Does anyone know of any products that have Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid mixed with Tea Tree Oil?

Tea Tree oil is great for acne. But, I highly recommend dilluting it with water for your face. Tea tree oil is ok undilluted for other areas of your body, but for the delicate skin on the face it is best dilluted. You can use it all over to help in prevention and also directly on the pimple.
I hope this helps some!

Yikes !! Dont!! Wot if some skin is broken somewhere on your face??? It will sting like the devil then !!!.......... jus put the tip of a cotton bud into the tea tree oil bottle and apply to your face that way.
Want to know a better home remedy??? This one is fantastic, cheap, easy and natural. Buy a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar and put 2 tablespoons full into a bowl with a teaspoon of baking soda and mix until fizzing stops. Get some cotton balls and apply mix to your face as you would a moisturiser, concentrating on problem areas. When you've finished simply wash off with a face cloth and warm water. Voila !! Great isn't it??...............
Now, if you do this as a cleanser/toner morning and night you will notice a tremendous difference in the softness and clearness of your skin. Try it, all you've got to lose is pimples !! Oh, BTW, don't listen to anyone who tells organic apple cider vinegar will destroy your skin, thats rubbish, totally. Apple cider vinegar is an alkaline food and therefore will create an alkaline environment.
PEACE & LIGHT TO YOU

Don't use it undiluted, it is too strong. It does work well on acne
