Pros:

reduces pustules within a few days

Cons:

burns, dries out skin

Tea tree oil has helped me reduce the number of pimples, but it's not completely getting rid of it. Plus, I've gotten a boil when I was using tea tree oil. Maybe I need to use it a little longer. Although, I'm not sure if it was worth the $7 for a 1-ounce vial.

Pros:

Dries out acne

Cons:

Causes migraines. Releases estrogen. Causes breast growth in boys.

[link removed]

I really liked this stuff until I started getting massive & unmanageable migraines 3 weeks into using it. (I rarely, if EVER, get headaches). Then my breasts started to become very sore, so I thought I should look up the side affects. Lo & behold, studies have shown that Tea Tree Oil releases estrogen into the body. This would explain the hormonal headaches & breast tenderness. I stopped using it yesterday. Hopefully my hormones will adjust themselves quickly! Scary. Do not use.

Pros:

dries up zits, and easy to use.

Cons:

dry skin! I don't like the smell very much, it is quite pungent.

I used it for a while and it controlled some of my acne but I was NEVER completely clear.

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.

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:

It has a lovely smell and unlike other products has not caused any irritation to my skin!

Cons:

It unfortunately doesn't seem to be improving my acne, more or less just keeping it stable and under control. I bought the 100% tea tree oil from the body shop and facial toner, matifying moisturiser, facial exfoliater, foaming face wash, face mask

It is good for keeping my acne under control BUT no signifcant improvement has been made. I haven't broken out since using this product BUT it hasn't cleared up any of the remaining spots. I will continue to use because all the other products I had tried were clearing up the acne I had but then I was breaking out in other areas. I am going to recommend it but I do not guarantee that it will help you. Also it was wuite expensive to buy all the tea tree oil products and it came to well over 30-40 pounds.
