It's an antimicrobial and antibacterial oil, which means that it's useful for getting rid of blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads because those are caused by buildup of bacteria in your pores =)

I put it on my blemishes But I dilute it a bit with coconut oil because it tends to dry out my skin. just mix it up in a little container and use a qtip to dot it onto your spots. I also heard that it gets rid of dandruff and anything nasty that your feet can get. That's what my boyfriend uses it for.

It helps with blemishes and a tea tree shampoo is also great for the hair!

Along with what Hannah said antimicrobial/antibacterial means it will prevent and destroy acne causing elements. its about as effective as 5% benzoyl peroxide.

I use it for my dogs, it's a natural earthy smelling disinfectant so I mix a tablespoon of that and eucalyptus oil with a half bottle of water and shake it and spray around the house to give it a earthy smell , kills fleas, and disinfects things for me without using gross chemicals , I also used it before for my face wash

I found out because I use it on my skin and my little dog would always sniff me afterward, so I checked if it's safe, and it's not.
