Saved my skin. I'm pregnant and started getting horrible cystic acne all over. With ONE USE, the flare ups started going away. All went away in 2 days. It's been keeping all my acne (including...

Nope, doesn't do a dang thing for acne (oh well). However, I had these weird pinkish unexplained blotches on my chest. Not painful or itchy or irritated or even that gross, just weird and a little...

Ewwww!!!! This au naturel antiseptic oil smells like furniture polish. The smell is very natural, but also very strong and a bit cloying, thus the four lippies. I haven't really been using this...

A couple of studies have shown that Tea Tree Oil (TTO) is as effective as benzoil peroxide (a common ingredient in over-the-counter acne treatments) without the drying effects of that treatment. ...

I didn't like the packaging, the price was a little high and even though I read all the good reviews, I couldn't stand the smell to put it anywhere near my face. My bf had a rash around his neck so...

I bought this for a little over $20 with tax. Note that this is the kind that is not "kinder to skin," so it's really important to use as directed (place on moistened cotton ball or the like...

Love this stuff! I add a drop of this to my ProActiv glycolic toner, and it really helps keep my pores clear and heal irritations. Very inexpensive, also. It is a bit smelly, but only for the first...

I not only use this bottle of pure tea tree oil for helping with skin blemishes, bites and applying to feet to treat athletes' feet, but I also like to use it to dilute and garden since insects do...

This is one of the first things that's actually had some effect in diminishing the oily shine on my face. (Ironic, since the product IS an oil!) I've been using it as a toner for the last few...

This review is for tea tree oil in general. I've tried many high quality brands carried in health stores such as Tea Tree Therapy and Thursday Plantation (but not Desert Essence) and found very...

Maybe I was using it incorrectly, I always applied it full strength, but it was way too strong for my skin. The smell was overwhelming. I've also tried their tea tree cleansing wipes, but they...

Tea tree oil is gentler than benzoyl peroxide and doesn't have that annoying habit of bleaching hair and clothing. This product is also organic. A very fine alternative to nonvegan topical...

This stuff is my new HG zit treatment. Its cheap at $6.95 for a decent sized bottle at my local health food stores, and I've barely made a dent in it after 2 months. I've never been successful...

It is definitely strong smelling but quite effective at keeping minor blemishes at bay (better in my opinion than the Body Shop's tea tree oil blemish stick). (Tea tree oil is a natural...

Wow, this stuff is strong. It doesn't do anything immediately but it is a great disinfectant instead of regular alcohol. I use it for a spot treatment on my face (diluted in water of course) and on...

I'm not really sure if this has done anything for my breakouts. I think it helps but it's not a miracle worker. But for my nostril piercing, it was a godsend. It got infected and this was the...
