anyway for some reason they are in the process of discontinuing it and coming out with something new....but you can still get it....great stuff!

Tea Tree Oil is a natural antiseptic, germicide, antibacterial, topical

you just put some on a cotton swab and rub the affected area


you can use it on all acne, it works pretty well

some ppl put it in their hair products and body wash (i never have but buddies have and sware by it)

 

[Nutri-Wrestler]

How the hell do u swab your back?!

 

[johnny tougharms]

with the body stuff shop stuff you dont have to swab.....its in a roll on bottle like womens deodorant.....just roll it up and down your traps and the back of your neck....

 

[BEEFCKE]

Where would they sell this item?
Sounds good, and with that price you cant go wrong.
What type of store would carry that roll deodorant type bottle?

i'll get all the pricing info on the various types (oil/cream etc) tommorow when i go to work. if someone else doesn't know off the top of their head that is. about the nizoral, it helps with the acne for some reason. not sure on the mechanism, but someone said to try it once.....and i did it for three days now and it seems the acne on the arms is getting better. need to give it a week though. i also have been using aloe vera cream and benadryl spray (for little red spots i get on my arms for some unknown reason, i think from heat sensitivity). so i am putting a lot of shit on my arms! soon i'll start tee tree oil too.....wanted to see how the nizoral worked by itself first though.

nizoral helps with acne for the same reason it helps with hairloss (well part of the reason). ketoconazole is an antifungal that helps stop dandruff, but it also has anti-androgenic properties, supposedly. So, it's supposed to reduced dht binding in the scalp to fight hair loss. Not sure exactly how it works in the skin, but I would imagine in a similar manner as in the scalp. It reduced androgen binding, therefore helping to get rid of acne. hope this helps.

 

[young guns]

by the way, does the tea tree oil dry out your skin?

yeah, what he said. that is what i figured too. it cleans out all the shit out of the pores, plus it has anti androgen properties as well. all i know is that it dries out the pimples and makes it so that they don't pop up. as for the tea tree oil, i found these two items at work.....we usually have more but this is about all we had at this time:

Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Skin Ointment
$6.99 for 1 oz/30ml
smells like shit and includes:
sweet almond oil, tee tree oil, jojoba oil, calendula extract, lavender oil, cetyl esters, beeswax

Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil
$8.99 for .5 oz/15ml
its just the oil itself for swab application
Ingredients are just the pure oil.

i bought them both so i'll try them out after i give nizoral a week by itself.
there was also a "pain relief" tea tree oil cream/ointment. but i didn't need that and forgot the price. i know we got GNC brand of the same shit for even cheaper.....but it is popular and is sold out.

 

[gator-d]

excellent post! keep us informed warbird.

 

[trial0r]

ive used the desert essence tea tree oil...it dries your skin like crazy, almost to the point of pain. but hey the acne goes away

 

[Advaik]

how can you use that shit? it smells horrible

 

[WARBIRDWS6]

how can you use that shit? it smells horrible

it does stink. but try the "oinment" i described above....man that shit stinks like hell even worse.

You can buy "Tea Tree Oil Soap", that won't stink brother. That way you don't have to worry about having to get someone to swab your back for you either. You can just soap up a back-scrubber while in the shower, and do it yourself. I have found bars of T.T.O.S at my local health-food store, for like $3.50/bar. One bar lasts like 3-4 weeks, and it does work well for Acne imo. Also, I have never had any problems with the soap drying out my skin to the point of pain, so maybe that's is better than the ointment mentioned earlier.
