Pros:

It's natural and effective. When I'm getting a zit the size is much smaller now ... verses the HUGE ones I typically get.

Cons:

None

I've been using it for a few weeks now, and haven't had to use any other spot treatment. It may not work for everyone, but I think it's well worth a shot for the price.

Pros:

Seems to be working so far.
I refuse to put BP or SA (or any other harsh products) on my skin after living with very dark red scars on my face for years as a result of using those products. TTO seems more promising..

Cons:

Smell. Acutally starting to like it now but initially was very turned off.

I've only been using TTO for a short period of time but it seems to be very effective at reducing the appearance of pimples and possibly even preventing them (haven't had a new one yet and I usually wake up with a new one daily). It does dry out the skin, especially around the area where the lesion is located. Red marks are much lighter than when treating with BP and I am hopeful that they will disappear faster as well. Currently, I dampen a cotton ball with lukewarm water and add 3-4 drops of 100% TTO and go over the problem areas once a day. I wait for it to dry and then apply an oil-free lotion. I have very sensitive and dry skin and it's winter so I'm also trying out dime-sized Cetaphil Moisturizer + 2 drops TTO on an area of my forehead to see if it is effective at keeping my acne at bay as well as moisturizing enough for my skin. I am praying that this stuff will continue to work for me as I am very saddened by the effects of BP and SA on my face. Will keep p

Pros:

feels good when applied. tightens pores

Cons:

smells too strong.

I don't think it does the job for me. I felt that it tightened the pores, but no impact on my pimples. Initially, I tried it with a Q-tip at 100% topically, but it didn't make much difference. Next, I diluted it with toner and applied it in the problem areas with cotton balls. it won't hurt. it is good in the areas where pores are visible.

Pros:

cheap, easy to use. helped calm skin, relieved redness.

Cons:

didnt make an improvement on my acne breakouts.

i believe it works on mild acne. didnt work in clearing up my skin but it did help relieve redness. did not irritate my skin at all either.

Pros:

helps with zits when used sparingly/just a dab on a QTip will suffice

Cons:

i put some TTO on a cotton ball and held it on a growing zit for 20 minutes...it ended up burning my skin and now i have a cotton ball sized scab...i am hoping this will not leave a permanent scar!

good just be careful!

Pros:

Clears my skin up over night - it really works!

Cons:

Stings my eyes for a few seconds & dries out the skin by the mouth, a little.

It's cheap - under $10. You can get it at most grocery stores - they keep it in the nail polish section b/c it can be used to sterlize manicure/pedicure tools. The bottle suggests diluting it for facial use, but I'm hard-core, so I just dab it - full strenght - onto my break-outs after washing my make-up off at night. I use the Exposed product line, but it's not really helping. The Tea Tree Oil IS helping. It doesn't prevent new break-outs, but it REALLY clears up or reduces the size of the existing ones so that my make-up goes on nice & smooth. I need to start diluting it, though, b/c it's drying my skin out a bit. I'm also using Bare Minerals, so that may be drying my skin out as well. I'm happy with it so far....

Pros:

great if you wake up with a really bad zit and need a quick fix

Cons:

can be very drying if used over wide areas of your face for long periods of time

tea tree oil is a miracle- it will shrink down cysts and make them less painful and easier to cover-up. it's very strong, though, so try to only spot-treat when possible. i had a very bad cystic breakout on my cheeks a few months ago and after trying everything else, the tea tree oil was the only thing that worked on them. however, i made the mistake of putting the oil on a cotton ball and wiping it over the acne-ridden area, and although it DID dry up the pimples, it also made the skin around the pimples very dry, painful, and leather-y looking. i would have been better off spot-treating. but like i said, the stuff is amazing, just don't misuse it.
