Pros:

Can help dry out zits and leave your skin feeling cool and soft

Cons:

Made my face break out in a swollen pimple like rash, and very red and irritated

Basically, If you have sensitive skin like I do, be careful using tea tree oil, it's VERY drying, and made my face 100x worse. I would recommend it to people who don't have a problem with drying.

Pros:

Natural
Can work very well

Cons:

Doesnt work for everyone

i put a few drops of TOT in my moisturiser and spread it all over my face. it was going well until about 2 weeks later. i had MASSIVE lumps over my forehead which i had never had before and severe acne all over my face. i think it might of clogged my pores up or something. My sis just dabs a bit of tea trea oil on a cotton bud on puts it on individual spots, she has had no problems. i guess we react differently, so i would be careful when purchasing this product.

Pros:

Natural
Works without a lot of irritation
Very cheap

Cons:

Works very slowly
I needed to use benxoyl peroxide sometimes in conjunction to speed up process. This combonation worked good because if I use only benzoyl peroxide my face gets irritated and my pores clog up with dead skin and I break out more

The key to this product working is to make sure you put it on morning and night. It is an antiseptic so if you constantly have an antiseptic barrier on your face the p acne bacterias will not have a chance to grow.

Pros:

Reduces redness, soothing, tingling sensation, is vert effective as a spot treatment

Cons:

Smells strong, will dry skin too mich if not diluted

This is the best thing I've ever used on my acne. I dilute a free drops in a tablespoon of 99% pure aloe vera gel, and use that as a spot treatment. It will last a very long time if used this way, which actually makes It less expensive than the drugstoe stuff by a long run. Worked much better than benzyol peroxide and salicylic acid. And it is less drying and much better for your skin. My skin is also very sensitive and dry to begin with.

Pros:

Nice cooling sensation, gives that clean feeling after use, light tingle, doesn't irritate my skin, reduced redness and acne

Cons:

Smells very strong, but doesn't last. Smells stongest and lasts longest first use. Smell also lingers for a while, but less concentrated. Probably wouldn't want to use it before you go out. Has a sort of minty smell, if you like that kind of scent

I have pretty good skin, as far as acne goes, but it always bugs me how some sections of my face are smooth and clear, while others are red and bumpy. I wanted to have all of it smooth and clear, but all the kits and washes didn't seem to work right. So, I did some research and was immediately interested in tea tree oil when I read about it. So I went out and bought it. I really love it. I bought it just the other day at Target, it was the last bottle! I used it before I went to bed, and when I woke up, my skin had visibly gone down in redness. It sounds crazy, but my skin actually feels happy now that I'm using it. I just dab a bit on a cotton ball and wipe it all over my face, apply mosturizer if I feel that I need it, and I'm good! I'm not a fan of the smell, but I guess I don't mind it too much. I can't wait for it to clean up the rest of my acne and keep it that way :)!

Pros:

You can feel it work with this powerful burn, its fun.
I use it straight from the bottle with a cotton bud but you should be aware that you may need to dilute. so far im at the flaking stage and this is the first week so it moves at a decent pace.

Cons:

the smell, fine if you're not going anywhere but a little obvious if you are.

try it, its working for me, none of this body shop crap, go to a specialist health shop.

Pros:

good for sensitive skin (just apply the correct diluted amount)

Cons:

-not so fast in clearing acne scars

I have tried body shop's tea tree oil and I broke out. But now I am using a tea tree oil from my derma and it worked amazingly. Maybe they differ in concentration?I don't know. So I advice those who have broke out with body shop's tea tree oil to try using other brands of tea tree oil. It might work out for you as well.

Pros:

Completely cleared up my back and I have tried everything. Try it!

Cons:

I don't mind the smell, I just used it at night. But it can be strong at first. It can also be slightly drying for sensitive skin like mine.

I had backne for forever. I tried prescriptions and everything. I decided to take the natural approach and bought pure 100% tea tree oil. It cleared it up completely within a week. You have to buy "Melaleuca alternifolia" (a certain species that has the healing effect). I just got my bottle from Target (cheap!). I diluted it in water (8 parts water for every 1 part tree tree oil) and poured on a cotton swab. I love it and strongly recommend it.
