Tea Tree Oil

When I read how people rave on TTo, I thought that I should give it a try. I bought a bottle and diluted it with some essential oils. Unfortunately, TTO doesnt agree with my skin. I developed tiny spots all around my pimples and places where I never got pimple before. My face was almost clear until I tried this. It has been a regret since using tto. To people out there, dont believe everything what the netizens hyped about.

I used to have okay skin, but after I started using this, I developed painful cysts on my cheeks and jawline.

I tried this for a week instead of BP. I diluted it with grape seed oil, which doesn't clog pores. For the week I used it, my skin looked nice, no redness or anything, and only a couple zits as usual. But after a week started developing little bumps all over my entire face. It looks like every single pore got clogged and inflamed. I switched back to the normal regimen, but the bumps still have not gone away. I look like a monster. I even had to call in sick for work because I am so embarrassed. I HIGHLY recommend you test this product on a small patch of your face for at least a week before using.

I made the mistake of using this as a spot treatment & later all over my face (diluted in another oil) a few months ago. Broke me out in painful cysts on the chin, jaw, cheek & even at the side of my brows (near my forehead) & I never break out there. I hated this thing.

I have slathered it, used it as a spot treatment, mixed it with my lotions but nothing ! Maybe its my skin but this just didnt do anything for me . I have harmonal acne and have sensitive/combination skin.

If you have moderate to severe acne, or in my case, cystic acne, don't waste your money. The first few days I tried it, it maybe dried my acne up a little, but only the surface. It does not get deep down like I need it to. I will continue to use it as temporary relief because it slightly reduces redness.

I used Tea Tree Oil for a few weeks and, at first it was my wonder product, then it was not. The oil burnt my face, leaving it red and inflamed. My acne, which was under control and nearly gone, practically exploded. I got cysts, pimples, redness...everything. It was awful and it was really difficult to manage. I went to a dermatologist a month or so later. My acne had been mild, it was now moderatly severe. Now, this breakout had practically made me a hermit. It was the last straw and I got fairly depressed, dysmorphic and anti-social. It affected me and my family. My dermatologist said to NEVER USE TEA TREE OIL because it will mess your skin up; now and/or in the long run. My verdict is: The risk is not worth it. I'm still getting over the nodules that the tea tree caused. Now, go to your doctor and listen to what they say. Go to a dermatologist and listen to what they have to say. At the end of the day though, its up to you, your skin and how you react. Cheers.

-This had confused the heck out of me... I've used tea tree oil for years, but NEVER the straight oil. Tea tree oil I've used were always from another product that had small percentages of it. I tried the pure oil this time, and diluted it with just a bit of water. I've been noticing constant breakouts on areas where I applied this. The areas were also much oiler. I never had suspected that it was tea tree oil because I've used this for so long in other products. Be aware! I've read many people have broken out from using Tea tree oil, and that it DOES clog pores (even stated by manufacturers.

I tried TTO oil for about 3 weeks and by the end of the 3rd week my face was by far worst than I started. My doctor said stop and use a Dove unscented soap bar and only wash twice a day....my face is actually clearing up. I would not recommend TTO for acne.

Sadly gave a try with 100% tea tree oil many times as I heard countless of reviews on how good it actually is. I use it to spot treat my cystic acne/blemishes but it always seem to make it worst. I have even tried to apply it directly on them and also diluted it, half TTO and half water but it just didn't seem to work for me. I always try to use it for at least 3 weeks to see how it goes because there might be a "purging" period. But even so, just doesn't work for me. Somehow when I use it, acne starts popping out in areas near the places I spot treat. I stopped it to see if that was the cause and found out my face seemed calmer after.
