Tea Tree Oil

I mixed a few drops with a dime sized portion of Ponds moisturizing cream. I left it on for an hour while i did some homework at night. But i felt like it might be too much for my skin and i didn't want to sleep all oily, so i washed it off. The next morning, my pimples were under control. My skin tone looked more even. The thing i liked the most was that my old acne scars had considerably faded. I think if i used this consistantly it would have worked. But its too messy and oily for my likes.

its good, but dries skin

i am 20 years old and i've had acne since i was 10. i have tried everything from proactive to toothpaste, oral and topical prescription medications, egg white masks and head and shoulder shampoo. i've tried all the home remedies and tried all the recommendations made by serveral dermatologists. i am allergic to benzoyl peroxide, so i have a hard time finding skin treatments gentle enough for my face. i wanted to try something natural, so i came across tea tree oil and decided to give it a try. (i'd tried it years ago, the body shop brand, and it didn't work) so i found some in a health food store and decided to give it a second chance.....the first night i put it on, it burned and turned my face red. and then about 10 minutes later, the redness calmed down and almost immedietly my acne looked better. i've been putting it on my face after my nightly shower when my pores are the most open, and i think my skin is improving. that's more than i can say about anything else i've tried!

I recently embarked on a natural face routine after I was struck down by the acne at 18. I am now 19 and the buggers are still present. At its worst, my face was red all over with large cystic acen and a few thousand white/blackheads. Now I jog every morning, eat more healthily, consume less fizzy drinks and stick to a strict routine concerning my face. After jog, immediately shower. Wash face with 100% tea tree oil soap. Rinse off. With cotton ball put some water on it with 3-6 drops of 100% pure tea tree oil and pat over affected areas. Pat dry, Spray with Avene Water Spray. Then dry my face via a fan (no pat dry). If a little dry, dab some jojoba oil on the flaky areas. Then bam! Clean feeling skin! Thank you very much !

i was suffering from moderate to mild acne since my teens and had tried various things from prescription to home remedies and this was one of the best deals.i just use the body shop tea tree oil at night on my cheeks and acne prone areas and it seemed to work.however it is useless on cystic acnes that comes once in 2 months. moreover i also used the tea tree oil masks, scrub but it was not as effective as the oil

The tea tree oil when put directly on the zit after you've washed face will reduce the size of the pimple overnight. It takes longer for it to reduce the redness although I did notice some of my pimples were less red the next morning.

(This is for the 100%) Tea tree oil I've found is a bit tricky. You have to apply it when the pimple is at it's absolute worst. If you apply it too early or while it's going down, it gets irritated. I'm not saying this applies to everyone, because everyone reaccts to things differently. I'm just putting that out there ;-) Other than that, tea tree oil can be used for many things as my mother found and now she uses it more than I do for fading skin spots.

I use tea tree oil as a spot treatment. It helps with painful pimples to reduce redness and swelling. I have oily skin and the tea tree oil dried up the breakouts that i used it on. I have also used this face wash from the body shop that has tea tree oil and it helps to control breakouts really well.

this stuff is amaziinngg. i have been using it for about 6 months. i use it every night all over my face before i go to sleep and in the morning most of my spots have shrunken and the redness is reduced.;) i suggest you use a moisterizer before you put it on as it can dry up your skin.
