Tea Tree Oil for Zits? Yay or Nay?

I always wanted to achieve a flawless and young looking skin? Who doesn't right?

Anyway, I've been using Benzac (Benozyl peroxide) for years already when it comes to getting rid of my pimples. But lately, I decided to try natural products since it has lesser chemical content and I assume it's healthier for my skin.

I found a blog stating the benefits of the Tee Tree Oil. and I got curious about it and decided to try it myself. 
Tea Tree Oil is not widely available in the Philippines, as far as I know there are only 2 stores that sells this TTO. One is The Body Shop for the price of Php 495.00 and Zen Zest for Php 150.00 only. 

I cannot make a comparison between the 2 since I only have the one in Zen Zest obviously because its cheaper, and on my judgement, performance wise they'll just be the same. 

TTO has some amazing benefits, but the main reason why it's available in some beauty stores or an ingredient in any beauty products is because it has power of healing pimples.

Here's the link for uses of TTO:  6 Amazing Benefits of Tea Tree Oil

For some natural beauty treatment you can use this link as your guide: Tea Tree Oil Beauty Treatment

For someone who has sensitive skin please note that it's not safe to apply this oil directly to your skin. Because it will cause you redness,irritation or it will make your pimples worse. 


I personally enjoyed using it as a part of my beauty regimen, because it's natural and cheap yet very effective. I have oily skin, and when it comes to applying oil, it's really not an issue since TTO is suitable in all skin types.


Now let's see if this TTO is a yay or nay.

PROS
-all natural
-cheap
-effective for acne (just make sure to mix equal amount of water because it's too concentrated for sensitive skin)
-packaging 

CONS
-not easily available, bought this in Zen Zest glorietta, not sure if there are nearby Zen Zest branch in my home
-strong scent (although all oils have scents, if you're not used to it like me, you'll find the smell weird)

Will I re-purchase this? Of course Yes :)
