Acne: Tea tree oil (melaleuca oil) is a product which is reported to have antibacterial, antifungal, anti viral & antiseptic properties. It can treat acne, athlete's foot & head lice. It has less side-effects than benzoyl peroxide but takes longer to work.
Created for people with ongoing healthcare needs but benefits everyone.
