Tea-tree oil is used to treat mild, occasional breakouts.  It is distilled from the leaves of an Australian shrub.  Tea-tree oil contains antibacterial and antimicrobial compounds called terpenoids that help kill bacteria. 

Studies testing tea-tree oil against the gold-standard acne treatment, benzoyl peroxide, have shown that while the latter works more quickly, tea-tree oil is equally effective over time and results in fewer side effect, such as dryness and redness.
