Cons:

NONE!

THE BEST!

Pros:

Works really great, soaks into skin pretty fast, dries up blemishes and acne and overall looks to be improving my skin's texture and look. I use the 100% Australian stuff and don't dilute it because my skin isn't sensitive, works great!

Cons:

None!

Buy this! There are next to no bad side effects, other than people with sensitive skin saying that it dries their skin out, but you can always dilute it with water if that's the case. My skin can handle the 100% and it works wonders on it. I'm sad I didn't use this sooner! It is a little expensive for the amount you get (2-3 or so ounces) but it works great, I don't use any BP or any products anymore just this!

Pros:

It has a lovely smell and unlike other products has not caused any irritation to my skin!

Cons:

It unfortunately doesn't seem to be improving my acne, more or less just keeping it stable and under control. I bought the 100% tea tree oil from the body shop and facial toner, matifying moisturiser, facial exfoliater, foaming face wash, face mask

It is good for keeping my acne under control BUT no signifcant improvement has been made. I haven't broken out since using this product BUT it hasn't cleared up any of the remaining spots. I will continue to use because all the other products I had tried were clearing up the acne I had but then I was breaking out in other areas. I am going to recommend it but I do not guarantee that it will help you. Also it was wuite expensive to buy all the tea tree oil products and it came to well over 30-40 pounds.

Pros:

Those of you who have acne-- I have found the best product line over the weekend. It is called LUSH. You can order it off line--expensve but worth it! I saw results in two days. Get the ocean salt scub and then follow it up with the tea tree oil.

Cons:

There is none!

I recommend getting the smaller size bottles of both to make sure they work for you. I have been using them in the am and pm. I've had acne since I was 12 and I'm now 22. I have used everything under the sun including accutane. Lush products are the first I have used and saw immediate results. It is WELL work the money! It leaves my skin REAL soft. Also, I've heard that tea tree oil has a smell. Lush's tea tree oil has no smell and comes in a spritz container. Get the product--no joke it could just be the best thing you will use. If the results keep getting better for me, i might just not have to go back to the dermatologist!

Pros:

WOW! works on spots and redness very fast! it only takes a few days and you notice the difference. seems to keep the general balance of skin in check.

Cons:

non

i use %100 tee tree oil - first i use hot water to open my pores and use good clean face wash then i apply a drop of oil in my hand and rub it on my face - then i fill the sink with freezing cold water and dunk my face in it, i also add a few more drops to the cold water - the cold water closes up pores with tee tree oil deep in the skin - then pat dry - you will see the difference in one wash! i do this twice a day - also quit smoking - do exercise - drink lots of water - and relax!

Pros:

Works fast at least for me

Cons:

Can be a liitle expensive, dris out the skin

I used so many products and nothing has seemed to work. I had very bad acne and hated looking in the mirror. My cousin was the one that introduced me to tea tree. I lie to you not, after the first week of using we both noticed a major difference. I could not believe it. I literally cried my eyes out. I was so surprised to see how fast it had worked. I've had many people tell me that my face looks really good. Now my mother uses the line. All I can say is just give it a try and if it doesn't work for you just keep looking for what works for you

Pros:

really good at removing the acne, makes skin feel good

Cons:

makes my eyes water like crazy!

So I just started using it like two days ago and already I see a difference. I bought the one from The Body Shop. I used it as a spot treatment over my moisturizer (once the moisturizer wasnt wet on my skin anymore) and within a few days I see the big ones already starting to go away. I like the herbally smell although it seems like a lot of people on here don't. it relaxes me. also it stings a bit at first on the open zits but it stops fast and it feels your skin feeling healthier.

Pros:

clears red marks extremely well, no breakouts since starting use

Cons:

the only stuff i could find came in a very small bottle (15mL)

long story short, 3 days before starting school i had some huge cysts and was rummaging through all of my old acne fighting supplies to try to get rid of it. i saw some tea tree oil i had bought but never really tried and looked it up online a bit and gave it a try. what i ended up doing was: cleanser (cetaphil) let face dry mix shot glass of water with 3 drops of tea tree oil, use cotton ball to wipe on face and let dry apply benzyclin (i'd guess any benzol peroxide would work to some extent) moisturize if needed (cetaphil moisturizer) also drinking lots of water in about 3 days all of my red marks from this summer have faded to almost nothing and the three huge angry red pimples are flat and fading rapidly. really worth a try, its the only thing that's worked this well for red marks for me and i've been trying to figure that problem out for about 6 years. note: i hear both TTO and BP dry out your skin a lot, i've been on BP for years so i didnt have much

Pros:

Natural ingredients and affordability.

Cons:

Hate the smell (but it's worth using).

After trying many, many products to try to avoid cystic acne and oil skin, I went to a local store specializing in organic products (Common Market). I found an antibacterial liquid soap for face and hands that has really worked for me. (The brand name is Tea Tree Therapy.) Other than tea tree oil, the soap also contains aloe vera, chamomile and elderflower - all very good for the skin. The true test came this month because I usually get a horrible hormone related breakout. It didn't happen at all so I think the product is really working for my skin. The bottle has a pump on it (very convenient) and holds 8 fl. oz. A little goes a long way!
