  • Researchers conducted a double-blind trial with 60 participants, measuring improvements using total lesion count (TLC) and acne severity index (ASI), and found that tea tree oil was 3.55 and 5.75 times more effective, respectively.
  • Both treatment groups experienced similar, tolerable side effects, indicating that topical tea tree oil is a safe and effective option for managing mild to moderate acne.
