A member asked:
Would it be a good idea to use lavender oil on acne?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Let me help you: Tea tree, lavender and sandalwood are the most popular, pimple-fighting essential oils. Tea tree essential oil is an extremely strong antiseptic that fights off every kind of infection. Lavender essential oil is a soothing antiseptic that helps increase blood flow, which helps flush away infection. Sandalwood essential oil is a mild astringent and antiseptic that also soothes irritated skin.

Maybe: If you have very mild acne and don't need strong results, then maybe you would see some benefit from using essential oils.
