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)

Pros:

- Works very well with consistent use.
- Much, much heaper than other co-called acne treatment system in the market.

Cons:

- Strong smell (but you'll get use to it).
- May dries and irritates skin.

I've tried Pro-Active and other acne systems but none seem to work. I was about to give up, until I tried this tea tree oil. I apply 100% tea tree oil along with 100% Vitamin E oil, so that my skin doesn't dry, night and morning daily. The result may takes a few day but you can definitely see the difference.

Pros:

i will keep this very simple. my acne used to be very bad when i was 13-16. ive used lots of OTC and prescription products, but it was still irritated and not helping.my routine really works because its simple. enough of this abrasive, hardcore

Cons:

chemical sh*t on your face. in the morning, use moderately hot water and a clean face cloth everyday (not one you throw by the sink basin, theres germs there) after a light scrub all over, hold your head under the sink for a few minutes, let the wate

jar or bottle. while your face is still wet or moist, shake the solution all over your face. dont worry about your clothes, it doesnt stain. the smell can be intense, but theres worse smells. also, watch out for your eyes. after that, head to be and get a good sleep. i cant exactly remember how long it took to really get my skin clear, but i went from grimy teenager, to polished. really, my skin is stunning now, and i feel it can be attributed to this minimalist approach. dont go crazy, your skin is alive. keep it simple and routine. also, something else. i wear mineral makeup now, and it gives me no problems what-so-ever. tea tree oil works wonders. the important thing is to not touch your face. facial pores are much more open and prone to letting bacteria enter. seriously, dont rest your head or chin on your hand, dont itch your face or nose (use a tissue or clean cloth) and most importantly, if food gets on your face, go rinse it off gently, dont rub it in with a napkin.

Pros:

i almost cleared up my skin in a month, it worked as a wonder to me, really soothes your skin and makes your acne disappear in less then two days.

Cons:

has a bit strong smell but its good

I bought whole line of tea tree oil products from The Body Shop which usually includes a scrub, foaming cleanser, toner, moisturizer, facial mask and pure tea tree and it is really effective.

Pros:

dries up current zits very quickly, good to add to current toner or cleanser, i myself like the smell, 2 oz. is a good size, available at local drugstore/walmart, cheap, evens out skin tone, lessens scars, over time inflamation of old zits goes down.

Cons:

my dad hates the smell and so i have to keep it away in my room, the glass bottle almost broke because i dropped it since the oil gets on the bottle...making it slippery, makes skin flaky, inflames skin.

i recommend it. probably best at night because it does make your skin dry and it does make it inflamed and you do stink.

Pros:

WOW! works on spots and redness very fast! it only takes a few days and you notice the difference. seems to keep the general balance of skin in check.

Cons:

non

i use %100 tee tree oil - first i use hot water to open my pores and use good clean face wash then i apply a drop of oil in my hand and rub it on my face - then i fill the sink with freezing cold water and dunk my face in it, i also add a few more drops to the cold water - the cold water closes up pores with tee tree oil deep in the skin - then pat dry - you will see the difference in one wash! i do this twice a day - also quit smoking - do exercise - drink lots of water - and relax!

Pros:

I have used tea tree oil for a month now in the form of a cleasing foram. It has dried up the whiteheads as soon as they occured, does not change my complexions and left my forehead smooth. I am sure it will do the same to my temples and cheecks.

Cons:

It really dries up my face but i have an oily face that moistens itself immediately.

I will give a clear recommendation after 3 months of using it regularly both morning and evening.

Pros:

All natural (of course). This is the only product that I use when I have break-outs and it really does its job! I'm using the one from Body Shop.

Cons:

a little drying, but if you apply a really small amount only, it works fine. smells bad though but as time goes by, you'll get forget about it.

I apply it directly on the affected area before I sleep and when I wake up, acne's "almost" gone. Just be careful not to apply too much because it makes your skin dry and sometimes you'll even get a dark mark if your skin is prone to scarring. NEVER use an undiluted version of this!

Pros:

natural product, does not interfere with immune system, low cost

Cons:

drying, odor

I've used a dilution (up to 15%) in water daily for a few years now and am very happy with it. I would NOT recommend using full strength. Water does not mix well with oil but shaking before use works fine. Have had benzoil peroxide allergies and issues with prolonged antibiotic use before I found this. Still have occasional breakouts but acne is smaller, goes away quicker and is overall dramatically less.
