I have been using tea tree oil and aloe vera and it is having a great effect on both my acne and the scars, even the tissue loss scars!
I wash my face with a salicylic cleanser, then wet a cotton pad and add three to five drops of tea tree oil onto it and apply it to my entire face (skipping areas that never break out and eye area of course) Then I cut off a piece of my aloe vera plant and peel the leaf open and rub it on my whole face like a moiturizer, including around my eyes.
Aloe vera has salicylic acid in it naturally and doesn’t cog pore at all (according to my research) Also I read that most products that claim they have aloe have hardly any due to lack of regualtion ANd that to be actually medicinal you have to use the whole leaf of the plant and fresh otherwise it loses it’s healing benefit.
I am also using an at home glycolic 13% light peel every week.
My acne is FINALLY under control!
and I love that the products I’m using (with the exception of the cleanser) will never be discontinued! and are more natural.
