Tea Tree Oil

I started Dan's regimen a couple of months ago, but instead of BENZOYL PEROXIDE substituted TEA TREE OIL. I used the already diluted Desert Essence "Kinder to Skin". (I chose Cetaphil liquid cleanser and Oil of Olay moisturizer.) I also started taking vitamins at the same time (multi + 50mg of B6 and Zinc). It took almost 2 months of SLOW but steady improvement. Now my skin is really clearing up. I honestly can hardly believe this day has come.

For the past 5 years, I could not find anything that would make the horrible large dark marks and acne under my cheeks go away (reason I got these was b/c of really bad quality makeup in highschool). I tried retin-A and prescription meds, and although retin-a helped a bit, it was really annoying to deal with. 3 weeks in my skin looks fabulous, most of the spots have faded. I have seen the most dramatic results when adding tea tree oil and the Clinique product. Here is my routine that really I finally perfected, and I would not be able to live without: 1. remove all makeup/dirt with makeup remover 2. cleanse with The Body Shop Chamomilie Silky Cleansing Oil. This stuff is amazing, doesnt dry out your face and makes it so soft. 3. Exfoliate with Boire and Clarisonic, or shave your face. 4. Thorough cleanse with Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser. Charcoal is the bomb, I regularily use all of their charcoal products. - optional: use an aloe vera or rose oil toner 5. Benzoyl Peroxide 6. 100% Tea Tree Oil 7. Clinique dark spot corrector - optional: eye cream 8. Any moisturizer (I actually use Aveeno body moisturizer) - but preferrably with spf for the daytime.

I love this stuff because I can wear it under my make up and there is no cakey residue. My skin is sensitive so I usually dilute it with water before applying

I use this as a spot treatment when I'm battling a raging pimple and sometimes when I'm steaming my face. I add a few drops to a pot of water and boil it on the stove and hold my face above the pot so the steam hits my face. It's refreshing and really helps. It does burn your skin when applying all-over, like a spot treatment. ONLY SPOT TREAT WITH THIS PRODUCT!

This stuff is AMAZING! I started mixing a few drops of tea tree oil with Extra Virgin olive oil (to counteract the drying properties of the TTO), and massaging it on to my face as a treatment every evening. I also used the pure oil as a spot treatment over night, and was amazed with the results! Even huge papules would diminish significantly in a matter of hours! Combined with Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant this has really made a huge difference! I cleanse morning and evening with a really cheap, fragrance-free cleanser called Lactacyd (containing lactic acid, which ensures a low pH-value), which doesn't strip the skin of it's natural oils and maintains the skin's own the pH-value. Then I use the Daily Microfoliant (only in the evening), and then apply the mixture of EVOO and TTO (also in the evening). In the morning I apply the tea tree oil lotion from Body Shop, to control shine. Works like a charm for me! :)

Is a natural benzol peroxide in my opinion. I believe it works like a charm to heal those zits that have already came to the surface or those which are in the process of healing. I found that you're better off with benzol peroxide for those zits beneath the surface of the skin. It will make your skin turn a little red at first but it disappears after a few minutes. I think it also helps to remove the dead skin cells at a quicker pace. I wash my face with Aveeno acne soap, pat-dry and then apply pro-active toner, spot treat with tea tree oil and apply benzol peroxide to the rest of my face. I put foundation directly over tea tree oil- you do not need additional lotion. I really recommend this stuff.

aaaaaaaaaaaah i love love love pure teaa tree oil. I only have very mild acne....(it used to be mild - moderate, but I am on Trimethoprim tablets from my Doctor, and DUAC GEL which is amazing and I swear by it... I dread to think what my skin would be like without it. So at the moment I have oily skin and a couple of zits every few days but thanks to tea tree oil, I have none at the moment! I put it on my cheek area (where I break out most) every night, and it seems to stop zits forming and I haven't (touch wood) had ANYYY zits at all for 2 weeks now! It's amazing. Buy it! Buy it! Buy it!

I have had bacne since I was a teen, I'm 43 now. In the winter, it is really bad and stubborn with some cysts lasting for weeks. Recently it dawned on me that tea tree oil is a natural anti bacterial and acne has bacteria in it. I put the oil on 2x a day with my fingertips. I have seen a marked improvement. My painful bumps have been shrinking faster and I haven't been bleeding nearly as much. In fact, I really haven't had much new bacne since I started. Since a small bottle (which lasts a while) costs only 5.99 at a national store which rhymes with Raider Moe's.... this is a no brainer. I am also going to get a UV lamp which should definitely help.

I have been using tea tree oil for over 7 years and mix it with cetaphil moisturizing cream as my one step skin treatment. I have had only mild breakouts when i get lazy or forget to use it and I love the smell although some of my friends do not. My skin has been so good for so long, but I ran out of tea tree and forgot about it. I started wearing makeup and got horrible acne from something that was comedogenic. Since then I have used Kern's to get clear(intending to go back to tea tree) But, the skin darkening from the BP is annoying, so I'm glad to be back to tea tree.

Think this is the best thing I have done for my skin ever! It's super affordable to buy a $8 bottle of Tea Tree oil that lasts six months. I love the tingly sting it gives my face. I'm amazed that my red coloring around my nose is almost gone (I'm 38 and have struggled with acne for years)and my black heads on my nose are quite minimized. My T-Zone oily skin has been more evened out and my red blochy spots are minimizing. I think this prodect is worth a try but it needs more than a week for results.
