Pros:

Only a small amount is needed
Feels fresh, feels good that yours using something organic and pure

Cons:

Only worked for small blemished and spots
shouldn't be used for outright acne
Can sting, but it sometimes doesn't
Small bottle is expensive
Gets used quickly

It's good for small spots and blemishes if thats all you get, but apart from that it isn't really effective for general acne, the odd spot yeah, it may work for you, it worked for me when I used to get a spot or 2, but when I actually got 'acne' it just didnt work. At one point I was clear and had an event to go to the next day, I broke out a day before with large spots, around my T zone, mainly cheeks, tea tree oil didn't do anything and I applied a generous amount of it for 2 days.

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:

Might be good as a preventative face wash when heavily diluted. Seems to work for others.

Cons:

In a matter of days it transformed my cysts and papules into whiteheads, and then back into regular looking acne, where they remained for the usual length of time.

I was using it as a spot treatment for my mild/moderate cystic acne - not expecting miracle results, but at least to have some effect, maybe speed up the healing or ease inflammation. Applied undiluted with a cotton swab twice a day for 6 days, didn't change anything.

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.
