Pros:

It's not harsh, works quickly, doesn't dry out your skin or make it oily.

Cons:

None =)

I bought this product about 5 days ago & have been applying it 2-3 times a day everyday & oh my gosh... it works so well. I applied it the first night I got it & when I washed my face the next morning my face was far less bumpy & didn't look as oily throughout the day (my face can get really oily so that was awesome). The next day there was hardly any pimples at all & the ones that were there were smaller & less red. I got the tea tree oil gel because I heard that pure tea tree oil can be sort of harsh on your skin but I haven't tried it. When I get pimples they just won't fade but with tea tree oil even the pimples I had for at least a month are decreasing in size literally over night. Benzoyl peroxide felt really harsh on my face & made it red & kind of itchy but this is so mild & works so well. Sure the smell is strong but I don't mind it & I think it's worth it because the results are fantastic. Tea tree oil is awesome.

Pros:

It started to dry up my pimples almost as soon as I applied it. Works especially well on blind pimples. Takes the redness away and reduces inflammation.

Cons:

None

I've had acne since I was teen (now 40) and was on antibiotics for years. I've tried so many remedies (i.e. chinese herbs, infrared sauna, shea butter, etc). The first time I tried tea tree oil was years ago from the Body Shop and it didn't work (made my acne worse). I started using New Co. brand yesterday and I can already see an amazing difference.

Pros:

Makes my skin glow and dries out pimples pretty quickly.

Cons:

Does cause some whiteheads to appear initially, but apparently that is the oil being pulled up from your skin by the tea tree oil. The do go away with continued use.

Try it at least! Here is some scientific data: [link removed]

Pros:

It worked almost over night. Great alternative to other treatments not compatible with pregnancy.

Cons:

The smell. My husband and I find it hard to fall asleep because the smell keeps us up.

I have battled with acne since I was 10 and I am almost 22. I have tried almost every OTC and prescription but most are contraindicated in pregnancy. Tea tree oil was reccommended to me by my OB and I will never use anything else. I wish I would have found this stuff earlier. It would have made middle school and high school a lot easier :) !!!

Pros:

clears up flaky skin

Cons:

strong smell

I've been using TTO in my hair moisturizing spray and notice that I don't have the flakiness around my hair line and the dandruff has disappeared. I've just begun adding it to my face cream and love the clean, tingly feel that it gives my skin. Already I notice that my skin is less oily and less shiny. I am so excited to finally have found something natural and effective that I'm going to add TTO to all of my hair and skin products.

Pros:

it does clear skin

Cons:

will dry it out if you have sensitive skin.

I had really bad acne and I was feeling hopeless. I went to the health food store and got some Tea tree facial cleanser with awapuhi and at first it did dry the skin out however,,after continual use,,my face did adjust.I have natually oily skin so I just used my own moisture and oil in my skin to moisturize. I was in the morning and at night. then I use a toner occasionally but the tea tree is a great product just have to learn how to use it
