I love tea tree oil, and this was on my list to buy for a looooong time. I use it mostly on my pimples, and occasionally the man will let me use it on his.
The smell is something I'm used to now, I can't say I enjoy it but I am used to it. The man hates it and calls me stinky face, but that's fine. It does the job!
I tip the bottle and the cotton bud I hold to it sucks up the liquid that comes out, and I apply it to my pimples with a few swipes. It does my entire face ( I usually only have 3 pimples at once) and it's hygienic as my fingers aren't involved at all.
This does dry the skin out with over use, so I'd warn against that. But this stuff is gold in a bottle, and it's going to last a long time. I would definitely repurchase though, and it'll be a staple in the house when the kidlets get the wonderful gift of cooties !
I don't really use this on my skin, more so in my washing to kill bugs when the family is sick. I have also used to soak my underwear with warm water and some drops to kill in bacteria having getting candida from taking antibiotics. I also use it in an oil burner to help the family breath when sick and protect the remaining family miners from catching the cold floating around. I have tried to use on pimples but found it burnt my skin instead
