Pros:

Dries acne, makes it seem to heal faster. Is natural.

Cons:

Causes hard lumps under the skin that turn into cystic acne and leave bad scars.

I was putting dabs of pure tea tree oil on acne to dry it up. After a while I realised it was causing hard lumps to form where I had been applying it. They lasted ages and turned into cystic acne that scarred. Now I have stopped using it I no longer get this. So if you intend to use this stuff keep a close eye out for this in case it happens to you. These scars will take many years to heal, if they ever do :( Disaster

Pros:

None

Cons:

It dries up our skin and it didn't help me at all; made the problem worse!

It obviously works on some people, but I guess it just depends on your skin type. For me, it didn't work. Oh well.

Pros:

Supposedly keeps lice away, if put in the hair.

Cons:

Since I started using a facial soap containing Tea Tree Oil, my cheeks are constantly red. I look embarrassingly bad. Figured out it was caused by the Tea Tree Oil.

Proceed with caution, unless you want to look like a radish! Seriously.
