Tea Tree Oil

PLEASE READ BELOW Bottom line, my friend had very severe acne. She tried this product and it worked really well for her, she suggested that I should try it out, so I did. I went to the drug store and got a tiny bottle for over $10.00. So I thought, "This product better work." I opened it at home and my first thought, "THIS SMELLS HORRIBLE." The smell is awful, it's like worse than vinegar. But I was so desperate to get rid of my acne. I've tried -Spectro Jel -Spectro Dry Skin Jel -Spectro Lotion -Neostrata washes -Garnier Toner -Balea Scrub -Spectro Moisturizer -Proactiv (WORST DECISION) -A very expensive product I cant remember what it's called. -Clinique -Home remedies -TON MORE So I looked past the awful smell hoping this would really work. As soon as I put it on, my face burned. It burned for like an hour. And then when I woke up in the morning, there was literally flakes on my skin that I could PEEL OFF. I started to moisturize my skin and this product just did not work. No hope. I wouldn't recommend this. I guess it works for some people, but definitely not for me. If you have sensitive skin, don't use this. many of these reviews will be positive because I read them before I bought this product to. But take my advice, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. Save your money, and time. It's not very effective. And I wouldn't want anyone to go through this awful smell and awful product. Ew.

I'm an 18 year old girl and have been suffering from acne since I was 12. After a breakthrough on roaccutane when i was 14/15, i've seen over the last few years a gradual increase in my acne, though nothing like before i went on accutane. Previously I had tried 6 different prescribed doctors products, clearasil, pro-activ, clean and clear, 10% benzoyl peroxide (left me with a rash and perioral dermatitis)... you name it, I tried it and it failed. Anyway, the bottom line about tea tree oil is that I usually use it on weeping spots because of the antiseptic qualities it has. I can honestly tell you that someone who has experienced severe acne that with persistent spots, tea tree oil is not the one. It may work for those with light spots- but then, does that really count as acne? Personally I'm a believer in what goes in, shows on the outside. Before anyone can expect miracle results, you need to start taking care of your diet! (Currently i'm on multivitamins, iron, cod liver oil and cranberry tablets.)

I used it for about 3 weeks, and within the first week it made my skin feel alright and actually soft, and made the pimple less noticeable but never go away. As time progressed the same pimple would come back worst than before, more red and blotchy. Its possible I had a reaction to the Tea Tree Oil or something else, but sadly it didn't do the trick for me. It's different for everyone I guess.

it will either work for you, or it won't. for me it DIDNT!

i use a eucalyptus and tea tree oil bar soap to wash my face, which works extremely well for me, however i still had a few pimples i wanted to get rid of, and some scarring i wanted to lighten. i saw the rave reviews on here, and needing a spot treatment, i decided to give it a shot. i didn't think it would be a problem, considering it's already in my facewash that i love, so i put it on as a spot treatment one night. the next morning my scars already looked lightened and my zits had seemed to go down. so i decided to use it during the day too, again as a spot treatment, under lotion and makeup. i dont know if that's what did it, but after only a few days of this, i woke up one morning and i had like 5 cysts on one cheek, big, nasty red ones. my skin had been soooo close to being clear, with mainly scarring to be dealt with, and then BOOM, breakout over night. that NEVER happens to me. the places i broke out were the LAST places i EVER tend to break out. before buying, i had read some reviews of this happening to people, but thought it wouldn't happen to me because tea tree oil is already in my face wash, and seems to work great! but apparently putting undiluted tea tree oil even only on spots somehow causes more pimples. maybe it's purging or something, i dunno. but since i stopped using it as a spot treatment, my bumps are already on their way to being gone. maybe tea tree oil is only good as ONE of the ingredients in something. NOT as the sole ingredient. i mean, the bottle even says: Do NOT use full strength on face. But stupid me did it anyways. funny thing is, it never burned or itched or anything crazy. just caused huge red bumps that covered my left cheek! ugh. it sucks cause i was soo close to being completely clear. once again, my overzealousness got the best of me. i'm learning that sometimes it's better to settle for a few zits than take a chance and jeopardize your whole face.

This didn't work for me. I tried it undiluted, and it seemed to work, and i guess it just got too harsh for my skin and now i have red blotches on my skin that won't go away. I recommend diluting it first. I even tried diluting it into my face wash, and it hasnt really worked since.

It might work for some, but it won't work for others. Be aware of the fact.

The lady t The Body Shop recomended this for me and it was not god at all at least from the body shop it wasnt

As all the other products out there, try them and see if they work for you, 'cause everyone has different reactions to products. I actually thought this product would be the one for me, but it's not doing much right now and I feel like moving on from this product.

Might work for you, but it really didn't work for me.
