Tea Tree Oil

I have been using TTO for two days and it seems to be brining blackheads to the surface of my skin. I don't know if the acne will clear up, but based on the blackhead-extracting effect I may continue to use TTO in combination with other products to eliminate my acne.

I use the Dessert Essence blemish stick, which has tea tree oil and a couple other added natural oils to help get rid of blemishes. It works well when I get a zit and want it to swell down, but be careful not to over use it, for it can really cry the zit and make the skin flaky. Though this does not prevent new acne nor makes it disappear over night, it does help the healing process go faster. Best wishes for anyone who gives this product a try, it may be worth it.

It works great. You only need 2-3 drops diluted on a cotton pad to act as an astringent for your whole face. Or spot treat using 1-2 undiluted drops on a Q-tip. I like that it doesn't leave a lot of redness like Benzoyl Peroxide does, and you definitely see results overnight. Only thing is I find that it doesn't really help PREVENT pimples, but it definitely speeds up the healing/clearing time of active blemishes, even big, hard cysts.

AMAZING PRODUCT i love it so so so much. I put it on and in about...5 days all my acne and pimples were cleared. It made my face less oily and shinny. It will completely dry out your skin, it did on my sister to. So just make sure you atleast keep some moisture to your face like cream or something

amazing. feels tingly on your face. i have had acne for yours im 18 and this stuff work about an hour after i put it on. Its also great for whitening teeth and i put a few drops in the bath. its natural and i use it in the regimin but i replace mosteriser with the oil because it is great for balancing skin. 5 days later i have not one spot. it make me wonder why i spent so much time and money on mainstream crap

METHOD: 2:1 tea tree oil to water ratio. 14-7 drops work well. Use cotton swabs and Spot treat the pimples with this mixture and then add a bit more water to make it 1:1 ratio and rub it all over the entire face with cotton balls. EXPERIENCE: I have mild acne, but get NASTY breakouts sometimes. I used Stievamycin before and had a REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH IT. 2 days before school started, i had a breakout and it ruined my skin, because i put on too much. i switched to tea tree oil, and am happy because I haven't gotten a breakout in 2-3 weeks of use. Scars are still there though, but I can feel no pimples coming. There s the ocassional bump but i put this on and it reduces the life cycle

I have moderate acne and have been using 100% Australian Tea Tree oil for about two weeks. I dilute a Q-Tip with water, dip it in the TTO, and spot treat. So far, it's done nothing to help my acne. In fact, I've had two new pimples since using the TTO. All it appears to do is dry out my skin and aggravate my eczema. (I'm one of those people with the worst kind of combination skin. Very oily around the forehead, cheeks, and chin; very dry around the sides of my nose and around the eyebrow area.) I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with combination or sensitive skin.

I used proactive for a year which was terrible and didnt help at all and then went to a dermatologist who put me on an antibiotic,Dynacin(minocycline) along with tazorac. It didnt seem to work either and I am now on accutane and have been using it for about a month. Have noticed less breakouts and the drying of my skin. Washing my face helps along with a good moisturizer, I am using the leftover moisturizer from my proactive package. I also heard about tea tree oil and bought some today and have applied it a total of 3 times today and have already noticed a difference. I hope it works because I am really looking forward to some help with this acne problem.

there is no FULL proff cure all product for acne, but if there was, tea tree oil would be one of the MAIN ingredients. go into the message boards, read about it, find a way to use it that would suit you. u wont be sorry :)

After washing my face with a mild moisturizing bar, I apply my special toner: I dilute 2 drops of tea tree oil in 1/2 cup of cold water. I soak a cotton ball with the mixture before the oil can settle on the top. I apply the mixture by dabbing onto my skin and then I wait for it to dry. Then I use Aveeno Clear Complexion daily moisturizer or the Aveeno Positively Radiant (SPF 30) if I am going outside. It should last a long time, if only using a drop or two in the morning - so the price is not bad. Leaves face feeling fresh throughout the day. Not oily at all.
