What is the proper way to use tea tree oil for my pimples? any suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tea tree oil.: Melaleuca oil is from southeast asia and has been claimed to have some antibacterial activity, but whether this has been proven to be an effective therapeutic agent is open to some question. You can try this, and the only real damage it will create is to your wallet.
