| For the people who don't think this works I don't think you understand that your skin needs a period of two to four weeks before any treatment will work, you have breakouts that start two weeks before they rise to the surface and you see them, spot treatments also don't work because you are treating the unseen new pimples, if you choose to spot treat then logically just spread what ever treatment you are using to the parts of your face you commonly breakout in. As for the Tea Tree Oil...For my skin and my husbands it has worked better then benzoyl peroxide , and Salicylic acid...For Salicylic acid to be effective it has to have the correct ph balance to exfoliate skin cells and sadly almost all on the market have to high of a ph. I am overly sensitive to benzoyl peroxide so all the irritation that it causes just creates more pimples. Tea Tree oil does work...You must use a concentration of above 5% or you will be aggravating the bacteria, which will only produce more pimples...If you doubt any of the countless hours of research I have done on the topic of acne treatment...do your own research, you have the internet go to some site like cosmetic cop or even read reviews of products on Amazon. Don't give up a treatment until four weeks; you will never see good results until then. Also if you over exfoliate your skin with wash cloths or manual exfoliate like scrubs be warned that can also be causing you more problems. Go to Sephora buy their facial sponges and use those instead of a washcloth, but be sure to boil it or disinfectant regularly or you will once again be creating bacteria instead of killing it. |
Great stuff!

I overdid with salicylic acid, and my chin was super dry. I grab small bottle of this oil at Trader Joe`s, used 3 times today, and my skin came back to normal! Blemishes are less visible by far, and my skin is not dry. It`s amazing how fast that works! I was afraid of the smell, but it`s not bad (herbs and menthol). It`s also great with cuts and wounds. I was never interested in essential oils, but I googled the stuff and I`m gonna try the other ones too (like lavender for sleep and relaxation).Do not hesitate!
Added later: please dilute this, because I use it in full strength few times a day and I burnt my skin, it was really red and patchy for few days. It all went away, but this is strong oil, and I highly recommend to dilute with water. |

I had another brand of Tea Tree oil that did not work as well as this one. So I know the quality of this Tea Tree Oil is GREAT! I initially bought it to use on a cold sore and let me tell you it demolished it in a couple of days!! The cold sore had already grown and it was big and yucky. I wet a q-tip pour some drops of this on it and dabbed it on the cold sore 3 times a day, let dry for about 30 minutes and the cold sore and scab was practically gone!
Please note: I did apply Neosporin on top of the Tea Tree after it dried because it dry the cold sore up so much that it can crack and make you bleed and make it worst!! Make sure to wash the cold sore three times a day, ice it with an ice cube for about 3 minutes, then apply the tea tree oil, let it dry for about 30 mins then apply the Neopsporin on top. The Neosporin and Tea Tree as a team does a hell of a job in getting rid of a cold sore!! It is also great on acne! get it!!! |
Works very well....

| So far, this product has been working pretty well for me. If you want to use it to treat acne, you need to use it every day. This is a slight problem for me, but still, it's working better than anything I've tried in a long time. |
Nice Product

I am a tea tree oil fanatic, can't get enough of it. I have read many articles that say not to buy essential oils in clear bottles, but this oil is very nice in my opinion. It is already gone =)
Thanks! |

| I use it where I tend to develop skin rashes, in areas that get and stay moist when I get too warm. I find it very effective in keeping my skin rash free. Actually, I prefer smaller bottles, but Amazon only sold the 2-ounce size. |
a cure for what ails you

this is the most amazing product i have ever come across. i suffer from severe allergies, and this has made a difference in just 24 hours--not a small difference, either--a huge noticeable improvement. i cannot recommend this product highly enough. i am now using it to treat my gums which are receding from forty-five years of prescription allergy and asthma medications, and i have to say it again--a huge noticeable improvement. this is a highly concentrated product, and a very little will go a very long way. this is truly a cure for whatever ails you. |

| I originally bought this as a spot on treatment for my occasional breakout on my face. I used it a couple times, and have found out that it is a little to harsh to use on your face (it even says on the bottle). But then I was reading some forums online and people said it works well for bug bites. I used it for a couple bug bites on my arm, and it did a good job stopping the itch. |
wonderful fragrance

This essential oil has a complex aroma including a pleasant musty low note, floral elements and a woodsy spice like clove or cinnamon. There is also a mentholish note that is bright. This clear light oil is potent and heady out of the bottle and the smell changes and develops.

| I bought this to use with my oil cleansing routine ([...]). I think I will go back to castor oil and olive oil, and use this tea tree oil for the occasionaly breakout. I am also planning on using it when I get a cold sore again. Also, I am going to make my husband use it on his athlete's foot problem. It just smells so strong that I don't like using it all over my face. Also, keep away from your eyes! It comes in a glass bottle with a heavy plastic lid. Overall, I think it is a good product to have in your home. |
Pretty good

| I bought this as an acne treatment after my skin had a bad reaction to benzoyl peroxide. This is definitely easier on my skin than the benzoyl peroxide, but it is also slightly less effective. I'm told it takes a few months to see the results of tea tree oil. I've been diluting it with water 1/9 (because it's too strong to put directly on the skin). I'm going to try moving up to 1/6 to see if that works any better/more quickly. |
$4.00 less at Walmart!!!

| I bought this for $12.00 dollars, and later found it at Walmart for $8.00. I feel like I was ripped off. |
