Tea Tree Oil

I get recurring excema on face with acne on chin. I add a drop of tea tree oil to my moisturizer and apply to face. Adding to lotion reduces smell and direct oil to skin contact. This has worked fantastic! This allows me to moisturize my face without breakouts AND it's cleared the excema patch on the left side of face. ALSO works on toe nails!

I always dab tea tree oil onto a spot when one comes up and it makes them disappear much quicker! I also love that I'm putting something natural on my skin!

it did not clear all of my acne, so my face was never fully clear, i personally think bp is better but bp is more drying than this, but i still think everyone should try it, cuz theres no harm in trying it might work better for you than it did for me

My skin was normal and not sensitive at all before I used this product. My breakouts were only one or two small pimples here and there occasionally..otherwise, I had perfect skin. I tried this product as my friend simply raved about it saying how she never has pimples because of it. I used it one time at night before I went to bed. The next day I woke up and my face felt itchy and painful. I rushed to the bathroom mirror and my face was completely red and covered in cystic-like acne and acne vulgaris. It was so terrible and happened so fast (overnight) that my own brother could not recognize me. At first, we thought it was an allergic reaction to the product so my parents brought me the doctor. He simply diagnosed it as a severe case of acne and unable to explain how it suddenly happened. Determined, my parents brought me to several dermatologists hoping to fix my "mess up". My parents ended up spending thousands of dollars with many dermatologists only to finally give up 3 years later. I first used this product when I was 17 years old. I am now 25 and still paying the price. It has only been recently that my face has gotten better. However in place of all the acne are now many enlarged pores, scars, and "craters". What's worse is that my face is now very sensitive to many products so I am not even able to wear any kind of make-up without breaking out. I would not wish the emotional trauma this has caused me to even my worst enemy. I would give anything to have my perfect skin back with the occasional small pimples here and there. On a final note, please please, if you really insist on trying any products, find a GOOD dermatologist and consult with him/her first. It would also be best to test a patch of skin first for any harmful reactions. Everyone's skin may react differently to any product and it is better to be safe than sorry especially when it concerns your face.

From reading many of the reviews the bad ones seem to be from people using the Body Shop line of tea tree oil, wonder why that is. But I got a small bottle from Trader Joe's and so far it works good. I like the tingly feeling, feels like its working. Immediately after putting it on a couple pimples ive noticed a decrease in size. Im just starting out so theres still much to clear up.

I used Tea Tree Oil for a few weeks and, at first it was my wonder product, then it was not. The oil burnt my face, leaving it red and inflamed. My acne, which was under control and nearly gone, practically exploded. I got cysts, pimples, redness...everything. It was awful and it was really difficult to manage. I went to a dermatologist a month or so later. My acne had been mild, it was now moderatly severe. Now, this breakout had practically made me a hermit. It was the last straw and I got fairly depressed, dysmorphic and anti-social. It affected me and my family. My dermatologist said to NEVER USE TEA TREE OIL because it will mess your skin up; now and/or in the long run. My verdict is: The risk is not worth it. I'm still getting over the nodules that the tea tree caused. Now, go to your doctor and listen to what they say. Go to a dermatologist and listen to what they have to say. At the end of the day though, its up to you, your skin and how you react. Cheers.

I am not sure if it has been long enough to judge its effectiveness when concerning acne considering I have only been using it for four days. I will say, though, that I have not had a blemish since my first application. However, it has been WORKING WONDERS on my extremely oily skin. My skin has not been slick with oil since I started using it. This is the first time ever that I have seen such results with a product and I am really impressed. I STRONGLY recommend it to any individual that is having problems with oily skin. It should also be noted that if it controls oil then it should control acne since it is a main culprit in causing breakout if not maintained. My regimen is: After I wash my face I put about a dime size of aloe vera on my hand and on top of the mound I add a drop of tea tree oil and mixed it with my fingertips before I smooth it over my face. I then apply my moisturizer. I hope it works for everybody else!

The product i bought was a tea tree oil blemish stick. After having a large breakout my mum suggested it. I tried it to good sucess, it helps soothe the acne while reducing it. I found it usefull however i wouldnt just use it on its on.

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.

I tried tea tree oil, but it was ineffective. I used it every day for about two weeks, but there was no difference in my acne. In fact, the first day I used the oil, I didn't dilute and it worsened my acne. After that, I diluted it but it still didn't do anything. Moreover, the smell is incredibly strong. Thankfully my roommate kind of liked the smell, but if you're living with someone, the smell is very powerful. All in all, an ineffective and expensive product. Did absolutely nothing to my acne.
