Pros:

Works very well if used correctly.

Cons:

Does NOT work well if undiluted.

I bought TTO a while ago and was using it all over my face as I heard it is par with BP in terms of clearing up acne. Silly me however, just slapped a bunch all over my face undiluted. This aggravated my skin and I broke out even more. I'm trying it out again diluted, as my pimples did get smaller practically overnight. DILUTE THE OIL! You can use a Qtip with water as mentioned or mix it with sweet almond oil or whatever else you have.

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:

feels good when applied. tightens pores

Cons:

smells too strong.

I don't think it does the job for me. I felt that it tightened the pores, but no impact on my pimples. Initially, I tried it with a Q-tip at 100% topically, but it didn't make much difference. Next, I diluted it with toner and applied it in the problem areas with cotton balls. it won't hurt. it is good in the areas where pores are visible.
