Tea tree oil has been praised for it’s antibacterial properties in fighting acne. Not only is it effective in treating mild to moderate acne, but it isn’t as irritating or drying to the skin in comparison with other active acne ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide. This natural alternative roll-on is fantastic for spot treatment of the hormonal kind or that pimple that likes to show up just before important events!
3 Tea Tree Oil Acne Remedies
Acne Roll On Spot Treatment
- Roll On Applicator – 5 or 10 ml
- Tea Tree Oil (melaleuca)
- Carrier Oil- jojoba, hemp seed or grapeseed oil
Jojoba, hemp seed and grapeseed oils are great carrier oil choices for fighting acne. They are non-greasy, anti-inflammatory, and oil regulating. Using a 5 or 10 ml roll on applicator, fill 3/4 of the way with your choice of carrier oil. Fill the remaining 1/4 with tea tree oil. Mix and roll on the next time you face a break out.
Tea Tree Acne Fighting Mask
- 4 tablespoons aloe vera gel
- 2 drops tea tree oil
- 1/2 peeled cucumber
Blend all ingredients well and apply to face with fingertips or facial brush. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. The aloe and cucumber will soothe inflamed skin while the cucumber seeds themselves are rich in potassium and vitamin E which help reduce blemishes.

Hi, I wanted to ask a question about the Acne Roll On Spot Treatment. Can you use any other Carrier Oil? Such as Rapeseed Oil or Olive Oil? Thanks.
Tea tree oil is very strong in fighting against bacteria because it has strong antibacterials. To use it bare, you can plunge a cotton piece into the oil then place it on the affected skin. ITS VERY STRONG THOUGH – and I have sensitive skin. I like Tea Tree oil mixed in other products. Citrus Clear products use Tea Tree Oil, and I found that the Citrus Clear products worked better than just using plain tea tree oil. Especially cause my skin is so sensitive. No breakouts since I started that routine.
Great post! I need to buy myself a tea tree oil.
I love the sound of the mask – it sounds really calming and soothing! <3
