Tea Tree Oil
for Acne
Topical tea tree oil (5% diluted in a carrier oil or gel formulation) applied to individual spots once or twice daily.
How it works
Contains terpinen-4-ol which has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Cutibacterium acnes and anti-inflammatory properties in skin tissue.
What to watch for
Always dilute before applying — pure tea tree oil can cause skin irritation and contact dermatitis. Do not ingest. Patch test first.
