is tea tree oil ok?

I have a terrible breakout and I know I'm not supposed to use Benz Peroxide products.  But do you think I can use tea tree oil?

  • I'm interested too!  I  googled and got the impression that it is safe for some/ moderate topical use but no good research has been cited to determine the actual effects on a developing fetus.  Never injest tea tree oil (when pregnant? I'd never thought to eat it- but wouldn't be opposed).  HTH!

  • You know, I was wondering the same thing b/c I dabbed some on a breakout I had in the past couple of days (which it did dry out).  But then when I looked up if its safe I have found different opinions.  Some people say avoid it...some say OK.  So I don't know...I'm going to wait and see what the Dr. says.
