Pros:

works ok

Cons:

i must have really sensitive skin or something, because when i use TTO on my face, it burns my skin bad and im left with a big red burn mark for weeks. and i only use the 15% stuff

not worth it

Pros:

It works really fast!

Cons:

doesn't get rid of post acne pigmentation/

It works just as well and chemicals without the harshness of them.

Pros:

Works really well on body acne
Starts working quickly

Cons:

Can irritate skin
has a strong smell

I use TTO on my chest, shoulders, and back and it works great. It stings a little on open pimples and the smell is REALLY strong if you don't dilute it but it works really quick. Be careful if you use it on your face though, I used it on my face once and had to wash it all back off because it immediattely started to burn really bad and it made my face all red.

Pros:

Doesn't dry out my skin. Has kept most of my breakouts under control.

Cons:

It takes a while to dry, but that's about it. I don't mind the smell.

I would strongly recommend this product. I use a higher concentration of it because I feel it works best on my normal to oily skin.

Pros:

Kills bacteria that cause acne

Cons:

Dry Factor

I just used tea tree oil tonight. I mix it in with my cetaphil cleanser so that way I don't have the stinging feeling...for the dryness I am gonna use jojoba oil and then use lac-hydrid 5 at night...I will tell you all how this goes..wish me luck! AND I LOVE TEA TREE OIL!!!!

Pros:

Works!

Cons:

Burning sensation.
Other than that, nothing.

It really fades scars from previous acne but it burns really bad. I even diluted it and it still burns my face bad.

Pros:

Its helps
drys out spots
use all over face, body, hair

Cons:

Its not a cure

Buy it online $3, so much cheaper than a drug store. I put it on all over my face at night, all the time. I believe it helps when mixed into your moisturiser or something. But dab extra on aswell by itself. Don't get near eyes. Its very drying and an antibacterial agent, natural healing.

Pros:

Good for acne.

Cons:

Smell, but you get used to it.

I like tea tree oil, is good for my skin, my skin looks smoother and also dries up my pimples. I wish I had found out long time ago.
