Pros:

None

Cons:

I am severely allergic to tea tree oil and it made me develop deep cystic type acne.

Be cautious if you are using products with tea tree oil in them and you notice your acne getting worse. It happened very slowly with me and therefore I did not realize at first that it was the cause. I am also allergic to eucyleptus...they are in the same family.

Pros:

None that I can see.

Cons:

Dries out and aggravates skin, especially sensitive skin

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.

Pros:

Readily available.

Cons:

Causes breakouts.

While tea tree oil may be helpful for some, one should use caution before implementing this remedy into a daily regiment.
