Buy pure tea tree oil. This is how you avoid the risk of applying unknown chemicals or ingredients to your skin. Read the information on the label and make sure it’s 100% pure tea tree oil as products vary in strength. [1] X Research Source
- Even if you want to dilute tea tree oil, you should buy a 100% pure oil. That way, you’ll have control over what ingredients you use to dilute or combine with the oil.

Wash one’s face. Use a mild soap or cleanser to wash the affected area. Next, you need to pat the skin dry because tea tree oil must be applied on a dry surface. Applying tea tree oil to clean skin is essential for the oil to work effectively to treat acne.

Try tea tree oil on your skin. Before applying tea tree oil to a pimple, you should test it on a healthy area of skin. Dab a drop of oil on your hand or an easy-to-test area and let it sit for a few minutes. If the skin does not appear to be irritated, you can apply tea tree oil to the acne. [2] X Research Source
- If tea tree oil is irritating to your skin, you can choose not to use it or dilute it to avoid irritation.
- Some common side effects of tea tree oil include skin irritation, redness, or dryness. [3] X Trusted Source Science Direct Go to Source

Make acne products at home (if needed). If you feel that undiluted pure tea tree oil is too strong for your skin, feels uncomfortable or causes dryness, you should try making an acne product at home with tea tree oil. Simply add two drops of tea tree oil to two teaspoons of aloe vera gel, water, or a neutral oil like coconut or olive oil.
- Tea tree oil is very effective in treating acne even though it only accounts for 5% of the acne solution. [4] X Research Sources
- You can also try making tea tree oil with pure organic honey. Honey has antibacterial properties and helps the skin heal faster. Tea tree oil combined with honey will make a very good skin care mixture or mask.
- Store acne products in a glass jar so you can easily use them when you need them.

Apply tea tree oil to the acne. Pour a few drops of tea tree oil or diluted oil solution onto a cotton ball, cotton pad, tissue, or fingertips, then gently dab directly onto the pimple.
- A small amount of oil can penetrate the skin to unclog the sebaceous glands, disinfect the pores and dry out whiteheads, blackheads and other types of acne.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea- Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c6/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne- Step-6.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Leave the tea tree oil on the acne for a few hours or overnight. This time is for the oil to penetrate the acne and take effect. After a while, redness and swelling will decrease, and pores will be cleaned. Wash your face with warm water and gently pat dry the skin after tea tree oil has worked.
- You can wash off the tea tree oil with warm water or use a gentle cleanser (if needed).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3f/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px- Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3f/Use-Tea- Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460 ,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Repeat this method daily. Using tea tree oil to kill bacteria and clean pores will be very effective when you use it regularly. You can apply tea tree oil at any time, morning or evening.
- This method will reduce acne growth and redness that occurs due to ongoing inflammation below the skin’s surface.
Skin care with tea tree oil
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a6/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea- Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a6/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne- Step-8.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use tea tree oil as an at-home skin care mask. You can add a few drops of tea tree oil to a homemade face mask to kill bacteria and dry up acne. Try making a face mask using natural ingredients.
- Stir 3-4 drops of tea tree oil with 2 tablespoons of green clay powder – available at most health product stores. Add just enough water to make the clay a spreadable dough. Apply the mixture evenly on the face, leave the mask on the skin for at least 20 minutes, then wash your face with warm water and pat dry the skin.
- Stir in 3 drops of tea tree oil, 1 teaspoon of jojoba oil, and half a tomato puree. Apply the mixture directly to clean skin and let it sit for about 10 minutes before washing your face with warm water and patting it dry.
- Add 5 drops of tea tree oil to 1/4 cup plain yogurt (regular yogurt or Greek yogurt will work) and apply to face. Wash your face with warm water after 15-20 minutes.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ea/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea- Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ea/Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne- Step-9.jpg/v4-728px-Use-Tea-Tree-Oil-for-Acne-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add tea tree oil to a homemade scrub. To create an effective acne exfoliator, you mix tea tree oil with a few natural ingredients available in the kitchen. Stir together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup sesame or olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and about 10 drops of tea tree oil in a small bowl. Gently massage the mixture onto wet face in a circular motion for about 2-5 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water and then pat dry. [5] X Research Sources
- This exfoliator is a bit harsh on cystic acne skin, but is great for mild to moderate breakouts.
- Since tea tree oil and honey are both natural preservatives, you can make a generous amount of the scrub and pour it into a jar to use over time.
