Pros:

I works great as SPOT TREATMENT ONLY
What is does for me is totally eliminate the pimple and leave a dry skin patch, that peels off and reveals clear (slightly pink) skin that fades.

Cons:

Added it to my facewash, and it ruined my clear skin. Left me with red spots that still wont go away. Horrible rash..:(
Smells a bit.

I have been using it as a spot treatment and that worked great. So i added a drop or two to my cleanser, which worked great too. Unitl the 3rd day and now I have an awful rash all over my face. Red spots everywhere. So be careful. I thought my skin was used to it, but I guess not. Stick to using it as a spot treatment, or buy a cleanser where it is ONE of the ingredients..... Moral of the story: Be careful. Just because I had an allergic reaction doesn't mean you will too, but seriously, test it for a long time. The emotional damages from this is far worse than a few spots.

Pros:

its natural, not as drying as bp

Cons:

smell, messiness, bit expensive, it only works to a certain extent

it did not clear all of my acne, so my face was never fully clear, i personally think bp is better but bp is more drying than this, but i still think everyone should try it, cuz theres no harm in trying it might work better for you than it did for me

Pros:

-reduces redness.
-helps control acne spreading
- the way it rolls on stops bacteria growing
- good when used with Bp
- prefect size for in your makeup bag.
- good to put on throughout the day if you feel a spot coming on.

Cons:

- you have to put it on often
- I dont feel i could just use the tea tree.

The product i bought was a tea tree oil blemish stick. After having a large breakout my mum suggested it. I tried it to good sucess, it helps soothe the acne while reducing it. I found it usefull however i wouldnt just use it on its on.

Pros:

Clean feeling, and burns. I like the burn as it feels like it is going through my skin and you know, work it's way XD

Cons:

Most being don't like the burning sensation, i like it though

It works, won't work imediatly, but will work, srsly. I bought it from Body Shop with a special offer of cleanser and some mini bottle of tea three oil after applying cleaner. all in all it cost 10 euros

Pros:

Affordable, leaves a clean feeling

Cons:

just does not work and smells horrendous.

I think it doesn;t work at all. Maybe it's just not for me. It's made my face get oilier and break out even more than before I purchased it. I used the Body Shop's tea tree line. yeah, I don't like it.

Pros:

after washing my face with a tea tree oil face wash my face feels very clean and fresh. it also makes my skin less oily

Cons:

did not clear up my acne at all. it actually has gotten(sp?) worse since i've been using this product.

i went to the body shop and bought a t.t.o face wash, night lotion, face mask, and 100% t.t.o. they said i should see clearer skin in one week but i didnt. i liked the fact that it was all natural but overall it didnt really work. also my acne is not bad, i just get a few pimples once in a while and tea tree oil didnt even help that! my skin now has alot more acne

Pros:

natural

Cons:

doesn't really work

I'm all for natural products. This one however left my pimples more red and gave me hyperpigmentation marks. I have oily but sensitive skin and this was simply too strong for me...bp doesn't react good with my skin either obviously every reaction will be different. I would recommend trying this though because it could work for you. ALSO the side effects are not that long-term or serious because it's a natural product :)

I just want to say that for all of you hoping that this is a miracle product, IT'S NOT! Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic......so it helps get rid of the bacteria that causes acne. It won't necessarily solve the problem, but it's worth a try.

Pros:

It helps with new pimples if you catch them right away. I was able to stop a good amount before they fully formed. Doesn't dry my skin out, but my skin is naturally oily to begin with.

Cons:

Nonetheless, it hasn't helped me stop my acne from appearing. I just recently got two large cysts last week that are just now healing.My skin is still very red in those spots. It also smells strong.

I think it good to keep around for the occasional zit that you can catch early. Also, it wouldn't hurt to mix a few drops in your regular toner. I feel it isn't any miracle cure, then again most of know there isn't one otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.
