Pros:

Doesn't dry out my skin. Has kept most of my breakouts under control.

Cons:

It takes a while to dry, but that's about it. I don't mind the smell.

I would strongly recommend this product. I use a higher concentration of it because I feel it works best on my normal to oily skin.

Pros:

Good for acne.

Cons:

Smell, but you get used to it.

I like tea tree oil, is good for my skin, my skin looks smoother and also dries up my pimples. I wish I had found out long time ago.

Pros:

Natural, effective when used as a spot treatment and could be added to your cleanser for an additional treatment. It's clear and can be used under makeup.

Cons:

Strong Smell and could be over drying "if" applied too often.

I have used tea tree oil for about one year as a spot treatment and when my acne flares I add 1 to 3 drops into my cleanser as an added acne treatment. To date this has been one of the best treatments I have used. (I've been on everything including accutane, and minocycline) I purchased a 50:50 mixture of lavender oil and tea tree oil from the Vitamin Shoppe and to my surprise it worked better than tea tree oil on its own. Lavender is calming and reduces redness, tea tree oil is known for its antiseptic properties.

Pros:

Conrols breakouts, dries blemishes quickly, quickens healing of already popped or inflamed blemishes, reduces amount of blackheads over time

Cons:

none

I use a couple drops mixed in with an aloe and glycerin based gel I got in a waxing kit. So far, the combination has worked wonders on my stubborn breakouts and has even helped to accelerate healing on my face, causing all those pits and boxcars-to-be mesh back into my healthy skin. Though not a fan of Neutrogena, I use the Oil- Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Cream Cleanser, I combine this with BeFine's Firming Toner as it contains a natural source of salicylic acid. The gel and tea tree oil I use as a daytime moisturizer, and during the night I use a vitamin c cream with the tea tree. I have 2 spots, but you can thank hormones for that ;)

Pros:

inexpensive, clears zits up QUICK, reduces redness

Cons:

smells funky, kinda burns/tingles

I swear by tea tree oil. I used to be on EVERY type of acne medication OTC and prescription, proactive, etc. This oil is the one product I love. Just use a Q-tip to put the oil on. I like to put it on in the morning before putting my make-up on...and the redness and size of any pimple goes down almost immediately. Clears up pimples in a couple of days. I also use Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Fash Wash with Tea Tree Oil & Awapuhi twice daily...and once a week I'll wash with the Proactive face scrub. Hope this helps!

Pros:

dries out acne... QUICK

Cons:

the smell isn't pleasant at first, but believe it or not, i've learned to like it!

IT IS WORTH TRYING!! Some people find it expensive (about 5-10 dollars for a few ozs) but it lasts a pretty long time, therefore I don't find it expensive at all.
