Didn't really work
Before I used BP I tried tea tree oil for a while. It didn't really help my. I didn't saw much change.

Pros:

Works...for a while
The scent
Very easy to find
Not drying

Cons:

Can sting if skin is dry/broken
Can leave skin oily

It works for me...but it doesn't. It helps clear up existing pimples, but it's so oily that it has caused more.

Pros:

It works reasonably well

Cons:

Leaves scars, strong pungent odor

I have had cystic, severe acne most of my life. I've realized that topical treatments don't do much of anything for me but tea tree oil is a decent remedy after a breakout.

All Natural

Pros:

Natural product
Non comedogenic
Effective

Cons:

Smell

I used this as a spot treatment. It dries out acne very well. I just dab it on with a cotton swab and it does the job. It's not to drying or harsh either.

Pros:

helps acne, after long-term consistent use

Cons:

smells, takes a while to work (think 4-6 weeks), requires huge quantities

This only appreciably helped my acne when I used it neat (undiluted) for several weeks. I can't wear it out because of the smell so I'd wear it to bed, but I hate the smell. It didn't perform wonders on my acne, just improved it somewhat. I ultimately left this off to try other things but still use it as a spot treatment or as part of a mask.

Pros:

With time will see difference
Natural ingredients

Cons:

With time really dried skin
Expensive

Been using this product for well over 3 months now and by itself i would say it was as successful as id hope, before this i used BP which sadly stopped working for me causing a massive break out :/. Although its common to use one or the other i would recommon using both, applying the tea tree and while still moist apply the BP on top of this. And it worked! HOWEVER!! My acne has not gone completly and doing this really really dries the skin causing it to feel extremly tight AND in the long run causing lines! :O So what you have got to consider is it worth it in the long run. With all the products i've used im sure they havnt done any favours for my skin :/ and im only 18!

Pros:

Affordable, leaves a clean feeling

Cons:

just does not work and smells horrendous.

I think it doesn;t work at all. Maybe it's just not for me. It's made my face get oilier and break out even more than before I purchased it. I used the Body Shop's tea tree line. yeah, I don't like it.

Pros:

helps get rid of pimples a little, pleasent cooling effect

Cons:

didn't work very well for me.

I have to say I rather like the smell, and after you put it on theres a great cooling effect on your skin which feels wonderful. It worked great for eveyone else so give it a shot or try lavender oil which worked for me.

Pros:

lifts dirt
clears skin
evens skin tone and brightens

Cons:

oily
foul smell, very potent

My skin is as such that is greasy and almost sops up the dirt from the air and otherwise. Tea tree oil aids my fight against acne. In combination with bp and moisturizer and a very light cleanser, I find that I only get break outs when I'm stressed or there's a shift in hormones. It has helped clear away the little bumps, not the more prominent blemishes
