Pros:

inexpensive, effective and natural.

Cons:

Spicey smell but you start to like it after a while.

I got it at the body shop (15%). I got stronger stuff at the drug store but it was more expensive and didn't work like the stuff I got at the bodyshop. Stuff from bodyshop was cheap. It worked. It was the onlything that has worked on the non-forehead parts of my face.(forhead needed ret-A but ret-A was too strong for the rest of the face that tea tree oil was perfect for)

Pros:

Easy to use and affordable.

Cons:

If you go mad with the pure form of Tea Tree you can dry your skin out!

I love Tea Tree Oil (and, oddly enough, the scent - it's such a clean smell!). In Australia we get it in pure form, 10% strength and in an antiseptic cream. I use the Thursday Plantation antiseptic cream every day under my moisturiser or sunscreen which seems to keep most of the spots at bay. When I do get the odd eruption, I nuke it with pure on a cotton bud and it's gone that day. Brilliant stuff!

Pros:

If your skin is not allergic(which is very rare for it to be) it starts to work within a week!

Cons:

Just the smell is strong but its soothing as well.

Im the type of person that if i dont see results at least a little i give up, i know they say you have to wait a while, but when your skin is so irritated, you want to see immediate change even if its a little. A good sign is to at least see no NEW breakouts. I basically agree with many to heavily dilute it. Half cup water with a few drops. I dip my hands and massage it in my skin to get the circulation going. Feels soo soothing!!! Much better to start w less since you should be using 100% natural tea tree oil. Im really excited! ive tried sooo much and its been abouT A WEEK AND AMAZING RESULTS!TRY IT!! This site was what helped me discover it. Tell people to try it seriously worth trying something so natural and proven to not have side effects! (of course your one of the rare people that are allergic) I WISH EVERYONE THE BEST I KNOW HOW DEPRESSING ACNE CAN BE!! STAY POSITIVE! AND minimum of 8 glasses of water is a MUST!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Great for killing the acne causing bacteria and preventing future acne, can't go without it, great clean feeling after use

Cons:

makes old scars darker with every use, very drying to the skin, burns but worth it

I currently use with 100% black soap, 100% tea tree oil as astrigent/toner, and then moisturize with unrefined shea butter. Have been using this for only a week and my breakouts have stopped significantly. The tea tree oil is the absolute best astrigent for ance prone and oily skin, moisturize afterwards and you will reap the benefits.

Pros:

Makes pimples disappear faster when used as a spot treatment, not drying (but i have oily skin)

Cons:

smells strong, kinda expensive (but my parents are paying for it anyway, lol)

i'm 13 and have pretty bad acne. i've been using tea tree oil as a spot treatment for a couple of months and once you get used to the smell, it works pretty good. it's not a miracle, but it's the best spot treatment i've found. just dab it on your zits and/or scars before bed with a q-tip and try to ignore the stinging/cooling-ness. i found mine at walgreens in the supplements section next to all the fish oil and stuff. so yeah, you should definitely try this.

Pros:

My acne is almost completely gone.(:&it only took a few days.

Cons:

stings a bit at first.but no pain,no gain.

My acne is pretty bad.I get cystic acne(acne under the skin.) all the time.It had recently gotten to the point where I would cry because it hurt so bad.I was at Trader Joe's when I noticed their Tea Tree Oil face wash,cleansing pads, and Blemish Stick(Also from tea tree oil.). In about 3 days,my cysts were pretty much gone.I've also been taking Omega 3 fish oil pills.This might be helping too. My skin feels great now,&I can't wait until school starts. (:

Pros:

I have been using dermatologist prescribed meds. for years and i'm only 14, i use this with some other stuff i have, and although it isn't completely gone, it has definately improved my skin tone, scars, and lessoned my breakouts!

Cons:

It smelt disgusting at first, but i kinda like it now, it dries out your skin so i use an oil-free moisurizer

Use it. if you have geneticly terrible skin like me, u may need to use other things with it. Otherwise i think it could do miracles for others with mild acne. (i got mine in a small bottle at trader joes)

Pros:

100% Natural; Dries Up Pimples; Decreases Pain in Zits after first treatment; somewhat strong but even on my sensitive skin i find it very useful undiluted; i personally love the smell

Cons:

Burns slightly upon 1st application (like when you use a toner, such as the ProActiv toner), it's not painful necisarrily, just tingly. may dry out non-oily or sensitive skin. creates temporary white heads that go away with continued use.

I find this product was very useful for me. I have sensitive but oily skin, but I used it undiluted. Maybe because my skin is naturally oily it didnt dry it out. Within an hour of first application my face was 10% better than it was. Scars weren't as noticeable, and the small pimples mostly went away. It made my skin very, very soft, and worked well as a toner, giving my skin a very nice "glow" or "brightness".. it looked healthy again. I believe if I continue to use this product my acne will be mostly gone within a week. I will try it out because I am confident that this could work. I have been battling acne for 6 years, and I believe this could work.

Pros:

Pretty cheap if you know where to get it (see -bottom line-) ~Organic!~ Overall *heals* skin and makes it feel fresh and new; and most importantly, get rid of acne!

Cons:

The smell is bad, but I think it's a little comforting because you know it's the real stuff- not masked in a million and two chemicals and other additives to look and smell pretty, etc. You will get used to the smell though pretty quickly.

For tea tree oil to really work wonders, you need to use it at the end of your face cleaning routine and consistently. I sleep with my cat every night and since tea tree oil is a known poison to cats and other animals, I'm a bit paranoid = I dry my face with my hairdryer before leaving the bathroom [and I honestly think that this also helps the oil work on my face faster and more thoroughly; plus, prevents oil from getting on pillow or anything (I've never had this problem but other reviews mention it)]. I've searched everywhere and the best priced tea tree oil can be found at Target (for about $5)! Your next best bet is Walmart for about $8; and after that your forced to pay $10 and up (CVS, Walgreens, local grocery store, etc.). Since this product _is_ an _oil_ = can leave skin oily = I only use this product at night (and not in the morning when you need to put on makeup after cleaning the face). Apply with a clean finger tip (not a cotton ball, tissue, cloth)
