Pros:

Works very well if used correctly.

Cons:

Does NOT work well if undiluted.

I bought TTO a while ago and was using it all over my face as I heard it is par with BP in terms of clearing up acne. Silly me however, just slapped a bunch all over my face undiluted. This aggravated my skin and I broke out even more. I'm trying it out again diluted, as my pimples did get smaller practically overnight. DILUTE THE OIL! You can use a Qtip with water as mentioned or mix it with sweet almond oil or whatever else you have.

Pros:

Works really well on body acne
Starts working quickly

Cons:

Can irritate skin
has a strong smell

I use TTO on my chest, shoulders, and back and it works great. It stings a little on open pimples and the smell is REALLY strong if you don't dilute it but it works really quick. Be careful if you use it on your face though, I used it on my face once and had to wash it all back off because it immediattely started to burn really bad and it made my face all red.

Pros:

Its helps
drys out spots
use all over face, body, hair

Cons:

Its not a cure

Buy it online $3, so much cheaper than a drug store. I put it on all over my face at night, all the time. I believe it helps when mixed into your moisturiser or something. But dab extra on aswell by itself. Don't get near eyes. Its very drying and an antibacterial agent, natural healing.

Pros:

Works really good on acne!

Cons:

Dries out skin alot, burns a bit, smells bad.

After I wash my face at night with a makeup remover cloth I usually just put a little tea tree oil on a cotton ball and apply it all over my face.

Pros:

Shrinks acne

Cons:

smell, price, sometimes drips

I use pure tea tree oil. Each night, I dab a bit on my zits and put some Clean&Clear Salicylic Acid on top to keep it in place (it's liquid). This makes my zits so much smaller. I love it, I just wish it was less expensive. Luckily, mine was on sale; a tiny bottle for $1. :)

Pros:

Will dry up a pimple quickly!

Cons:

Do not apply too much, can burn skin and make a scar

Bottom Line is that Tea Tree Oil does work to help dry up pimples by reducing bacteria. It does take a few times of applying neatly to get it to dry up, but works better than any OTC topical creams or gels out there. Mix with your cleanser for the elimation of bacteria while cleansing. Use a Q-Tip and apply directly on the pimple.

Pros:

opens up pores, kills bacteria, makes skin smoother, shrink pore size, this product helps to eliminate pimples. Even though it is some form of oil, it does not clog your pores.

Cons:

smells strong and very unpleasant, makes skin a little dry. i follow the tea tree oil with 100% aloe vera gel.

This product is amazing. I have been using it for a little over a week and have already gotten satisfactory results. I think that it is worth a try, only then you will discover how good tea tree oil is for your acne and your overall skin.
