Pros:

Natural, effective when used as a spot treatment and could be added to your cleanser for an additional treatment. It's clear and can be used under makeup.

Cons:

Strong Smell and could be over drying "if" applied too often.

I have used tea tree oil for about one year as a spot treatment and when my acne flares I add 1 to 3 drops into my cleanser as an added acne treatment. To date this has been one of the best treatments I have used. (I've been on everything including accutane, and minocycline) I purchased a 50:50 mixture of lavender oil and tea tree oil from the Vitamin Shoppe and to my surprise it worked better than tea tree oil on its own. Lavender is calming and reduces redness, tea tree oil is known for its antiseptic properties.

Pros:

Dries fast and makes your skin feel fresh

Cons:

The smell is pretty strong, but it is barable

I just started using Tea Tree Oil today so I don't see any changes yet. I actually see a few new ones? So if it gets any worse I will stop using it. I have so much trouble with my skin I just pray to god that it will work. It depends on your skin though.

Pros:

Will dry up a pimple quickly!

Cons:

Do not apply too much, can burn skin and make a scar

Bottom Line is that Tea Tree Oil does work to help dry up pimples by reducing bacteria. It does take a few times of applying neatly to get it to dry up, but works better than any OTC topical creams or gels out there. Mix with your cleanser for the elimation of bacteria while cleansing. Use a Q-Tip and apply directly on the pimple.

Pros:

opens up pores, kills bacteria, makes skin smoother, shrink pore size, this product helps to eliminate pimples. Even though it is some form of oil, it does not clog your pores.

Cons:

smells strong and very unpleasant, makes skin a little dry. i follow the tea tree oil with 100% aloe vera gel.

This product is amazing. I have been using it for a little over a week and have already gotten satisfactory results. I think that it is worth a try, only then you will discover how good tea tree oil is for your acne and your overall skin.

Pros:

Its great for a wide many uses, especially immediate spot treatment of acne as well as a daily toner.

Cons:

Can be very irritating and over-drying when applied alone, and not everyone can tolerate the odor.

I've been using TTO for a few months now and am very impressed. I have never had bad acne but often to get a pimple or to per week, with the occasional breakout. For spot treatment I apply a dab to a qtip and apply directly to the zit or zit area, undiluted. On a daily basis I dampen a cotton ball and then add a few drops of TTO and then apply to my face next and chest. It has done more then anything before. Further... it has helped many other ailments I have (which I won't list here) but I highly recomment the product... its one of the few substances that is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. Proven more effective in the long run than neosporin, so I am guessing it is good for preventing scars too. Oh, and that pricy looking little bottle actually lasts a very long time.
