I have been using tea tree soap and tea tree oil for about 3 weeks and am seeing much better results than with any OTC or prescription, and much less expensive. The soap I bought at a helath food store (3 for @$9), the oil at Walmart for $5. I use the soap 2x and the oil (which is NOT oily for those of you with oily skin) at night. Just apply with cotton to affected areas. It does have an odor similar to tree bark, so hence the nighttime application. Hope some of you try this and it works for you too!

I'll second that! The Body Shop has a great tea tree oil line (cleanser, toner, etc.). I've been using their toner for the last few months and have really noticed a difference in the quality of my skin. And I also second that anyone with oily skin shouldn't be scared off by the word "oil" here; I have terribly oily skin, but this product is great for it.

One additional herbal suggestion: Burt's Bees also has great natural products for blemish-prone skin. I use the garden tomato soap and the herbal blemish stick and have had great success with them.
