In the past I have had really bad acne but I went to the dermatologist and long story short I got my skin cleared up. However, lately I have been breaking out so much lately and my acne is getting bad again. My acne medication isn't working as well anymore and I want to try and see if tea tree oil will work. I've heard such great things about it and I just wanted to hear your experiences with tea tree oil.

I loove it!. I put some on whenever I feel a really big one forming under my skin & it helps immensely.
but I noticed when I sometimes become impatient & put waay to much on, my skin dries up really fast and peels. other than that its great to get rid of the major ones -.-

Maybe you should try another dermatologist? When I had bigger acne problems I went to see 6 or 7 until someone finally helped me more permanently :) and I've been using tea tree oil, but it didn't help massively, it just makes your skin dry (but that was in my case and every skin reacts differently)

Everyone's skin reacts differently than others. I would always recommend doing a spot test on your arm to see if it breaks you out or dries up your skin. I honestly would see another dermatologist and maybe they can give you a new medication.

Yes, putting a dab of tea tree oil will help - when you feel a pimple coming on, or when one has already formed. it should disappear in a day or two or three. Use a QTip and dab it directly on. Tea Tree oil is pretty stinky, but potent! Also, you should keep it in the fridge to amp up the effect and to keep it fresher for a longer period of time.
