Tea Tree Oil

-This had confused the heck out of me... I've used tea tree oil for years, but NEVER the straight oil. Tea tree oil I've used were always from another product that had small percentages of it. I tried the pure oil this time, and diluted it with just a bit of water. I've been noticing constant breakouts on areas where I applied this. The areas were also much oiler. I never had suspected that it was tea tree oil because I've used this for so long in other products. Be aware! I've read many people have broken out from using Tea tree oil, and that it DOES clog pores (even stated by manufacturers.

Unless you're a big fan of natural remedies and would love to try something new, I suggest you not buy this product. I had to buy mine at the Body Shop for $9. I also tried the Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask (bought on sale for $6, originally priced at $15). The tea tree mask is similar to the tea tree oil in the same way that it makes my skin feel more oily the next day. AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT. I suppose it doesn't hurt to try the product, I just never got the results that I expected I would. Maybe if I chose to use the product for more than a few weeks?

I tried tea tree oil after a beautician from the body shop recommended it for me. I bought their brand and I bought other brand from eco shop. Neither worked, and the smell was just eye watering. It did work wonderfully on flu and blocked nose when I put a drop in hot water and put a towel over my head, though!

I would try it, i've heard some success stories, but i have oily skin, and it made my skin dry and flaky!?

This product made my skin even worse, I had moderate acne, after a few days use it then became severe and my whole face was red! If you have sensitive skin AVOID this!

My skin was normal and not sensitive at all before I used this product. My breakouts were only one or two small pimples here and there occasionally..otherwise, I had perfect skin. I tried this product as my friend simply raved about it saying how she never has pimples because of it. I used it one time at night before I went to bed. The next day I woke up and my face felt itchy and painful. I rushed to the bathroom mirror and my face was completely red and covered in cystic-like acne and acne vulgaris. It was so terrible and happened so fast (overnight) that my own brother could not recognize me. At first, we thought it was an allergic reaction to the product so my parents brought me the doctor. He simply diagnosed it as a severe case of acne and unable to explain how it suddenly happened. Determined, my parents brought me to several dermatologists hoping to fix my "mess up". My parents ended up spending thousands of dollars with many dermatologists only to finally give up 3 years later. I first used this product when I was 17 years old. I am now 25 and still paying the price. It has only been recently that my face has gotten better. However in place of all the acne are now many enlarged pores, scars, and "craters". What's worse is that my face is now very sensitive to many products so I am not even able to wear any kind of make-up without breaking out. I would not wish the emotional trauma this has caused me to even my worst enemy. I would give anything to have my perfect skin back with the occasional small pimples here and there. On a final note, please please, if you really insist on trying any products, find a GOOD dermatologist and consult with him/her first. It would also be best to test a patch of skin first for any harmful reactions. Everyone's skin may react differently to any product and it is better to be safe than sorry especially when it concerns your face.

I used Tea Tree Oil for a few weeks and, at first it was my wonder product, then it was not. The oil burnt my face, leaving it red and inflamed. My acne, which was under control and nearly gone, practically exploded. I got cysts, pimples, redness...everything. It was awful and it was really difficult to manage. I went to a dermatologist a month or so later. My acne had been mild, it was now moderatly severe. Now, this breakout had practically made me a hermit. It was the last straw and I got fairly depressed, dysmorphic and anti-social. It affected me and my family. My dermatologist said to NEVER USE TEA TREE OIL because it will mess your skin up; now and/or in the long run. My verdict is: The risk is not worth it. I'm still getting over the nodules that the tea tree caused. Now, go to your doctor and listen to what they say. Go to a dermatologist and listen to what they have to say. At the end of the day though, its up to you, your skin and how you react. Cheers.

I tried tea tree oil, but it was ineffective. I used it every day for about two weeks, but there was no difference in my acne. In fact, the first day I used the oil, I didn't dilute and it worsened my acne. After that, I diluted it but it still didn't do anything. Moreover, the smell is incredibly strong. Thankfully my roommate kind of liked the smell, but if you're living with someone, the smell is very powerful. All in all, an ineffective and expensive product. Did absolutely nothing to my acne.

I bought every single tea tree oil line by Body Shop. At first, i had a tinggling and painful burning sensation on my skin. I thought it was working but i realised i had more acne on my face. i usually break out before my period. But i ended having more pimples than ever.
