Tea Tree Oil

been using this for a few months now and its fairly effective. however the key is CONSISTENCY. I only saw results once I'd been using it twice a day every day religiously for a couple of months. Stopped it for a week and boom, skin went horrible again with cysts etc. Back on it now though and its doing the job, clearing it up. I bought the 100% pure stuff from Boots and dilute it to about 5%, then apply to my face with cotton pads. I don't scrub too hard but you can see the dirt/oil coming off your face on the pad. leaves skin feeling a bit tight but at least you know its working. I had originally bought panoxyl 2.5% BP, I had started with very small amounts but to be honest didn't like the idea of putting something on my face that bleaches clothes! I read about the study that showed TTO had a comparable effect to BP but without the harsh side effects so decided to give it a go. so far i'm fairly pleased. It's not a miracle cure but the best thing I've found so far in terms of an every-day treatment. I would reccommend it, particularly if you're feeling apprehensive about using benzoyl peroxide

I find it works best if diluted with aloe vera gel

It alright, not the best of treatments for acne, or spots. Causes quite a bit of dryness,Worth the amount of meoney 100% I believe but Im not an expert read the other comments for further information

Sorry this is so long. I've gone through so many forums and looked for advice for so long, and I've seen a lot of people saying not to try tea tree oil because it'll destroy your skin??? So I was really scared to try tea tree oil at first. BUT I tried tea tree oil a few days ago and I already love it. I tried using it as a spot treatment the first night and when I woke up, the spot was dried out and already going down. I've started using a little bit all over my face when I get out of the shower and my skin is still a little wet. Then I use coconut oil as a moisturizer, especially because tea tree oil can kind of dry your skin out in unwanted places. I love the fresh feeling the tea tree oil gives my skin and I love it even more because it has a very earthy kind of smell. I struggle with mild hormonal acne, but I unfortunately also struggle with cystic acne (which may also be hormonal related, but I'm not entirely sure). I had just one cyst on my cheek and I used a little bit of tea tree oil on it and it's nearly flat. I should probably also mention that I've been put on minocycline in attempt to reduce the bacteria and get everything under control- mainly for the cystic acne because it was so severe and painful. I think it's worked pretty alright, but I feel like my routine is really what's been giving me good results. I think I'll always struggle with at least mild acne, but I feel a lot more confident now. I also feel a lot better about getting taken off the medication because I have a set routine now.

Tea Tree Oil works like BP but is less irritating especially when diluted. I use 3/4 Tea Tree, 1/4 Olive Oil as a toner/moisturizer. I haven't found a reason to stop as it's never caused me to break out or been drying in any way. It leaves my skin very soft. Smells pretty bad but whathe smell goes away as it dries. Definitely something that should be paired together with another acne treatment. I really like it because it brings the severity of my acne down to a type that I can control more easily with other products. Tea Tree Oil also kills bacteria on the skin and helps the acne from spreading.

YES. This is a wonderful product and works great to remove pimples. I have the roll-on kind. I use in with a dab of 10% benzoil peroxide over my whole face, then roll on the tea tree oil on every pimple. When I wake up in the morning 50% of my pimples are gone. I really really recommend this product.

Within the first week I noticed that the deep pimples on my chin were getting smaller and the redness was slowly disappearing. Although, a couple of days after the first week I had a breakout around my mouth. I'm still not sure whether it was from the cleanser I was using (clean&clear advantage pimple control cleanser) or if it was the tea tree oil.

I am 23, white, female, I've had terrible acne since I was 10. I have been using TTO for about 5 months, and I am very happy with the results. I still need to be consistant with my regimine for it to work. I spot treat big pimples by applying TTO to a cotton-ball tip and apply several times/day. I have watched dark, red post-acne marks fad gradually. (It doesn't clear-up right away, it takes several appliances.) Example: Last night, I applied the oil to numerous pimples on my face before bed, and I woke up and many of the zits down-sized to a little red mark, and the pimple was gone. It works great, and I have beceome used to the smell. I bought a small bottle (1 oz) and it lasted me this entire 5 months. Here is what the bottle says, "delivers natural skin relieft, know for its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. Natural bacteria fighting topical oil. Massage on face, body and hands." It doesn't cure my acne, but it does help clear up my skin and post-ance marks. I recommend this natural product!

I have had mild acne since I was 12. Recently, at 17 years old, I noticed a hard lump under my skin near my upper lip, which I later found out was a sebaceous cyst. I had had this cyst for approximately six months when I came across tea tree oil. I applied the oil each night for about two weeks without diluting it, and eventually the cyst formed a pore. I was able to pop the cyst and it has never come back since! Before using TTO I was contemplating having the unsightly cyst surgically removed which had the potential to cause a scar. With TTO, no scar formed and my skin went back to normal. TTO caused a little dryness but the end result was worth it.
