Pros:

Nice cooling sensation, gives that clean feeling after use, light tingle, doesn't irritate my skin, reduced redness and acne

Cons:

Smells very strong, but doesn't last. Smells stongest and lasts longest first use. Smell also lingers for a while, but less concentrated. Probably wouldn't want to use it before you go out. Has a sort of minty smell, if you like that kind of scent

I have pretty good skin, as far as acne goes, but it always bugs me how some sections of my face are smooth and clear, while others are red and bumpy. I wanted to have all of it smooth and clear, but all the kits and washes didn't seem to work right. So, I did some research and was immediately interested in tea tree oil when I read about it. So I went out and bought it. I really love it. I bought it just the other day at Target, it was the last bottle! I used it before I went to bed, and when I woke up, my skin had visibly gone down in redness. It sounds crazy, but my skin actually feels happy now that I'm using it. I just dab a bit on a cotton ball and wipe it all over my face, apply mosturizer if I feel that I need it, and I'm good! I'm not a fan of the smell, but I guess I don't mind it too much. I can't wait for it to clean up the rest of my acne and keep it that way :)!

Pros:

good for sensitive skin (just apply the correct diluted amount)

Cons:

-not so fast in clearing acne scars

I have tried body shop's tea tree oil and I broke out. But now I am using a tea tree oil from my derma and it worked amazingly. Maybe they differ in concentration?I don't know. So I advice those who have broke out with body shop's tea tree oil to try using other brands of tea tree oil. It might work out for you as well.

Pros:

Completely cleared up my back and I have tried everything. Try it!

Cons:

I don't mind the smell, I just used it at night. But it can be strong at first. It can also be slightly drying for sensitive skin like mine.

I had backne for forever. I tried prescriptions and everything. I decided to take the natural approach and bought pure 100% tea tree oil. It cleared it up completely within a week. You have to buy "Melaleuca alternifolia" (a certain species that has the healing effect). I just got my bottle from Target (cheap!). I diluted it in water (8 parts water for every 1 part tree tree oil) and poured on a cotton swab. I love it and strongly recommend it.

Pros:

Dries out pimples, clears up black heads, and helps prevent new break outs

Cons:

The smell is bad but after a while you kind of get used to it

My mom had an old remedy book and tea tree oil was in it to help clear acne. Bottom line for a yr I have been looking for a product that works and this is the only thing that does. I have been using it for a month everyday at first and now just every other day. Grant it, it does dry out your skin a little but I use this at night after washing my face with a non scent and antibacterial soap then in the mornings I wash my face again and apply moisturizer that doesn't cause oily skin.. But this is a great product

Pros:

personal exp:
Clears up skin, softens, brightens & beautifies! Wonderful, pleasant bold smell. makes pores disappear!

Cons:

none! :)

why wouldn't you try it! its simply the sh*t. it works for me so its most likly to work for you. i wouldn't recommend it for people with dry skin. i use it sparingly around and on my problem areas.. but my problem areas are disappearing :) i also use Aveeno Ultra calming moisturizer. its great. if you use this combo wait 10 minutes to apply moisturizer or ull burn your face :S but youll be fine. i use Aveeno tone and brighten face scrub. it works great tea tree oil is great

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:

clears red marks extremely well, no breakouts since starting use

Cons:

the only stuff i could find came in a very small bottle (15mL)

long story short, 3 days before starting school i had some huge cysts and was rummaging through all of my old acne fighting supplies to try to get rid of it. i saw some tea tree oil i had bought but never really tried and looked it up online a bit and gave it a try. what i ended up doing was: cleanser (cetaphil) let face dry mix shot glass of water with 3 drops of tea tree oil, use cotton ball to wipe on face and let dry apply benzyclin (i'd guess any benzol peroxide would work to some extent) moisturize if needed (cetaphil moisturizer) also drinking lots of water in about 3 days all of my red marks from this summer have faded to almost nothing and the three huge angry red pimples are flat and fading rapidly. really worth a try, its the only thing that's worked this well for red marks for me and i've been trying to figure that problem out for about 6 years. note: i hear both TTO and BP dry out your skin a lot, i've been on BP for years so i didnt have much
