Pros:

It is so good, it helps with the severe of any acne, trust me this stuff is worth buying...

Cons:

it burns a little and the smell is very very strong.

I have been in the struggle with acne since i hit puberty at age around 13.. i then started growing acne on my back and thats when things got worse for me, i was embarresed to take of my shirt at amusement parks water rides, at a beach and anywhere the shirt had to be takened off. acne causes scars and thats what makes my back look nasty, but thanks too this that have been removing my blemishes, i should soon be able to show it all off.

Pros:

This stuff works on the big ones!

Cons:

It is VERY drying and must be diluted; application can be kind of a pain but is worth it.

I dip a q-tip in my desert essence 100% Australian tea tree oil, then squeeze drops of the oil onto a moistened cotton ball and apply all over my face. Then I take the q-tip and apply pure, undiluted oil to individual pimples. Has shrunken two huge cysts within about 3 days, but oddly enough is not working as quickly on smaller pimples. Contrary to others, I love the smell (it's herbally and very refreshing) and I like the tingle I get when this stuff is applied. Good stuff, and natural! Better than applying harsh chemicals to your face.

Pros:

I LOVE it! It dries up pimples and is great as a spot treatment. I have light "acne" I get break-outs during PMS esp. whiteheads on my forhead and this WORKS GREAT!

Cons:

some people don't like the smell but I LOVE it, dries skin slightly.

I LOVE this product, i recently began using it after high end products such as Vichy and Clinique failed for me. I have light acne (i only break out on my forehead) and this works PERFECTLY for me. I just dilute it in a bit of water and put it all over my forehead, you can actually feel it working. Me and my brother swear by this product ( I use the Jamison one, since I trust it as a good vitamin supplement line). It's great and I highly recommend it especially for those stubborn whiteheads!!

Pros:

It tries up my zits completely

Cons:

It also tries out your skin with continuous use

It smells pretty strong, but put it on a night and you will wake up to way better skin!!! I even rub it all over my chest at night. This by far is the best acne treatment money can buy!

Pros:

Cleared up outbreak within 2 weeks. Helps keep zits away.

Cons:

STRONG smell.

I had a horrible outbreak that would not go away. It was itchy and just so sore! Nothing like I have had before. BP just made it worse. So I found tea tree oil myself! and started taking DOXY (from my doc) and it finally went away ,after 3 months of asking around and no one having a solution. Now I wash with a tea tree oil face wash, oil spot treatments, night repair lotion, and body wash. ITS WORKING GREAT! And its natural. So try it..what have u got to lose? Remember it will take a few weeks to see results and to rub in the pure t.t. oil well into skin.

Pros:

Give it a couple days and it's awesome!

Cons:

Takes a few days to work

I love this face wash. I have sensitive skin, but it didn't burn my face. Some people say it smells. Personally, I think it has a very good, medicinal smelling smelly smell. =)

Pros:

works quickly, clears up redness and pimples

Cons:

smells kind of funky

works well but dont waste your money on the cleansers and toners and moistureizers etc... just buy the one from the body shop (15%) and dab it on randomyl during the day.

Pros:

Dries pimple quickly. Natural product.

Cons:

Drying to the skin. Can seal over a pimple, leaving infection inside. Ineffective on bumps. Strong smell.

After reading about tea tree oil here, I decided to give it a try. Mine is 100% pure oil. I dab in on pimples at night, not all over. The smell is strong but I got used to it. It has seemed to help pimples but not bumps. It's too strong to used twice daily, so I use it only at night. I have only mild acne after quitting birth control, but it's still annoying. I'm also using witch hazel at night. It's worth a try if you don't like using chemicals on your skin. I paid $11 for one ounce, but I only use a few drops a day.

Pros:

Natural, powerful whiteheads and blackheads loose from the skin, refreshing, leaves the complex smooth and helps heal acne and doesnt irrate. A few drops in a facail

Cons:

be careful and dont load it on as it will sting & make your skin red in places.Just use sparingly as it is powerful stuff and too much will only irritate your skin and lead to further break outs as i have experienced!

A drop added in facial sauna is great and really cleans out the pores and gives your skin a healthy glow. Also a little drop added in with your facail wash really helps and makes your skin feel very clean and refreshed. This stuff really helps and works deep in the pores it will bring the whitehead to the top but after a few days it will be gone and leads to more clean, clear skin patience and time is needed as it will take at least a couple of months for it to clean out your pores and if you stick to a strict regime everyday you will notice good results! Also eating healthy and drinking plenty of water and getting enough fresh air and excerise will help alot doing this will help with whats going on in the inside and helps heal acne faster! hope this helps and good luck to all and give TTO a go it really helps.

Pros:

inexpensive, can be used for multiple things

Cons:

tastes terrible, a little stinky

I used it for a fever blister and noticed that the area where it got smeared under my lip was very clear and even colored. It worked great on the fever blister. It was the only thing that gave me relief. (have to continue to reapply) I also used it when my son got stung by a jellyfish.
