Tea Tree Oil

I put this on a new and existing pimples last night (I only have hormonal acne down the side of my chin) and this morning they were flattened and dried out. I've never seen this good a result from BP so I'm pretty happy with this! I first diluted it with jojoba but now just putting it directly with a q tip :)

most products make me break out and turn my skin bright red but pure tea tree oil seems to work quite well. only been a short time but my skin is calming down quite a bit. ( killing my demodex mites?) make sure to try pure tea tree oil only. downside- smells strong

I would say this is so far the best natural treatment I've used to reduce my acne. It works quickly and feels natural. You can also find cheap ones with small concentrations of tea tree oil and it still works.

I've been using Extra Virgin Coconut oil for about three months now (just so that you know what else I've been doing) and it has really helped my acne in the long run. However, the acne that did continue to show up was still difficult to deal with. That's where tea tree oil comes in. I bought a small bottle for $10.99, but a little goes a long way. Last week, I saw a scary cyst-like pimple developing. The kind that forms under your skin and is very big and painful. I applied this to that faithfully and it made it first extremely hard, and then it started shrinking it. Now, there is practically no scar on my face. Had it not been for the oil, that cyst may have gotten really big and red, and would still be on my face. Tea tree oil seriously zaps zits, and dramatically reduces the size of acne. You do have to be a little patient though, it takes three days before the acne is completely gone, but it beats popping zits, spreading germs, and leaving scars. A lot of people say that they dilute it, but I apply it straight on my face, and a lot of it too. I've never had any burning or irritation. Then again, I don't have sensitive skin, so please, test it on a small patch of skin before applying it all over your face!

I haven't had an infected pimple since I started using this product, and before I used to get about 2 a day! I simply mix a drop of pure tea tree oil in with a generous amount of moisturizer (Cetaphil) every night before bed. It has a tingling cooling sensation and a strong but pleasant smell. I'm also on Yaz and Retin-A but tea tree oil seems to have been the final step that was lacking in my routine.

I've tried everything and tea tree oil is the only product that seems to work for me. I don't mind the smell, but it's not something I can wear to my office etc. With that said, applying just at night seems to work fine.

Worth the try! I wash my face with my normal Neutrogena scrub. Then I rinse as usual. Then I add 1 drop of the Tea Tree Oil to a cotton ball moistened with water. I dab it on my trouble zones, and that's it! I'll dab again throughout the day if I feel a new pimple pop up, and it dries up quickly. I love this stuff.

This is the clearest my skin has been since my acne started a dozen years ago. I hardly ever get any new pimples, but when I do the tea tree oil turns them around overnight and they go away quickly. It also seems to be fading old discolorations faster than anything else I've used. It's getting to the point where I don't feel like I have to wear any kind of foundation or concealer anymore. I wash my face with castile soap morning and night. At night I put a few drops of tea tree oil on a wet cotton swab and wipe it all over my face. If I have a bad zit I might use a q-tip to get it in the morning too, but usually just using the tea tree oil at night is enough. I don't really need moisturizer anymore, but if I have a dry spot I treat it with calendula cream. I recommend getting an eyedropper...keeps you from spilling and using too much! You really only need a few drops.

if u battled with acne for years and have used everyhting under the sun try this and it will work. evens out skin tone and rids u off scars and stops break outs. In the morning i wash my face with dove regular soap n hot water and put some cocoa butter lotion on and then make-up and thats it. At night i wash my face again with dove regular soap and hot water and dilute the tree oil with water and apply to my face with a cotton ball and once a week i do an exfoilating scrub with just warm water and sugar and then apply the tea tree oil. and the most important thing try try try not to touch ur face and keep ur hair out of ur face ur skin on ur face is open to germs... think about it any other part of ur body doesnt break out bc ur not touching it all day long! good luck ppl!

I stopped using this product about two months ago because I started using the tea tree oil products from bath and body works. When I used the actual tea tree oil bottle you can get at wall mart for about six bucks I noticed it cleared up my acne pretty well and I had less big bumps. I regret stopping this routine and ever since I started this benzoyl peroxide routine my acne has gone beserk. I'm going to retry tea tree oil and see what happens. I'll let you know how it works. :]
