Pros:

I started useing it this morning and just applied some before bed, so far it seems to be helping already and its only been like 12 hours. I like the fact that the pain I usually get from my acne is gone right when you apply.

Cons:

I have very fair and sensitive skin, I'm Irish so I have to be very careful what I use, so far the only con is the strong scent which kinda grows on you, it's very herbie.

I have adult acne, started around when I turned 18 or 19 so I've only been dealing with it for about 5 years and it's very light acne but I get the pustual acne you know the really gross kind that turn into white pus balls on your face gross right? Well I've tryed Pro active, Nutrogena, clean and clear, noxema, clearasil, cetaphil, toothpaste which dries out acne but is only a temporary solution, the only thing that has ever worked for me almost completely is Nature's Cure the pill and cream kit. I am using it along with the tea tree oil. I've been using natures cure for two month's now but 2 years ago I was on it for about a year then like an idiot stop using it because my acne cleared up lol.

Pros:

The product seems to be working by drying up the pimples. The skin feels really clean after putting on the products.

Cons:

It has an undesirable smell. It is expensive too. It may take time for the product to work and clear up the blemishes.

I have been using The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil line (facial wash, toner, day time moisturizer, and night gel). Although it is expensive, it is worth a try. However, I may not be sure if it is the effects of the products since I am also taking flax seed supplements, vitamin c with rose hips supplements and multivitamins. I am also shifting to a fruit/vegetable/white meat diet.

Pros:

I have used tea tree oil wipes(body shop) on pus filled spots, the wipes lift the pus right off as long as the spot is ripe. Skin feels alot cleaner aswel.

Cons:

The problem is using this alone can not get rid of my acne, I take cod liver oil tablets, and i have seen a HUGE difference in my gram negative folliculitis over the last week.

Its good for topical application, lessens pain, makes you feel abit more fresh. ALSO BEWARE - i have bought some cheap creams from ebay which use tea tree oil and it only made the acne worse!!!!!! i switched to a brand name cream and the acne was controlled abit better.

Pros:

Works really great, soaks into skin pretty fast, dries up blemishes and acne and overall looks to be improving my skin's texture and look. I use the 100% Australian stuff and don't dilute it because my skin isn't sensitive, works great!

Cons:

None!

Buy this! There are next to no bad side effects, other than people with sensitive skin saying that it dries their skin out, but you can always dilute it with water if that's the case. My skin can handle the 100% and it works wonders on it. I'm sad I didn't use this sooner! It is a little expensive for the amount you get (2-3 or so ounces) but it works great, I don't use any BP or any products anymore just this!

Pros:

Those of you who have acne-- I have found the best product line over the weekend. It is called LUSH. You can order it off line--expensve but worth it! I saw results in two days. Get the ocean salt scub and then follow it up with the tea tree oil.

Cons:

There is none!

I recommend getting the smaller size bottles of both to make sure they work for you. I have been using them in the am and pm. I've had acne since I was 12 and I'm now 22. I have used everything under the sun including accutane. Lush products are the first I have used and saw immediate results. It is WELL work the money! It leaves my skin REAL soft. Also, I've heard that tea tree oil has a smell. Lush's tea tree oil has no smell and comes in a spritz container. Get the product--no joke it could just be the best thing you will use. If the results keep getting better for me, i might just not have to go back to the dermatologist!

Pros:

Works fast at least for me

Cons:

Can be a liitle expensive, dris out the skin

I used so many products and nothing has seemed to work. I had very bad acne and hated looking in the mirror. My cousin was the one that introduced me to tea tree. I lie to you not, after the first week of using we both noticed a major difference. I could not believe it. I literally cried my eyes out. I was so surprised to see how fast it had worked. I've had many people tell me that my face looks really good. Now my mother uses the line. All I can say is just give it a try and if it doesn't work for you just keep looking for what works for you

Pros:

I'd put just a dab on a pimple before going to bed, the next day...it was gone! It really works. Didn't really dry out skin.

Cons:

Strong smell, but you'll forget about it once you've gotten your results.

It's awesome, it's a lot faster than the others, cheap, and natural.

Pros:

- Will dry out pimples overnight. Reduced approx 60%.
- Helps remove dead skin by drying out dead skin cells.
- Will effectively kill bacteria on the surface.

Cons:

- Will make skin red and irritable for an hour if used excessively.
- For 25ml, you will expect to pay approx $12.

You MUST use 100% natural strength Tea Tree Oil. Please do not use too much, it is meant for individual pimples only due to its potency, although if you gently apply a little on you whole face, it should still be fine espeically if you mix it with something gentle, like a non-comedogenic moisturiser or aloe vera. It is natures Benzoyl Peroxide! Serious. So it will sting like hell if your skin is not used to it. The best time to apply it is a couple of seconds after you dry yourself off after your shower. That way, your pores will still be a little open, and the tea tree oil can seep in to do its job. (This is the same for ALL acne treatments...You want your pores to be open during....then closed after you finish the treatment). Remember, it should not be your only acne treatment. The tea tree should be the final thing you apply, unless you put on make-up (which I suggest you don't do too much of). Never BUY any product that doesn't say NON-COMEDOGENIC & don't use anything with alcohol!

Pros:

Cheap, I personally like the smell, works.

Cons:

Burns sometimes

Works for blemishes. Doesn't cause drying of the skin like most acne spot treatments. However, don't use this on a recently popped pimple/broken irritated skin. Burns so much and leaves a nasty scar.
