Take a clean q tip/cotton swab dip it in and apply it to your pimples.

No!! Do NOT apply directly to pimples. You HAVE to dilute it in water (3-4 drops in approximately 3 tablespoons of water). I applied TTO directly to my pimples instead of listening to people and I had the most massive allergic reaction & acne breakout that I'm still trying to make better and it's been 2 months. Too much TTO can ruin your skin. Please do a patch test first on your wrist and dilute it. But I really hope it works for you :)

@madi How long did you have it on before you could tell you were allergic to it or broke out?

You don't have to dilute tea tree oil!

Usually it says on the back of the bottle to dilute it.

I'm not entirely sure, I used to use Teatree oil as a spot treatment also but on the back of the bottle It said it needed to be diluted with water. Maybe there are stronger ones? I found the smell of the one I used very strong though.

Maybe... It hasn't bothered me so maybe I'll be ok. I'll dilute it if it does like y'all said. Thanks madi, Amelia, Chelsey, cintya, & shaye :)

I'm sure there's probably stronger ones. Because that's only 15% tea tree oil. since it says on the label to apply directly to your skin, I wouldn't dilute it. you should be fine :)

That makes sense, now that I think about it the one I was using May have been 100% Teatree oil, my grandma was the one who gave it to me haha.

I have the exact same tea tree oil and it is safe to apply directly to the acne since its strength is only 15%, you get stronger concentrations and they have to be diluted. My local spa would use 30 percent tea tree oil safely on bare skin and no damage done so far so I am pretty sure 15 % is absolutely safe.

Don't use it directly on your skin. you can mix it with a balancing oil like jojoba oil,grapeseed oil,avcado oil... and massage it onto your skin :)

@lynzie it took me about 1 day to notice that there was something wrong. And even though it doesn't say to dilute it, I would start off doing so and slowly ramp up just because it doesn't say if it's 100% TTO. If it was then you would have to, but since it doesn't say it may already be diluted so just play around in small quantities to make sure...like I said a test spot on your wrist would work perfectly! Hope this all helps :)
