Pros:

- Fades pimples
- Cheap

At night and in the morning I would put a cotton swab into the tea tree oil and hold it onto my pimple for about 20 seconds.

Cons:

- Hard to find in stores
- Take sooooo long to work!

It does stop the pimple from getting any bigger but it took 2 days for me to see a small difference in the colour, not in size. I would not look to this product if you want a pimple going fast but I would use it as a starting product to stop the formation.

This product made my skin even worse, I had moderate acne, after a few days use it then became severe and my whole face was red! If you have sensitive skin AVOID this!

Pros:

Good smell (IMO), reduces acne without much drying of the skin, reduces redness also.

Cons:

Expensive (one bottle costs 12€ :S )

Apply three of four drops to a cotton bud and rub onto whole face. Will reduce redness, swelling and blistering. Do twice a day, once after getting up, another before sleep.

Pros:

Tingly fresh clean feeling after applying, Makes your skin very clear and soft, evens skin tone, reduces redness

Cons:

none to me though others complain about the smell or dryness/burning I don't get these affects I have normal skin not too oily or dry.

I've been using Tea Tree oil for around 3 weeks. I love the fresh feeling after you apply it - very tingly / cool refreshing, the smell is strong but I like it. Clears your skin quite fast, prevents pimples and evens skin tone. I use just normal tea tree oil strait out of the bottle with cotton pads firstly dampen pad and then apply small amount of Tea tree oil wipe face morning and night So far my skin tone has improved 100% less pimples and redness, pimples don't seem to flare up anymore. My whole face looks brighter and feels so soft. I recommend anyone to use not only people with acne! Fantastic product :)

Pros:

Clears face
No chemicals
Multiple Uses

Cons:

Stong Smell
May burn sensitive skin (be sure to dilute)

Tea Tree Oil is absolutely amazing. I use the hemp/tea tree oil soap for a good all over scrub and then apply diluted pure tea tree oil to my face with a cotton ball. I find that the best way to prevent and clear acne is to watch my diet, avoid sodas and too much sugar. Exercise. If Im going to wear make up it has to be the pure, natural stuff.. And wash face morning and night.. then apply tea tree oil. When I ate raw foods for a week straight my face completely cleared... (I believe diet is key)

Pros:

Gets rid of AND prevents zits and acne every time!

Cons:

temporary smell that goes away in a short while

Tea tree oil has worked for me for years! If I don't use it I break out. If I eat chocolate I break out, but if I am using tea tree oil EVERY DAY I never ever break out. If I forget and start to have a zit I just use tea tree oil and it goes away. I have told my friends and strangers about this for several years now. FABULOUS PRODUCT! I get mine from Whole Foods. Just don't get it in your eyes!

Pros:

Reduces redness, my skin is less oily, acne is slowly vanishing, safer than benzoil peroxide, multi-purpose (cuts, bites, ect.).

Cons:

Has a strong smell, but I got used to it.

Well, I was on BP for about a year, then found some distrubing things about long-term use of BP. I tried other natural product, but just broke out worse. Then, I found out that BP makes your acne more resistant. I then started using tea tree oil (undiluted) and my acne is slowly fading, Had some whiteheads come up, but left them alone and they are gone! I have combo skin, so it dries out the normal parts of my face a bit, so I use an oil-fre moisturizer. Once my acne is competely cleared up, I will dilute the oil and just use the 100% for spot treatment. While tea tree oil has been link to some other things (rare estrogen production, sesitization), I would rather have that than premature aging and tumors growing on my face (from BP). Even "natural products", you would be surprised as to some of the harmful chemicals in them. The Body shop line has restricted ingredients. So far, tea tree oil has the least amount of risks I have found and it seems to be doing great!

Pros:

Works amazingly. You can feel how clean your skin is afterward. Completely got rid of my blemishes and pimples. I'm now zit-free and am not prone to breakouts as much as I used to be.

Cons:

People complain about the smell. Frankly, I guess because I've been doing it for years, I like the smell now. It took getting used to, but it definitely wasn't unbearable. Also, it dries your skin, so use a moisturizer afterward.

Tea Tree Oil was recommended to me by a hair stylist I used to go to. I went and bought it at my local pharmacy, tried it, and I really liked the burney, tingley sensation. It didn't hurt, but there was definitely a burning there. After a few minutes my face felt so clean. After a three or four days, my pimples were completely gone. After a week, my face was one even color. No red, no blemishes at all. Now the only time I ever break out is right before I get my period, but I no longer get an embarrassing amount when I do. One or two, which are usually gone in two days max. I always buy 100% Tea Tree Oil. I don't trust products that say they use it in their ingredients. 100% has always worked the best for me. Desert Essence makes a good one.

Pros:

It reduces redness, and helps with oil

Cons:

The smell is really stong [I could learn to love it though]

I used it nate [undiluted] I wiped it all over face, let dry then put on oil free moisturizer mixed with 3drops of lavender oil. It has been working pretty awesome. My skin wasn't really bad, but enough to make me insecure. Be prepared to exfoliate every other day for the first week or so [I just use half brown sugar and half white]. Do this so the dry skin you are sure to have won't end up clogging pores, giving you more acne. Use it, it can't hurt to try... if you have dryish skin, do the tea tree oil solution 3:10. Otherwise, your skin will probably start to peel. I'm going to post another review after 3 weeks, then after 6, after 8, after 6months. :) Hopefully with good news!

Pros:

The best product I have EVER used to clear my skin. PLEASE try this if you are running out of options.

Cons:

None. None. And none.

Where do I begin??? There is nothing bad about this product. It has honestly SAVED MY LIFE. Everyone on here knows how debilitating acne can be, so I think most of you can understand that moment when we find something that we think will end our suffering. I have tried everything short of accutane and drained my savings on expensive treatments (I think I spent almost $2000 on peels, microderm, colonics, vitamins, cleanses, meds, and products) all to no avail. NOTHING worked. Not even a little bit. I was on Antibiotics for 6 months with no help whatsoever. AND THEN I bought a $13 bottle of Tea Tree Oil thinking "What the hell!!!" and it has honestly been a godsend. I have dehydrated DRY skin and it with all the acne treatments it was looking very weathered. Not to mention the scars and hyperpigmentation. Not only is TTO keeping me clear (I hope I don't jinx myself) but it is softening my old marks and it doesn't dry my skin out at all.
