Pros:

It works reasonably well

Cons:

Leaves scars, strong pungent odor

I have had cystic, severe acne most of my life. I've realized that topical treatments don't do much of anything for me but tea tree oil is a decent remedy after a breakout.

Pros:

Good as an antiseptic

Cons:

No effect on acne or individual spots

I tried the 100% tea tree oil twice daily on my chin and jawline for a couple of months with the hope it would improve my acne. I had no reduction in acne size or occurance and it had no effect on existing spots either

Pros:

Dries pimple quickly. Natural product.

Cons:

Drying to the skin. Can seal over a pimple, leaving infection inside. Ineffective on bumps. Strong smell.

After reading about tea tree oil here, I decided to give it a try. Mine is 100% pure oil. I dab in on pimples at night, not all over. The smell is strong but I got used to it. It has seemed to help pimples but not bumps. It's too strong to used twice daily, so I use it only at night. I have only mild acne after quitting birth control, but it's still annoying. I'm also using witch hazel at night. It's worth a try if you don't like using chemicals on your skin. I paid $11 for one ounce, but I only use a few drops a day.

Pros:

cleared the pimple

Cons:

dryness, iritation, redness

Tea Tree oil really improved my skin for about a week and after that week i had one of the worst break out i've ever had. It shrunk the pimple size but not the redness. i could only put it on the big red pimples. if i put it on anywhere else on my skin a pimpe would form there. if you are goign to use tea tree oil use it in moderation especailly if you have sensitive skin. it is rough on skin and overuse makes it worse

Pros:

Left skin feeling softer, decreased the size of huge pimples. It's cheap.

Cons:

Didn't help clear acne, didn't stop new zits from popping up at all.

I guess it works amazing for some people. It wasn't that great for me, but whatever. I would try and find something else.

Pros:

It gets rid of a lot of dirt and oil

Cons:

It doesn't clear acne all by itself

I've been using witch hazel, followed by tea tree oil. I was amazed at how much oil and dirt from my face was on the cotton ball after I used the tea tree oil. Thats how I know that it's good at getting rid of the oil on your face. My acne isn't as bad as it was, but there are still some pimples that have come back. Also, when you use it, make sure you rub your face hard, and you only need a small amount on the cotton ball.

Pros:

Perfect for spot treatment only.

Cons:

causes redness, itching and breakouts in areas where you have no pimples.

great healer goes to work immediately, doesn't prevents spots, if you have clean areas DON'T get tea tree oil anywhere near there.
