Saw results in just two days
I never used to have any issues with my skin. Of course some breakouts when I was stressed or having my time of the month. Few months ago I quit smoking cigarettes. A week or so later, I had full blown acne. It then began to take over my chest as well. I tried everything. The main products that did improve my skin a bit was 1. st Ives blemish control exfoliant 2. witch hazel. 3. Mario bodescu spot treatment. Of course these helped but didn't really do a full effect for me. I picked up a bottle of 5$ tea tree oil and diluted a bit w water. I put it all over my chest and face and let me tell you the next morning there was a significant decrease in my acne, especially my chest and any scarring that was there. Yes it didn't 100% clear my skin right away, but there was an obvious difference in my skin. If anyone is feeling hopeless, give it a try!! It may work for you :)

Pros:

Really clears acne, smooths skin and takes care of blimishes!

Cons:

The smell and the daily applications

Me and my girl went to The Body Shop where a sales lady recommended the Tea Tree Oil treatment! So she took the sample (Small container of wash and moisturizer) home and literately in a week her face was clear! She does have bad acne, so I went back and purchased the exfoliating scrub, the regular wash, Toner, daily lotion, night time blemish lotion and concentrated spa acne treatment (All Tea Tree)! Best stuff ever!

Pros:

It dried up my acne greatly! And my scars are starting to disappear

Cons:

My skin's mostly combination, so it can get dry in various areas. So I top it with moisturizer

I purchased the Daily cleanser, Night Cleanser, Tea Tree Oil, and the Tea Tree Concealer from the Body Shop all on monday night. It is now friday afternoon and all the acne I had on monday completely dried up! It'll break your budget a bit, but it's definitely worth it!

Pros:

best for shampoo and body ACNE

Cons:

none...when you hae acne your need to drain your skin of oil

I recently found a great chemical free tea tree shampoo ' which really helped me grow stronger hair 'its from the Made from Earth product line called the Tea & Protein Herbal Shampoo'.it actiallu has wheat proteins in it and that's what makes my hair look so full after I use it. The directions say for the shampoo to work ' you have to leave in your hair for 2 - but I usually do it for about 5, since my hair used to be so thin. But 5 minutes really works for me cause I can see a major difference in how thick my hair is' Even my husband comments on how my hair felt better ' and he never notices anything! I recommend it for all healthy women out there who want better full hair.

Pros:

Dries up current acne, evens out skin tone and it is really, really cheap! I'm going to add the smell to my pros section, too... my pillow smells like tea tree oil from applying it at night and it helps me go to sleep.

Cons:

Some people complain about the smell, but I actually like it. It's a tad strong but you get used to it.

It can sting a little bit when you first apply it, but the stinging goes away very quickly.

I really love it. If you're at a complete loss as to what to try next and you haven't given tea tree oil a go, just do it. I have to agree with a review I read on here; much better than slathering your face in chemicals that usually don't work. Definitely a plus to have it around for other purposes, too! You can use it for cuts, scrapes, bug bites and also boils. Even if you don't use it for your acne, keep some in your medicine cupboard, it is VERY handy.

Pros:

Tea tree is natural and antibacterial, great cos its dries your spots out and heals them quicker. Affordable, and some places sell it cheaper than others.

Cons:

Strong smelling, can sting too.

Dab on spots before bed and wash it off in the morning so you dont smell weird. Handy small bottles so you can keep one in your bag/desk to dab on any bad breakouts every few hours.

Pros:

Good for on the spot treatment

redness, burning and strong smell

It works better combined with apple cider vinegar

Pros:

Natural antibiotic and healer. Can be used in small amounts on an ongoing basis, without chemical dryness. Refreshing sensation.

Cons:

STINKY! Used in high-concentration, it stings and causes more delicate skin to temporarily redden. Not an instant solution.

I mix this 1:3 with jojoba oil, and massage 12 drops total into my skin after a shower. I have dry skin! Followed by toner/moisturizer and a quick patting-off of any excess, I do find it keeps my pores working healthily.

Pros:

Really dried out zits and started to heal them a lot faster. I started noticing results within just a few hours of my first application.

Cons:

Smells BAD. Blech. It can way over-dry your skin if you're not careful. I dilute it with a q-tip and use it only as a spot treatment for fear that my face would completely flake off if I used it all over.

Really great natural product. You have to dilute it, though or you'll be in trouble. It really dries things out and that could be harmful if used all over. Best as a spot treatment. I use 100% tea tree oil and it's worked great to get rid of zits fast. However, it doesn't do much for scars.
