Ingredient Spotlight: Tea Tree Oil, The OG Acne Healer

One of the earliest remedies that’s hailed to clear acne, the well-loved tea tree oil is making an appearance in products again.

by Chia Ying Na  /   October 22, 2019

Before the hype and mania of newer ‘It’ ingredients that are touted to be saviours of acne-prone skin (see: AHAs like salicylic acid) were all the rage in the beauty hemisphere, tea tree oil was the OG acne-clearing ingredient that skincare fiends were paying attention to. In recent times, this well-loved ingredient that’s been flying under the radar has started resurfacing in beauty products. What do we love about it? Apart from its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties; its versatility – it can be used on its own as a spot treatment and it works well when mixed in products too.
