How Does Tea Tree Oil Get Rid Of Pimples?

Question

I was reading the label from my bottle of tea tree oil & it said you can use it 4 pimples...how?

Answer 1

Use it just like you would any other acne spot treatment... Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic so it really cleans out your pores. I highly recommend it!

Answer 2

yeah they work you should use the pads

Answer 3

bad idea. in fact, anything that as "oil" in the label, should not be used on pimples.

Answer 4

Tea tree oil contains a constituent called terpinen-4-ol that is thought to be responsible for most of tea tree oil's antimicrobial activity. Because tea tree oil can kill bacteria, applying topical tea tree oil to acne has been thought to kill the skin-dwelling bacteria that is involved in causing acne.

Comparing tea tree oil gel to benzoyl peroxide, tea tree oil has fewer side effects than the benzoyl peroxide, which is associated with itching, burning, stinging, and dryness, and it's more effective.

If you're going to apply pure tea tree oil to your pimples, make sure you use a q-tip to apply ONLY on the pimple, if you apply it all over your face, it can cause irritation.

Answer 5

it basically just dries it up.

Personally, I didn't like it because it dried up by skin too much, and I had oily skin to begin with.  I wouldn't recommend it because it can irritate .  But if you want, you can try it because everyone has different skin types.

Answer 6
