Tea Tree Oil

Tee Tree Oil is great as a spot treatment. It helped dry out large cyst

I began using 100% pure Tea Tree Oil when I decided I wanted to leave harsh chemical washes behind and take a more natural route to skincare. I began using it as just a spot treatment, but when I found no results after two weeks of using it, I moved on to diluting it into my moisturizer and other things. While it did make my skin feel very clean and "minty", I still was seeing no progress in clearing up ongoing and new breakouts (my breakouts are more cystic and hormonal). I figured after a little over a month of using it (and other Tea Tree products) that this method is not right for my skin. I may come back to it and try again in the future, but for now it'll sit on my bathroom shelf. I would recommend trying this product for a month to see if it's a good alternative for you, and if not, move on. PROS: - It leaves a "minty" feel on your face - While it didn't clear me up, it did "flatten" pimples so that they weren't so off-the-face noticeable - Great disinfectant - Seemed to help a little with the larger blackheads I had around my nose - Smells wonderful! CONS: - Can dry out skin if used in excess - Didn't reduce my hormonal and cystic acne, and didn't prevent new breakouts from coming in - Occasionally made my skin red and irritated - although I may have just been using a bit too much on one area

I think the product is worth having around, I find myself using it for many things, from acne to bug bites!

This stuff is a Miracle worker for me I have never had anything clear me up so good before I love this. I have had acne since 12 years old, I am 17 currently and have always struggled with some pretty bad hormonal acne it covered every bit of the sides of my chin and jaw. But I am pretty clear now, I never thought I'd say it but I am happy this is working. Now I just have to get rid of all the acne scar/ marks. What I did is is I got a bottle, and I mixed witch hazel, rose water, lavender and tea tree oil together and it works perfectly. The lavender works as to calm down the redness in your skin and give it a more pleasant smell. Now you don't need all that stuff, the thing that is basically clearing me up is the tea tree oil but I thought i'd share what I do anyway! Now my acne is no longer severe.

Overall, tea tree oil is great for acne. I use a 100% pure liquid as a topical cream on my face in the evening and a blemish stick under my make-up. Both are from the Thursday Plantation which specialises in tea tree Oil. On open cuts it burns; which is good insentive to not pick at pimples. I have post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation and have found that using 100% tea-tree oil on the red marks every couple of days and I have found that it helps fade them away. It is a very gradual process and I have been careful putting tea-tree oil on unaffected areas of my face - if you don't need it on part of your skin, don't put it there. Plain and simple. Another use is to put a few drops of the oil into a bowl of boiling water and steam your face with it. Basically, if you use tea tree oil right it will help with acne and red-marks. It's not a miracle treatment but it does help significantly. Tea Tree Oil = wonder from Down Under.

This works great as a spot treatment, if you have redness from a blemish or have squeezed it. It then heals very quickly and removes redness :D Does not work as a acne cure :(

Tea tree oil seems to help control some of my flare ups and heal any existing pimples. I primarily add about 2-3 drops to 1 pump of the Acne.org moisturizer. I also get really bad dandruff on my hairline (thinking it may be psoriasis because it's red sometime and really flaky) and tea tree oil really does wonders in getting rid of the redness and flakes. However, this stuff is strong and if you have sensitive skin, I highly recommend diluting it.

I absolutely adore tea tree oil. I've been using it for about 10 years now (although not as much as I should, only lately because I am pregnant and my mild hormonal acne is back!). It is a great disinfectant and it really helps to relieve pain, reduce redness and inflammation and clean out the pores. Used daily, it helps prevent future breakouts, but it's not for everyone. Everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to different products, you just have to try it and stick with it. You can't use it for one day and expect to see drastic results. Use any product you try for at least 3-4 weeks to notice any change. You have to be patient. For me, tea tree oil did wonders. And I am using it again now to tame the whiteheads on my chin due to my hormones during pregnancy. It has been helping quite a bit. I apply it in the morning and at night. I also use apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and witch hazel as toners. And follow up with coconut oil as a moisturizer. Always moisturize after using tea tree oil, and you should never have problems with dryness. Dryness can also be from over-using it. Apply small amounts and only twice daily. Less is more. You don't need to slather it on. You won't see results any faster, you'll just dry out your skin!

I first tried 1/2 tsp TTO with 1/2cup water in a cleaned out glass baby food jar and use a cotton ball. It mixes nicely with water as long as you shake or swirl the jar before opening it. It is important to close the jar tightly after and store in a dark place. The first week of use I had ZERO new zits. Absolutely amazing. Now I mix 1tsp of TTO with 1/2cup water and make sure to feel that strong minty tingle on my face after application, or else its time to mix a fresh batch.

This is my favorite product out of everything I love (neutrogenas cream cleanser, neutrogena all in 1 acne control daily scrub, de la cruz) <-- Check these out too. It turns my stubborn pinkish/ red scars into a brown. I have light brown skin so all I have to do after that is dab hydroquinine cream onto the brown spot to make it match my skin tone, and its like it was never there. I thought I would have those pink/ red marks/ scars 4ever. Not to mention that I reduces the pimple size with every application really fast. I use it a few times a day so I have to moisturize. I DO NOT USE ANY MOISTURIZERS because they break me out. Instead I use a facial steamer. This has been making my skin glow, stay plush/ moist, look extremely healthy/ pretty, and has been making my breathing better too believe it or not. I can't say enough good things about this oil though. It kills bacteria, cleanses the skin, and dries out the pimple fast, don't think omg its an oil; its ganna break me out, trust me its not the typical oil. This 1 u can't mix with water, don't even put it on a wet face or it will sting, your face HAS TO BE COMPLETELY DRY; trust me here (experience). Good luck everyone. I know this is pricey, but just try it out 1 time, you'll love it if you don't get it in your eyes lol. Hope I helped, o and my acne did not used to be very light until recently when I started using this stuff again, y did I stop again lol.
