Pros:

Only a small amount needs to be used,
Feels clean & fresh,
Fast results & it's all natural.

Cons:

A small bottle can be a little expensive.

I am about 18 weeks pregnant. I have always had a problem with acne but it has gotten more severe with pregnancy. Your options are limited when your expecting so home remedies I have found are the best option for me. I have been doing a acne regimen of my own every night for about a week. First, I make a paste with baking soda & water. I scrub this on my face & let it dry (takes about 3 minutes) then, I rinse with lukewarm water. Next, I take a cotton ball with witch hazel on it & use it as an astringent (It doesn't sting or dry my face out like a normal astringent). I then moisturize my face with a oil-free moisturizer. Finally, I use the tea tree oil as a spot treatment. My husband & I have had wonderful results so far & I cannot wait to see what our results are a month from now! Good luck to everyone & I hope this review helps :)

Pros:

No more acne break outs!

Cons:

can dry out your skin

This stuff is amazing! I have been trying a lot of natural cures for my cystic acne for the past couple of years and nothing has worked as well as Tea Tree Oil. I usually break out once every couple of weeks with a big painful bump but i havent had a single break out since i started using this. I only use this at night because it does dry out your skin and the smell can be a bit too much. After washing my face, I spread this directly onto my face with my fingertips (no diluting). Then i use a cotton pad saturated with witch hazel to take it off and apply moisturizer. I'm considering getting a life-time supply!

Pros:

It really works!

Cons:

It has a strong smell, but what's a little smell if it works, right?

Listen up people, it really works. I used to have terrible acne, even the beautician said it's hard to get rid of it. So, after trying so many different types of product that didn't work at all, I decided to try Tea Tree Oil. I mean, why not? I've been using it at night, before bed, and every morning, I wake up happy, cause my skin's slowly clearing up. Everyone at school agreed, it's the best thing that's happened to me.

Pros:

I used tea tree oil from Sally's Beauty Supply. It cleared my acne in less than two days. Works better than the other prescriptions I had.

Cons:

Tingles

My skin is great, and I don't look like I have bubble wrap stuck to my face.

Pros:

I have used tea tree oil for a month now in the form of a cleasing foram. It has dried up the whiteheads as soon as they occured, does not change my complexions and left my forehead smooth. I am sure it will do the same to my temples and cheecks.

Cons:

It really dries up my face but i have an oily face that moistens itself immediately.

I will give a clear recommendation after 3 months of using it regularly both morning and evening.

Pros:

- Takes the soreness and tenderness away from moderate/ severe acne cysts
- Can help clear less severe acne completely

Cons:

- If you put too much on it can burn your skin

I am currently between acne treatments as due to side effects I have had to come off minocycline tablets. I have suffered with cystic acne since I was 19, I am now 24. Whilst between treatments, I have purchased a tea tree oil based body wash as well as 10 ml of pure tea tree oil. I shower twice a day and use a very small amount of the body wash. Then after showering, I wet either a cotton wool bud or cosmetic pad with warm water, add a couple of drops of tea tree oil, then wipe over my acne. For bigger acne cysts (as in 2cm plus in size and even touching them caused you to wince in pain), I do not dilute the tea tree oil with warm water, add a few drops directly once or twice a day. As my acne blockages are quite deep it does not cure my acne completely, but it makes it so much easier to live with. It takes away much of the soreness and tenderness and has helped clear some of the smaller spots. It also helps to prevent infection.

Pros:

I found it very effective. Its antiseptic qualities helps fight against breakouts and acne.

Cons:

Strong smell, but you get used to it quickly. It may burn when applied.

I had very bad acne for a while, To the point where I was ashamed of it, my cousin recommended tea tree oil, so I went to my local Vitamin Shoppe and picked up a bottle and face wash. Within a month, My acne 80% of my acne disappeared, using the face wash along with the oil at night proved (to me) extremely effective. I am still using it, to hopefully finish off whatever is left.

Pros:

Works GREAT, dries out pimple, clears up in about 12-18 hours.

Cons:

If it's not mixed with toner or astringent; it may burn, strong smell

It works amazing. Buy a bottle and use a drop (mixed with astringent or toner) and put on pimples.

Pros:

Doesn't peel/burn skin, works fast.

Cons:

The smell is strong at first but you get used to it after a while.

I have a lot of red marks so I decided to try this. I've been using it for the past 3 nights and the redness is going down, it's amazing. I wet a cotton ball with water, squeeze excess water out. Put a couple of drops of TTO on it then put another drop of water(I'm scared of my skin peeling!) It is not too much water. It works just great. Then I put it all over my face three times before I go to bed and voila! Skin is beautiful in the morning.
