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.

Pros:

Conrols breakouts, dries blemishes quickly, quickens healing of already popped or inflamed blemishes, reduces amount of blackheads over time

Cons:

none

I use a couple drops mixed in with an aloe and glycerin based gel I got in a waxing kit. So far, the combination has worked wonders on my stubborn breakouts and has even helped to accelerate healing on my face, causing all those pits and boxcars-to-be mesh back into my healthy skin. Though not a fan of Neutrogena, I use the Oil- Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing Cream Cleanser, I combine this with BeFine's Firming Toner as it contains a natural source of salicylic acid. The gel and tea tree oil I use as a daytime moisturizer, and during the night I use a vitamin c cream with the tea tree. I have 2 spots, but you can thank hormones for that ;)

Pros:

inexpensive, clears zits up QUICK, reduces redness

Cons:

smells funky, kinda burns/tingles

I swear by tea tree oil. I used to be on EVERY type of acne medication OTC and prescription, proactive, etc. This oil is the one product I love. Just use a Q-tip to put the oil on. I like to put it on in the morning before putting my make-up on...and the redness and size of any pimple goes down almost immediately. Clears up pimples in a couple of days. I also use Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Fash Wash with Tea Tree Oil & Awapuhi twice daily...and once a week I'll wash with the Proactive face scrub. Hope this helps!

Pros:

None yet

Cons:

I've been using tea tree oil (not from the body shop) for a few days and my acne seems slightly worse

Did anyone else breakout more after using this for a few days? Did it get better?

Pros:

dries out acne... QUICK

Cons:

the smell isn't pleasant at first, but believe it or not, i've learned to like it!

IT IS WORTH TRYING!! Some people find it expensive (about 5-10 dollars for a few ozs) but it lasts a pretty long time, therefore I don't find it expensive at all.
