Poona, Did you use the stuff full strength? If so that is probably the cause of the zits. Rick

It works really well for when I feel a zit coming on, but I think it works best on mosquito and chigger bites.

i went walgreen and bought this stuff.at first i was happy thought i add 1 more extra bottle in my lovely set.God help men this stuff smells so bad i almost lost my family wife asked politely go wash your face and doughter said daddy please go out .Sorry guys i will not use this stuff first and last one

Wow, I am digging some graves here....

My barber told me to use some of it in my shampoo for my eczema, I think I will be adding it to my lather as well. The scent is not all that bad - I am not one for cologne (after shave is for men, the other is perfume - is how I was raised), so I might be putting tea tree on as part of my finishing moves as well. Gotta try it out without first, if there is a flare then I will use for my face after.

I mix a couple of drops into my homemade ASB. It's a great natural anti-septic, but it's uber potent when used in full-strength (plus it skews the scent of the ASB a bit). It goes best with a Sandalwood/Lavender/Thyme/Sage scented ASB (IMO). Not so bueno in a Bay Rum scented ASB.
