Pros:

Its great for a wide many uses, especially immediate spot treatment of acne as well as a daily toner.

Cons:

Can be very irritating and over-drying when applied alone, and not everyone can tolerate the odor.

I've been using TTO for a few months now and am very impressed. I have never had bad acne but often to get a pimple or to per week, with the occasional breakout. For spot treatment I apply a dab to a qtip and apply directly to the zit or zit area, undiluted. On a daily basis I dampen a cotton ball and then add a few drops of TTO and then apply to my face next and chest. It has done more then anything before. Further... it has helped many other ailments I have (which I won't list here) but I highly recomment the product... its one of the few substances that is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. Proven more effective in the long run than neosporin, so I am guessing it is good for preventing scars too. Oh, and that pricy looking little bottle actually lasts a very long time.

Pros:

clears up acne and generally the best thing I've found

Cons:

smells really strong and makes my eyes water sometimes and dries out my skin causing flaking

I used different products and found no results, within about 2-3 days of using this i found my skin had improved brilliantly, i was really happy thinking from here on my skin would just get better. however, I've now been using it for about 3 weeks and these past few days my skin has got really bad, worse and worse with each day (any help)?

Pros:

Works on zits

Cons:

Can make your face ichy and red

Tea Tree oil works, but for some people it might not work, i used it for a few week or so, then it stoped working for me. But when it did work it left face feeling great!!! And it really helps if your face is hurting. Give it a shot it might just work for you!!!

Pros:

I have been using tea tree oil facial wash, toner, and night gel to get rid of my recurring acne. I have noticed that it dried up the acne on the first week. My skin feels clean and looks better.

Cons:

The oil has a temporary weird smell. The results of this ingredient are not dramatic. I may have to wait for more weeks before it clears out. It is also a little bit expensive in the Philippines since the product comes from Australia.

It's a good product. A person with acne should try it out if it matches the skin type and its needs.

Pros:

Fairly cheap, peels fresh red marks, dries pimples.

Cons:

Hasnt prevented breakout very well.

I stopped using benzoyle peroxide after it stopped working as well as it originally did, and I thought Id try tea tree oil after reading all the great reviews. It hasnt been very effective though in fighting breakouts, maybe Im not using it to its full potential though. I usually put about 4 drops into my regular moisturizer after cleansing. Anyway, Im going back on the regimen tongiht, hopefully it works out.
