Pros:

It gets rid of a lot of dirt and oil

Cons:

It doesn't clear acne all by itself

I've been using witch hazel, followed by tea tree oil. I was amazed at how much oil and dirt from my face was on the cotton ball after I used the tea tree oil. Thats how I know that it's good at getting rid of the oil on your face. My acne isn't as bad as it was, but there are still some pimples that have come back. Also, when you use it, make sure you rub your face hard, and you only need a small amount on the cotton ball.

Not terrible or brilliant

Pros:

Made skin feel clean
Inexpensive

Cons:

Strong smell
Not very effective

I found it made very little difference to my comedonal acne/ clogged pores that I was trying to target. I used it for around 3 months with not much noticeable difference. It didn't help my acne, but it didn't make it worse either

Pros:

Dried up pimples quickly
Natural product
Cheap and effective

Cons:

Smelly
Crusty skin

I love using natural products. Before I started the regimen I used tea tree oil day and night to dry up breakouts. It worked but dried it too much in the end. The best natural product I have found for my acne though.

Pros:

- Fades pimples
- Cheap

At night and in the morning I would put a cotton swab into the tea tree oil and hold it onto my pimple for about 20 seconds.

Cons:

- Hard to find in stores
- Take sooooo long to work!

It does stop the pimple from getting any bigger but it took 2 days for me to see a small difference in the colour, not in size. I would not look to this product if you want a pimple going fast but I would use it as a starting product to stop the formation.

???
When I first started having acne I searched online how to treat acne and I think it was on wikihow where I found this product. So I went to Traders Joe and bought their 100% Australian Tea Tree Oil for $6. The first time I opened the bottle...omg that smell... then when I applied it on my skin...wow it burns but it feels good in a way. I used it for three months and I didn't really notice any difference so I stopped using it. You see they say for this product its suppose to be for long term treatment, but there's also this saying where if you don't see any difference on your skin in months then this product is not suitable for you. Also my boyfriend couldn't tolerate the smell... I would apply this every night before I go to bed. Then my boyfriend would stuff his face with his pillow so he wouldn't have to smell it. haha I felt bad he had to go through this so it was another reason I chose to stop using this product.

Pros:

Not clogging
Kind of effective on large pimples

Cons:

Irritates skin
Does not reduce redness

I used tea tree oil on and off because I found it ineffective. I find it irritating on my skin no better how I dilute it and has not reduced any redness. I do not recommend this for those who have very sensitive skin.

Pros:

Dries up pimples real quick
Kills bacteria
Good for you

Cons:

Smelllss baddd
Can burn if you put too much esp around eyes

I usto use tea tree oil for mosquito bites to stop the itch and redness. So it only makes sense that it would do the same for my pimples. Its cheap and a very naturale spot treatment ,if your someone that uses toothpaste as a spot treatment u really need to update. It does dry out your pimples and it kills bacteria but pouring it all over your face will not do you any good. Its a caustic solution so for allover application you might want to dilute it. Idk if its a cure to acne because its only makes pimples dat yu have go away idk if it really prevents dem. Keep in mind when pimples surface dey r actually the last stage of the acne that pimples might have been deyr days or weeks before it surfaced. So idt this product cures acne but it helps u maintain it.

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:

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.
