I just want to say that for all of you hoping that this is a miracle product, IT'S NOT! Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic......so it helps get rid of the bacteria that causes acne. It won't necessarily solve the problem, but it's worth a try.

Pros:

It helps with new pimples if you catch them right away. I was able to stop a good amount before they fully formed. Doesn't dry my skin out, but my skin is naturally oily to begin with.

Cons:

Nonetheless, it hasn't helped me stop my acne from appearing. I just recently got two large cysts last week that are just now healing.My skin is still very red in those spots. It also smells strong.

I think it good to keep around for the occasional zit that you can catch early. Also, it wouldn't hurt to mix a few drops in your regular toner. I feel it isn't any miracle cure, then again most of know there isn't one otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.

Pros:

Dries pimples up fast, all natural remedy, reduces scaring and future breakouts.

Cons:

Smell is strong, makes skin dry out

I have tried almost every product on the market for acne and nothing ever worked for me. I've been using tee tree oil for a few weeks now and I have to say my face looks 50% better then it did when I first started. It brings pimples to a white head which is just pulling all the bad stuff out of your face. After a few weeks I noticed I've hardly had any new pimples form. Just a few little ones. I put it on morning and night after washing my face with a type of cleanser. It tends to dry the skin out though so I put a moisturizer on after the tee tree oil dries. I usually just dab the pimples and scaring areas using a Q-tip or cotton ball. Sometimes I'll rub fresh aloe from the plant on my face after applying the oil, seems to help even out the tone of my skin. I say tee tree oil is definitely worth a try...make sure it's 100* pure. I'll update again in a few weeks.

Pros:

reduces pustules within a few days

Cons:

burns, dries out skin

Tea tree oil has helped me reduce the number of pimples, but it's not completely getting rid of it. Plus, I've gotten a boil when I was using tea tree oil. Maybe I need to use it a little longer. Although, I'm not sure if it was worth the $7 for a 1-ounce vial.

Pros:

Dries out acne

Cons:

Causes migraines. Releases estrogen. Causes breast growth in boys.

[link removed]

I really liked this stuff until I started getting massive & unmanageable migraines 3 weeks into using it. (I rarely, if EVER, get headaches). Then my breasts started to become very sore, so I thought I should look up the side affects. Lo & behold, studies have shown that Tea Tree Oil releases estrogen into the body. This would explain the hormonal headaches & breast tenderness. I stopped using it yesterday. Hopefully my hormones will adjust themselves quickly! Scary. Do not use.

Pros:

inexpensive, clears zits up QUICK, reduces redness

Cons:

smells funky, kinda burns/tingles

I swear by tea tree oil. I used to be on EVERY type of acne medication OTC and prescription, proactive, etc. This oil is the one product I love. Just use a Q-tip to put the oil on. I like to put it on in the morning before putting my make-up on...and the redness and size of any pimple goes down almost immediately. Clears up pimples in a couple of days. I also use Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Fash Wash with Tea Tree Oil & Awapuhi twice daily...and once a week I'll wash with the Proactive face scrub. Hope this helps!

Clears up skin, softens, brightens & beautifies! Wonderful, pleasant bold smell. makes pores disappear!

Cons:

none! :)

why wouldn't you try it! its simply the sh*t. it works for me so its most likly to work for you. i wouldn't recommend it for people with dry skin. i use it sparingly around and on my problem areas.. but my problem areas are disappearing :) i also use Aveeno Ultra calming moisturizer. its great. if you use this combo wait 10 minutes to apply moisturizer or ull burn your face :S but youll be fine. i use Aveeno tone and brighten face scrub. it works great tea tree oil is great

Pros:

Its affordable and I feel like it is working fast. I wanted to tell others that I have found something new for acne. It is called HIBICLENS; it contains Chlorhexidine used in surgical procedures and as a surgical wash, it kills microbials on the skin

Cons:

the same as tea tree oil does. You can buy HIBICLENS at CVS, Rite Aid or walgreens in the band aid aisle in a tourqouis bottle for like 10 bucks. I even was my chest and shoulders in it.

Try it, it is worth a try! Acne is caused by the bacteria on the skin so HIBICLENS should kill it.
