Pros:

Found my solution

Cons:

TTO is harmful to dogs! When i put on my face my dog smells the strong odor & it makes him sneeze...Keep away from dogs!

I also tried everything out there & nothing has worked. Im 29 yrs old, had terrible acne since 13, after reading remedies from this site, i went out and bought the entire TTO line. SPot treatments workign great. Scared to apply to entire face though... along with some vitamins...i will start drinking ACV again as well as i feel my acne is due to toxins in body from poor diet, to much ciggs & beer

Pros:

It's natural and effective. When I'm getting a zit the size is much smaller now ... verses the HUGE ones I typically get.

Cons:

None

I've been using it for a few weeks now, and haven't had to use any other spot treatment. It may not work for everyone, but I think it's well worth a shot for the price.

Pros:

effectively cleans pores. I have very oily skin so this is awesome for me. i noticed that it reduces overall redness of skin and clears blackheads and pimples very effectively.

Cons:

smell, if you can get past the smell...
it is not suitable for dry skin types.

awesome if you have oily skin use this it will help your over-all complexion. And one small bottle can last a long time.

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.

Pros:

Good as an antiseptic

Cons:

No effect on acne or individual spots

I tried the 100% tea tree oil twice daily on my chin and jawline for a couple of months with the hope it would improve my acne. I had no reduction in acne size or occurance and it had no effect on existing spots either

Pros:

kills bacteria effectively, reduce some redness after just one application!

Cons:

the smell is just a bit offensive

got it from the Body Shop, 15% concentration, works awesome. I have dry/sensitive skin, but it's fine if moisturizer is applied around the problem area (not on top of TTO). I notice positive result (not very significant) after just one use. I'll keep posting...

Pros:

Natural antibiotic and healer. Can be used in small amounts on an ongoing basis, without chemical dryness. Refreshing sensation.

Cons:

STINKY! Used in high-concentration, it stings and causes more delicate skin to temporarily redden. Not an instant solution.

I mix this 1:3 with jojoba oil, and massage 12 drops total into my skin after a shower. I have dry skin! Followed by toner/moisturizer and a quick patting-off of any excess, I do find it keeps my pores working healthily.

Pros:

Seems to be working so far.
I refuse to put BP or SA (or any other harsh products) on my skin after living with very dark red scars on my face for years as a result of using those products. TTO seems more promising..

Cons:

Smell. Acutally starting to like it now but initially was very turned off.

I've only been using TTO for a short period of time but it seems to be very effective at reducing the appearance of pimples and possibly even preventing them (haven't had a new one yet and I usually wake up with a new one daily). It does dry out the skin, especially around the area where the lesion is located. Red marks are much lighter than when treating with BP and I am hopeful that they will disappear faster as well. Currently, I dampen a cotton ball with lukewarm water and add 3-4 drops of 100% TTO and go over the problem areas once a day. I wait for it to dry and then apply an oil-free lotion. I have very sensitive and dry skin and it's winter so I'm also trying out dime-sized Cetaphil Moisturizer + 2 drops TTO on an area of my forehead to see if it is effective at keeping my acne at bay as well as moisturizing enough for my skin. I am praying that this stuff will continue to work for me as I am very saddened by the effects of BP and SA on my face. Will keep p

Pros:

Really dried out zits and started to heal them a lot faster. I started noticing results within just a few hours of my first application.

Cons:

Smells BAD. Blech. It can way over-dry your skin if you're not careful. I dilute it with a q-tip and use it only as a spot treatment for fear that my face would completely flake off if I used it all over.

Really great natural product. You have to dilute it, though or you'll be in trouble. It really dries things out and that could be harmful if used all over. Best as a spot treatment. I use 100% tea tree oil and it's worked great to get rid of zits fast. However, it doesn't do much for scars.
