Pros:

gets rid of acne, any kind

Cons:

leaves face very dry

i have been using tea tree oil soap for about 5 days, but within the first day that i started with this a big difference can be seen, and everyday it gets better. i got the soap at vitamin world 3 for $6.00, but this is not the only thing that i use...here is my morning and night process: morning: -wash face with tea tree oil -apply benzaclin where i have acne which is on my jaw line and a bit of eucerin moist. night: -wash face with tea tree oil -apply mask of baking soda that i do with water only and apply it where i have acne and once in a while to whole face it works for redness -use benzaclin on problem area... this steps have helped me alot with my acne. i have used many products, but got this from reading reviews from this web site and i'm happy very happy with my results... thanks to all who share their regimens... really try using the tea tree oil soap, i read that the oil is good also but i wanted to change cleanser.. will keep you posted

Pros:

Tea Tree Oil is a natural antibacterial. The Body Shop has an amazing TTO based line.

Cons:

Overuse can cause dryness. May break out worse at first, but give it a few weeks.

This is an awesome natural replacement for harsher acne treatments. It was actually used in World War II as a wound antibacterial for soliders.

Pros:

effectively cleans pores. I have very oily skin so this is awesome for me. i noticed that it reduces overall redness of skin and clears blackheads and pimples very effectively.

Cons:

smell, if you can get past the smell...
it is not suitable for dry skin types.

awesome if you have oily skin use this it will help your over-all complexion. And one small bottle can last a long time.

Pros:

It makes skin less oily (and i definitely have the oiliest skin you've ever seen), clears blemishes very quickly, all natural, and not TOO expensive.

Cons:

NONE.

Tea tree oil is definitely my miracle in a bottle. I've tried everything: -salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, proactiv system, exposed acne system, differin, retin-A, expensive scrubs, face masks, vitamins, oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, murad acne system, and accutane (which is one of the worst medications to be on) with no permanent, steadfast success. Until recently, i ordered tea tree oil from the body shop and purchased their tea tree oil system. I use the facial wash, toner, tea tree oil (15% diluted), and moisture gel and it is THE BEST product i've ever used. My face is not shiny anymore, the products are gentle, it only takes me twenty minutes or less to get ready in the mornings now, and most of all, IT WORKS. The thing about acne is that everyone has different skin, and some products don't work for other people. The thin is though, some do. I definitely recommend TTO.

Pros:

It is very good in the fact that it dries up the pimple, and it makes sure that it does not have a chance to get worse.

Cons:

The smell isn't so bad, you get used to it. However it dries up the skin, and the area around the affected location where the tea tree oil was applied. It also makes it red.

It is good, and did not let me down, it did however make my face dry, itchy and red. can be sometimes emberassing! BUT OVERALL IT WORKS! AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Pros:

Acne shrinks quickly
works quickly

Cons:

the smell is over whelming sometimes
can dry out sensitive skin
not everywhere carries it

I had acne sense 12 I am almost 20. For a while basic creams (oxy clean) helped but recently only tea tree oil has. The smell is the only thing that really bothers me. It also works wonders on any irritated piercings. I use this with Doctor Bronners soap and they both have helped, Doctor Bronners is great for sensitive skin, like mine, but the tea tree oil will dry you out and can itch sometimes, so try diluting it.

Pros:

Natural
Works without a lot of irritation
Very cheap

Cons:

Works very slowly
I needed to use benxoyl peroxide sometimes in conjunction to speed up process. This combonation worked good because if I use only benzoyl peroxide my face gets irritated and my pores clog up with dead skin and I break out more

The key to this product working is to make sure you put it on morning and night. It is an antiseptic so if you constantly have an antiseptic barrier on your face the p acne bacterias will not have a chance to grow.

Pros:

Reduces redness, soothing, tingling sensation, is vert effective as a spot treatment

Cons:

Smells strong, will dry skin too mich if not diluted

This is the best thing I've ever used on my acne. I dilute a free drops in a tablespoon of 99% pure aloe vera gel, and use that as a spot treatment. It will last a very long time if used this way, which actually makes It less expensive than the drugstoe stuff by a long run. Worked much better than benzyol peroxide and salicylic acid. And it is less drying and much better for your skin. My skin is also very sensitive and dry to begin with.
