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:

Left skin feeling softer, decreased the size of huge pimples. It's cheap.

Cons:

Didn't help clear acne, didn't stop new zits from popping up at all.

I guess it works amazing for some people. It wasn't that great for me, but whatever. I would try and find something else.

Pros:

Perfect for spot treatment only.

Cons:

causes redness, itching and breakouts in areas where you have no pimples.

great healer goes to work immediately, doesn't prevents spots, if you have clean areas DON'T get tea tree oil anywhere near there.

My Experience
My first time trying tea tree oil was ok. I put drops onto cotton wool and applied all over my face. As my acne is pretty much everywhere. My face didn't burn or sting. however the oil has a very strong smell.

I like it, but...
I can't honestly say that it ever improved my acne. I guess it depends on what's causing your acne. I'm one of those people who loves the smell of tea tree oil for some reason, and I believe its benefits to the skin when I read them on paper -- it makes sense. I mix a few drops of this into the hemp oil that I use on my skin as an overnight moisturizer because I think it helps to counter the oiliness of the... oil. Tea Tree Oil is one of those things that I've used on and off for about 10 years, but only as a supplement to something else. It's a decent supplement, but on its own it's not capable of a whole lot. In my experience. It never harmed my skin at all so I can't say it's not worth trying.

Pros:

Can help dry out zits and leave your skin feeling cool and soft

Cons:

Made my face break out in a swollen pimple like rash, and very red and irritated

Basically, If you have sensitive skin like I do, be careful using tea tree oil, it's VERY drying, and made my face 100x worse. I would recommend it to people who don't have a problem with drying.

Pros:

Natural
Can work very well

Cons:

Doesnt work for everyone

i put a few drops of TOT in my moisturiser and spread it all over my face. it was going well until about 2 weeks later. i had MASSIVE lumps over my forehead which i had never had before and severe acne all over my face. i think it might of clogged my pores up or something. My sis just dabs a bit of tea trea oil on a cotton bud on puts it on individual spots, she has had no problems. i guess we react differently, so i would be careful when purchasing this product.

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 :)

Pros:

This really works well for dandruff, cuts, bites, etc. Dilute w/ a carrier oil like jojoba before applying on the skin. I love to put this in my mouth wash as well.

Cons:

This did not seem to work for my acne but it still has many other uses and thus I will still be repurchasing this again and again.
