User Reviews for tea tree oil

I have had acne since puberty, and now well into my adult years. Adding tea tree oil to my night time cleanser and to my morning aftershave or toner has produced a marked improvement in my skin clearness and reduced breakouts.

I am skeptical of whoever came up with an 80% success rate using tea tree oil on toenail fungus. Taking an oral anti-fungal has worked very well for me, whereas the oil did nothing but make any room it was used in smell extremely unpleasant. Please note, the tea tree oil smell will accompany you wherever you go.

I injured my hand due to rose thorn injury. Dr thought it was a very serious fungal infection. Did not want to take a pill for 3 months, started using tea tree oil on the bumps and they are almost gone in 24 hours.

Miraculous! Prescription meds did no good....tea tree oil stopped it in its tracks!

The intense itching from Lichen Planus,on my body and head,has lessened enough to give me hours of relief. It doesn't cure it,but certainly is the best thing I've tried.

IF you catch the cold sore beginning - there will be a sensation of "pulsing" in the lip - then apply Tea Tree Oil right away, it works. The only product that ever worked for me was Tea Tree Oil for my Cold Sore episodes. If not able to stop the cold sore from forming completely by catching that pulsing feeling at onset, then I can reduce the length of the outbreak on my lip dramatically by applying Tea Tree Oil several times a day until gone. Any brand, doesn't matter. I shake out enough into my hand or on a cotton ball to cover my sore on lip and apply it. Better than manufactured creams like Acyclovir, etc.,....Read More Read Less

I've had itchy feet for over 3 months. I couldn't figure out what it was until my boyfriend mentioned that I might have picked up Athlete's foot from my local pedicure spa. I used a topical foot spray and it seemed to help but only for short periods of time. Finally I decided to try Tea Tree Oil. Within 5 minutes I could feel relief from the annoying itch. I've applied it 2 times a day and it seems to be going away.

I read a review of home remedies for cold sores. Bought Tea Tree Oil and immediately I felt the relief and the swelling went down. In just hours the sore pretty much went unnoticeable. I'll always use this now. Sold.

I've noticed that some experience skin dryness, infection. May I suggest that you may not have an infection because it dries out the skin. Remember that the dryness is a good thing...toenail fungus loves moist environments. I have the skin dryness, but my toenail fungus is much lighter in color after about 1 month. Almond oil applied once a day will help keep the nail/skin softer.

Developed a rash and itchy, flaky skin over my entire toe. The infection thrived on the tea tree oil, Can't use it again as the reaction on my skin got much worse and the skin peeled over in layers.

I have luppus and get skin infections, which randomly appear as large hard bumps on my arms and legs. A prescription from a doctor was not effective for weeks. I used tea tree oil on a new large hard bump and it disappeared overnight!

Used 100% concentrated tea tree oil 8 drops infused with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. Cleaned / scrubbed feet thoroughly with soap and warm water, then dried well. Applied the oil mixture liberally to both feet, between toes, on heels etc., then covered with 100%cotton socks before bed. Repeated in the morning. Showered, completely dried the feet then re-applied the oil combination, put on a new pair of 100% cotton socks. Regularized this procedure for 4 weeks and the problem was solved.

I had folicalitis a few years ago it really helped Had ringworm a few week ago, put pure tea tree oil on overnight, worked wonders

I always had cold sores before and sometimes it grew so huge that I got embarrassed with this skin anomaly. Now, I am a happy camper! I used it for anything for my skin, dental hygiene, toenails when I clean them. TOday I am recommending this for my husband's skin boil.

Simply awesome!

I decided to try this on my husband. He has been applying steroids to his ankles and feet since he was a child. It's more complicated than that. He has eczema on his feet (top and bottom) which requires moisture, but also gets athletes foot which requires drying. Tea Tree old takes care of both. It has worked miracles on his feet and ankles taking care of both problems and healing wounds from both problems in hours. We've tried everything from honey to coconut oil and nothing has worked this quick. He actually sleeps through the night without waking up to scratch layers of skin off his feet. The sores on his ankle would get so nasty that the doc would touch them with gloves and a stick. They all dried up and went away. Love love love this stuff! Read More Read Less

red and dry patches on nose. 7-26-15 in 1 day applying 4 times the reddness seems to be fading

When I first used Melaleuca toothpaste the plaque I had started to disintegrate, and I could easily, with my fingernail, chip it off. Continued use seems to prevent the build-up of plaque, but if some does build up it is then easy to chip off myself. I am having a hard time right now finding toothpaste with the tea tree oil in it, in sufficient strength. Apparently you have to be a 'member' of Melaleuca Co. to get theirs, which is the one I used to get the great results.

Soften the skin and made the healing process easier.

Sinusitis, nose was bleeding, scar tissue, I think fungal but never diagnosed, 15 years. I used tea trea oil direct, one drop on finger 1x/week for 3 weeks, then 1x/month for 3 months. Problem now gone! Had tried Echinacea/vit E (which I use on mouth cold sores), but that hadn't worked.
