Tea Tree Oil

My first time trying tea tree oil was ok. I put drops onto cotton wool and applied all over my face. As my acne is pretty much everywhere. My face didn't burn or sting. however the oil has a very strong smell.

I'm currently using Thursday Plantation 100% pure tea tree oil. I've been using the oil onto my face to heal my acnes for about 3 months now and what I can say is it does helps to heal my acne faster. I add it as my last skin care step; apply it on my acne area every morning and night. I can see significant result only after one application. My acne shrink and less inflamed. I also like to apply the oil whenever after I popped my acne. To me, It is a very good anti inflammation and healing agent. It does dry my skin if I over use it or I use it alone at sensitive area eg: nose, eyebrow, lip area. So, do ensure you prep your skin before you apply it. It is not a scar removal, hence do not expect it can helps get rid of acne scars.

Dries out the skin too much, left my skin completely red and flaky. My skin felt terrible and did not help with my acne. TERRIBLE.

amazing at getting rid of pimples , but does tend to burn and leave a scab and scar .PS. my skin is sensitive

I never used to have any issues with my skin. Of course some breakouts when I was stressed or having my time of the month. Few months ago I quit smoking cigarettes. A week or so later, I had full blown acne. It then began to take over my chest as well. I tried everything. The main products that did improve my skin a bit was 1. st Ives blemish control exfoliant 2. witch hazel. 3. Mario bodescu spot treatment. Of course these helped but didn't really do a full effect for me. I picked up a bottle of 5$ tea tree oil and diluted a bit w water. I put it all over my chest and face and let me tell you the next morning there was a significant decrease in my acne, especially my chest and any scarring that was there. Yes it didn't 100% clear my skin right away, but there was an obvious difference in my skin. If anyone is feeling hopeless, give it a try!! It may work for you :)

It cleanses the skin very well, prevents inflammation, narrows the pores.

It may work for some people BUT IT DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE. Dabbed it on my pimples night after night, it did not worsen them, but showed absolutely no signs of healing. Doesn't work for everyone's skin.

It's very good, not miraculous, but works well on my mild/moderate acne. (Better than benzoyl peroxide, that's saying something). I apply it directly on my skin, but do a patch test, better to be safe than sorry.

Tea tree oil is great! Along with lavender oil, I use it "neat" on my acne areas (just a drop or so) to help calm redness down and kill bacteria. It seems to keep some acne at bay and DEFINITELY shrinks acne that I've popped. (I know, bad habit.)

When I began to use it I assumed it worked but my acne kept getting worse so turns out it didn't work
