Tea tree oil and acne; a great popular home remedy.
Tea Tree oil and acne? Tea-tree oil (an essential oil of the Australian native tree Melaleuca alternifolia) has long been regarded as a useful topical antiseptic agent in Australia and has been shown to have a variety of antimicrobial activities. The best evidence for benefits with tea tree oil and acne comes from a single-blind, randomised clinical trial on 124 patients to evaluate the efficacy and skin tolerance of 5% tea-tree oil gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne when compared with 5% benzoyl peroxide lotion. The results of this study showed that both 5% tea-tree oil and 5% benzoyl peroxide had a significant effect in ameliorating the patients' acne by reducing the number of inflamed and non-inflamed lesions (open and closed comedones), although the onset of action in the case of tea-tree oil was slower. Encouragingly, fewer side effects were experienced by patients treated with tea-tree oil. Another randomized double-blind clinical trial of 60 people with mild to moderate acne symptoms showed that tea tree oil gel was significantly more effective than placebo at reducing both the number of acne lesions and their severity. Suggestion:You MUST use 100% natural strength Tea Tree Oil. Please do not use too much, it is meant for individual pimples only due to its potency, although if you gently apply a little on you whole face, it should still be fine espeically if you mix it with something gentle, like a non-comedogenic moisturiser or aloe vera.I have sensitive skin but my skin reacts very well with Tea Tree Oil. If it irritates your skin, try mixing it with your moisturizer. It is also good to put on your skin after you shave your legs! It clears up razor burn very quickly.
