Tea Tree Oil

Worth a try but don't expect much.

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.

If it doesn't work for your acne you can use it for other things (like cold sores, for example) so your money isn't wasted.

Is a natural benzol peroxide in my opinion. I believe it works like a charm to heal those zits that have already came to the surface or those which are in the process of healing. I found that you're better off with benzol peroxide for those zits beneath the surface of the skin. It will make your skin turn a little red at first but it disappears after a few minutes. I think it also helps to remove the dead skin cells at a quicker pace. I wash my face with Aveeno acne soap, pat-dry and then apply pro-active toner, spot treat with tea tree oil and apply benzol peroxide to the rest of my face. I put foundation directly over tea tree oil- you do not need additional lotion. I really recommend this stuff.

Do your research before using any product, herb, or extract. Also research different combinations of herbal oils that can help your skin type overall instead of hoping that one oil can be a cure all. TTO is wonderful. It can be too drying for sensitive skin, but it can be diluted with a carrier oil such as sunflower oil. TTO is awesome for oily acne prone skin types. For sensitive skin, it might be better to wash TTO off after a small period of time (about 30 minutes- 1 hour) Acne prone skin needs to be cleansed from within. While using TTO your skin may break out more before completely being clear due to the fact that TTO is anti-fungal. It is trying to get rid of the bacterial within your skin that you can not see. Smart tip: Always apply a moisturizer after applying TTO. The best moisturizers can also be herbal oils such as Sweet Almond Oil or Rosehip Seed Oil. You do not need much at all just put a dab on your face and rub it all around until absorbed. Repeat until all areas of the face are lightly treated.

I LOVE tea tree oil. Love it. It's like my all natural BP. If I have an inflamed pimple, or a whitehead or blackhead that I popped, I'll apply some tea tree oil on it with a q-tip and in the morning, you can't even tell there was something there. I think it also prevents it from getting infected. It also dries up zits and makes them a lot less noticeable. Make sure your tea tree oil is 100% and doesn't have any extra stuff in it. For me, it's a nice natural alternative to benzoyl peroxide, and works great for oily skin. (: Just make sure you're not allergic or sensitive to it first before you slather it all over your face, or you might get an unwanted allergic reaction.

It hasn't done anything yet to improve my skin but i think this would be good for people with mild acne not severe

Great

For three years, I've been trying so hard to get rid of my acne, but almost nothing has helped. but now, I've been using a tea tree facial scrub and cleanser from The Body Shop for about two weeks now. At first my skin broke out, but now it's clearer than it's been in years. It's still getting clearer everyday. I just use a foaming cleanser in the morning and night, and the facial scrub twice a week. It's almost like magic. Whenever I talk to someone who doesn't like their skin, i ALWAYS recommend the tea tree skincare line from The Body Shop. It's soooo amazing. I wouldn't recommend it, though, if you have really dry skin. If you do - just make sure you moisturize like crazy.

This is the best to use as a natural alternative to a pimple cream. If you have bad acne, you should try a product suggested in the regime because this only works for healing the occasional spot. I guess it's another product that works with some people and not everyone but worth a try.
