the acne to heal without it going into over drive extremely dry sore face lets explode acne mode. I find this helps my oily / hormonal acne flare ups to heal quicker and that I get less of them with consistent use.

Do you mind sharing your mixing ratio for the TTO, witch hazel, and water? I'd love to try this! :)

There really isn't a ratio I just kind of wing it until it looks damp enough. I know that's not helpful but at least a cup of witch hazel for a whole container of paper towels not packed too tightly. I've also been adding some apple cider vinegar with the mother and lavender oil as well with good effect.

Pros:

Dries spots
Helped my red marks
Personally LOVE the smell

Cons:

Only problem is I go through the small bottles too fast!

I LOVE tea tree oil <3 If I feel a pesky spot coming up I just dab some on and it takes the fight out of it. It doesn't seem to be too effective on the cysts I get sometimes though, but then, nothing is. The smell does kind of stink up your whole room, but I love the way it smells! All in all, it's a must have in my spot fighting arsenal.
